About this tour
When Ben from our team chartered the Number Juan, a 100-foot Azimut, it felt less like renting a boat and more like inheriting a floating resort off Cabo. The yacht sleeps up to 30 guests across four cabins—including two master suites—and comes fully crewed: private chef, bartender, and deck staff handling the lot. You're anchored in serious Cabo waters with kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel kit, and even sea bobs on tap. The vibe is upscale-but-relaxed, drawing everyone from groups celebrating milestones to families after proper downtime. Available for 3-hour stints up to full overnights.
Highlights
- Private chef cooking lunch and dinner onboard; open bar kept flowing throughout
- Two master suites plus cabins mean proper sleeping space, not cramped berths
- Snorkel gear and paddleboards ready to go; no haggling for rentals elsewhere
- Media room onboard for downtime when the sun gets too much
- Designated staff handled everything—anchoring, drinks, cleanup—so guests actually relaxed
- Sea bobs (jet-ski chairs) a genuine novelty; kayaks useful for exploring shallows
- Cabo waters calm enough for mixed fitness levels; no white-knuckle moments
What to expect
The day starts with a smooth handover once you're onboard—the crew knows the drill and won't hover annoyingly. If you're doing the full overnight, you settle into your cabin, then head topside for snorkelling or paddling depending on the anchorage. The chef preps lunch around midday (proper meals, not sad sandwiches), and the bartender's mixing drinks before you ask. Afternoons drift between the water, the sundeck, or the media room if anyone needs a break. By evening, dinner's a proper spread, and if you're staying the night, the yacht becomes genuinely peaceful—the motion and ocean sounds actually sleep-inducing.
Ben reckoned the standout was how seamless the crew made everything. No scrambling for snorkel gear, no one arguing about who's refilling drinks. The Cabo anchorages are solid for families and mixed-fitness groups; the water's warm and clear, not temperamental. One real-world thing: 30 guests max means you need your crew organised, and group dynamics matter more on a yacht than a beach. If it's a mixed-age trip or people who don't know each other well, some downtime structure helps.
Good to know
If you've got a milestone (wedding, 40th, reunion) or you want proper cooking and a bartender without leaving your group, this is a proper step up from a fishing charter. Suits family groups, friend circles, or corporate teams after something memorable. The overnighter option means you wake up anchored offshore—genuinely different from a day boat. All food and drink included takes the haggling out.
Peak summer gets crowded at popular Cabo anchorages—you're not alone out there. The full yacht capacity (30 guests) means space gets tight once everyone's topside; expect bumping elbows by mid-afternoon. Sea sickness isn't common in Cabo's protected waters, but heavy swells can catch you. Walking on a boat deck takes care, especially after drinks. Pricing lands firmly in the premium bracket—it's a treat, not a budget play.
Bring sunscreen and a rash guard if you burn easily; the deck offers some shade but not endless cover. Swimwear, reef-safe sunscreen, and a towel are the essentials—everything else is sorted. Service animals are welcome. Public transport to the marina exists, though most book transfers. Suitable for mixed fitness levels, though boarding does involve a small climb. Peak season books out weeks ahead.
