About Sea Trek: A Baja Adventure Kayak Company

Owner, founder Bob Licht discovered the joys of sea kayaking in Baja in 1975 with a small group of Outward Bound instructors that were exploring the possibilites of opening a program there. Bob brought friends down for the next three years before starting commercial trips in 1978. He is considered one of the pioneers of sea kayaking in Baja. This year we celebrate 30 years of successful paddling expeditions.

The staff that you will meet below and hopefully in person have been the core guides of our programs for over 10 years. They are a skilled and personable team that looks forward to working together every season and meeting this year's clients. We hope you will be one of them.

Our Baja Kayaking Guides

Mitch Powers
For the last ten seasons he's been Sea Trek's lead Baja guide, bringing to our clients great leadership, tasty meals, fascinating stories and a sense of his love for this rugged landscape. Mitch has developed a depth of knowledge of the human and natural history to share with you.

Back at our Sausalito base, he is Sea Trek's full time Director of Instructional Programs and the author of the sea kayaking handbook "First Strokes." He is a year-round professional sea kayaker.

Michael Morgan
Michael is truly a “Renaissance Man”. He has a background in engineering and Marine Biology from the University of California Irvine. He has been a professional fashion photographer, an artist, and is currently studying 14th Century martial arts and swordsmanship.

For the past eleven years Michael has been a full-time Senior Instructor and Guide in Sausalito. For the last eight years he’s been leading our trips in Baja bringing his safety consciousness, wisdom, and wealth of knowledge of the desert and the sea. With his pirates earring and cheek splitting grin, you will always feel taken care of on Michaels’ trips.

Jose Cruz
Jose lives in Loreto with his wife Nina and children Jose Jr., and Jessica. He has been a commercial fisherman in Loreto with his brother Alphonso. For four summers he worked at our base in Sausalito guiding trips, driving the Sea Trek skiff, doing boat maintenince and improving his English. His family, including six brothers has lived in Loreto for many generations and he is our second family during our Baja season.

When you come for your morning cofee you will be greeted by Jose's killer smile. Throughout the day he will be making sure that you are enjoying his home as much as he does.

Alphonso Cruz
Jose's brother, Alphonso is a full time commercial fisherman who has lived in Loreto his entire life. We could not ask for a more experienced person to skipper our support boat. Awareness of changing weather, boat mechanics and an intimate knowledge and love of the Sea of Cortez runs in his blood.

On mornings when we travel to another camp you will see Alphonso loading up the kitchen, extra water and remaining group gear into the panga. The next time we see him is usually at our destination. He sets up the camp and makes for a friendly welcoming sight.
