Los Cabos: Sunset Yacht Sail with Open Bar & Appetizers

Summary

Sunset sailing past El Arco with drinks bites and Cabo breeze

You’ll set sail along Cabo San Lucas Bay with a small group, passing El Arco and sea lion colonies as golden light shifts across the water. Enjoy unlimited drinks from an open bar and fresh appetizers while your local crew shares stories and laughs. The sunset feels different out here — quieter somehow — and you’ll remember that color long after you’ve left.

What’s the experience like?

I didn’t expect to have to take my shoes off before stepping onto the yacht — but honestly, it felt kind of freeing. The deck was warm under my feet, and I could already smell salt in the air as we left Cabo San Lucas behind. Our guide, Carlos, grinned as he handed out the first round of margaritas (he makes them strong — fair warning) and pointed to where the sea lions were flopped out like lazy kings on the rocks. You get so close to El Arco that you can see how rough the stone is, all pitted from years of wind and water. I tried to get a photo but mostly just ended up staring at it instead.

The light changed so fast out there — one minute it was all gold, then suddenly everything looked pink. We drifted past Lover’s Beach and Divorce Beach (Carlos joked about which side you’d want to end up on), and I caught this weirdly sweet smell from the appetizers coming around. Shrimp skewers, some kind of spicy salsa that made my nose run a little — not sure what was in it but I kept going back for more. There weren’t too many people onboard (maybe 12?), so everyone sort of relaxed into their own little conversations or just leaned against the rail watching pelicans dive.

At some point I realized I hadn’t checked my phone in over an hour. The sun dipped right behind El Arco and everything went quiet for a second except for someone laughing at the bar. That color on the water — I still think about it sometimes when things get loud back home. So yeah, if you’re thinking about a sunset cruise in Los Cabos Bay, this is probably what you’re hoping for, even if you don’t know it yet.
