Details

Cabo San Lucas, located at the southern tip of Baja California Sur, Mexico, is a rugged marine playground where desert meets the sea. Pelican Cabo stands out in this iconic coastal city by offering private charters aboard sleek vessels like the Pelican 11 and Pelican X, creating personalized ocean experiences that blend adventure with comfort. These day and sunset cruises deliver a memorable vantage point on Cabo’s dramatic shorelines, including the famed El Arco rock formation—a soaring granite arch where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez.

The boarded Pelican boats are more than just watercraft; they function as floating lounges equipped with premium amenities, from spacious decks perfect for soaking in the sun to water toys that invite guests to swim in the crystalline ocean. Whether anchored near scenic coves or cruising along the coast, the Pelican Cabo crew provides top-tier hospitality, highlighted by fresh, well-curated food and drink offerings alongside attentive and safety-conscious service.

Guests frequently praise the professionalism and knowledge of the crew, who elevate each outing with local expertise and personalized attention. The ability to snorkel, swim, and paddleboard directly from the boat adds an energetic element to the experience, enriching any trip with a direct connection to marine life and the vibrant underwater world.

Pelican Cabo’s tours make a strong impact on the local tourism scene by offering both intimate private charters and group-oriented sunset dinners, blending adventure with a touch of refinement. The company captures the essence of Cabo’s wild ocean terrain while providing a deluxe setting for making lasting memories, whether for families, groups, or solo travelers seeking a break from the ordinary. For visitors aiming to witness Baja’s marine beauty with a balance of thrill and ease, Pelican Cabo is a reliable, standout choice.
