Imagine sailing along the shimmering waters of Cabo San Lucas aboard a private 34-foot Bayliner yacht—a vessel with all the comforts you need for a relaxed, intimate day on the water. For about four hours, up to eight guests can enjoy a tailored experience that combines sightseeing, swimming, snorkeling, and pure leisure, away from the crowds and hustle of larger tour boats. The cost is around $973, which, when split among your group, makes for a surprisingly good value considering the exclusivity and personalized service.
What makes this experience particularly appealing are two key features: the privacy it offers for couples, families, or friends seeking a tranquil escape, and the luxury touches like cold drinks, snacks, and a comfortable setup that make you feel pampered from start to finish. Plus, the chance to see iconic landmarks like the Arch and rock formations up close offers a memorable backdrop for your day.
One potential consideration is that this tour does not include food or drinks, so bringing your own provisions is recommended if you want a full feast. This makes it ideal for those who prefer picnic-style meals or want to avoid extra costs on board.
This private yacht tour suits travelers who value comfort and exclusivity, and who are eager to experience Cabo’s natural beauty at their own pace. It’s especially perfect for small groups or couples celebrating a special occasion or simply seeking a peaceful day on the water.

Setting the Scene: A Tailored, Upscale Experience
When we first picture sailing in Cabo, most of us imagine crowded boats, loud music, and a lot of noise. This tour, however, offers a stark contrast: a completely private yacht designed for relaxed, upscale enjoyment. The vessel itself is a 34-foot Bayliner, which strikes a perfect balance—not too large to feel impersonal, but spacious enough to comfortably host up to eight guests. The experience is crafted to feel like an escape for your group alone, providing privacy that big tour boats simply can’t match.
Starting at the Gregory Tours marina, you’ll meet your crew and settle into this cozy vessel. The price of roughly $973 for a group of up to eight means that when split, it’s quite reasonable for such an exclusive outing. You’re paying for comfort, privacy, and the freedom to set your own pace—whether that’s lounging in the sun, snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, or simply soaking in the views of the iconic Cabo coastline.
The Itinerary: What You Can Expect
The 4-hour voyage promises a blend of scenic sightseeing and active options. As you set sail, the first highlight is the panoramic views of the Arch—that unmistakable granite formation that’s the symbol of Cabo. You’ll also pass by Playa del Amor and the impressive array of rock formations that define the bay’s unique landscape. The captain or guide will likely point out these landmarks, making the experience both visual and educational.
One of the best features of this tour is the flexibility to stop for swimming or snorkeling. The boat is equipped with snorkeling gear, so you can dive into the clear waters, explore marine life, or just float on the provided floating mat. The aquatic carpet adds a touch of luxury, allowing you to lounge comfortably in the sea. When you’re ready to dry off, you can relax on deck in the shade areas or work on your sun tan in the bow area, which offers a perfect spot for soaking up the sunshine.
Onboard, you’ll find a cabin with a bed and a bathroom, adding a level of comfort that is often missing from typical boat tours. Cold drinks and snacks are also part of the package, ensuring you stay refreshed without needing to bring anything extra (though you can, if you prefer). The availability of a paddleboard adds to the active options, ideal for those who want to paddle around or just enjoy the calm waters at their leisure.
Why We Love This Tour
What truly makes this experience stand out is the personalized service and the chance to enjoy Cabo without the noise and chaos of larger groups. The small group size keeps things intimate and allows for a more tailored experience—whether you want to focus on sightseeing, swimming, or simply relaxing with a cool drink.
Another aspect we appreciate is the luxury ambiance: the shaded areas, the cabin, and the bathroom mean you’re not just out on a boat but comfortable and cared for. And the views—oh, the views! Seeing Cabo’s iconic landmarks from the water gives you a different perspective and makes for fantastic photos.
Potential Drawbacks and Considerations
The main consideration is that meals are not included, so you’ll want to bring your own food and drinks if you desire a full picnic or a special celebration on board. This can be a plus or minus depending on your preferences; some travelers love customizing their onboard experience, while others prefer an all-inclusive option.
Also, the cost might seem high compared to larger group tours, but when you factor in the exclusivity, comfort, and flexibility, it offers excellent value for those looking for a more high-end experience.
