Cabo San Lucas: Private Yacht Charter & Open Bar with Pickup

Summary

Private Cabo yacht day with sea lions, Medano Beach drinks, open bar and snacks

You’ll step onto a private yacht in Cabo San Lucas with hotel pickup included, cruise past El Arco and its noisy sea lions, relax by Médano Beach with unlimited drinks and fresh snacks, then try paddle boarding or just float under the sun. It’s a day where laughter mixes with ocean air—and those little moments might stick with you longer than you expect.

What’s the experience like?

Someone hands me a cold drink before I even get my shoes off. The driver had picked us up right at our hotel—no stress, just that soft hum of anticipation you get before something good. When we stepped onto the Sea Ray yacht in Cabo San Lucas, the crew greeted us like old friends. Our captain grinned and pointed out the Arch straight away—El Arco—where pelicans hovered and sea lions barked over each other. I tried to count them but lost track; they’re louder than you’d think.

The sun was already high when we drifted toward Médano Beach. There’s this salty breeze, you know? Not harsh, just enough to make your hair wild. We sank into the shaded salon for guacamole and quesadillas (the pico de gallo was way spicier than I expected—my friend dared me to eat more). Someone from the crew showed us how to use the paddle boards, but honestly I spent more time on that floating mat, half-listening to laughter from another group nearby. It’s easy to lose track of time out there.

I didn’t expect how peaceful it would feel once we anchored—the kind of quiet where you notice every little sound: water slapping gently against fiberglass, distant music from a beach club mixing with gulls. If you’re lucky and it’s whale season, everyone suddenly goes silent and squints at the horizon together. Even if you’ve seen photos of Cabo yacht charters before, being out there is something else entirely. I still think about that view back toward shore as we sipped our last round from the open bar—sunlight bouncing everywhere.
