MEXICO BOATING GUIDE

Baja, Sea of Cortez, Pacific, Mainland, Gulf Coast, & Yucatan

by Captains Pat and John Rains

This comprehensive nautical guidebook covers Mexico’s 5,500 miles of tropical coastlines. Mexico Boating Guide contains 352 pages of John & Pat Rains' superb local knowledge, +200 great aerial and land photos, +100 GPS-accurate charts--showing everything from tiny remote anchorages to major cruising ports. It covers more than 1,000 spots in Baja, the Sea of Cortez, and mainland Mexico from Puerto Peñasco to the Guatemala border, plus the entire Gulf Coast and Yucatan Channel from the Rio Grande to Chinchorro Bank in the NW Caribbean. The printed comb binding lets this book lay open and stay flat on your chart table for instant reference.
