Tropicat Jazz And Wine

Sunset Cruise in Los Cabos with Jazz and Wine.

Overview

This is a two-hour catamaran cruise out of Cabo San Lucas built around three simple pleasures: music and wine as the sun goes down, an open bar, and time on the water. Pez Gato runs the boat, boarding from a check-in desk at Gali Plaza on the marina. Reviewers describe the atmosphere as relaxed, with attentive crew and music setting the tone for the evening.

Drinks flow the whole way. The bar covers beer, wine, premium liquor brands and soft drinks without a limit. Food is a grazing spread rather than a meal: a gourmet meat and cheese table, crudites with hummus, crackers and baguette, and fruit brochettes with fresh grapes, so it works best as a hearty snack rather than dinner.

The mood is laid-back. Reviewers repeatedly call the experience relaxing, fun and well organized, with an attentive crew and generous, high quality drinks. Hotel pickup and drop-off are part of the package, and the minimum drinking age on board is 18.

What To Expect From The Tour

• What to wear. The listing recommends a light sweater or jacket, and reminds passengers to bring a camera. Souvenir photos are available to purchase on board if you prefer to leave the pictures to the crew.
• Food and drink. The open bar includes beer, wine, premium liquor brands and soft drinks, and reviewers describe the drinks as generous. The food is a snack spread of meats, cheeses, crudites, hummus, bread and fruit, not a full meal, so plan dinner accordingly.
• Music and mood. The tour is billed as a jazz and wine cruise, and reviewers describe the music as relaxing and well chosen. One reviewer mentioned a mix of jazzy tracks, oldies and classic Motown from the speakers. The general tone reviewers describe is laid-back rather than a party.
• Timing and check-in. The cruise departs at 17:00 and the listing asks passengers to be at the dock at least 20 minutes early. Hotel pickup is included, but watch for pickup time messages, since one traveller reported a late change that caused a scramble.
• Wildlife sightings. Several reviewers reported whales near the boat, plus a stingray and even a fish the crew let a passenger reel in.
• Sailing expectations. One reviewer complained that the sails never went up and the boat motored the whole way. There is no guarantee of sailing, so book this for the cruise, the bar and the sunset rather than for a sailing experience.

Common issues. A few honest caveats come up. One reviewer was disappointed that the catamaran motored rather than sailed. Souvenir photos are available to purchase on board but are not included. A single reviewer had a rough experience with last-minute pickup changes through the transport partner, so confirm pickup details ahead of time. The listing also notes the boat is not wheelchair accessible, and weather can lead to cancellation, in which case a different date or a full refund is offered.
