The latest, most up-to-date cruising guide for Mexico's mainland Pacific coast by the authors of
Sea of Cortez: A Cruiser's Guidebook

Pacific Mexico: A Cruiser’s Guidebook, is the most up to date and comprehensive cruising guide detailing the port towns and anchorages found along the Pacific mainland coast of Mexico.

Pacific Mexico has in depth coverage of the harbors and anchorages used by cruising boats traveling along the Mexican mainland coast from Mazatlán to Zihuatanejo. And for boats traveling further south towards Central America, harbor charts are included for the more remote section of coast south of Zihuatanejo to Bahías de Huatulco.

Each anchorage and harbor listed in the guide is illustrated with GPS accurate, full page chartlets. The chartlets are derived from multiple sources including satellite photography, US and Mexican marine charts, topography and bathymetry data, and the authors’ first-hand exploration. GPS waypoints are included with the chartlets, depicted approaches, hazards and prime anchorage locations.

Important cruising information such as weather, ham and SSB radio nets, customs and immigration information, marina locations and layouts, fuel availability, boat haul out facilities, marine chandleries, and sample itineraries are among many of the features detailed throughout this guide. And because cruising doesn’t stop when the hook is dropped or the dock lines are made fast, also included are city maps, provisioning locations, dive and snorkel sites, and much more.

With stunning color photography, including aerial views of many of the anchorages, this book is not only a valuable aid to mariners, but also a fantastic way to plan your next trip or just to daydream of sunny days in Pacific Mexico.
