Question 1

How much does a yacht charter in Cabo cost?

Accepted Answer

Every charter on cabo.la is priced for the whole boat, not per person, so the number you see is what the group pays. Our published fleet runs $350 to $6,500 for a 2 or 3 hours charter, plus 16% IVA added at checkout. Captain, crew and fuel come with every boat; each yacht's page lists exactly what else is included, because an entry-level boat carries a cooler of drinks while the larger yachts run a full bar. Want something longer or overnight? Message the concierge and we will quote it directly rather than guess.

Question 2

What size yacht do I need for my group?

Accepted Answer

Our fleet carries up to 40 guests on a single boat. Couples and groups of two to eight fit comfortably on the smaller cruisers, ten to twenty is the sweet spot for the mid-size yachts with a real sundeck, and the largest vessels handle bachelorette parties and corporate groups at the top of that range. Filter the fleet by guest count above to see only the boats that fit your party — and if your group is larger than 40, the concierge can put two boats on the water together.

Question 3

What's the best time of year for a yacht charter in Cabo?

Accepted Answer

Cabo offers over 300 days of sunshine, making yacht charters great year-round. Peak season (December through April) brings warm, dry weather and whale watching opportunities. Summer months offer warmer water for swimming and snorkeling with lower charter rates. The cabo.la team can recommend the best itinerary based on your travel dates.

Question 4

Can I go whale watching on a private yacht?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. From December through April, humpback and gray whales migrate through the Sea of Cortez, often surfacing within 50 feet of boats. A private yacht charter through cabo.la lets you enjoy the experience without the crowds of group tours, with your captain navigating to the best sighting areas around Land's End and Chileno Bay.

Question 5

Do yacht charters include food and drinks?

Accepted Answer

Most cabo.la yacht charters include an open bar with beer, cocktails, water, and soft drinks, plus light snacks like ceviche and fruit. Our entry-level small boats (like the 28ft) come with a cooler of soft drinks and water instead of an open bar — hard alcohol is not included, but you're welcome to bring your own. Each yacht's page lists exactly what's included. For a premium experience, add a private onboard chef for an additional $300 to $800 depending on group size.

Question 6

How long are typical Cabo yacht charters?

Accepted Answer

Charters on cabo.la run 2 or 3 hours — that is the standard block for every boat in the fleet, and it is long enough to reach the Arch and Land's End, swim or snorkel at Pelican Rock or Santa Maria, and still make it back for sunset. Each boat's page states its exact charter length. If you want a longer day, a full-day run or an overnight, message the concierge and we will price it with the captain instead of quoting you a package we do not publish.
