Los Cabos Catamaran: Iconic Sunset Cruise with Drinks & DJ
Imagine gliding across the Sea of Cortez in a lively, upbeat atmosphere as the sun dips below the horizon. This 2-hour sunset cruise from Cabo San Lucas costs around $75 per person and offers an authentic party atmosphere with live music, an open bar, and stunning views of iconic landmarks like The Arch, Lovers Beach, and Pelican Rock. Led by an engaging crew, this experience promises a mix of relaxation, fun, and picturesque scenery that makes it a standout for those looking to combine sightseeing with celebration.
One of the things we love is the vibrant energy onboard, thanks to the DJ and the lively crew who really know how to keep the mood upbeat. Plus, the unique Lily Pad floating mat is a clever addition, giving you a chance to chill in the water and enjoy the sunset from a different perspective. Another highlight is the open bar, which features a wide range of drinks — from tequila and vodka to beer and soft drinks — allowing everyone to sip their favorites while soaking in the views.
A possible consideration is that this cruise is designed for adults — it’s an energetic party scene, so if you’re traveling with children or seeking a quiet, romantic sunset, this might not be the best choice. Also, the $75 price includes most amenities but does not cover the dock fee or tips, which can add a little extra to your total.
This tour suits travelers who want to combine sightseeing with lively entertainment — perfect for groups of friends, couples wanting a fun night out, or those celebrating special occasions. If your idea of a perfect sunset involves dancing, drinks, and great company, this cruise is worth considering.
