Every Cabo trip starts on the water. The marina is the town's front door — hundreds of boats departing daily for El Arco at Land's End, Lovers Beach, snorkeling bays, sunset dinner cruises, and whale watching expeditions. Glass-bottom boats for twenty dollars, luxury catamarans with open bar and chef-prepared lunch, private yacht charters for your group alone. The Pacific on one side, the Sea of Cortez on the other, and the Arch framing the meeting point.
El Arco & Lovers Beach
El Arco is the natural stone arch at Land's End — where the Pacific meets the Sea of Cortez. Glass-bottom boats cruise past the sea lion colony and through the arch. Water taxis drop you at Playa del Amor (Lovers Beach), a crescent of sand between the two oceans. On the Pacific side, Divorce Beach has dramatic surf and no swimming — a spectacular contrast.
Sunset Cruises
Cabo sunsets are legendary — and they are best experienced from the water. Sunset cruises range from casual catamarans with open bar and DJ to luxury yacht dinners with multi-course meals prepared on board. All pass El Arco at golden hour, when the arch glows against the setting sun. Two-hour cruises depart around 5 p.m. (winter) or 6 p.m. (summer).
Catamaran & Sailing Tours
For a full day on the water, catamaran and sailing tours combine sightseeing, snorkeling at one or two bays, lunch, and open bar in a single trip. Luxury catamarans carry 14–50 passengers with padded sunbathing decks, onboard chef, and snorkel gear included. Private charters are available for groups wanting exclusivity.
