01Private route from Cabo San Lucas Marina
Most Cabo boat tours start at Cabo San Lucas Marina and cruise toward Land's End, El Arco, the sea lion colony, Pelican Rock, Lovers Beach, Divorce Beach, and Medano Bay. A private yacht lets the captain adjust the route around sea conditions, guest comfort, photo stops, and whether your group wants more cruising, swimming, snorkeling, or time anchored near the bay.
02Why book a private boat tour instead of a shared tour
Shared tours can work for sightseeing, but they follow a fixed schedule and mixed-group pace. CaboTide's private boat tours are built around your date, group size, food preferences, mobility needs, timing, and preferred energy, so the same route can feel like a relaxed family cruise, a celebration, a sunset pre-dinner charter, or a quieter snorkel-focused day.
03Best yacht fit by group size
Small groups usually compare Olivia Grace or Steel Aweigh because both carry up to 14 day guests and start at $549 per hour. Mid-size groups often look at Heather Nikki for up to 25 guests, while bigger celebrations can compare Number Juan for up to 35 guests or Neoprene for up to 40 guests when more deck space matters.
04El Arco, Land's End, and Medano Bay
The highest-demand Cabo San Lucas boat tour route is the marina-to-Arch loop because it covers the signature coastline quickly while still leaving room for food, drinks, and time on the water. Land's End and El Arco are photo anchors, Pelican Rock can be a snorkel stop when conditions are right, and Medano Bay is often the calmer water for a relaxed anchor or swim.
05What is included onboard
CaboTide's private charters are crewed and planned as all-inclusive experiences, with yacht-specific inclusions such as private chef service, open bar options, paddleboards, snorkel gear, water toys, and in some cases jetskis. The concierge confirms what is included on the yacht that fits your date and guest count before you commit.
06Planning around weather and timing
Morning tours can be better for calmer water and snorkel visibility, afternoon tours can feel more social, and golden-hour charters are better for photos and Land's End views. Wind, swell, port conditions, and seasonal whale activity can all change the best route, so the crew confirms the practical plan close to your charter date.
07Pricing and minimums
CaboTide yachts have a 3-hour minimum, with starting rates from $549 per hour on Olivia Grace and Steel Aweigh, $749 per hour on Les Is More, $949 per hour on Heather Nikki, $1,249 per hour on Number Juan, and $1,999 per hour on Neoprene before VAT and crew gratuity. Your final quote depends on yacht, date, duration, group size, and upgrades.
