Attention All Boat Owners in the Bay of La Paz

To ensure the responsible, orderly, and safe use of our bay, all boat owners are requested to comply with the following provisions:

If you do not have the means to remove your vessel or know the owner of a vessel or remains located in the bay, please visit the offices of the Port Captain of La Paz. The offices are open Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 2:30 PM, where you will receive the necessary guidance.

The deadline to comply with these provisions is Monday, August 26, 2024. After this date, vessels that have not been removed will be transferred to a storage area. To retrieve them, you will need to provide proof of ownership and cover the costs of transfer and storage. Additionally, administrative procedures will be initiated in applicable cases.

Consequences of Non-Compliance:


Moored Boat Owners Must Register Vessels for Hurricane Season!

In a press release by the State Govemerment of La Paz on August 1st the Port Administration of Baja California Sur (API-BCS) is calling on boat owners and/or their representatives with vessels anchored or moored within the areas leased to API in the bay of La Paz to register at the municipal pier offices located on the Malecón in the city center.

The purpose is to regularize their stay and provide contact information for notifications regarding secure locations during the 2024 cyclone and hurricane season. María Fernanda Meza García, Director of Marketing and Operations, emphasized that managing the bay is a priority for this administration.

Notifications are being made directly on the boats, some of which are in a state of evident abandonment. If owners do not report within the legally established timeframe, a declaration of abandonment will be requested, and the boats will be safeguarded by the relevant authorities to prevent them from sinking during any weather emergency, Meza García explained.

She also noted that a census with geo-referencing has been underway for several weeks to track the movement, characteristics, name, and registration number of the vessels within the mentioned area.

If owners are not on board to receive notice, they will be notified through letters placed in visible locations.

For more information, please contact the following numbers: 612-203-6563 and 612-120-3071.


Change to the DVD Loaner Program!

DVDs aren’t completely obsolete, but with the availability of WiFi and Starlink and not a great number of DVD players anymore, we have seen a sharp decline in the checking out of our collection.

A wonderful member, Homer, has spent the last few weeks going through the hundreds of cases and matching them with the DVDs in the coffee room. The DVDs with cases will be categorized alphabetically by title, and checking them out will no longer be required. You can simply take a DVD and bring it back when you are done, or pass it on. Feel free to donate DVDs with cases and in good condition, just like our books!


Summer Time at Club Cruceros

Things quiet down at the Club during the summer with few events planned, but remember we still have a few things happening, so come on down:


Summer Sailstice Race - June 21!

Summer Sailstice is a world-wide celebration of sailing that  takes  place over the weekend closest to the summer solstice. Club Cruceros will join the festivities with a Veleros de Baja race on Friday, June 21st, starting at 1:00 pm. Listen to Channel 22 the week prior for race course logistics announced by "Sea Otter" Jimmy. He will be monitoring Channel 68 during the race. 

After the race, head to Estrella de Mar where Captain Wayne will be playing live music on the back deck. We'll announce the winner of the race and hear some tall tales from the race course.

Club Cruceros Partners with Mar Libre

Club Cruceros is proudly supporting the efforts of the local conservation group, Mar Libre, in the removal of derelict boats and debris from the La Paz beaches and educating students through their in-school Pollution Prevention Classes. We have donated $20,000 pesos from the Charity Committee to pay a teacher honorarium, and another $20,000 from our disaster fund recently paid for the removal of the powerboat Chief and a huge piece of floating dock that was breaking apart. Mar Libre also organizes monthly beach cleanups and welcomes volunteers. If you would like to personally donate to these maritime efforts or volunteer, go to the Mar Libre Facebook page for details and to contact the founder, Pablo Ahuja. See the photos here...


Dues Increase... For Some

When you pay your Club dues online at the Club Cruceros website you will see the cost has been raised to $12 US. Due to the weakness of the US dollar, the board voted to increase the annual dues beginning June 1, but only for those paying via PayPal. For those paying at the Clubhouse, dues remain $200 pesos per person. Thanks for keeping Club Cruceros afloat over the years through your membership  support.


Bayfest 2024

And that’s a wrap. 5 days of Bayfest. It was a huge success due to the hard work of an incredible crew of volunteers. Seminars, sailboat race, workshops, chili cook off, luau, happy hours, cards, wine tasting, dinghy poker, hot dogs & beer, horseshoes, bocce ball, raffle prizes and many, many new and old friends. It was a blast, and this year was enjoyed by over 100 cruisers and local ex-pats. Check out some photos here... and we hope to see you April 3–6 next year!
