The marina slips away and the city noise thins as the yacht slips into the bright basin of Cabo San Lucas. Salt sparks on the rail, and the Arch stacks into view—granite cliffs meeting the Pacific with a clean, emphatic break. Sea lions bark from sun-warmed rocks; gulls quarter the wake. Onboard, guests trade city heat for cool spray, tapas, and an international open bar while crew prepare snorkel gear and paddleboards.
