If you’re dreaming of sailing along Cabo San Lucas’s famous coastline, this private 3-hour yacht experience from Cabo Paradise Tours might catch your eye. While I haven’t personally taken this exact trip, I’ve looked into the details to give you a clear picture of what to expect. It’s billed as an all-inclusive, customizable adventure, perfect for groups wanting to enjoy Cabo’s iconic sights with some added flexibility and comfort.
What immediately stands out to me are the stunning views of the Arch and Lover’s Beach, plus the opportunity to tailor your time with water activities like snorkeling, paddleboarding, or just relaxing on deck. I also appreciate that the price covers food, drinks, and gear, which means you can focus on enjoying yourself without worrying about extra costs. But a key consideration is that the remaining balance is paid at the dock—something to keep in mind if you prefer to settle everything beforehand.
This tour seems well-suited for groups of up to 12 looking for a private, laid-back experience with flexible options. If you’re traveling with friends or family who love water or scenic sailing, it could be a great way to spend part of your Cabo trip. However, if your group wants a more structured or party-focused experience, other options might suit you better.

The Itinerary and Sights
This cruise kicks off with a tour of some of Cabo’s most recognizable landmarks. You’ll get up close to The Arch of Cabo, Lover’s Beach, Divorce Beach, Neptune’s Finger, and the sea lion colony. These are the iconic spots that define Cabo’s coastline, and seeing them from the water offers a perspective you simply can’t get from land. The captain and crew are experienced and ready to share insights about these sites, adding an educational element to the beauty.
After the sightseeing, the boat heads toward select beaches and bays—Santa Maria Beach, Chileno Bay, or El Médano Beach—where you can enjoy water-based activities. The flexibility here is a major plus: whether you want to paddle around on a stand-up paddleboard, snorkel among vibrant marine life, or simply take a swim, the choice is yours. And if just relaxing sounds better, you’re welcome to lounge on deck, listen to music, and soak up the sun.
Why We Like the Landmarks
The landmarks are what make Cabo’s coastline so special, and being able to see them from the yacht is a highlight. The Arch, for instance, is a natural marvel and a perfect photo spot. Lover’s Beach and Divorce Beach show the contrasting sides of the coast—one calm and inviting, the other rugged and wild. Neptune’s Finger adds a unique geological feature for pictures and exploration.
Activities and Personalization
Water activities are a core part of the trip, with snorkel gear available at no charge. We loved the idea that you can choose to snorkel, paddleboard, swim, or just chill on the boat. This level of customization is especially appealing if you want a personalized experience that fits your mood and energy levels that day.
The crew is friendly and bilingual, which makes communication smooth. They’ll guide you through the best spots and ensure you’re comfortable, whether you’re a seasoned swimmer or a first-timer.
The Food and Drinks
One of the standout features is that food and drinks are included—a rarity in small yacht tours. You’ll get tortilla chips, Mexican salsa, and drinks served with a cooler and a bag of ice to keep everything cold. This means no need to bring your own snacks or worry about purchasing additional refreshments mid-trip. On the reviews, travelers enjoyed the convenience and quality of the included snacks and beverages, which added to the laid-back vibe.

At $200 per group for up to 12 people, this tour is quite cost-effective. Considering it’s private, all-inclusive, and lasts three hours, the value is solid—especially for couples, families, or groups wanting a relaxed, personal adventure. Remember, though, that the remaining balance of $1600 is paid on-site, which could be a surprise if you weren’t expecting it. It’s a good idea to factor that into your planning budget.
Practical Aspects
The meeting point is at D Dock in Marina Cabo San Lucas, making it easy to find with nearby public transportation options. The boat accommodates up to 12 guests, which keeps things intimate and manageable. The tour is most often booked about 22 days in advance, so planning ahead is wise.
Weather and Cancellation
Since this experience depends on good weather, it’s worth noting that poor weather can lead to cancellations. In such cases, you’ll be offered either a new date or a full refund, which adds a layer of security to your booking.
The Experience for Different Travelers
This trip is best for those who value privacy, flexibility, and scenic beauty. If you’re traveling with friends or family who love the water and are comfortable on a boat, you’ll likely find this a memorable way to enjoy Cabo. It’s not a party tour with loud music and large crowds—it’s more laid-back and intimate, ideal for relaxing, sightseeing, and water fun.
If you’re a solo traveler or a couple, you’ll likely find the private setting more comfortable and personalized. For groups seeking a lively or themed experience, other tours might suit better, but for a straightforward, scenic, and customizable outing, this ticks many boxes.
