Intimate and elegant, the 120-foot 'Safari Quest' is an uncommon yacht for the uncommon traveller. The fortunate few who choose to sail aboard Safari Quest experience the ultimate in yachting, as opposed to cruising. Designed for the relaxation and comfort of just 20 discerning guests, she's the ideal boat for accessing Baja's less visited and hard-to-reach corners.

Safari Quest has an explorer's spirit and once onboard the possibilities are endless. Paddle in a placid cove on one of the yacht's eight double sea kayaks or float aboard the 12-passenger inflatable keeled tender observing one of the 10 species of whale in this region, or a large pod of dolphins. Explore on foot Baja's intriguing desert landscapes or snorkel its bountiful waters. Baja's awesome marine life is a major focus on these trips and when spotted you will stop to enjoy the show.

Safari Quest offers accommodation in three cabin categories, all charmingly decorated and equipped with private bathrooms with showers, small closet areas, individual temperature controls and VCRs. The salon has a bar and comfortable seating, the perfect place for an informal recap of the day's events with your expedition leader, while the topside Observation Deck offers the "best seats in the house" for outdoor sightseeing & a hot tub for unforgettable star gazing. The food on board, as you would expect, is also excellent with meals served together in a convivial and informal setting.
