Mexican Buffet, Live Music

Sunset Mexican Dinner Cruise and Live Music in Cabo San Lucas.

Overview

The Caborey dinner cruise runs about two and a half hours out of the Cabo San Lucas marina, with an open domestic bar, an all-you-can-eat Mexican fajita dinner, and a live band backed by a DJ. Families come along, and the listing notes the boat is wheelchair and pushchair accessible.

The shape of the evening, based on what travellers report, goes like this. Boarding starts after check-in near the marina, with drinks flowing early and the first stretch of the trip given over to the open bar and the views. Dinner is served on board, and the band plays in sets, with a break between them, before the boat returns to the marina.

It suits couples, groups of friends, and parents with young children who want a festive, crowd-friendly evening rather than a gourmet meal. Reviewers are consistent that the drinks and music are the main draw, with food described as good rather than exceptional.

What To Expect From The Tour

• Bring cash. There is a dock use tax of US$2.00 per person for the Bay of Cabo San Lucas, and tips are not included. One reviewer advises having cash on hand for the dock fee and tips.
• Drinks are mild. Multiple reviewers describe the included drinks as watered down or not strong. The bar is domestic brands, and service is frequent, with staff keeping glasses full.
• Group feel. Anyone wanting a quiet or romantic cruise should look elsewhere.
• Food expectations. The dinner is all-you-can-eat fajitas with rice, beans, salads, guacamole, chips, and salsa. Reviewers mostly call the food good, with a few saying it is more about drinks and music than dining.
• Finding the boat. Hotel pickup is not included, so travellers make their own way to the marina. Check-in is behind the businesses at the end of the marina, according to one reviewer, and the listing gives the address plus the note to enter CABOREY in Google Maps.
• Photos on offer. Sunset and the Arch are the main photo moments, so keep a camera or phone handy.

Common issues. The tour requires good weather, and the listing states it can be cancelled for poor conditions with a different date or a full refund offered. The band plays in sets rather than continuously.
