Snorkeling in Cabo San Lucas on 35′ Sea Amore Trimaran

If you’re dreaming of spending a few hours on the water in Cabo San Lucas, snorkeling aboard the 35′ Sea Amore Trimaran might just be what you’re looking for. While I haven’t done this trip myself, the reviews and details suggest it’s a well-loved experience—especially for those who want a relaxed, fun, and visually stunning outing.

What we really appreciate about this tour is how it combines quality snorkeling at Pelican Rock with a generous refreshing open bar and plenty of good food. Plus, the small group size (up to 6 people) promises a more personalized experience, which makes it feel exclusive without the hefty price tag of private yacht charters.

One thing to keep in mind is that, at $990 for up to six people, this isn’t the cheapest option. But considering the included drinks, food, and the professionalism of the crew, many find it to be a pretty fair deal—especially when you factor in the value of memorable scenery and attentive service.

This tour is best suited for travelers who want to relax, enjoy some excellent drinks, and explore Cabo’s coastline at a comfortable pace—whether you’re snorkeling the clear waters or simply soaking up the sun on deck.

The food platter included is a nice touch—think beef burritos, cheese quesadillas, and a fresh Mexican chicken salad. Fresh fruits and vegetables accompany the meal, which is perfect for a light lunch.

The open bar is another highlight—offering everything from Bacardi and Captain Morgan to Absolut Vodka, Don Julio tequila, and wine. Many reviewers appreciate the quality of drinks, with some even hooking up Bluetooth to listen to their favorite tunes while cruising.

The Experience: What the Reviews Say

The glowing reviews highlight how knowledgeable and attentive the crew members like Roberto, Juan, Luis, Javier, and Enrique are. Travelers frequently mention how these guides go above and beyond—helping with snorkeling, serving drinks promptly, and sharing interesting tidbits about the area.

One reviewer who’s been to Cabo multiple times said, “Roberto & Juan were absolutely incredible and very informative!!

Potential Downsides

While the experience is highly regarded, it’s worth noting that the price point may be a consideration for some. At $990 per group, it’s a premium for a 3-hour outing. Also, the trip is weather-dependent—bad weather could cause cancellations, but the policy states you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund if that happens.
