A low-slung catamaran slips from the marina, the Pacific pressing cool air across your face as Cabo’s rocky spine recedes. In two hours aboard Pez Gato you’ll cross a patchwork of deep blue where migrating whales gather each winter; foam and wind push the boat forward and the captain eases into places where spouts and rolls become the main event.
