Fajitas, Lands End Party

Cabo Sunset Dinner Cruise: Fajitas, Lands End and Party.

Overview

The Cabo Escape, a two-floor vessel that runs about 100 feet, leaves from Dock 0 in the Cabo San Lucas marina, across from the Breathless Hotel, for a two-and-a-half-hour trip built around fajitas, an open domestic bar, and a party. The boat sails out to Lands End, where it rides around the Arch of Cabo San Lucas. As the light goes, the upper deck turns into the loud, dance-heavy part of the boat.

The food is an all-you-can-eat Mexican buffet with a full domestic open bar included in the fare. Gratuities and hotel transfers are not included, and there is a dock fee paid in cash at check-in. The boat carries up to 120 travellers.

This suits travellers who want a lively, social cruise with drinks and scenery rather than a quiet dinner sail. Reviewers repeatedly describe it as a booze cruise or party cruise, with several naming the sunset and the Arch as the highlights. Anyone expecting a seated dinner service should adjust expectations before booking.

What To Expect From The Tour

• Know the vibe. Reviewers consistently call this a party cruise rather than a dinner cruise.
• Food and drink. The fajita buffet and domestic open bar are included, but several travellers rated the food as okay or passable rather than exceptional. Go for the atmosphere and the views, and treat the buffet as fuel rather than the main event.
• Seating and crowds. The boat takes up to 120 travellers, and one reviewer described the ride as packed.
• Head to the top deck. One reviewer said the top deck is the place to be for views of the Arch and photo opportunities as the boat sails out, and another mentioned that the crew takes pictures of guests that you can buy afterward, at a cost of 28 US dollars for two prints.
• Dress and logistics. The dress code is casual. There is no hotel pickup, so plan your own transport to Dock 0 in the marina, and bring cash for the dock fee at check-in. Cruise ship passengers must supply ship name, docking time, disembarkation time and re-boarding time when booking.
• Timing and weather. Some travellers were moved to a later departure and sailed after dark, so double-check your departure time with the operator before you go. The trip requires good weather; if it is cancelled for poor conditions, you are offered a different date or a full refund.

Common issues. The biggest complaints are logistical: one reviewer was switched to a later departure and another reported being put on the wrong boat, in some cases sailing after dark with no sunset visible. One reviewer found the crew more interested in the music than pointing out whales. The vessel is not wheelchair accessible, infants must sit on laps, the dock fee is paid in cash, and gratuities are extra. Confirming the exact start time and boat with the operator before arrival is wise, since booking times and actual departures have not always matched in travellers' accounts.
