The Clear Boat is a specialized boat operator based in Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur, offering transparent-hull excursions that put the ocean on full display. The company operates signature experiences including Alpha and Atria, which feature guided tours of the iconic Arch of Cabo San Lucas from a fully transparent boat. Atria departs every hour from the Marina on 45-minute guided runs, while Alpha provides an immersive Arch experience with extended photo and viewing opportunities.
In addition to Cabo-based Arch trips, The Clear Boat lists two 1.5‑hour Cozumel experiences—Tan Claro como el Mar Carlota and Tan Claro como el mar Fiscal—that emphasize snorkeling over coral reefs and visits to shipwreck sites. Those Cozumel trips include snorkeling gear, short 10–15 minute swim segments on some departures, and complimentary drinks as noted in the trip descriptions. Each experience is presented with clear-boat viewing to maximize underwater visibility and scenic coastal perspectives.
The Clear Boat is featured on The Adventure Collective, making its trip descriptions and scheduling accessible to travelers researching clear-hull tours in Mexico. Information about departure times, durations, and onboard amenities appears with each listed trip, helping guests choose the right outing. Travelers seeking transparent boat tours of the Arch, short guided excursions, or snorkeling-focused Cozumel outings will find straightforward trip options labeled by name, duration, and highlights.
Booking details, exact departure points, and seasonal availability are published per trip so guests can plan. The Clear Boat presents named itineraries that summarize duration, highlights, and included amenities for easy comparison.
