Shared or private

A seat on a shared boat, or a boat of your own

A shared sunset cruise is priced per seat and a private boat is one price for the whole boat, so the math turns on your group size.

On a shared sail you buy seats and join other guests. We book two: the Sunset Party Cruise at $89 and the Los Cabos Luxury Sunset Sail at $119. On a private boat the rate is for the whole boat, and you pick the Sunset slot on the boat page when you book.

For two people, shared seats cost less: two seats are $178 to $238, and a whole boat for 3 hours starts at $850.

The best value 3-hour boat for a small group is the Sailboat 42ft. It is $850 for the whole boat for 3 hours, and the rate covers six guests, about $142 each before IVA. Six seats on the Los Cabos Luxury Sunset Sail come to $714, so at six people the shared seats still cost a little less, but the boat is all yours.

Each guest past six adds $80, up to 12 on that boat.

For a big group, the Catamaran 47ft carries up to 40 guests. Its $2,050 rate covers 14, about $146 each, and each extra guest is $80.

Shopping for a sail? The 4-Hour Luxury Cabo Sailing Boat Tour leaves at 11:00 AM, so it is a daytime trip, not a sunset one.

On top of the price

What you pay on top

Checkout adds 16% IVA, so the $89 seat is $103.24 and the $850 boat is $986.

Shared sails also have a $4 dock fee per person, paid in cash at the dock on the day.

Tips are not included. The shared sails suggest 15 to 20% for the crew.

On a private boat the crew tip is not in the rate either. 15 to 20% of the charter rate is standard in Cabo, in cash, for the captain and crew.

If plans change

Cancellations and weather

Shared sails and private boats follow two different rules.

Private boats follow our charter rule. 7 or more days before: 100% refund. 72 hours to 7 days before: 50% refund. Less than 72 hours before: No refund. If we or the captain cancel for weather or safety reasons, you receive a full refund or a free reschedule, no matter the timing. Each boat has one rate all year, so a new date on the same boat never costs more.

Shared sunset sails follow our tour rule. More than 72 hours before your trip: 75% refund. From 48 to 72 hours before: 50% refund. Under 48 hours, a no-show, arriving late, seasickness or heading back early: no refund. If the port is closed, or the captain or tour team cancels for weather or safety, we move you to a new date. If no new date works for you, you get a full refund. Light rain or choppy water that the captain calls safe is not a cancellation.
