Off the golden cliffs of Land’s End and out of the Marina in Cabo San Lucas, Pelican 11—formerly Deck By The Sea—casts off for two hours of easy maritime luxury. This 55-foot catamaran carries up to 45 guests and compresses the best of Cabo’s shoreline into a brief, high-impact experience: Medano Bay’s gentle swells, semi-private swimming beaches, the sculpted granite of El Arco (the Arch), and the jagged silhouettes of Pelican Rock and Neptune’s Finger.
Onboard, the layout favors sociability: lounge seating, sunbeds, a restroom, Bluetooth sound, and a full galley that can host a chef or deliver curated menus and taco bars as add-ons. The basic package serves beer, soft drinks, bottled water, snacks, guacamole, and pico de gallo, while extras range from signature cocktails to premium open-bar packages and multi-course chef menus. For small celebrations, corporate outings, or family gatherings, the vessel’s mix of safety gear—life vests, snorkeling equipment, two SUPs, and a floating mat—lets guests pivot between active snorkeling and effortless lounging.
The itinerary typically threads Medano Bay to a calm anchorage for swimming and snorkeling over reef and sand flats, then eases toward The Arch and Land’s End for classic photo moments. Expect to see colorful reef fish, occasional sea turtles, and, in season, migrating whales. The Arch itself is a granite outcrop that marks the meeting point of the Pacific and the Sea of Cortez; nearby beaches include Lovers Beach, Divorce Beach, and a sea lion colony often basking on offshore rocks.
Practicalities matter: the 2-hour private charter lists a base rate of $3,600 for 31–45 guests (tax and tip extra), with recommended items such as water-resistant sunscreen, a hat, quick-dry clothing, and a waterproof bag. Children under 12 must be supervised, and life jackets are used per crew direction. Pelican Cabo emphasizes respectful behavior around wildlife and follows local regulations—important when whale-watching from December through April.
What makes this trip stand out is the balance between accessibility and personalization: a large, comfortable vessel that still feels intimate because of tailored service, chef options, onboard sound, and a crew ready to adapt the route to conditions. For travelers short on time who want instant access to iconic Cabo scenery and safe, well-appointed marine recreation, Pelican 11 delivers a compact, memorable passage along one of Mexico’s most photogenic coastlines.
Booking through the referral link allows straightforward reservations and clear add-on pricing; expect taxes and a 10% gratuity in addition to listed rates. Arrive at the marina slightly early for a quick briefing, wear reef-safe sunscreen to protect the Sea of Cortez, and bring a dry bag for valuables. For sunset runs, watch the light flatten the Arch and paint the water copper as the captain turns homeward.
