Cabo San Lucas: Sunset Yacht Cruise & Open Bar with Pickup

Summary

Sunset sailing by Cabo’s Arch with drinks music and sea lions

You’ll sail from Cabo San Lucas past El Arco and Lovers’ Beach with music playing and a cold drink in hand. Watch sea lions up close, catch that golden sunset over the Pacific, and let yourself relax completely on deck. Includes open bar, optional pickup from your resort, and plenty of little moments that stick with you long after.

What’s the experience like?

We stepped barefoot onto the trimaran just as the late sun hit the water — you could smell salt and sunscreen, and someone’s coconut lotion drifting over from the next group. Our guide, Carlos, grinned at us like he’d seen every kind of tourist under this sky. He handed me a cold Pacifico before I’d even found a seat (open bar starts right away — dangerous). The boat moved slow at first, gliding out of Cabo San Lucas Bay while pelicans skimmed along beside us. There was music playing but not too loud; mostly laughter over it anyway.

I didn’t expect to get so close to El Arco — you know that famous arch? The rock looked almost gold in the light. Carlos pointed out Lovers’ Beach on one side and Divorce Beach on the other, which made everyone laugh for some reason (he said it’s a local joke — “choose wisely!”). Sea lions barked from the rocks and one actually tried to climb up after us when we drifted near. I still think about how warm the breeze felt on my face right then, with the sun dropping behind those wild shapes.

There was time to just sit back and watch Medano Beach fade into distance, drink in hand, toes pressed into the cool deck. Some people took photos every two minutes; others just leaned against each other quietly. The crew kept coming around with sodas or tequila if you wanted it — no pressure either way. If you need pickup from your resort they’ll sort it for you (we added it last minute; honestly worth it after all those margaritas). I never thought I’d care much about rock formations or reefs but here we are — still thinking about that view now.
