Private day charters out of Marina Cabo San Lucas — birthdays, bachelor weekends, snorkeling and the sunset run.
1 to 7 nights
Multi-night charters leaving Marina Cortez into a UNESCO World Heritage seascape — you wake up at anchor, not at a hotel.
Our home is Baja Sur. In Puerto Vallarta and Cancún we work with vetted local operators — same booking, same support, same standards.
Five routes we run all season out of La Paz. Tell us your days and we build the sixth.
Balandra, Isla Partida and two nights anchored at Ensenada Grande.
Isla Espiritu Santo, Isla Partida and swimming with the sea lions at Los Islotes.
Four nights off work with your people — Espíritu Santo, San Francisquito, Los Islotes and a free day at Ensenada Grande.
The long run north — Isla San Jose, Cerralvo and anchorages most boats never reach.
Ten nights off the grid, planned leg by leg and booked months out.
Prices are per group, not per person. APA (crew and fuel) is already inside the nightly rate. 16% tax applies to card payments and is waived in cash. MXN shown at an indicative rate of 18.
Both scores live on platforms we do not control. Open them and read the bad ones too.

See every questionAn 8-hour day charter out of La Paz on the Monte Fino 84 starts at $5,100 USD. Overnight charters start at $6,800 USD per night on the Lagoon 55 catamaran and reach $14,500 USD per night on the Azimut 90. That is the price for the whole yacht, not per person, and it already includes the APA — crew and fuel. Overnight charters run 1 to 5 nights.
Cabo day charters run 4, 6 or 8 hours. The Van Dutch 48 starts at $2,900 USD for up to 10 guests, the Sunseeker 80 at $5,550 USD for up to 16, and the Northern 130 at $14,500 USD for groups up to 20. Captain, crew, fuel and menu are inside those figures; 16% tax is added on card payments and waived in cash.
On every charter: a licensed captain and crew, fuel, a menu you choose, soft drinks and mineral water, snorkel gear, and paddleboards or kayaks on the yachts that carry them. Overnight charters add a private chef and full board with the APA already inside the nightly rate. Left out: crew tips (10-15% is customary) and 16% sales tax on card payments.
Yes — it is the route we run most. Marina Cortez to Isla Espiritu Santo is roughly 90 minutes under way, and Los Islotes, where the sea lion colony is, sits about 40 minutes past Isla Partida. It works as an 8-hour day charter, but the islands open up properly on 2 or 3 nights, when you anchor in the coves instead of turning around. Balandra is on the way out.
Our 3-night Sea of Cortez Signature is the one most guests book and the one we would pick ourselves: Espiritu Santo, Isla Partida and the sea lions at Los Islotes, from $10,400 USD per group. Two nights covers Balandra and Ensenada Grande from $7,500 USD. Five nights reaches Isla San Jose and Cerralvo from $15,500 USD — that is the one for people who want anchorages other boats do not reach.
Sleeping aboard, islands and whale sharks → La Paz, 1 to 7 nights through Espiritu Santo, Isla Partida and the northern islands. A celebration, a group that flew in for the weekend, El Arco and a snorkel stop → Cabo San Lucas, 4 to 8 hours. Same fleet standard, two different trips — and they are 2 hours apart by road if you want both.
Ask for six things, from us or from anyone else quoting you: a trademark on file (ours is IMPI-registered, 2021-2031), a legal entity that can take your money (YACHTSMX LLC in the US for USD), a written contract from a real booking system (in use since 2023), verified Instagram and WhatsApp, licensed bilingual crew, and an office you can walk into — ours are in La Paz and San Jose del Cabo. Superyachts are contracted under MYBA / CYBA terms.
October through June is the season worth planning around: flat water, warm swimming and almost no hurricane risk. Whale sharks feed off La Paz from October to April, and gray whales show up around Cabo January through March. July to September is hurricane season — we still sail, but bring flexible dates.
Day charters: 2 to 4 weeks out, but Christmas, New Year, Spring Break and July 4th need 2 to 3 months. Multi-night Sea of Cortez charters: 1 to 3 months. The 10-night Grand Voyage is planned 4 months ahead or more. Payment goes by bank transfer or wire in USD or MXN, Visa, Mastercard, Amex, or cash on arrival — cash skips the 16% IVA. A 50% deposit holds the date and the balance is due 14 days before departure.
