Pricing
How Charter Pricing Works
There is no fixed public rate sheet, and that is deliberate. Boats can leave or join the fleet because of mechanical work, sales or repositioning, so a posted price list would go out of date quickly. Instead, every charter is quoted individually against the boats actually available for your date.
Tell us your date, your group size and what you have in mind. The charter team replies with the catamarans currently available, with descriptions, photos and pricing for your group, with no obligation.
Request Current PricingVessel selected
A sailing cat for 12 guests and an event catamaran for 120 sit in very different places, so the boat you choose is the biggest factor in any quote.
Group size
Your headcount determines which vessels can host you comfortably, and the team only quotes boats that genuinely fit your group.
Date and duration
Your charter date and how long you want on the water both shape the options and the pricing the team can offer.
Charter type
A relaxed snorkeling day, a sunset cruise and a full celebration are different kinds of charters, quoted for what they actually involve.
Food and beverage
Snacks, lunch, catering, bar service and chef service are arranged per charter, so your choices here can be reflected in the quote.
Special requests
Celebrations, decor, music plans and other custom details are discussed with the team and factored in where they apply.

Choosing the Right Catamaran
Fifteen catamarans and sailing vessels, from 12 guests to 120. Three broad styles cover most groups, and the fleet page shows every current boat with its capacity.
Sailing catamarans
Smaller groups who want time under sail and an easygoing day at Land's End and the bays. Capacities start at 12 guests.
Luxury catamarans
Added comfort and service for relaxed cruising, with chef and premium bar service available on the luxury boats.
Party and event catamarans
Big decks for big groups, built for celebrations and events of 40 guests and up, all the way to 120.
On the Water
Planning Your Day
Most charters follow a natural rhythm: out of the marina, along the Land's End coastline, then time at anchor. The captain confirms the exact route and stops based on safety and the conditions on the day.
Land's End and the Arch
The classic Cabo pass by the Arch and the sea stacks at the tip of the Baja peninsula, with time for photos from the water.
Swimming and snorkeling
Anchored time in bays such as Santa Maria Bay or Chileno Bay when conditions allow, for swimming and snorkeling in clear water.
Sunset cruising
Evening charters time the return for sunset over the Pacific side of Land's End, a Cabo specialty.
Seasonal whale watching
Whales migrate off Los Cabos in the winter months. Sightings are never guaranteed, but in season the crew knows where to look.
On Board
Food, Drinks and Music
What is served and how it is served depends on the vessel and the arrangement, so these details are confirmed per charter rather than assumed.
Food and beverage arrangements
Options across the fleet range from snacks and lunch to full catering, and luxury catamarans can add chef service and premium bar service. Mention dietary needs early and the team will tell you what each available boat supports.
Your own music
Many vessels let guests connect their own music, commonly through Bluetooth or an AUX connection, so your playlist can run the day. The exact setup varies by vessel, and the team confirms it with your quote.
Special Occasions
Celebrations and Custom Requests
Birthdays, anniversaries, weddings and corporate outings are a regular part of the calendar, and event focused catamarans carry up to 120 guests. Customization such as catering, music and decor is arranged with the charter team, quoted for your occasion rather than sold as a fixed package.

Common Questions
Charter Questions, Answered
The questions guests ask most before booking a private catamaran in Cabo San Lucas.
Current pricing depends on the vessel you choose, your group size, your date, the length of the charter and any food, beverage or special arrangements you request. Because the available fleet can change, we quote each charter individually. Send your date and headcount through the inquiry form and the charter team will reply with current boats, photos and pricing.
Boats can leave or join the fleet because of mechanical work, sales or repositioning, so a fixed public rate sheet would go out of date quickly. Quoting against the boats that are actually available keeps the information accurate, and it lets the team match the quote to your group and your plans instead of a generic package.
Your preferred date, your group size and the type of day you have in mind are the essentials. It also helps to know your approximate duration, whether you want food and drinks arranged, and whether the charter celebrates something specific. Share those details through the inquiry form, by phone or by email and the team will respond with options.
Yes. Every charter is private, reserved for your group only, with the captain and crew. There are no shared passengers and no strangers on board, so the pace, the music and the plan for the day belong to your group.
The fleet ranges from sailing catamarans for 12 guests up to event catamarans that carry as many as 120 guests, with many options in between. Whatever your headcount, there is usually more than one suitable boat, and the charter team can recommend the closest fit.
Start with your group size and the occasion. Sailing catamarans suit smaller groups who want time under sail, luxury catamarans add chef and premium bar service, and party or event catamarans fit bigger celebrations. The fleet page shows every current vessel with capacities, and the team can narrow the list once they know your plans.
Charters depart from the Cabo San Lucas marina, operated as IGY Marina, in Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur, Mexico. Exact dock and boarding details are shared when your booking is confirmed, and it is wise to arrive a little ahead of your departure time.
Most charters cruise the Land's End coastline for views of the Arch and the sea stacks, then anchor in a bay for swimming, snorkeling and relaxing on deck. Sunset cruises and seasonal whale watching are also popular. The captain sets the exact route and stops based on safety and the conditions on the day.
Snorkeling is a common part of Cabo charters, often at bays such as Santa Maria Bay or Chileno Bay when conditions allow. Stops always depend on the sea state and the captain's judgment on the day. Snorkel gear arrangements vary by vessel, so mention your interest when you inquire.
Almost every Cabo charter includes time along the Land's End coastline, where the Arch and the surrounding rock formations sit at the southern tip of the Baja peninsula. It is the classic photo stop of a Cabo boat day. As with all routing, the captain confirms the plan based on current conditions.
Yes, seasonally. Whales migrate through the waters off Los Cabos during the winter months, and charters in season often include time watching for them. Outside the migration season the focus stays on the coastline, swimming and snorkeling. Ask the team whether your dates fall within the season.
No. Whales are wild animals and sightings can never be guaranteed, even in peak season. What the crew can offer is local knowledge of where whales have been active and the patience to give you the best realistic chance on the day.
Food arrangements vary by vessel and charter. Options across the fleet range from snacks and lunch service to full catering, and luxury catamarans can add chef service. Tell the team what you have in mind when you inquire and they will explain what each available boat can offer.
Beverage arrangements also depend on the vessel and the charter. Many charters can include bar service, and luxury catamarans can offer premium bar service with crew preparing drinks on board. The exact setup for each available boat is confirmed during the quoting process.
Special requests can be discussed with the charter team, including catering for celebrations and attention to dietary needs within your group. What is possible depends on the vessel and the arrangements for your date, so raise it early in the conversation and the team will tell you what each option supports.
In most cases, yes. Many vessels in the fleet let guests connect their own music, commonly through Bluetooth or an AUX connection, so your playlist can set the tone for the day. The exact sound setup varies by vessel, so confirm it when the team sends your options.
Customization is the point of a private charter. Timing, the balance of cruising and swimming, food and beverage arrangements, music and celebration details can all be shaped around your group. Share your ideas when you inquire and the team will design the day with you.
Yes. Birthdays, anniversaries, weddings and corporate outings are regularly arranged, and event focused catamarans carry up to 120 guests. Details such as catering, music and decor can be customized with the charter team. Describe the occasion in your inquiry and you will receive options that fit it.
Bring swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses, plus a light layer for the breeze on the water. Most guests simply use their phones for photos. Everything else depends on your charter, so check the confirmation details the team sends for your specific boat.
