The Sea of Cortez in Mexico is a stunning place to learn to sail, with over 900 islands to explore! Picture white sand beaches and azure waters meeting a dramatic desert landscape with red rock cliffs. One of the real treats of the area is the abundant marine life, from friendly sea lions you can snorkel with to migrating whales and giant manta rays… A short flight from the US into the peaceful city of La Paz (or you have the option of flying into Cabo San Lucas and taking a shuttle).

We have children, and plan to sail with them in the future, so we wanted them to be learning too. Nautilus was great to work with and it felt like they really understood our personal goals.
