An In-Depth Look at the Los Cabos Private Yacht Tour

Starting Point: Cabo San Lucas Marina

Your adventure kicks off at the marina, often considered one of the most beautiful in Mexico. Here, you’ll meet your crew — typically Luis Martinez or Adam Amezcua — who will be easy to spot by the “No Worries” hats they wear. The marina’s lively atmosphere hints at the fun to come, and from here, your 46-foot yacht will be ready to set sail.

The Journey on the Yacht

In about 25 minutes, you’ll be cruising past the coastline, passing Pelicano Beach and Lover’s Beach, both famous for their stunning views and crystal-clear waters. The yacht’s size and comfort mean you’ll likely be lounging on plush furniture, soaking in the scenery, or simply relaxing with a cold water or beer as your crew navigates the waters smoothly.

Exploring Santa Maria Bay

After the initial cruise, your first big stop is Santa Maria Bay. This tranquil spot is renowned for its clear waters and vibrant marine life, making it perfect for snorkeling or just unwinding on the beach. The tour allows around 75 minutes here, giving you ample time to float over colorful fish, take photos of the striking bay, or lounge on the sand.

One reviewer raved, “We loved the way the boat was set up for relaxing and snorkeling — everything felt personal and unhurried.” It’s a spot that offers both adventure and serenity.

The boat then heads to Pelican Rock, a favorite snorkeling site and landmark. You’ll have about an hour here to snorkel or relax, with floating devices and snorkeling gear provided.
