Snorkeling in Cabo San Lucas on a 35′ Sea Amore Trimaran: An Authentic Marine Adventure
When it comes to memorable water adventures in Cabo San Lucas, few options can match the blend of comfort, scenery, and fun offered by a private 3-hour snorkeling trip aboard a 35′ Sea Amore Trimaran. For around $990 per group (up to six people), you can enjoy a personalized cruise that takes you to the famed Pelican Rock in the Cabo San Lucas Bay Marine Park, with plenty of opportunities to snorkel, relax, and indulge in excellent Mexican food and drinks. The trip is designed to be flexible—whether you want to spend your time floating with the fish or soaking up the scenery while cruising past iconic landmarks like Lands End, Lovers Beach, and the famous El Arco.
Two things we love about this experience are the attentive service from guides like Roberto and Juan, whose knowledge and friendliness make the trip feel like a day out with friends, and the quality of the included premium open bar—it’s not just about drinking but about enjoying top-shelf spirits like Don Julio tequila and fine wines while taking in some of the best views Cabo has to offer. A possible downside? Since the tour is limited to six guests, it might not suit those who prefer larger groups or more communal experiences, but for those seeking intimacy and personalized service, this is a real plus.
This tour suits travelers who appreciate a well-rounded experience—combining snorkeling, sightseeing, and relaxing with good food and drink. It’s perfect for families, couples, or small groups wanting a safe, fun, and scenic way to enjoy Cabo’s marine beauty without the crowds or chaos of larger boats.

At its core, the journey revolves around Pelican Rock, a well-known snorkeling site within the Cabo San Lucas Bay, part of the Marine Park. The water here is often calm, making it ideal for snorkelers of all levels, and the chances of seeing colorful fish, sea stars, and perhaps even a curious sea turtle make it worthwhile. The included snorkeling equipment for guests 7+ makes this accessible, while a life vest ensures safety for everyone 3+.
What truly elevates this trip are the landmarks visible from the boat—Lands End’s rocky spires, Lovers Beach’s serene shoreline, and the iconic El Arco—all of which you can soak in during your cruise either before or after your snorkel adventure. Many reviews praise the guides for their detailed commentary, helping you understand what you’re seeing. One reviewer mentioned how Roberto and Juan were “absolutely incredible and very informative,” adding a layer of appreciation for the scenery.
The food and drink are another highlight. The Mexican combo platter, fresh fruit, and vegetables are well-prepared, making it a delightful complement to your day. The premium open bar offers a wide selection—think top-shelf spirits, wines, beers, and soft drinks—so you can toast to the spectacular scenery or just enjoy the relaxed atmosphere.

Itinerary Breakdown: What to Expect
Your adventure begins at Cabo Sails’ marina, where you’ll check in for your private trip. With most travelers booking 16 days in advance, making an early reservation guarantees your spot. Once aboard, you’ll cruise toward Pelican Rock, enjoying the scenic views of the bay and coastline. The boat’s luxurious yet relaxed atmosphere invites you to sit back, sip a drink, and marvel at the sights.
The snorkeling portion lasts as long as you like—most people find plenty to explore in the calm, clear waters. The guided crew offers tips and assistance, making it accessible even for first-timers. After snorkeling, you can lounge on the deck, continue cruising past landmarks, or hop on a paddleboard for a quick paddle around the bay.
At the midway point, the crew will serve the Mexican food platter, with fresh fruit and vegetables. Throughout the trip, your premium open bar is at your disposal, with a variety of spirits and wines. Some reviews highlight the crew’s attentiveness—they’re quick to bring more drinks or food and are eager to make your trip enjoyable.
The tour concludes back at the marina, leaving you with lasting memories of Cabo’s stunning coastline, vibrant marine life, and the camaraderie of a small, friendly group.
Authenticity and Value
What sets this tour apart is its personalized nature. Unlike larger, busier excursions, this private charter allows you to customize your experience—whether that’s spending more time snorkeling, relaxing on the water mat, or just taking in the scenery with a drink in hand. The high praise from reviewers about guides like Roberto, Juan, Luis, and Gustavo suggests a crew dedicated to providing engaging, attentive service.
In terms of value, the all-inclusive food and drink, equipment, and the private setting make this trip a good bargain compared to larger, less personalized tours. The inclusion of paddleboards and a fun large water mat adds a playful element that many other trips don’t offer. On top of that, the flexibility to snorkel or cruise gives you control over your day—something many travelers find appealing.
What to Keep in Mind
One thing to consider is the group size—this is strictly limited to six guests, which might be too intimate or restrictive for some. Also, booking well in advance is recommended since most trips are booked about two weeks ahead, especially in peak season. Weather can influence the trip’s schedule, but Cabo Sails offers full refunds or rescheduling if the weather turns poor.
