Balandra Bay Trip2 adults

Cons: Boat looks nothing like the pictures! The flooring was rotted and peeling. The seats were all missing screws and floppy. Sharp metal my husband and I both cut ourselves on getting in/out to swim. Pros: Our captain was very sweet and took us exactly were we requested. We paid $800 for 5 hours. Had it not been our last day, and me being desperate to see Balandra & Telecote, I would have walked away before we boarded. Unfortunately, due to lack of simple upkeep/maintenance, we can not recommend this rental.

    our three generation family had a lot of fun

    Balandra Bay Trip6 adults2 children

    Our three generation family of 6 had a great day at Balandra Bay with Tony. I actually had no idea what to expect of the day - but turns out it was really great for our family with elders (70+) and two young children. We started at 11am, arrived at the Marina and there was a parking spot saved for us! Like Tony was waiting for us and there was a car holding our spot. So it was super smooth. Our little boat was adorable. The sail was much more smooth than what we thought - only took 50 min. Tony showed us the sea lion island then we went to a secluded beach in Balandra where we were nearly the only people there. Got a big umbrella and four chairs for us. Balandra was a must see so I am really glad we did it. This price and deal is much better than what I could find elsewhere.

    Response from Charter operator

    Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that your three-generation family had such a memorable day exploring Balandra Bay with captain Tony. It’s great to know that everything went smoothly from the moment you arrived at the marina, and that the experience was comfortable and enjoyable for both the grandparents and the children. We always strive to make our guests feel welcome and taken care of, and we’re happy that the reserved parking, smooth sailing, and beach setup helped make the day stress-free. Balandra is truly one of Baja’s most beautiful destinations, and we’re glad you had the opportunity to enjoy a quieter, more secluded side of it. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Capitan Tony—he’ll be thrilled to know he helped make your family’s experience so special. Thank you again for choosing us. We hope to welcome you and your family back to La Paz for another unforgettable adventure in the future! Warm regards, MC Yachts Company ⚓️🌊
