Private Yacht Cruise Cabo San Lucas: Arch, Snorkel, Open Bar

Cruise past the Arch on your own yacht as the sun sets over the Pacific.

A private yacht cruise in Cabo San Lucas for groups of 1 to 20 people, departing at sunset to cruise past the iconic Arch, Lover's Beach and rock formations while you snorkel, eat and drink from an open bar. The captain and crew handle navigation; you handle the celebration. Three hours on the water, no shared boat, no waiting for strangers to board.

Step-by-step itinerary

Private yacht cruise and sightseeing

• Cruise past the Arch of Cabo San Lucas
• View Lover’s Beach and rock formations
• Relax on the yacht with food and drinks
• Enjoy sunset over the Pacific Ocean

The Experience

The boat leaves from Cabo San Lucas harbor and heads straight for the Arch—the natural rock formation that defines the coastline where the Pacific meets the Sea of Cortez. You cruise along the water at the pace that suits your group, passing Lover's Beach and the dramatic rock formations as the light changes. A paddle board floats behind the yacht if anyone wants to get in the water; snorkeling gear is on board and ready. The captain and crew manage everything else.

Food arrives as you settle in: ceviche, chips with guacamole, steak and chicken fajitas. The bar runs the whole time—margaritas, beer, tequila, soda and water, all unlimited. A Bluetooth system plays whatever music your group wants. The floating lily pad (a tethered mat) gives you another way to sit on the water if you choose it. Three hours is long enough to watch the sky change color without the day feeling rushed.

You pick the yacht size that fits your group: the Blue Crew holds up to 12 people; the Baby Jax comes in three sizes for groups of 14, 15 to 18, or 19 to 20. Private transportation to the boat is available as an add-on at checkout if you need it; otherwise, public transit reaches the harbor. The boat is wheelchair accessible, and infants can come along (they sit on an adult's lap). The crew speaks English and Spanish.

Is this one for you?Book the Blue Crew if your group is under 12 and you want the most intimate setting; choose the Baby Jax sizes for larger celebrations where the extra deck space matters. Private transportation is worth adding if you're traveling with luggage or children and want to skip the logistics of reaching the harbor yourself.
