Welcome aboard

A day on the water, planned around your group

Yacht Charter Cabo arranges private yacht charters in Cabo San Lucas, from an easygoing family swim day to an elegant sunset dinner or a full day offshore chasing marlin.

Cabo sits where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez, so the famous rock arch of El Arco and the cliffs of Land's End are only a short cruise from the marina. Sheltered bays such as Santa María and Chileno are popular for swimming and snorkeling when conditions allow.

Tell us your date, group size and the kind of day you want. We'll suggest yachts that fit and confirm availability, what's included and the price for your date. Rates aren't listed online because they change with the yacht, season and charter length.

  • Luxury motor yachts, catamarans, sailing yachts and sportfishing boats
  • Itineraries planned with your captain around your interests and the day's sea conditions
  • Help with celebrations, from birthday decorations to wedding cruises

Families & friends

Relaxed, family-friendly days on the water

A private charter keeps your group together on its own schedule, with shade, a restroom on most boats and a crew to help everyone in and out of the water. Many families plan a short cruise past El Arco followed by a swim stop in a calm bay.

  • Tell us the ages of your youngest guests so we can suggest a suitable boat and check child-size life jackets
  • Catamarans are especially stable and roomy, and some list kayaks, paddleboards and floating mats
  • Morning trips are often calmer, and shorter charters suit little ones

Questions & answers

Cabo yacht charter questions, answered

The essentials most guests ask about before booking a private charter in Cabo San Lucas.

What kinds of private charters can I book in Cabo San Lucas?

You can choose from luxury motor yachts and superyachts (27 to 130 feet), sailing and power catamarans, trimarans, classic sailing yachts and dedicated sportfishing boats. Browse the yacht fleet, the catamaran charters and the fishing charters to compare options.

How much does a yacht charter in Cabo cost?

Prices are not published because they depend on the yacht, the date, the season, the length of the charter and any extras such as catering or decorations. Send us your date, group size and preferred duration and we will reply with a quote for the boats that suit you.

How many people can join a charter?

It depends on the boat. Smaller yachts suit couples and small families, many mid-size yachts host up to 12 to 20 guests, and the largest yachts and event boats on our pages host from 30 up to 200 people. The listed capacity is a maximum, so choose a little extra space for a more comfortable day.

How long is a typical yacht charter?

Common choices are a two-hour sunset cruise, a three- to four-hour sightseeing and snorkeling trip, or a half-day or full-day charter. Minimum hours vary by boat; for example, one of our fishing boats requires six hours for fishing but three for a cruise.

Where do charters leave from?

Boarding details depend on the yacht you choose and are confirmed in writing with your booking, so you know exactly where and when to meet the crew. Our listed address is on Av. Lázaro Cárdenas in Cabo San Lucas.

Are yacht charters suitable for families with young children?

Yes, many families charter a private boat in Cabo. Let us know the ages of your children so we can suggest a boat with shade and easy swim access and confirm child-size life jackets. Some catamarans list kids' activities and even a portable crib.

Is a captain and crew included?

Yes. The yachts and boats we arrange come with a captain, and larger yachts carry additional crew such as a first mate, servers or a chef. The exact crew depends on the boat and is shown in your quote.

Can we go swimming and snorkeling during the charter?

Most charters can include a swim or snorkel stop in a sheltered bay such as Santa María or Chileno. The captain decides where and when it is safe to swim based on the day's wind, swell and visibility.

Are food and drinks included?

It depends on the boat. Some listings include an open bar and a chef-prepared lunch, others include drinks and snacks, and some can arrange catering for an additional cost. Your quote spells out exactly what is included.

When is the best time of year for a yacht charter in Cabo?

Charters run all year. Winter and spring bring mild, sunny days and humpback whale season (roughly mid-December to mid-April), which makes them the busiest months. Summer and early autumn are hotter, with warmer water for swimming, but fall within the eastern Pacific hurricane season, so keep your dates a little flexible. See the safety and weather FAQs for more.

Can you help us celebrate a special occasion on board?

Yes. We regularly plan birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, bachelor and bachelorette parties and corporate events. Decorations, a cake, flowers or a photographer can often be arranged for an additional cost.
