Luxury Private Sunset Sailing from San José del Cabo: Estuary Views, Whales & Open Bar
Select participants and date
The marina slips away in the wake and the Bay of San José opens like a private theater. On a 50-foot Beneteau, guests sink into bow cushions as the crew trims sails and the Sea of Cortez pulls the light of late afternoon along the hull. Gulls wheel above the estuary while the channel narrows into a ribbon of reflected sky—this is a sunset that refuses to be hurried.

Adventure Tips
Confirm hotel pickup
Provide your hotel name after booking—pickup is scheduled in an air‑conditioned vehicle about 45 minutes before departure.
Dress in layers
Even warm days cool quickly on the water; bring a windbreaker and a light fleece for sunset and blue hour.
Bring a charged camera
Golden hour and potential whale breaches make for once‑in‑a‑trip photos—pack extra batteries or a power bank.
Respect the estuary
Avoid tossing food or plastic into the water; the estuary is a protected bird nursery and sensitive to disturbance.
