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.
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.
