Revolutionary Cabo Star Ferry Transforms La Paz-Mazatlan Maritime Connection

A groundbreaking maritime achievement has arrived in the Sea of Cortez as the Cabo Star officially begins service between La Paz and Mazatlan.

This massive investment of over 1.5 billion pesos represents the largest vessel of its kind in Latin America.

The 200-meter ferry accommodates 400 passengers while featuring revolutionary cargo capacity that dramatically increases regional connectivity.

Weekly operations run from Mazatlan to La Paz on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, while the return journey operates Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

Regional officials emphasize this vessel marks an important advance in connectivity between Baja California Sur and mainland Mexico.

The ferry replaces the aging Mexico Star with improvements focused on tourism, supply chains, and reduced environmental impact.

Designed specifically for enhanced tourism experiences, the vessel offers amenities previously unavailable on this critical maritime route.

Governor Manuel Castro highlighted the regional impact, noting Cabo Star will serve as a development engine generating jobs and strengthening supply chains.

The project encompasses three key objectives: ensuring reliable supply delivery, offering quality tourist experiences, and reducing environmental impact.

Environmental benefits include 20% reduced emissions compared to the previous vessel, supporting sustainability goals.

Baja Ferries solidifies its position as the primary logistics bridge for the Baja California peninsula, transporting over 250,000 passengers and 2 million linear meters of cargo annually.
