Mazatlan -> Isabela (Round Trip)

Put your sailing skills to the test by cruising the beautiful coast of mainland Mexico! Join us in Mazatlan to hop aboard Lintika for a ~100 nautical mile, overnight passage South to Isla Isabela- and back again! It is likely that the way there will be downwind, and the way back will be upwind- so it is ideal for anyone who wants to learn about passage planning: picking the right weather window, working on their night watch skills, and learning about offshore navigation. Your time aboard will give plenty of opportunities to get to know the systems aboard Lintika, and experience a good mix of sailing and exploration/relaxation. If conditions permit, we will aim to spend a few days at anchor at Isla Isabel, which is known as a miniature 'Galapagos of Mexico' because it's many nesting birds and iguanas that have no natural enemies and aren't scared of humans! Another potential stop would be in the jungle-zone of San Blas on the coast, before continuing back North.

Every trip is designed to give a generous window of time to pick the best weather for sailing conditions. This means that outside of sailing, a portion of the trip will also be dedicated to experiencing the cruisers lifestyle by snorkeling, paddle boarding, relaxing at anchor or exploring the cultural hubs that Mexico has to offer.

The trip includes your personalized instruction, accommodations aboard including all food and bev., safety equipment, and course materials. We ask students to board Lintika by 12pm the first day the course begins.
