Experience in 30 foot yacht 3 hours

If you’re dreaming of cruising along Cabo San Lucas’s iconic coastline with all the space and comfort of your own boat, this 3-hour private yacht tour might be just what you’re after. Offered by Gregory Tours, this experience promises a personalized, crowd-free way to soak in the stunning scenery, enjoy some swimming and snorkeling, and relax in style.

What we love about this experience is the exclusivity—you’re not sharing with dozens of strangers—and the flexibility to move at your own pace. Plus, the added amenities like shade, a bathroom, and cold drinks make it feel more like a luxury escape than a typical boat ride. On the flip side, it’s not a cheap outing, and if you’re hoping for a gourmet meal or a larger party, this might not tick all your boxes.

This tour is best suited for those who value privacy, comfort, and a tailored experience over big-group buzz. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just want a peaceful day on the water, it offers a good chance to enjoy Cabo’s famous sights in a laid-back way.

The Experience in Detail

The Booking and Meeting Point

Starting from Gregory Tours at the Marina in Cabo San Lucas, the meeting is straightforward—near public transportation and easy to find. The tour operates daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, giving you plenty of flexibility in planning your day. Once onboard, you’ll quickly notice that the boat is just the right size: intimate enough to feel private but spacious enough to move around comfortably.

Setting Sail and Admiring Cabo’s Best Sights

Once out on the water, the real star of the show is the view. The Cabo San Lucas Arch, also known as “El Arco,” is the highlight and from the deck of your yacht, you’ll get a unique vantage point. Unlike crowded boat tours, this experience offers an unhurried perspective, allowing you to snap photos without fighting for space.

The boat’s design ensures you’ll have shaded areas to lounge and sunbathe, plus a bathroom onboard—features that make a big difference in comfort during a 3-hour trip. The boat also has a sound system, so you can enjoy your favorite tunes while cruising.

Stops for Swimming and Snorkeling

A big perk of this tour is the scheduled stops in clear waters perfect for swimming and snorkeling. You’ll get to use the snorkelling equipment provided, which is a nice bonus if you want to explore beneath the surface. Many reviews mention making multiple stops to enjoy the scenery and have some fun in the water, making it a versatile trip whether you’re into relaxing or active water play.

One of the fun moments is floating on the included floating mat—a favorite for many travelers—where you can just lounge and soak up the sun. These stops are well-placed so you can enjoy the tranquility of the sea without feeling rushed.

Food and Drinks

While the tour provides bottled water and ice, it does not include food—so plan accordingly if you’re hungry or want a special picnic. You might find bringing snacks or drinks is the way to go, especially if you’re celebrating something or have specific dietary needs.

The boat offers cold drinks and a cooler, so you can keep your beverages chilled during the trip. This is a simple but appreciated touch that adds to the relaxed vibe.

Amenities and Comfort

The yacht is equipped with shade, a bathroom, and a stateroom, making the experience comfortable for everyone on board. These features are important, especially in the warm Cabo sun. The bathroom is a practical inclusion that not all boat tours offer, and having shade means you can sit back and stay cool while enjoying the scenery.

Overall Value and Considerations

At $536.29 for a group of up to 6 people, this experience is priced to reflect its private, personalized nature. For those traveling with friends or a small family, it’s a fairly good value, especially considering the amenities and exclusive feel. Comparing it to larger tours, it offers a more intimate, relaxed atmosphere—ideal if you prefer not to be part of a big crowd.

However, the price might seem steep if you’re budget-conscious, and since food isn’t included, you’ll need to plan ahead. Also, keep in mind that the experience relies heavily on good weather; cancellations are possible if conditions aren’t suitable, but they do offer rescheduling or full refunds.

What Past Travelers Say

Though reviews are still coming in, the overall sentiment is positive. Travelers appreciate the stunning views and the ability to enjoy Cabo at their own pace. One reviewer mentioned, “We loved the way the boat was just for us—no crowds, just relaxing and taking photos.”

Others highlighted how the amenities, like the bathroom and shaded areas, really made a difference in comfort during the trip. Some note that bringing their own food made the experience even better, given that it’s not included.

Who Should Consider This Tour?

This private yacht experience is perfect for small groups wanting a more personalized, relaxed way to see Cabo’s sights. It suits couples celebrating an anniversary, small families, or friends looking for an exclusive day on the water. If you’re someone who prefers a calm, less commercial vibe with the freedom to set your own pace, this tour will likely meet your expectations.

On the other hand, if you’re after a lively party atmosphere or want a full meal included, you might want to explore other options. The price point also makes it better suited for those who value privacy and comfort over budget.
