On a bright morning in Cabo San Lucas the waterfront shifts from marina to launchpad. Meet Pelican 11, a 55ft catamaran available for private four-hour rentals out of Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur, Mexico. This boat slides across Medano Bay, anchors at semi-private beaches for snorkeling and swimming, and stages a cinematic sweep past El Arco and Land's End as the sun sets. Pelican 11 blends comfort and activity: cushioned sunbeds, lounge seating, two SUP boards, a floating mat, snorkeling gear, a full galley, and a Bluetooth sound system to set the tone.
The route is classic Baja: paddle around calm coves, snorkel reefs alive with colorful fish and the occasional sea turtle, then cruise to granite formations such as El Arco, Pelican Rock, and Neptune's Finger. You can drift near the sea lion colony or step ashore at Lovers Beach and Divorce Beach where wave-cut cliffs and wind-polished rock shape a raw shoreline. Seasonal visitors may spot migrating whales between December and April, turning the ocean into a theater of breaches and tails.
Pelican 11 offers a tailored experience. Basic packages include snacks, bottled water, beer, and soft drinks, plus life vests and safety briefings for all ages. Upgrade to a private chef, a taco bar, a full multi-course menu, or premium open bar options for celebrations and reunions. The vessel accommodates up to 20 guests and welcomes families and pets while crew handle navigation and guest service so you can swim, paddle, and relax.
What makes this charter a standout is access. The catamaran's shallow draft lets you anchor close to beaches larger vessels skip, giving semi-private snorkeling spots a quieter feel. Onboard amenities and a full kitchen let you customize food and timing, and the crew's local knowledge reveals short windows to wildlife and tucked-away coves few visitors find.
Practical tips: check wind and swell for snorkeling conditions, reserve sunset slots early, and discuss food and drink upgrades when booking. Pelican 11 departs from the marina in Cabo San Lucas, an easy launch from town hotels and resorts. Whether you want a family swim, a birthday float, or a sunset toast sailing past El Arco, this private four-hour charter delivers sea, stone, and wildlife with attentive, customizable service.
Guests should plan for taxes and gratuity; listed rates exclude 16% tax and a 10% gratuity that supports crew service. The vessel's full kitchen means you can bring a private chef or select from onboard menus ranging from casual taco bars to four-course dinners. For photographers, the forward trampoline area offers low-angle ocean shots and the stern lounge frames sunsets and El Arco perfectly. Book early during high season to secure prime sunset windows slots.
