Pelican 11 cuts through the bright blue of Cabo San Lucas on a private three-hour charter that puts The Arch, Land’s End, and hidden beaches front and center. Departing from the Cabo San Lucas marina in Baja California Sur, Mexico, this 55‑foot catamaran combines ease and a tailored onboard experience for groups of up to 30.

Onboard comforts set Pelican 11 apart: broad sunbeds, lounge seating, a full galley, Bluetooth sound, snorkeling gear, two SUPs, and a floating mat. The crew can host a private sunset cruise or arrange a chef to use the full kitchen; packaged snacks, beers, soft drinks, and bottled water are included in the basic rate. Upgrades range from taco bars and multi-course menus to signature cocktails and premium open bars.

The itinerary moves with the tide. Navigate Medano Bay, drop anchor on a semi-private beach for snorkel and swim time, then paddleboard or float while the catamaran rests in calm water. Later the captain threads the channel toward El Arco de Cabo San Lucas—The Arch—an unmistakable granite rock formation at Land’s End where Pacific meets Sea of Cortez. You’ll cruise past Pelican Rock, Neptune’s Finger, Lovers Beach, the Sea Lion Colony and Divorce Beach; each stop reveals different geology from sculpted sea cliffs to smooth granite outcrops and pockets of sandy shore.

Marine life is a highlight. In season (December–April) humpbacks and gray whales may breach; year-round you can expect colorful reef fish, rays, and the playful sea lions that haul out on the rocks. Snorkel spots offer clear water and rock-and-sand bottom habitat favored by sea turtles and shoals of angelfish.

Why book Pelican 11? The private charter format turns a classic Cabo sightseeing run into a customizable ocean picnic—perfect for celebrations, family outings, or small corporate events. The vessel’s size balances stability for swimmers with nimbleness to access quieter coves that larger tour boats can’t reach. The crew’s local knowledge sharpens every moment, from where the fish congregate to the best angle for an Arch photo.

Practical notes: the three-hour duration is ideal for half-day plans; bring reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, a swimsuit, and a waterproof bag. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Respect marine regulations and the crew’s safety briefings to protect wildlife and preserve these dramatic coastal formations. For travelers staying in Cabo San Lucas, this charter is an effortless way to experience the marine heart of Los Cabos with a luxurious, local touch.

Booking is straightforward through the provided referral link; peak season fills quickly, so reserve early for sunset slots. Meals and bar upgrades are optional, and customizable group layouts make Pelican 11 popular for engagement sails, birthday gatherings, or team outings wanting privacy and comfort.
