New Cabo Star Ferry Enhances La Paz–Mazatlán Route with Modern Comforts
July 21, 2025
Travel between Baja California Sur and mainland Mexico just got a major upgrade. On July 17, Baja Ferries officially launched the Cabo Star, a modern ferry replacing the aging Mexico Star on the popular La Paz–Mazatlán route.
The new Cabo Star promises a smoother and more comfortable 14-hour crossing across the Sea of Cortez, offering travelers a range of enhanced amenities. Highlights include upgraded passenger cabins, VIP lounge seating, and increased cargo capacity—a welcome improvement for both tourists and commercial users.
With the Mexico Star now retired after years of faithful service, the Cabo Star steps in to meet growing demand and expectations. The vessel is part of Baja Ferries’ broader commitment to modernizing maritime transport in the region, where ferry service is a vital link connecting the Baja Peninsula with mainland ports like Mazatlán and Topolobampo.
For travelers making the scenic crossing, the Cabo Star brings added comfort to the journey—whether you’re shipping a vehicle, transporting goods, or simply enjoying the maritime ride between two of Mexico’s favorite destinations.
