A private yacht charter with Private Yachting Club is exactly what the name promises — the entire vessel, its crew, and the full experience reserved exclusively for you and your guests. No shared excursions, no strangers on deck, no compromises on timing or itinerary. From the moment you step aboard at Cabo San Lucas Marina to the moment you return, the yacht is yours.
Our fleet ranges from 35-foot sport yachts perfect for couples or small groups to 252-foot superyachts capable of hosting large parties in genuine luxury. Every charter includes a professional captain and crew, all food and beverages from the moment you board, safety equipment, fuel, and a customizable itinerary across some of the most spectacular waters in the world. Pricing starts at $850 per hour with a 3-hour minimum — and because we price by the yacht rather than per person, larger groups often find private charter surprisingly affordable per head.
Whether you're planning a sunset cruise, a full-day adventure to Cabo Pulmo, a whale watching expedition during the winter season, or a corporate event on the water, a private charter gives you the flexibility and exclusivity that no other experience can match.

A private yacht charter in Cabo San Lucas typically takes in some of the most photographed landmarks in Mexico — the natural arch of El Arco at Land's End, the sea lion colony on the surrounding rocks, the pristine white sand of Lover's Beach accessible only by water, and the dramatic meeting point of the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez. Depending on your chosen duration, we can extend the itinerary northward along the Baja coast to more remote anchorages, snorkel sites, and hidden coves.
Our captains know these waters intimately — the best anchorages for swimming and snorkeling, the positions that catch the best sunset light, and the seasonal routes that offer the highest probability of wildlife sightings including dolphins, sea turtles, manta rays, and humpback whales in season (December through April). Your itinerary is built around your preferences, not a fixed schedule.
Fully private means the yacht is reserved exclusively for you and your guests — no other passengers, no shared excursions, and no shared crew attention. The captain, crew, itinerary, and timing are all dedicated to your group for the duration of the charter.
Yes. All food and beverages are included from the moment you board. This includes a full bar, snacks, meals (depending on charter length), and non-alcoholic drinks. There are no surprise charges for food and beverage on board.
We recommend booking at least 48–72 hours in advance, though last-minute bookings are sometimes possible. For peak season (December–April) and larger yachts, booking 1–2 weeks ahead is advisable to secure your preferred vessel and date.
Absolutely. Your captain will work with you before departure to plan an itinerary based on your interests — snorkeling, whale watching, swimming at Lover's Beach, sunset positioning, or simply cruising. The route is always flexible and adjusted based on sea conditions and your preferences on the day.
Yes. All our charter rates are per yacht, not per person. This means a group of 8 on a $850/hr yacht pays $850/hr total — not $850 each. It's one of the reasons private charter is often more affordable than people expect for groups of 6 or more.
Cabo San Lucas is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Mexico, and the waters around Land's End and El Arco can be busy with shared tour boats and water taxis. A private yacht charter gives you immediate separation from that environment. You depart from your own section of the marina, cruise at your own pace, and anchor wherever and whenever you choose — without waiting for other passengers or following a predetermined group schedule.
The difference in experience is profound. When your yacht anchors in a quiet cove off the Sea of Cortez and the engine cuts out, what you're left with is the sound of the water, the warmth of the sun, and complete stillness. No announcements, no tour guide commentary, no strangers. That quality of solitude and presence is simply not available on a shared tour.
Jacques Cousteau famously described the Sea of Cortez as "the world's aquarium," and the waters around Cabo San Lucas deliver on that description. Humpback whales migrate through the area from December through April. Whale sharks gather in the bay seasonally. Manta rays, sea turtles, dolphins, and hundreds of species of fish populate the coral reefs and open water throughout the year. On a private charter, when your captain spots wildlife, the yacht goes to meet it — on your schedule, at your pace.
Private Yachting Club has been operating in Cabo San Lucas since 2009. Our captains know these waters with the familiarity that only years of daily operation can produce — where the whale sharks tend to gather, which snorkel sites are clearest in which season, and how to time a cruise to catch the most spectacular light over El Arco. That local knowledge is part of what you're booking when you charter with us.
