- Isla Venados, Isla Pájaros and Isla Lobos, off the bay
- You anchor to swim at Venados; Pájaros is usually a pass-by
- Locally a short run is often from 3 hours; 5 hours covers more of the bay
- Humpbacks December to March: the captain says if they are there that day
The harbor
Off Mazatlán sit the three islands: Venados, Pájaros and Lobos. Yachts leave from Marina Mazatlán (Cerritos) or a downtown dock; they confirm which when you request.
Venados is where you anchor and get in the water. Pájaros is usually a close pass for the birds, not the long stop. Three hours covers a short bay run; Faro and Piedras Blancas typically need five or more. That is what the harbor runs, not our minimum — each listing sets its own.
December to March is humpback season. If that is the plan, say so when you request; the captain tells you if the sea that day allows it. We are still opening the catalog here.
