Yacht charters in Cabo San Lucas
Otaduy Yachts runs private, crewed, all inclusive charters to Cabo San Lucas from Marina Puerto Los Cabos. The company is family owned, has operated its own fleet since 2003, and every yacht sails with its own captain and crew.
The route to the Arch
Charters depart Marina Puerto Los Cabos in San José del Cabo and run the corridor toward Cabo San Lucas. The route passes the coves of Palmilla, the marine sanctuaries at Chileno Bay and Santa María Bay, and Pelican Rock at the mouth of the Cabo San Lucas bay, before reaching the granite arch at Land’s End. From the water you approach the Arch the way it should be seen: past Lover’s Beach and the sea lion colony, with the captain holding position for photos away from the panga traffic.
Groups who want the full Cabo San Lucas experience finish at Médano Beach, the anchorage in front of the bars and beach clubs, with the swim platform down. Afternoon departures run the same route in reverse and end with the sunset behind Land’s End. You can plan the exact route yourself, stop by stop, with the itinerary builder, and the crew adjusts on the day to sea state and season.
Which yacht fits your group
The fleet is five yachts, all owned and operated by Otaduy, never brokered from third parties. For couples and small groups, Bésame, a 2024 Pardo 43, takes up to 10 guests along the corridor. For families and mid size groups, CIAO, a Pardo 50 with Seakeeper stabilization, takes 16, and Telemachus, a Nautitech 46 sailing catamaran, takes 18 under sail. For larger celebrations, Cardinale, an Azimut 70 Flybridge with four cabins, takes 20, and GO, the 112 foot Leopard flagship with a crew of eight, hosts up to 30 day guests with a waterslide off the upper deck.
What all inclusive means here
Every charter includes the captain and crew, fuel, food prepared aboard, open bar, and snorkeling gear. Water toys vary by yacht and are listed on each yacht page; the fleet carries Seabobs, stand up paddleboards, and on the larger yachts inflatable platforms and the waterslide. There is no fuel surcharge added afterward and no self skippered option: this is a crewed service, so nobody in your group needs a license or any experience on the water.
Pricing is per yacht and duration rather than per person, so a full group often costs less per guest than a shared party boat, with none of the crowd. Availability and quotes are confirmed directly by the team on WhatsApp or through the charter page.
Getting aboard
The marina berth is in San José del Cabo, about 40 minutes from downtown Cabo San Lucas by road. Ground transportation is arranged when you book. If you are staying at a resort along the corridor, the yacht can collect your group directly from the beach at Palmilla, Chileno, or Santa María, so the day starts at your hotel rather than at the dock. More on the coastline itself is on the Los Cabos destination page, and if you are weighing durations and group sizes, the yacht rental page breaks those down.
