EarthNC - Nautical Data for a Digital World

The Sea of Cortez (the water between Baja California and the Mexican mainland) is a boater’s paradise offering world class cruising, sailing, and fishing. Unfortunately, the Sea of Cortez is not well charted and due to its geography (lots of rocks), contains many hazards to navigation for the unwary or unfamiliar.

To help boaters cruising in the San Carlos area (about midway up the eastern shore of the Sea of Cortez), EarthNC user Tony H. , a long-time boater in the San Carlos area, provided EarthNC a large set of his accumulated Points-of-Interest (POIs) to share to with other boaters. Tony’s POIs include hazards such as submerged rocks, local place names for many harbors and anchorages, and helpful waypoints.

This is unofficial data so USE AT YOUR OWN RISK and please provide feedback via our Contact Form or via the built-in links in the POI map to suggest corrections and/or additions. If you have your own local boating information you’d like to share with others, please let contact us.

For more comprehensive information on cruising the Sea of Cortez, Gerry Cunningham of www.gerrycruise.com offers custom charts and waypoint tables from his long cruising tenure in the area. You can also find active Sea of Cortez online message boards at www.sancarlosmexico.com
