Our Story

A family built on
the love of the sea

Private Yachting Club was founded in 2009 as a family business — built not around a fleet of vessels, but around a philosophy of hospitality. The founding family brought more than fifteen years of experience in high-quality client service and a deep familiarity with the waters of the Sea of Cortez before opening P.Y.C to the world. What began as a singular commitment to exceeding expectations on every charter has grown into one of the most respected yacht charter operations in Los Cabos.

The family-owned structure of P.Y.C is not incidental — it is fundamental to what makes the experience different. Decisions about the fleet, the crew, the culinary programme, and the guest experience are made by the people whose names and reputations are attached to every charter. There is no corporate layer between the founding vision and the guests who board at Cabo Marina. The attention to detail, the genuine warmth of the crew, and the consistent standard of excellence across every charter are direct expressions of that ownership.

Today, P.Y.C operates a fleet of eight vessels ranging from the intimate Sundancer 35FT to the extraordinary 252FT La Datcha, and serves guests from across North America and the world who come to Cabo San Lucas seeking something more than a tour — an experience that genuinely changes how they see the ocean, the Baja coastline, and what a private charter can be.

Our Values

The principles behind
every charter we run

Harmony

Through trust and integrity we create a caring working environment — for our crew and for every guest who boards with us.

Originality

Through innovative ideas we identify creative solutions, shaping each charter as a truly individual experience rather than a repeatable tour.

Uniqueness

We dexterously craft a fervent hospitality that goes beyond service — each detail considered, each moment designed to feel entirely one-of-a-kind.

Charisma

We proactively anticipate our guests' needs before they arise, so that every request is met before it's made and every moment feels effortless.

Our Vision

To be the guests' first choice —
creating everlasting memories
through unmatched,
personalized service.

What this means in practice

The vision statement of Private Yachting Club is not aspirational language — it is a daily operational standard. Every captain, crew member, chef, and coordinator at P.Y.C works within a framework designed to produce one outcome: a guest who boards the vessel with high expectations and leaves with those expectations exceeded in ways they didn't anticipate. That consistency, across every vessel in the fleet and every type of charter, is what has made P.Y.C the first choice for returning guests and the most recommended charter operation in Los Cabos.

Personalization is not a feature at P.Y.C — it is the default. The fleet's diversity, the culinary team's flexibility, and the crew's deep knowledge of the waters surrounding Cabo San Lucas all exist in service of this one purpose: building an experience that is entirely, specifically yours.

The Culinary Team

World-class chefs,
exceptional Cabo yacht cuisine at sea

Among the defining features of a Private Yachting Club charter is the culinary programme. P.Y.C partners with an exceptional culinary team to bring restaurant-quality dining to the open water of the Sea of Cortez — with menus designed around each group's preferences, prepared fresh on board, and served at a standard that would be remarkable in any fine dining establishment on land.

Executive Chef
Chef Antonio
Mexico

Chef Antonio brings deep roots in Mexican culinary tradition to every charter menu — combining the finest local ingredients with classical technique to produce dishes that feel entirely of this place. His expertise in coastal Mexican cuisine and Baja seafood creates a dining experience that is both world-class in execution and authentically local in spirit.

Executive Chef
Chef Sébastien
Italy

Chef Sébastien brings European precision and Italian culinary philosophy to the P.Y.C table — a deep respect for quality ingredients, classical preparation, and the kind of restraint that allows exceptional produce to speak for itself. His presence aboard creates a dining dimension that surprises guests who expected something simpler from a yacht charter.

Menus are designed collaboratively with each group in advance — dietary requirements, preferred cuisines, and occasion-specific requests all accommodated. Example meal styles and seasonal availability are confirmed with our team when you enquire.

Why guests choose P.Y.C
for their Cabo charter

Family ownership, professional standards

When you book with Private Yachting Club, you are booking directly with the family whose reputation is on the line for every charter they run. There is no franchise model, no central dispatch, and no intermediary between the founding vision and your experience on the water. The standards applied to every vessel, every crew, and every guest interaction are set and enforced by the same people who started this company in 2009 — and they have been refining those standards for fifteen years.

Corporate charter operations can offer scale, but they rarely offer the kind of accountability that comes with family ownership. At P.Y.C, when something exceeds expectations — which is consistently the case — it is because the people responsible for your charter genuinely care about the outcome. That care is expressed in the details: the quality of the provisions, the briefing before departure, the flexibility of the crew, and the quiet attentiveness that characterizes every hour spent on a P.Y.C vessel.

A crew that cares about your experience

The crew aboard any P.Y.C charter vessel are not simply employees completing a shift — they are professionals who have chosen to build their careers in one of the most beautiful maritime environments in the world, and whose satisfaction comes directly from the quality of the experience they deliver. Your captain brings deep knowledge of the Sea of Cortez: its currents, its anchorages, its seasonal conditions, and the specific positions that produce the best views of El Arco, the Pacific horizon, and the Baja coastline at different times of day.

That local expertise is genuinely irreplaceable. Knowing where to anchor for the calmest water, which passage produces the best wildlife sightings at a given time of year, and how to read the afternoon light to position the vessel for the most extraordinary visual experience — these are things that fifteen years of operating on these waters produces, and they are carried by every captain and crew member in the P.Y.C fleet.

Cabo San Lucas

The most extraordinary waters
in all of Mexico

The Sea of Cortez — the world's aquarium

Jacques Cousteau called the Sea of Cortez "the world's aquarium," and the waters that surround Cabo San Lucas remain among the most biologically rich and visually spectacular in the world. The convergence of the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of California at the tip of the Baja California Peninsula creates an extraordinary marine ecosystem — one that supports humpback whales, whale sharks, manta rays, sea lions, and hundreds of species of fish, all within reach of a day charter from Cabo Marina.

The natural setting that surrounds every P.Y.C charter is not incidental to the experience — it is the foundation of it. The dramatic desert landscape of the Baja Peninsula meets the water at rocky headlands and hidden coves. El Arco rises from the sea at Land's End as one of the most iconic natural formations in all of Mexico. The light on the Sea of Cortez in the late afternoon is unlike anything available on land, and it is the backdrop against which every P.Y.C charter unfolds.

15+ years on these waters

Private Yachting Club has been operating on the Sea of Cortez for more than fifteen years — long enough to develop an understanding of these waters that goes well beyond what any map or guidebook can provide. The team knows the seasonal patterns of the marine life, the tidal rhythms of the inner bay, the anchorages that offer shelter in changing conditions, and the routes that deliver the most spectacular views of the Baja coastline at every time of year. That accumulated knowledge is embedded in every charter P.Y.C runs.

For guests who come to Cabo San Lucas seeking a genuinely exceptional time on the water, this experience matters enormously. The difference between a charter that delivers what it promises and one that delivers something beyond expectation is often the captain's knowledge of precisely where to be, and when. P.Y.C's captains have been refining that knowledge on the Sea of Cortez for well over a decade, and they bring it to every departure from Dock M-O.
