Cabo San Lucas: Sunset Sailing Cruise with Drinks & Snacks

Summary

Sail past el arco and lover’s beach as sunset colors cabo’s coast

You’ll sail along Cabo San Lucas’ coast at sunset, passing El Arco and Lover’s Beach while sipping unlimited drinks and snacking as sea lions bark nearby. With a local guide sharing stories and gentle waves underfoot, this cruise feels both relaxing and quietly moving—especially when everyone falls silent for that last golden light.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed was the way the light hit the water—sort of gold, but not quite. We’d barely untied from the marina in Cabo San Lucas when our guide, Carlos, pointed out El Arco. He said it like “el AR-ko,” rolling it off his tongue. The boat rocked gently as we drifted closer, sea lions barking somewhere off to the left. I could smell sunscreen and salt in the air; someone handed me a cold beer (they really do keep them coming). The kids up front were already giggling at pelicans dive-bombing for fish.

We sailed past Lover’s Beach and I tried to snap a photo but my phone caught more of my thumb than anything else. Carlos laughed and told us about how the rocks change color at sunset—he wasn’t wrong. It happened slowly, almost sneaky, until suddenly everything felt softer. There was this moment when everyone just went quiet watching the sun slide down behind Baja’s edge. I didn’t expect that part to get to me, but it did. Maybe it was the breeze or maybe just being out there with strangers who felt like friends for two hours.

I grabbed a handful of chips from the snack tray (they had veggie options too if you ask), and someone poured more wine into my plastic cup. The Pacific side looked wild compared to the calm bay—Carlos said you can sometimes spot whales if you’re lucky, though we just saw fishing boats bobbing in the distance tonight. On the way back, I remember thinking how different Cabo looks from out on the water—quieter somehow. Still think about that view sometimes when city noise gets loud back home.
