So does that mean that the ferry route from Guaymas to Santa Rosalita and vice versa is dead?
I took it quite a few years ago with my NX 650, and minus a 5 degree list, and having to sit in the hold surrounded by belching diesels waiting to unload, was quite a pleasant experience.

The Mazatlan ferry isn't running currently. Although that was a month ago- they thought it might be running by the end of March, so maybe it is. I don't think I'd bet money on it.

You can buy tickets on the same day or a couple days in advance. I'd be shocked if it were full. Ours was about 10% full of cars.
