75 feet of Cabo coastline, with choices.

This private, all-inclusive 75-ft yacht trip is built for flexibility, so you are not stuck with a rigid script. I like the way it pairs iconic scenery like El Arco with real on-the-water time and provided gear. And I love that you get a chef, a mixologist, and a crew on hand to keep the day moving, from appetizers to the main meal.

The big potential drawback to plan around is timing and conditions. The early bird price is tied to trips returning at 3 PM (with a 3-hour minimum), and the experience requires good weather, so have a backup date in your mind.

Quick take on this Cabo yacht charter

• Private by default: only your group sails, with a crew built around your pace
• All-inclusive food and drinks: ceviche, guacamole, dips, plus a chef-made meal and bartender-made cocktails
• You steer the day: snorkeling, paddle boards, fishing gear, and you choose how long to spend at each moment
• Signature Cabo stops: El Arco, Playa el Chileno, and Medano Beach
• Family-friendly setup: even mixed ages can participate, since the crew handles the work for activities like fishing
• Huge boat, comfortable feel: 2-bedroom yacht, with room to hold up to 50 guests (promo price includes up to 10)

Stepping onto a 75-ft, 2-bedroom yacht at IGY Marina

You start at IGY Marina StoreCentro in Cabo San Lucas, and that matters more than it sounds. A marina location keeps things simple, and it usually means you spend more of your trip on the water than in transit.

This is a private charter operated by Blue Moon Yacht, and the yacht is a 75-ft, 2-bedroom setup. That space is part of the value. It gives your group room to spread out, take breaks between activities, and handle a mix of people, like adults plus small kids, without the whole day becoming one cramped party.

Crew staffing is a key detail here: you will have 4 to 5 dedicated crew members, plus a mixologist and a chef. That is not just for show. It is what makes the trip feel smooth, because you are not juggling orders, gear, and logistics by yourself.

All-inclusive means chef apps first, then the main meal

On a boat, food can be the make-or-break part of the day. This one handles it for you.

Before the main meal, you can count on plenty of appetizers, including fresh-made ceviche, guacamole, and handmade dips and salsas. That appetizer flow is practical too: it gives people something to snack on while you are gearing up for snorkeling, paddle boarding, or just soaking up the views between stops.

Then the chef prepares a full meal, and the bartender makes drinks based on what you want. There is also a cocktail menu with plenty of options if you feel indecisive, or if you want a safer pick than naming a drink you half-remember.

Two small rules that affect planning:

• Alcohol is only for guests 18 years old and above.
• The trip is structured as all-inclusive in the sense that food and drink service are part of the experience, not a last-minute add-on.

How the Cabo route works: El Arco, Playa el Chileno, Medano Beach

This charter includes three major stops, and you get to decide how much time to spend doing things at each one. That is the real trick. You get the famous sights, but you are not locked into a “move every 20 minutes no matter what” style.

Stop 1: El Arco de Cabo San Lucas

You begin with El Arco de Cabo San Lucas, Cabo’s most recognizable rock formation. Even if you have seen photos, being there by boat hits differently. The structure looks more dramatic at sea level, and it is the best sort of stop for everyone to gather, take pictures, and just look.

Why it’s worth it: it anchors the trip in the classic Cabo experience.

A practical tip: if your group includes people who just want scenic time, this is often the stop where they feel most satisfied, even if others are itching to get into the water next.

Stop 2: Playa el Chileno

Next comes Playa el Chileno, where your provided gear gets a lot of use. You will have snorkeling equipment and paddle boards available, and you can decide who uses what and for how long.

What you can do here: snorkeling and swimming using the gear on board, plus paddle boarding if conditions feel comfortable.

Possible drawback: if your group has zero interest in being in the water, you might want to mentally budget for more scenic time here and less activity time than the gear suggests.

Stop 3: Medano Beach

Finally, you reach Medano Beach, which is where the energy of Cabo starts to feel closest to shore life. This stop is good for a relaxed final stretch, quick swims, or sitting back and letting the day wrap up in a calmer way.

Why it helps: it gives you variety. You start with Cabo’s icon, then shift to a more water-focused stop, then finish with beach atmosphere.

Whale watching is included as a licensed option, especially early

One of the more interesting parts of this charter is that the yacht is fully licensed for whale watching. That does not mean every single trip will guarantee whale sightings, but it does mean you can plan for a whale-focused day if your schedule allows.

The experience specifically mentions an option for early whale watching, plus alternatives like an early snorkeling and swimming outing. If you like the idea of trying for whales, you should pick the earliest time window your group can handle, because that is when these kinds of efforts usually have the best odds.

My advice for decision-making: if whales are your top goal, lean into the early timing. If you care more about swimming and snorkeling, prioritize the stops and water time, and use whale watching as an added possibility.

Snorkeling, paddle boards, and fishing, with the crew doing the heavy lifting

This is a “you choose what happens” charter, and the equipment supports that.

You will have:

• Snorkeling equipment
• Paddle boards
• Fishing gear

The best part is how the crew tends to run these activities. In a family outing account I read, fishing became a favorite because the crew handled the work, and the family could participate without turning the trip into a technical fishing class. That same group described cruising while fishing, and they also reported catching four fish so everyone had a chance to get involved.

That story tells you something important: this is not a charter where only the most experienced adult has fun. It is set up so your group can trade roles, take breaks, and still feel like they are doing the fun stuff.

Practical way to use this flexibility:

• If your group has mixed energy levels, send the snorkel crew at Playa el Chileno while others rest or paddle board.
• If you have kids, you can keep them in calmer water activities or just in the day’s rhythm, while adults do the more hands-on moments.

Price and value: $2,129 per group up to 10, with room to scale

The promotional price is $2,129 per group (up to 10), and it is framed as early bird. The catch is clear: it is valid on trips returning at 3 PM, and the experience has a 3-hour minimum.

Here is how I would think about value:

• You are paying for a private, full-crew experience on a large yacht, not a shared boat tour.
• You also get food and drinks service built into the experience, including chef-prepared meal plus appetizers and bartender cocktails.
• The provided gear (snorkeling, paddle boards, fishing gear) means you are not paying extra just to access the core “on-water” parts.

If your group includes 8 to 10 people, this can feel like a smart way to buy one “all-in” day at sea, rather than stacking separate charges for boat time plus meals plus activities.

If you are planning for more than 10, you should know this: the promo price includes up to 10 guests, and the yacht can hold up to 50 guests comfortably. For larger groups, you will need to message for a quote.

One more note that affects value: the experience has been booked far in advance on average (around 110 days). In plain terms, the best dates can go fast, especially if you are aiming for the 3 PM return window.

Booking, timing, and where your day can flex

This charter runs on a private model, so your group determines what you do and how long it lasts. That flexibility is especially useful if your group includes:

• multiple generations,
• people who want swimming and people who prefer scenic time,
• or anyone who gets tired faster than the rest.

The day is approximately 3 hours, and the minimum is 3 hours. In one family outing account, the trip described ran about 4 hours, which suggests your actual time on the water can stretch depending on how you use the day and how the crew manages the flow. So think of it as a half-day that can feel like “the whole day” for a group that is happy and not sprinting through everything.

You will receive confirmation after booking, and it is offered in English. The activity is also described as being near public transportation, which is handy if you are not driving.

And again, the experience needs good weather. If the day is unstable, you could be offered a different date or a full refund, so it helps to keep your schedule flexible.

Getting the most out of your Cabo yacht day (without overpacking)

This is an all-inclusive charter, so you will not be managing food plans on the fly. Still, you will have a better day if you prepare your body and gear for water time.

I recommend you plan on:

• swim-ready clothing and a cover-up for between water activities,
• sunscreen and a hat, since you will be outside a lot,
• water-friendly footwear if you want extra grip while moving around on the boat.

For anyone doing snorkeling or paddle boards, it is also smart to pick one or two main activities and not try to do everything at once. The whole point is that you can take your time, and you do not win points by maxing out every option.

Finally, if your group includes anyone under 18, remember alcohol is restricted to 18 and up. That does not affect the rest of the fun, but it shapes how you might plan the adult portion of the day.

Should you book Blue Moon Yacht for Cabo? (My call)

I would book this charter if you want a Cabo day that feels like it was built for your group, not for a crowd. The combination of private time, chef and mixologist service, and gear included makes it especially strong for families and mixed groups. And the on-the-water options, from snorkeling to paddle boarding to fishing, mean you can keep both active people and relaxed people happy.

I would think twice if:

• your schedule is tight and you need a specific return time that might not match the promo window,
• or your group cannot tolerate any weather uncertainty.

If you are the type who enjoys classic Cabo scenery but hates rigid itineraries, this is the kind of yacht day that can turn into the most memorable part of your trip.
