Schedule yourself out for a day, a week, or a month, on a piece of recent history. Our 58’ pilothouse trawler, the Marylee, has housed and cruised scientists and filmmakers for the Smithsonian, the BBC, Stanford University, etc. Marylee was the base of operations for the television documentary series on the Humboldt squid and has done multiple other research and scientific projects offshore in the Pacific to the Socorro Islands, and throughout the inside Sea of Cortez, (the Gulf of California).
The remarkable and muscular Marylee is berthed in Marina Palmira in La Paz, Mexico, a two-hour drive from Cabo San Lucas. Ground transportation is included. La Paz is the capital city of Baja Sur, famously known as the gateway to the inside Sea of Cortez. The Sea of Cortez is the 2nd most biologically diverse nautical environment on the planet! The Marine Waterfront Hotel, located on the marina in front of Baja Charters’ yachts, is a four-star facility right off the beach walkway known as the Malecon. Hotel room nights in this special boutique resort are a part of our Fishing-Hotel Packages, along with breakfast and FREE beverages in our very own www.CaptainsSunsetBar.com.
The Marylee is ideal for freediving, spear fishing, and the more traditional sport fishing. The large stern platform is ideal for getting in and out of the water for free diving and snorkeling. It has a substantial stainless-steel fold down ladder. There are three bait tanks and a 5-ton fish freezer-locker on board. Marylee is a full walkaround vessel with fishing spots astern, amidships, and in the bow.
The Marylee is available as a private charter for the Whale Shark and Sea Lion encounter. When cleared into the whale shark feeding zone, we use a separate snorkel boat to get guests up close to the whale sharks. Everything is included in the basic charter rate. There are no extra charges. This is a snorkel only activity, as scuba is not legal around the protected whale sharks.
Marylee has hosted a lot of scuba divers over time. There is a compressor on board for recharging oxygen tanks. The extra-large swim step with heavy duty stainless ladder is ideal for getting into and out of the water. Considerable scuba diving was involved in the underwater photography work by the Smithsonian, BBC, Blue Planet and Stanford University film projects done from onboard the Marylee.
Marylee is the ideal vessel for conducting scientific research throughout the inside Sea of Cortez, and outside the peninsula along the Cabo Pulmo reef area, and out to the Socorro Islands or further north to Magdalene Bay and surrounding areas. From a week to a full thirty days afloat, Marylee can handle it. She comes with six fuel tanks, a thousand gallon a day water maker, and a washer-dryer.

Marylee was purposely built to support scientific research, spearfishing, sportfishing, scuba, underwater photography, along with just about anything else you might want to do in the tropical waters of the Sea of Cortez and beyond. She has a strong hull, wide for her length, a spacious main salon with 2 beautifully appointed sleeping salons. Marylee has 3 bathrooms, a large pilothouse, 3 bait tanks, and a 5-ton fish freezer, along with a full galley, twin 350 HP turbo-diesels, and massive stabilizers for a smooth ride even in rough seas. This remarkable vessel has six fuel tanks, and a 1000 gallon-a-day water maker with washer-dryer. Marylee can go places and be gone a long time.
Marylee has an onboard compressor for scuba tanks but has done more snorkel and free diving than scuba. She is a great fishing yacht, and perfect for general exploration. A true adventure boat with lots of fun options! On board are kayaks, fishing gear, spear guns, and a huge fish locker for storing the fish catch on extended charters. Marylee is powerfully built to go just about anywhere you’re ready to go.
