WELCOME TO CLUB CRUCEROS de LA PAZ

Club Cruceros de La Paz A.C. is a non-profit Mexican corporation, headquartered in Marina de La Paz in the city of La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico. It was founded in 1988 by 164 charter members. The Club currently has over 450 members. The Club’s objectives are to:

1. Provide information and assistance to the boating community.

2. Offer emergency assistance to boaters.

3. Promote safety and the exchange of knowledge and experience.

4. Serve as a center for social events.

5. Establish and maintain good relations with the Mexican Community.

6. Be involved in charitable programs and spearhead special events.

7. Promote goodwill among the international cruising community.

The Club helps in the support of the Children’s Foundation (Fundacion Ayuda Ninos La Paz). The main fundraiser for the Foundation is the Annual “Subasta” (auction) in December. At the Subasta you will find a festival of food, music, raffle, bazaar, and a silent & live auction. All monies raised, along with cash donations received throughout the year, go to help the Foundation in it’s effort to provide assistance in some of the poorer neighborhoods, including the breakfast and lunch programs, scholarship programs, and programs for children in need of medical and emotional care.

The Thanksgiving Pot Luck, with the turkeys prepared by the Club and open to everyone, kicks off the cruising season. The La Paz Bay Fest in April, a 3-day festival of music, food, beach games, water races, seminars, workshops & a large sail boat race, celebrates the winding down of the winter season and the starting up of the summer season in the Sea of Cortez.

The Clubhouse at Marina de La Paz houses a book exchange and a secure mail locker to receive mail for Club members. A mail forwarding service is also provided. There is a VHF radio available for contacting other boaters. There is a daily (Mon - Sat) VHF Net on Channel 22 at 8 am with tides, weather, mail, announcements, swaps & trades, and more. Coffee is served at the Clubhouse during the Coffee Hour from 9:30 to 10:30 Monday thru Saturday between October and June; everyone is welcome. Tee shirts are on sale at that time and videos are available,

We welcome your friendship and your membership at $10 U.S., or $100 pesos, per person per year. Come join us for coffee and camaraderie!
