A Private Cabo Catamaran Adventure: 3.5 Hours of Relaxation and Fun
Picture yourself aboard a spacious, well-equipped catamaran in the calm waters of Cabo San Lucas Bay, with up to 20 friends or family sharing the experience. For $1,500, you get almost four hours of cruising, exploring iconic sights like the Arch, Lover’s Beach, and Pelican Rock. Our favorites? The chance to see sea lions lounging nearby and the variety of water toys—snorkels, paddleboards—making it perfect for those who love a blend of sightseeing and active fun.
What really sets this tour apart is the personalized, private experience—your group’s schedule, your pace—and the boat’s thoughtful amenities like a restroom and MP3/iPod port for your playlist. We also appreciated the crew’s friendly attitude, making everyone feel comfortable, from kids to adults. One small consideration? The waters can sometimes be a bit rough, so don’t forget your waterproof sunscreen and a sense of adventure. This tour is ideal if you’re traveling with a group that values flexibility, scenic beauty, and a relaxed vibe.

Scenic Sights and Marine Encounters
The tour’s highlight is undoubtedly the chance to see Cabo’s most famous landmarks. The Arch of Cabo San Lucas is a must-see, and from the water, it feels even more dramatic. You’ll cruise past Lover’s Beach—a secluded strip of sand accessible only by boat—and Pelican Rock, a favored spot for snorkelers. Several reviewers rave about the sea lion colony you can observe up close, which adds a playful, natural touch to the experience.
One traveler, William, mentioned that even with some rough waters, snorkeling was a hit for the kids, and the crew was accommodating. It’s this flexibility that makes the tour so appealing—whether you want to snorkel, sunbathe, or just soak up the scenery, you can do it on your own terms.

The snorkeling near Lover’s Beach allows for glimpses of tropical fish, which adds an element of discovery. The crew’s helpful attitude—especially guiding kids with equipment—adds to the relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere.
Relaxation and Comfort
Another aspect that gets high marks is the comfort of the boat.
