The engine thumps a steady, ocean-heartbeat as the catamaran slides out of Cabo San Lucas Marina, the city’s roofs receding and the Pacific unrolling blue and bright. Onboard, laughter mixes with the hiss of cold drinks being opened; the crew passes bowls of chips and freshly made Mexican burritos while the bow points toward Land’s End. Within minutes the skyline breaks into rock and water—arches, stacks, and a coastline that dares you to look away.

Adventure Tips
Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
The Gulf’s reefs are fragile—use reef‑safe sunscreen and reapply after swimming to protect corals and fish.
Secure footwear for rocky shorelines
Water shoes make boarding from small dinghies and exploring the semi‑private beach easier and safer.
Hydrate and pace alcohol intake
Alcohol flows on board—balance cocktails with water to avoid dehydration in the sun.
Confirm group-size and accessibility needs
The vessel accommodates larger parties, but some private bookings limit numbers—advise on wheelchair or infant-seat needs when booking.
