  • Thinking About Cruising to Mexico? Let’s Talk!

    Posted by Diona on August 12, 2025 at 4:13 pm

    Mexico has long been a favorite for cruisers — for good reason! It’s approachable, affordable, and full of incredible anchorages, wildlife, and welcoming communities. If you’re dreaming about crossing the border by boat, this is the perfect place to start.

    We’ve got a new online course coming up: “Setting Sail for Mexico”, led by longtime cruisers and coaches Jamie and Behan Gifford. They’ve cruised over 4,500 miles of Mexico’s Pacific coastline and are sharing everything they’ve learned — from the best weather windows to gear recommendations and where to find boat parts.

    Whether you’re chartering, coastal cruising, or prepping for your first offshore passage, this course will help you understand what to expect, how to prepare, and how to enjoy your time in Mexico.
