On a bright morning in Cabo San Lucas, a private charter aboard Pelican 17 slips away from Cabo San Lucas Marina, Dock N, in front of Baja Cantina Restaurant, cutting a clean wake toward Land's End. The 3 Hour Rental - 31-50 Guests is a three-hour private boating experience designed for large groups who want a lively, all-inclusive day on the Sea of Cortez and Pacific seam. For parties celebrating weddings, corporate outings, or milestone gatherings, this package balances comfort, music, and water play with room for custom bar and culinary upgrades.
The vessel carries a stocked bar with options from bottled water and Mexican beer to signature cocktails; premium-liquor packages and chef-prepared taco or full menus are available as add-ons. Onboard amenities listed for Pelican 17 include snorkeling equipment, two SUP boards, a floating mat, and two plunge pools — features that let guests jump between snorkeling at Pelican Rock and lazing on the water. A high-quality Bluetooth sound system turns the boat into a private party, while shaded seating, open decks, and snack stations keep the group fed and comfortable.
The route from the marina typically threads past Cabo’s key coastal features: the rocky fingers of Land’s End, the iconic El Arco, and Lover’s Beach on the Sea of Cortez side. Beneath the surface, volcanic rock walls and kelp beds shelter schools of colorful reef fish and occasional sea turtles, creating excellent snorkeling moments near protected coves. Pelican Rock and nearby reefs are geological highlights — volcanic outcrops carved by waves and time — that make the snorkeling memorable.
This experience stands out because it scales luxury and playfulness for big groups without losing local character. Meeting at an accessible downtown marina address makes logistics simple for guests staying in Cabo San Lucas, and the customizable bar and chef options let organizers tailor the vibe from casual tacos to elevated plated service. The operator’s combination of gear, space, and music-friendly systems keeps everyone engaged whether they’re paddling a SUP, diving into a floating mat, or sipping a Pelican Margarita during sunset light.
Practical notes: the three-hour rhythm favors a single bay visit with time for snorkeling and a leisurely circumnavigation near El Arco. Bring reef-safe sunscreen and a light cover-up for afternoon breeze. For larger groups confirm bar and menu upgrades, and account for 16% taxes and 10% gratuity in planning. The result is an easygoing, sun-forward charter that showcases why Cabo’s coastline remains a premier playground for group celebrations. Bookings should be made well in advance during high season to lock in preferred departure times and to coordinate any special dietary or accessibility requests with the crew for a seamless, celebratory and memorable day on the water.
