Sip a margarita as the marina thins and the granite towers of Land’s End come into view; this is what a private charter from Cabo feels like. Launch from Cabo San Lucas Marina, Dock N, in front of Baja Cantina Restaurant. The four-hour Pelican 17 rental, listed as "4 Hour Rental - 16-30 Guests," converts a short stretch of Baja California Sur coastline into a floating living room: Bluetooth sound, plunge pools, two SUP boards, a floating mat, full snorkel kit, and a spread of Mexican snacks and chilled beer. The meeting point is Cabo San Lucas Marina, Dock N, in front of Baja Cantina Restaurant. The marina address is Blvd. Paseo de la Marina, Centro, 23450 Cabo San Lucas, B.C.S., Mexico.
From the moment the engine slips away from the dock you’ll move through postcard geography. El Arco and the granite spires at Land’s End catch the light in sharp relief; Pelican Rock, a nearshore reef, hosts compact schools of tropical fish, angelfish, and seasonal manta-rays. California sea lions crowd rocky ledges and pose for close-up views. Offshore, the Sea of Cortez—rich in nutrients and dubbed the “world’s aquarium” by Jacques Cousteau—supports the clear water that makes snorkeling here a highlight. Winter brings migrating whales to the horizon; late winter and spring increase the chance of breeches and blows.
This charter balances celebration and activity. The included package supplies bottled water, soft drinks, Mexican beer, margaritas, crudités, quesadillas, guacamole, homemade chips, and pico de gallo. Upgrades include a chef-run taco bar or full onboard menu, plus extended open-bar options with signature cocktails or premium spirits. Two small plunge pools on deck provide a private cooldown without needing to re-enter the ocean, while SUP boards and snorkel gear let you craft your own shore-to-reef adventure.
Why choose this trip? For groups who want to combine Baja’s dramatic seascape with food-forward hospitality and flexible pace, it is hard to beat. A private yacht gives you access to intimate viewpoints—Lover’s Beach, the arch, and quiet coves—without the crowds of larger tour boats. The meeting location keeps you close to downtown Cabo’s restaurants and nightlife, so the excursion fits neatly into any itinerary. Practical details matter: capacity suits 16–30 guests, and the operator lists Private Charter | Starting at $5,750 USD as the baseline rate. Bring sun protection, a sense of humor, and a camera; the coastline delivers scenes worth keeping.
Groups often customize itineraries with swim stops near Lover’s Beach, photo runs around the arch, or a slow cruise under late-afternoon light for sunset cocktails; discuss chef and bar upgrades when you book to match your event. Crew briefings cover safety and local etiquette before departure. Reservations fill quickly during peak season.
