Winter transport from California to Mexico is driven by the search for warm weather, excellent fishing, and laid-back cruising. While California winters are mild, Baja and mainland Mexico offer even better conditions. The seasonal migration south includes fishing boats heading for legendary Baja fishing and cruisers exploring the Sea of Cortez.
Mexico's Pacific coast offers spectacular winter fishing—wahoo, dorado, marlin, and tuna are all in season. Water temperatures remain comfortable for swimming and diving. Baja marinas provide affordable winter storage and many American boaters enjoy the relaxed pace and scenic anchorages unavailable in California.
