Club Cruceros de La Paz

The single most important community resource for sailors and cruisers in La Paz. Club Cruceros connects the boating community with local services and causes — through a daily VHF net, clubhouse coffee, charitable giving, and more. Their own website notes it is “not just a club for those of us that are boaters.”
