Pelican 11: Private 4-Hour Catamaran in Cabo San Lucas
Off the sun-bright coast of Cabo San Lucas, Pelican 11 (formerly Deck By The Sea) runs private four-hour charters that compress the best of the Sea of Cortez and Pacific into a single, luxurious loop. Launching from the marina in Cabo San Lucas, this 55ft catamaran carries up to 45 guests across Medano Bay to semi-private beaches, coral reefs and the sculpted stone of Land's End.
The trip is designed for people who want both play and comfort. Onboard flats and lounge seating convert into social zones, while a full kitchen and curated menus let you upgrade to chef-crafted tacos or a four-course dinner. Standard inclusions—snorkel gear, two SUP boards, a floating mat, beverages and light snacks—make it easy to jump off the aft and find tropical fish in clear, protected water. Crew set the pace: anchored swims and paddle sessions give you time to inspect local reefs and search for sea turtles, while the captain plots a scenic run past El Arco, Pelican Rock, Neptune’s Finger and the sea lion colony at Land’s End.
Geology steals the show. El Arco, the famed granite arch at Land's End, rises from waves scoured from volcanic and igneous rock, framing the meeting point of the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific. Photographers will find contrast between the pale stone and the cobalt water; natural light at golden hour can make silhouettes of rock stacks that look cinematic from the catamaran's forward deck.
Wildlife is a variable highlight. Between December and April, the captain watches for migrating whales; year-round you can spot pelicans, sea turtles, colorful reef fish and the harbor's lounging sea lions. Safety briefings and life vests are standard; children under 12 must be accompanied by a guardian.
Why book Pelican 11? It's private, scalable and social—ideal for groups, families, and events that want guided but flexible access to Cabo's shoreline. The vessel's Bluetooth sound system and culinary options turn a cruise into a private sunset party or relaxed snorkel day. PELICAN CABO's policies emphasize safety and respect for marine life, and the itinerary keeps environmental awareness in mind when stopping at sensitive beaches and reefs.
Whether you're planning a celebratory charter, a snorkeling morning or a sunset return through Land's End, this four-hour rental is a practical, memorable way to experience the geologic drama and marine life that define Cabo San Lucas. Standard packages include bottled water, Mexican beer, guacamole, chips and pico de gallo, plus a restroom onboard—small comforts that matter at sea. Optional upgrades range from taco bars and premium open bars to full multi-course chef menus. Book early for prime sunset slots and expect taxes and a 10% suggested gratuity.
