Question 1

How much does a yacht charter in Cabo cost?

Pricing on cabo.la includes captain, crew, fuel, open bar, snorkeling gear, and a fully customizable itinerary.

Question 2

What size yacht do I need for my group?

Accepted Answer

For couples or small groups of 2 to 6, an intimate sailboat or 40-foot cruiser is ideal. Groups of 10 to 20 do best on a 50 to 80-foot yacht with a spacious sundeck. For bachelorette parties, corporate outings, or weddings with 25 to 100+ guests, cabo.la offers large catamarans and party boats with premium sound systems and open-air lounges.

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

All cabo.la yacht charters include an open bar with beer, cocktails, water, and soft drinks. Many yachts provide light snacks like ceviche and fruit. For a premium experience, you can add a private onboard chef who prepares fresh sushi, lobster, or a full Mexican feast for an additional $300 to $800 depending on group size.

Question 6

How long are typical Cabo yacht charters?

Accepted Answer

Most charters run 4 hours (half-day) or 8 hours (full-day). Popular 4-hour itineraries include a sunset cruise or snorkeling trip to Land's End. Full-day charters can combine fishing, snorkeling, beach hopping, and a sunset return. Overnight charters are also available on select vessels. The cabo.la team helps customize the perfect itinerary for your group.
