Baja Ferries S.A. de C.V

Baja Ferries S.A. de C.V. was founded on December 17, 1999, and opened its operations between Pichilingue and Topolobampo with a commitment to offer good, reliable service to its customers. In the summer of 2003, Baja Ferries became the only ferry operation along this route. The service between Baja California and mainland Mexico remains essential for the people of La Paz and Baja California Sur, mostly for the cargo shipped to the peninsula but also to move people between the mainland and Baja. Almost everything that is consumed in Baja California, toothpaste, soap, household goods, light bulbs, asoline, etc. has to be imported via the Sea of Cortés. Baja Ferries meets this need with daily ferry service, six days a week. Able to make the crossing in 6 hours at 24 knots (ca. 28 mph/45 kph), the 2001 Italian-built California Star has a seating capacity of 1,000 passengers and 2,100 lane meters of vehicles (that's like lining up 465 cars or 122 big rig trucks). In ddition, each of the 300 cabins can accommodate up to 4 adults and comes equipped with private WC and shower. Other amenities onboard include a gift shop, cafeteria, restaurant and bar. Watch a movie on one of the many viewing monitors, dance to a favorite tune in the disco, get a bite to eat or a full- ourse meal; passenger travel between these two ports has never been so accommodating or enjoyable. Traveling with or without your vehicle between mainland Mexico and Baja California Sur is now more than ever a fast, safe and convenient option. From motorcycles to buses or big rig trucks, the ferry can handle it. Let Baja Ferries make your adventure easy when you visit the wonders of Baja California; witness the grace and beauty of the California Gray Whales, hike the rugged mountain top forest of the Sierra de la Laguna, golf on challenging world class courses where your sand traps are the desert of Baja and the water hazard is the Sea of Cortez. Or enjoy the warmth and sun along a beach where the turquoise water fades into the blue sky. "Where else but in Baja, Worlds apart but hours near."
