Catamaran – Luxury Private Tour

Cabo on your own schedule. This private catamaran from Dejavu Yachts Cabo mixes big-photo moments with downtime on the water, plus cocktails and food included. You get guided narration as you pass iconic beaches, then real time at the Arch of Cabo San Lucas and in the bay for snorkeling and relaxing.

One thing to consider: it is priced per group, so the value clicks most when you fill enough seats (up to 14). Also, it is about 3 hours, so it is not a slow, all-day boat day.

Key highlights worth your attention

• Private boat for your group only, up to 14 people
• Arch of Cabo San Lucas photo stop with about 30 minutes and admission included
• Lovers Beach and Divorce Beach naming stories from the captain or sailor while you cruise by
• Snorkeling equipment included, plus a large floating lilly pad for easy hangout time
• Alcohol included with cocktail choice, along with soda and bottled water
• On-board photographer is part of the vibe for capturing the group

Private Cabo sailing on Dejavu Yachts Cabo: what you’re really buying

This is a luxury private tour setup, but the real win is how it removes the usual stress of group travel. You are not waiting around for strangers, and the crew can run the pace that fits your group, within the roughly 3-hour window.

You also get a “full experience” package instead of paying for fragments. Food and drinks are included, and so is snorkeling gear. That matters because boat days in Cabo can quietly add up once you start paying for entrances, drinks, and water toys.

Crew style is a big part of the day. In the feedback I’m seeing, the team comes across as accommodating and good at keeping a mixed-age group happy, from kids ready to jump to adults who just want a calm floating lounge.

Timing and the 3-hour flow: how the day fits together

The tour runs about 3 hours, give or take, and it is structured like this: you spend time cruising past the two famous beach spots for narration, then you hit the Arch for a dedicated photo window, then you anchor in the bay for water time and dinner.

That rhythm is actually smart if you want both “Cabo moments” and actual relaxation. A lot of tours cram in photos and then rush you off the water. Here, once you reach the bay stop, you get a solid block of time to snorkel, float, and eat.

A practical tip: bring a plan for your day. Since the tour is short, you’ll feel the difference if you schedule it earlier so you can keep momentum afterward, or later so you can enjoy it as your wind-down.

Lovers Beach and Divorce Beach narration while you cruise by

Before you even get to the big photo locations, you get the story part. As you pass Lovers Beach, the captain or sailor explains how it got its name, along with other local details.

Then you cruise by Divorce Beach, and you get the same kind of naming story and explanations tied to the rock formations you’re seeing around Cabo. The point is not just trivia. Hearing the background as you look at the coastline makes the whole area feel more connected, instead of being a set of random views you snap and move on from.

This is also one of the least physically demanding parts of the trip. You can stay comfortable, keep your eyes on the coastline, and still feel like you did something more than sit on a boat.

Arch of Cabo San Lucas: where the best photos usually happen

The Arch of Cabo San Lucas stop is your main “wow” and photo moment. You get about 30 minutes, and admission is included for that stop.

This is the kind of place where timing matters. Thirty minutes is long enough to reposition, get a few angles, and take your pictures without feeling rushed, especially if you have a group with different preferences. Some people want wide shots, others want tight rock detail shots, and a short photo window can frustrate a mixed group. Here, the dedicated time helps.

You’ll also get guided direction from the crew on where to stand and where to look. That’s useful because the Arch area has multiple viewing angles from the water, and knowing what to aim for makes your photos come out better.

Possible drawback: if you’re the type who wants long, slow sightseeing time on land, this won’t be that. It is a photo-forward stop from the water, and the emphasis stays on time on the bay afterward.

Cabo San Lucas Beach bay stop: snorkeling, the lilly pad, and party time

After the Arch, the tour anchors in the bay of Cabo San Lucas for about 2 hours of water fun. This is the “do stuff” portion, and it includes snorkeling equipment plus activities centered on marine life.

Even if you do not snorkel, you can still have a great time. The large floating lilly pad is built for relaxed hanging out, and it is the kind of space that keeps the group together. In the feedback, kids and some adults were jumping off the boat, while others preferred staying on the lilly pad. That split is a common family pattern, and the setup supports it.

You’ll also have a food moment here. Dinner is served onboard, and it’s timed so you do not have to choose between eating and enjoying the water.

One thing to keep in mind: you are in open water. Bring sun protection and plan for salt spray. If you tend to get cold easily on boats, you might want a light layer, since Cabo winds can change how it feels once you’re moving.

Included dinner and drinks: the value math actually works

For the money, the best part is how the included package reduces surprise costs. Dinner is served onboard with beef and chicken fajitas, plus beans, Mexican rice, flour and corn tortillas, and hot green sauce. That is more like a real meal than a token snack.

On drinks, alcohol is included with a choice of cocktails, plus soda, and bottled water. In the feedback, people called out margaritas and beer as being part of the flow, and that matches the “open drinking included” feel.

Here’s the value angle for you: pricing is $2,200 per group (up to 14). That means your per-person cost depends on how many people you bring. If you can fill the group, it becomes much more reasonable than paying a couple hundred per person on a smaller boat where food and drinks are extra.

If you show up with just a couple people, the price can still be fair for comfort and privacy, but you may feel it more. If you want this to feel like a bargain, it helps to book with a group of friends, a family, or a multi-generational crew.

What the private format changes for your group

A shared tour can be loud, fast, and hard to personalize. This private format means your group stays together, and your crew can manage the pace without worrying about other schedules.

In the feedback, the boat handled a mixed set of ages, including seniors, adults, teens, and toddlers. The important takeaway for you is that there are zones for different energy levels. Kids can jump in, adults can float, and everyone can still hear the narration when they want it.

The restroom onboard also helps make the trip smoother, especially on a short, timed itinerary. Nobody wants to cut the fun short because a basic need became a big hassle.

Who should book this catamaran (and who might want a different style)

This tour is a strong fit if you want:

• A private boat with a simple plan
• Included food and drinks, especially cocktails
• Time at iconic Cabo views, like the Arch
• Real water time, with snorkeling gear and a floating hangout platform

It is also a good pick for people who prefer structured fun. The itinerary is tight and clear, so you spend less time figuring out what to do and more time enjoying it.

You might want a different option if:

• You want a long on-land tour with walking and shopping
• You hate snorkeling or water activities and mainly want pure sightseeing from shore
• You are booking just a small party and want the lowest per-person cost

Practical tips to get the most out of your 3-hour boat day

Bring swimwear you can easily change into and out of. If you plan to snorkel, rinse your goggles or any reusable gear after you get back from the water.

Use sunscreen before you board. Once you’re out in the bay, you’ll have less control over reapplying, and sun can be sneaky even when you feel cooler on the water.

If your group includes kids, assign roles early. Tell the kids where they can stay safe, where they can jump, and where adults are relaxing. The lilly pad works best when it’s treated like the group lounge rather than an everything-at-once platform.

For photos, remember this tour is built around photo stops. If you care about getting your best shot at the Arch, bring your phone strap or keep your camera stable, and follow crew direction for angles.

Price and logistics: when $2,200 per group feels worth it

At $2,200 per group up to 14 people, you’re paying for privacy and a packaged experience. That price includes dinner, snorkeling equipment, the lilly pad time, and alcohol with cocktail choice.

So, the value depends on how you think about your day:

• If you were going to pay separately for drinks, meals, and water activities, the package starts to make sense fast.
• If you want a private boat without the planning headache, the cost feels more justified.

Booking timing also hints at demand. This type of tour is often booked about two months in advance on average, so if your dates are fixed, it’s smart to lock it in sooner rather than later.

Should you book this private Cabo catamaran?

If your goal is a fun, easy Cabo outing with iconic views, included food and cocktails, and time to snorkel and float, I think this is an excellent match. The biggest strengths are the private group setup, the Arch photo stop, and the fact that you’re not paying extra once you’re onboard because dinner, drinks, and snorkeling equipment are part of the package.

I’d only hesitate if your group is small and you’re chasing the lowest per-person deal, or if you want a longer land-based sightseeing day. For most people, especially families and groups who want comfort and a simple plan, this is one of the cleaner ways to enjoy the water in Cabo.
