Los Cabos Luxury Sailing, Snorkel and Lunch Cruise

Sail to a secluded bay, snorkel the tropical fish, and eat lunch on the water with a drink in hand.

A half-day luxury sailing activity in Los Cabos where you board a sailboat at the main pier, cruise past Lover's Beach and the famous arch, then snorkel and paddleboard in a secluded bay before eating gourmet lunch and drinking from an open bar on the return sail. The boat holds a maximum of 16 people, pickup is included, and you choose whether to snorkel, paddleboard or sunbathe during the water stop.

The Experience

What's the actual difference between a crowded boat tour and a day on the water you'll actually remember? This one keeps the group to 16 people maximum, which means the guide knows your name and the deck doesn't feel like a ferry. You're picked up before the tour starts—the operator confirms the time and location once you book—and then you walk to the main pier at Cabo Adventures to board. The sailboat heads first to Lover's Beach and the famous arch for photos, then cruises to a secluded bay where the real day begins.

Once anchored, you decide what to do: snorkel with tropical fish using the provided equipment, stand on a paddleboard, or lie on deck and do nothing. There's no schedule pushing you through it. Lunch is served onboard—gourmet, with a vegetarian option if you request it when booking—and the open bar runs the whole time: beer, spirits, sparkling wine, whatever you want. The sail back to the marina is the wind-down, and the whole thing takes four hours from check-in to the pier.

A few practical notes: you need at least moderate fitness to get on and off the boat and into the water; kids are welcome from age 8 onward; footwear comes off before boarding; and the sailing time shifts with weather. There's a weight limit of 265 pounds or 120 kilograms per person. Expectant mothers cannot participate.

Top questions

What do I actually do during the time we're anchored in the bay?

You choose. The snorkeling equipment is provided and the tropical fish are there; the paddleboards are ready if you want to stand on one; or you can stay on deck and sunbathe. Nobody is herding you through a schedule.

Is the lunch included, or do I pay extra?

Lunch is included, and so is the open bar—beer, spirits and sparkling wine throughout the cruise. If you need a vegetarian meal, let the operator know when you book.

How do I get to the boat, and what time does it start?

Pickup is included in the price. Once you book, you'll confirm the pickup time and location directly with the tour operator through your booking confirmation.

Can my kids come on this cruise?

Children are welcome from age 8 and up. They'll need the same moderate fitness level to board and enter the water, and the same weight limit applies.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Sailing time depends on weather conditions, so the day may shift depending on wind and sea state. The operator will work with you on timing, but the core activity—the sail, the snorkeling stop and the lunch—stays the same.
