About this tour
When Sarah from our team chartered the Heather Nikki, an 80-foot Italian Azimut, it became clear this isn't your standard boat hire—it's a floating villa for up to 20 people along the Cabo San Lucas coast. The yacht carries four guest cabins, a sprawling salon, and plenty of deck space to sprawl across. Whether you're after a half-day buzz or a full overnight, there's a private chef, bartender, and water toys on standby. The vibe is relaxed luxury: you're not doing the work, the boat's doing it for you.

- Paddleboards and water toys included without extra cost
- Four separate cabins suit small group privacy or family trips
- Personalised bartender service with your drink preferences

- Flexible half-day or overnight options to suit your crew
What to expect
Sarah's experience kicked off with a relaxed boarding and crew orientation—nothing fussy, just a rundown of the yacht's layout and what's on offer. The day unfolded at a natural pace: settle into a cabin or claim a sunbed, order a drink, watch the coast slide by. The private chef manages lunch and dinner without you lifting a finger; snacks and coffee appear when you want them. The water toys—paddleboards especially—add a hands-on moment if you're keen, but they're optional. Evenings shift to a quieter mood if you're staying overnight; the salon becomes your gathering spot with the bartender mixing to order.
The Cabo coastline itself is the real draw: dramatic rocky formations, clear water in sheltered spots, and the sense you've genuinely left the shore behind. Groups tend toward couples, small families, and friends celebrating something. The crew stays professional and unobtrusive, which means you control the pace—as social or as chill as you like.
Good to know
This works brilliantly for groups wanting a single experience without coordinating separate restaurant bookings or split bills. The all-inclusive structure (meals, drinks, water activities) removes stress. Service animals are welcomed, and the yacht suits mixed fitness levels since you're not hiking or climbing.
Sea conditions off Cabo can be choppy; if you're prone to seasickness, negotiate calmer anchorages with the crew. The boat holds 20, so it's only truly private if your group books it entirely. Summer heat is intense on deck—bring high-SPF and seek shade during midday. Water toy access depends on weather and sea state, so don't bank on paddleboarding if conditions turn rough.
Bottled water, all alcoholic drinks, meals, snacks, and coffee are included. Bring sunscreen, a light layer for evening breeze, and swimwear. The yacht accommodates service animals. Public transport is nearby if you need to reach it independently. Half-day or full-day charters both work; clarify your preferred duration and any dietary needs when booking.
