A Closer Look at the Experience

This private yacht tour stands out because of its personalized approach. Unlike larger, crowd-packed excursions, this trip puts your group in the spotlight. The company offers a 52-foot luxury yacht for groups up to 18 people, which means plenty of space to spread out, relax, and enjoy the views comfortably.

The Itinerary: What to Expect

Your adventure begins at Cabo Boat Adventures at Muelle/Gate C in IGY MARINA, a convenient starting point in the heart of Cabo San Lucas. The captains are attentive, and they’ll come to meet you right at the gate—no need to enter the dock area, which keeps things straightforward.

The first stop is the famous Arch of Cabo San Lucas, a striking natural rock formation that’s synonymous with the area. From the boat, you’ll get an up-close view of this iconic landmark, perfect for photos and the quintessential Cabo experience. Be sure to have your camera ready—these views are breathtaking.

Next, the tour moves to a popular snorkeling spot. We loved that they offer snorkeling gear, making it easy to dip into the water and observe the vibrant tropical fish. Many reviews mention how much guests enjoyed the chance to see marine life up close. If swimming isn’t your thing, or you prefer relaxing, just let the crew know—lily pads and paddle boards are available for a more laid-back experience.

After your water activities, you’ll return to the yacht for a delicious Mexican lunch. The onboard menu features traditional flavors—think fresh tacos, ceviche, or other local specialties—accompanied by snacks and refreshing beverages. The inclusion of Margaritas is a definite highlight, adding a festive touch to the celebration.

Customization and Special Occasions

A key aspect of this tour is its ability to be tailored to your preferences. If you’re celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or bachelorette party, the crew is happy to decorate the boat and help create a memorable atmosphere. One reviewer praised how they decorated a boat and played birthday music, making the event feel truly special.

The tour duration is approximately 3 hours, which balances ample time for sightseeing, water activities, and dining without feeling rushed. You can usually choose morning or afternoon slots, fitting it into your overall Cabo itinerary with ease.

The Experience in Practice

Guests consistently highlight the friendly, helpful crew—Pablo, Erick, and others—who go above and beyond to ensure everyone’s comfort. Multiple reviews mention how attentive and accommodating they are. For example, one guest from the US shared, “The captain and assistant were so attentive. The food made on board was so delicious.”

The scenery, combined with the personalized service, makes this a relaxing yet engaging outing. Whether you’re floating on a lily pad, paddling along the coastline, or enjoying a tropical fish feast underwater, the experience is designed to cater to your group’s interests.
