Snorkel And Sunset, 42-Foot Yacht

Luxury 42' Yacht Tour in Cabo for Snorkeling and Sunset.

Overview

This is a three-hour private charter on a 42-foot yacht operated by Cabo Sailing Ocean Adventures, built around two things: time in the water and the sail back as the sun goes down. Only your group is on board. One traveller wrote that having the boat to yourself is what keeps bringing them back every time they visit Cabo.

The day runs from F Dock at the IGY marina in downtown Cabo San Lucas, where the crew asks everyone to arrive 20 minutes before departure. One recent guest reported seeing whales on their trip. Food and drink are included throughout: a premium bar for guests 18 and over, sodas, bottled water, and a lunch of chips, salsa, guacamole, sandwiches, fruit and dessert, with a Mexican option of burritos and quesadillas available if you contact the operator after booking.

One reviewer found the three hours passed quickly and wished they had booked longer, which is worth remembering when planning. Gratuities are not included.

What To Expect From The Tour

• Getting to the dock. There are several marinas in Cabo San Lucas, so check you have the right one before you set out. This operator departs from F Dock at the IGY marina, downtown, about 50 meters ahead of Lorenzillo's restaurant. The marina sits near public transportation.
• Book the Mexican menu. The standard lunch is chips, salsa, guacamole, sandwiches, fruit and dessert. If you would prefer burritos and quesadillas, contact the operator after booking to switch, since the menu can be changed on request.
• Pace and fitness. The listing states that most travellers can participate. Snorkelling and the paddle board are optional, so the trip can be as active or as restful as your group wants. Guests with a physical disability need a family member along to assist them.
• What to bring. Towels and wet suits are provided, along with all snorkelling gear, so swimwear and sun protection are the main things to pack. Alcoholic drinks from the premium bar are limited to guests 18 and over.
• Timing feels short. One traveller said three hours passed quickly and wrote that they would book a longer trip next time. If your group wants more swimming or whale watching, consider that the duration is fixed at three hours on this product.
• Weather dependence. The experience requires good weather. If it is cancelled for poor conditions, the operator offers a different date or a full refund rather than leaving you out of pocket.

Common issues. The boat is not wheelchair accessible, and guests with a physical disability need a family member to assist them, though pushchairs can be brought on board. Gratuities are not included, so budget for a tip for the crew. Weather can force a cancellation, in which case you are offered a rebooking or a full refund. One reviewer found three hours too short for everything they wanted to do, a fair caution if your group hopes to combine long snorkelling with sunset viewing.
