Shared Sunset Sailing

Cabo San Lucas Sunset Sailing Shared Cruise.

Overview

This is a two-hour shared sail out of Cabo San Lucas Marina, run by Cabo Sailing Ocean Adventures, with a maximum of 14 travellers on board. You make your own way to F Dock at the IGY marina, downtown, about 50 meters past Lorenzillo's restaurant, and the operator asks that you arrive at the dock 20 minutes before departure. National Park fees are covered in the price, and once underway the boat works its way along the Land's End rock formations.

The route takes in the Arch of Cabo San Lucas, the sea lion colony, Lover's Beach and the Pacific coast of Baja, with short stops or pass-bys at Medano Beach as well. Reviewers often mention whales and sea lions as an unexpected highlight, and the listing notes sightseeing at the Arch lasts 15 minutes with free admission. Sunset views over the water come up repeatedly too.

Food and drink flow through the trip. The open bar covers beer, wine and soft drinks, with several reviewers reporting cocktails and tequila as well, and snacks typically arrive as chips with salsa and guacamole followed by a platter of meats, cheeses and bread. It suits couples and small parties; review groups ranged from a girls trip of three to pairs who booked on the day. Children must come with an adult, and the trip is not wheelchair accessible.

What To Expect From The Tour

• Getting there. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport to F Dock at the IGY marina. The meeting point is about 50 meters ahead of Lorenzillo's restaurant. Allow 20 minutes before departure for check-in.
• What's served. Bottled water, snacks and unlimited beer, wine and soft drinks are included, and National Park fees are covered. Reviewers describe chips with salsa and guacamole followed by meats, cheeses and bread, and several mention cocktails beyond the listed drinks. Tell the operator about dietary needs at booking; a vegetarian option exists if requested in advance.
• Bring a layer. Several reviewers say the ride back into the harbour gets chilly after sunset. One noted the crew handed out blankets, but bringing a light jacket or layer is the safer bet. That matches the general advice to dress for evening conditions on the water.
• Group feel. The cap is 14 travellers, and reviewers frequently sailed with fewer, one group of eight finding it roomy. Crews are repeatedly described as attentive, professional and fun, with several reviewers naming them as the highlight. Booking on the day is sometimes possible, as one pair who did so found themselves alone on board.
• Wildlife luck. Whale and sea lion sightings come up again and again in reviews, and one group even saw the Green Flash at sunset. These are wild animals, so nothing is promised.
• Seas and comfort. One reviewer's mother became seasick on board and the crew cared for her well, so anyone prone to motion sickness should plan accordingly. Most travellers can participate, per the listing.

Common issues. There are honest limits. The tour is not wheelchair accessible, hotel transport is excluded, and gratuities are not included. Weather can affect the run: the operator requires good conditions and will offer a different date or a full refund if it cancels. Changes and cancellations inside 24 hours of the start time get no refund, so plan around that cut-off.
