Welcome aboard our home on the water. Captain Cactus and Mate Betsy look forward to showing our guests the best of The Sea of Cortez on our 75 ft custom ketch.
The Sea of Cortez The Aquarium of the World
Imagine an impossibly beautiful place where the Sonoran Desert meets a clear blue ocean that is teeming with life – colonies of playful and mischievous sea lions, flying mobulas (manta rays that leap out of the water) and endemic species of reef fishes (that only occur in that part of the world), large colonies of seabirds nesting and soaring overhead, humpback whales breaching, and blue whales and large schools of dolphins cruising past.
That is the Gulf of California, also known as the Sea of Cortez, and it is one of the most rich and spectacular marine environments on earth — so much so that it inspired Jacques Cousteau to call it the “Aquarium of the World.”
Based out of La Paz, we will be available for cruises from Nov. 2018 thru June 2019.

Capt. Cactus and Betsy are returning to Grenada on Oct. 12 to splash Stargazer and prepare her for service.

We wish to help with aid and recovery efforts in the British and US Virgin Islands in the months to come. Stargazer has a cargo capacity of about 20 tons and we are looking for contributions of goods from the unaffected Windward Islands, especially Grenada.

Any ideas about who, what and where. Looking for durable produce like root vegetables,bread fruit, meat coco nuts (shucked) ect. Also other essentials like meds, health and hygiene items. Hardware items like generators, chain saws, come alongs, ect.

If any one wishes to contribute money towards this effort Stargazer Vacations accepts PayPal and credit cards. To contact us; [email protected] or call 530-318-3707 or
530-318 6934.

Also volunteer crew would be welcome. Loading,unloading,watch standing and regular ships duties. Two to Three day passages to and from the Windward Islands and the Virgins.

Sincerely, Capt. Cactus Bryan
