The catamaran slips away from IGY Marina as late afternoon light fattens on the water and the city’s noise thins to a distant hum. On deck, the sea breathes cool and sharp; surfers and fishermen are tiny silhouettes against an ocean that seems to push the horizon toward the sun. As the hull slices through a line of glassy swell, passengers trade chatter for a steady, collective attention—this is the hour when Cabo shows a different face: rock, wind and color.

Bring a light wind layer
Temperatures drop quickly once the sun sets; a windbreaker keeps you comfortable on the open deck.
Arrive early to board
Plan to be at IGY Marina 20–30 minutes before departure to secure preferred seating and avoid last-minute boarding.
Protect your camera gear
Salt spray and low light demand a weather-sealed camera or protective cover and a steady hand for sunset shots.
Consider motion-sickness measures
If you’re sensitive to motion, take medication or use acupressure bands before boarding; the catamaran is stable but open water can still roll.
Light windbreaker or fleece
Keeps you warm and blocks the evening ocean breeze.

summer
Waterproof phone or camera case
