Getting There

Señorita Rita is docked on the northern side of the Peñasco Marina, about four blocks from the main Casago offices. The docks are located three blocks south of the intersection at Calle 13 and Ave. Plutarco Elias Calles. After purchasing your cruise ticket, you will receive an email confirmation with further details. We recommend arriving at least 15 minutes early to the boat location due to parking and potential traffic. Parking is $5.00 at the Peñasco Marina.

During high-traffic seasons, such as Spring Break, Semana Santa, or during the summer, please plan to arrive with 20-30 minutes to spare. This will allow ample time to find parking and board in a relaxed manner. The docks can be busy as there are various tours with similar departure times. Please allow yourself time to ensure a relaxing afternoon.

After parking, continue past Federico's Fishing Charters and follow the ramp down to the boats. The Señorita Rita catamaran will be on the right. You'll notice it immediately given its size and name prominently displayed on the back. Plus, you'll easily spot the blue Casago shirts of our boat crew. You'll know you're in the right place once you see those!

Señorita Rita Sunset Cruise

The Señorita Rita provides two decks to enhance your viewing experience across the Sea of Cortez. For larger groups, the top deck may provide better seating arrangements so you can all stay together. Upper lounge spaces can be reserved at the time of booking (from 6 to 10 people). There is ample space on both decks for seating, offering fantastic views of the water from any angle.

The open bar begins service once the cruise officially begins. Indulge in refreshing margaritas, mai tais, soft drinks, draft beer, plus water and soft drinks. Throughout the cruise, crew members will bring around trays of drinks so you'll never be left empty-handed. Light sandwich fare is also served aboard.

While the top deck is typically more for relaxing and kicking back on the comfy lounge chairs, the lower deck frequently turns into a party zone! With upbeat music playing the entire tour, the open space in front of the bar offers the perfect venue for dancing.

Whichever deck you choose, views throughout the tour will be spectacular! You'll spot other boats, people jet skiing & parasailing, and the expansive sandy beach hugging Rocky Point's shore. Calm quiet waters welcome Señorita Rita as she skirts over the sea. As the sun begins to set about midway through the cruise, the golden hue makes for the perfect photo backdrop to capture the moment with friends and family.

Contact us to book a seat and top off your vacation to Rocky Point with a sunset cruise! Limited space available, so don't delay. *Note: Pet-friendly for friendly pups when the water is smooth! Be sure to inquire.
