Private Yacht, Dinner, 3 Hours

Private Cabo Sunset Yacht Tour: Dinner, Drinks & Arch 1-20 ppl.

Overview

This is a three-hour private yacht charter out of Cabo San Lucas Marina, run by Cabo Boat Adventures, for groups of one to twenty people. Only your party is on board.

Dinner on the trip covers ceviche, steak or chicken fajitas, chips, guacamole and salsa. Drinks run to margaritas, beer, tequila, soda and water, with a Bluetooth sound system so the group can play its own music. Some reviewers on this exact trip have described wildlife encounters, including whales, seals and turtles, though one group travelling early in the season saw none, so sightings depend on timing and luck.

The charter suits bachelorette groups, birthday celebrations and families with children; several reviewers said the crew took extra care to keep kids safe and happy, on the boat and in the water. Keep in mind the departure time shifts with the seasons, from 3pm between November and March to 5pm from April through October, and no hotel transportation is provided.

What To Expect From The Tour

• Getting there. Transportation to the marina is not included, and the listing notes that many hotels do not allow outside pickup because they sell their own tours. Plan to arrive at IGY Marina Dock C, in front of Luxury Avenue and Puerto Paraiso Mall, and wait at the gate for the captains.
• Seasonal start time. Departure is 3pm from November through March and 5pm from April through October. Build a little slack into the day around the reserved slot so the group is not rushed getting to the dock.
• Food and drink. Dinner means ceviche, steak or chicken fajitas, chips, guacamole and salsa, plus margaritas, beer, tequila, soda and water. Most reviewers praise the food, though one group found portions tight for everyone to get a full serving. Alcohol is limited to travellers 18 and over.
• Group size and space. The listing takes up to twenty people, but one reviewer with four found the boat comfortable and would not take more than eight on that particular yacht. Since the operator runs a fleet, ask when booking which boat you will get if your group is large.
• Pace and fitness. The listing asks for a moderate level of physical fitness and says the trip is not recommended for travellers with back problems or pregnancy. Snorkelling, the paddle board and the floating mat are all optional, so the trip works for groups who prefer to cruise and eat rather than swim.
• Music and extras. There is a Bluetooth system on board, and reviewers say the crew connected their phones and played their own music. Gratuities are not included in the price.

Common issues. The boat is not wheelchair accessible, infants must sit on laps, and the listing rules out the trip for travellers with serious heart conditions. One reviewer felt the food quantity fell short for the whole group and that promised appetizers never appeared, so portion expectations vary. Weather matters too: the operator requires good conditions and will offer a different date or a full refund if the trip is cancelled for poor weather. No hotel transportation is provided.
