Private 45′ Yacht in Cabo

Exploring Los Cabos on a Private 45′ Yacht

Imagine gliding across the shimmering waters of Baja California Sur, your own luxurious yacht taking you past iconic sights like the Arch of Cabo San Lucas, Lover’s Beach, and even a sea-lion colony. For about $1,540, up to four people can spend three hours on a sleek, modern Sundancer yacht with personalized service, food, and drinks included.

What makes this experience stand out? First, the private setting means you don’t have to share your adventure — it’s just you, your companions, and the sea. Second, the boat’s amenities are top-notch: snorkeling gear, paddleboards, and a cocktail bar. It’s a mix of luxury and fun packed into a short, manageable cruise.

A couple of things to consider: the tour is designed for small groups, which is excellent for intimacy but might feel a bit cramped if you’re used to large, bustling boat trips. Also, transportation to the dock isn’t included, so you’ll need to arrange that separately.

This trip is perfect for travelers craving a personalized, relaxed day on the water—ideal for couples, small families, or friends celebrating a special occasion who want to enjoy the stunning scenery and marine life of Los Cabos with a touch of luxury.

Water Activities at Santa Maria or Chileno Bays

For about two hours, the boat anchors at either Santa Maria or Chileno Bays — both are renowned snorkeling spots. The water here is famously clear, with vibrant marine life just below the surface. The company supplies snorkeling gear suitable for children and adults, fins, and life jackets, so you don’t need to worry about bringing your own.

Many travelers find the snorkeling to be a highlight, noting the chance to see colorful fish and perhaps even rays or small sharks. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can also try the included stand-up paddleboards — an excellent way to get a different perspective of the coastline.

Food and Drink

The cruise includes a light lunch, which might feature fresh fruit, snacks, or light sandwiches, based on typical offerings. Meanwhile, the complementary premium bar features unlimited cocktails, wine, beer, and soft drinks, making for a laid-back, luxurious vibe.

Guests often comment on the quality of the drinks and how relaxing it is to sip a cocktail while watching the waves. The crew keeps glasses filled and the mood lively, but the boat’s size and private nature mean no crowds or noisy party boats here.

Scenic Return and Sunset Views

As the cruise winds down, the boat heads back towards Cabo San Lucas, offering scenic views of the coastline, the setting sun (if timed for late afternoon), and the chance to reflect on your day. The brief return trip is a relaxing way to wrap up the experience, with plenty of photo opportunities along the way.

Practical Details

This tour runs for about 3 hours, with departures in the morning or afternoon. It’s a private group, so you share the boat only with your companions. While the cost might seem high compared to larger group tours, the value lies in the exclusivity, comfort, and tailored experience.
