Cabo Boat Rentals

Our Cabo boat rental fleet is one of the widest in Los Cabos, from 30 foot express cruisers for a family of four to 100 foot luxury yachts, plus flybridge motor yachts and spacious catamarans in between. Every vessel is a comfort focused day cruiser with shade, seating, and a sound system, and the larger boats add cabins, air conditioning, and a chef on request. Tell us your group size and the experience you want and we will match you with the ideal boat. Our fleet is built for cruising, snorkeling, sunsets, and celebrations on luxury vessels.

It comes down to group size, budget, and the vibe you want. Couples and small groups of 6 to 12 do well on a 30 to 45 foot cruiser for a half day of cruising and snorkeling. Groups of 12 to 25 are comfortable on a 45 to 60 foot yacht or catamaran, and large parties of 30 to 40 suit the biggest yachts, with event boats hosting up to 200. With more than 15 years arranging Los Cabos charters, our team will walk you through the options and recommend the best fit before you book.

It depends on the boat. Smaller cruisers carry 6 to 12 guests, mid size yachts and catamarans handle 12 to 25, large yachts take 30 to 40, and dedicated event boats seat up to 200 for weddings and corporate functions. Mexican regulations set a capacity for each vessel based on its size and certification, and we confirm the exact number for your chosen boat before booking. If your group is large, let us know early so we can secure the right boat or a small flotilla that keeps everyone together.

Yes. Every Cabo boat rental is fully crewed with a licensed captain and bilingual crew who handle all navigation, anchoring, and safety, so you simply relax and enjoy the day. We do not offer bareboat rentals, which means no boating license or experience is needed on your part. Children are welcome and life jackets are carried for all ages. Your only job is to choose the boat, the date, and the experience you want while the crew takes care of the rest.

On our luxury boats a rental is all inclusive: a licensed captain and bilingual crew, fuel for the route, snorkel gear and life jackets, a premium open bar with margaritas, beer, and soft drinks, and chef prepared food served on board such as ceviche, guacamole, quesadillas, and fajitas. Most boats add shade, fresh water, a sound system, and water toys. Only the smallest boats are bring your own food, and we tell you which category your boat falls into before booking, so there are no surprises at the dock.

On the larger luxury boats, yes. Most Cabo rentals include a premium open bar with margaritas, cold beer, soft drinks, and water, plus chef prepared food served on board such as ceviche, guacamole, quesadillas, and fajitas. The exact menu varies by boat, and you are welcome to bring a special bottle or a cake for a celebration. Only the smallest boats are bring your own food. Let us know any dietary needs and we will tailor the menu before your rental so everyone aboard is looked after.

Day rentals are our specialty. A half day rental runs about 4 hours and is perfect for the Arch, a snorkel bay, and lunch on board, while a full day runs about 8 hours and adds more coastline and swim stops. Short hourly cruises and 2 to 3 hour sunset rentals are also popular. Most guests choose a half day or full day private rental, and we tailor the timing, the menu, and the route to your group. Multi day private cruises along the Baja coast can be arranged on request.

Yes, and a sunset cruise is one of our most requested rentals. A 2 to 3 hour sunset rental leaves the marina in the late afternoon, cruises past Land's End and the Arch as the light turns gold, and lets your group toast the evening with the open bar and music as the sun drops into the Pacific. It is a favorite for anniversaries, proposals, and relaxed celebrations. Because demand is high, sunset slots fill early, so reserve your preferred date and boat well ahead.

Pricing depends on the boat, the season, the duration, and your group size, so the best way to get an accurate quote is to tell us your dates and plans and let us match you with the right vessel. A short cruise on a smaller boat sits at the entry of the range, while a full day on a large luxury yacht is higher. A deposit holds your date and the balance is due on the rental day.

Booking is simple. Call or message Day Yacht Charters at +1 (305) 515-4735, or email info@DayYachtCharters.com, with your dates, group size, and the experience you have in mind. We will share current availability, recommend the ideal boat, and send a simple reservation form that lays out the vessel, the inclusions, the meeting point, and the terms. A deposit secures your date, payable by credit card, PayPal, Zelle, or bank wire, with the balance due on the rental day.

Cabo San Lucas is our busiest market, so booking early matters. For prime dates such as the December holidays, spring break, Thanksgiving, and the summer months, we recommend reserving 2 to 4 months ahead, since the best boats sell out first. For quieter weeks a few weeks of notice is often enough, but availability still moves quickly. Once you choose a boat, a deposit secures your date. The sooner you reach out, the better the selection of vessels, departure times, and crews.

We accept credit cards, PayPal, Zelle, and bank wire. A deposit holds your date and the balance is due on the rental day. Because our fleet includes boats from different owners, the exact deposit and cancellation terms can vary by vessel, and we lay them out clearly in your reservation form before any payment so you know exactly what to expect. Crew gratuity is customary and paid at the end of the rental, separate from the boat price.

Most of our rentals board at IGY Marina Cabo San Lucas, the modern marina in the heart of downtown with roughly 380 slips, fuel, and easy access, and some depart from the nearby Puerto Paraiso marina beside the shopping center, which offers convenient parking and provisioning. Both sit steps from the restaurants and beach clubs of the waterfront. From the marina channel it is only about 1 nautical mile to Land's End and the Arch. We send a clear meeting point with your confirmation.

Absolutely. Because every rental is private, you set the plan. Whether you want to cruise the Arch and Land's End, anchor at Lover's Beach, snorkel Santa María or Chileno Bay, watch the sunset, or simply relax on deck with the open bar, the captain tailors the route to your group and the day's conditions. You can adjust on the day too. Private rentals are why Cabo is so popular for proposals, anniversaries, family days, and group getaways on the water.

No. We only offer crewed rentals with a licensed captain and trained crew, so no license or boating experience is needed on your part. We do not provide bareboat rentals. The crew handles navigation, anchoring, and safety from start to finish, and if you would like to take the wheel for a moment in open water, many captains are happy to oblige. All you need to bring is your group and your plans for the day.

Yes. Our crewed rentals are a wonderful family day on the water, with life jackets for all ages, shade, and calm swim stops in sheltered bays like Santa María and the cove at Lover's Beach. The crew keeps an eye on safety so parents can relax, and many boats carry snorkel gear, paddleboards, and a floating mat the kids love. Let us know the ages in your group and we will recommend a boat and a route that keeps everyone comfortable and entertained.

Yes, snorkeling is one of the best parts of a Cabo rental. Crews carry snorkel gear for every guest and head for the calmest, clearest cove of the day, usually Santa María Bay, a horseshoe shaped marine sanctuary about 6 nautical miles from the marina, or Chileno Bay, a Blue Flag beach roughly 8 nautical miles along the corridor. The sheltered cove by Lover's Beach and Pelican Rock offers a quick snorkel right at Land's End, with parrotfish, sergeant majors, and the occasional sea turtle.

Definitely. Cabo is a top spot for birthdays, bachelor and bachelorette parties, anniversaries, proposals, weddings, and corporate events, and a private boat makes a memorable venue. We arrange decorations, a private chef, a premium bar, music, and photography, and our event boats host groups up to 200. Tell us what you are celebrating and your vision, and our team coordinates the details so you simply step aboard and enjoy. Milestone dates fill quickly in peak season, so book early.

Pack light. Bring swimwear, a hat, sunglasses, reef safe sunscreen, and a light layer for a breezy sunset, plus a phone or camera for the Arch and the wildlife. Towels and snorkel gear are provided on board, and most boats supply the open bar, food, and ice, so you only need any personal extras or a special bottle for a celebration. Soft soled shoes or bare feet are best, since most boats are barefoot friendly. We send a short checklist with your confirmation so you arrive ready to relax.

Day rentals are the core of what we do, by the hour and as half day, full day, and sunset cruises, all private and all inclusive on the luxury boats. For guests who want more time on the water, we can also arrange longer multi day private cruises along the Baja coast, with overnight stops and a tailored itinerary. Most visitors to Cabo San Lucas choose a day rental to combine the Arch, a snorkel bay, and a sunset, but if a multi day cruise interests you, just ask and we will share options.
