All-inclusive
Three ways to have the food and the drinks handled on a private yacht in Cabo San Lucas: the McKinna 70, with a chef cooking a multi-course menu on board and a crew of five, from $4,499 USD (MXN 85,499) for 3 hours; the Azimut 70, with a menu on board and complimentary beer and cocktails poured by its crew, from $4,199 USD (MXN 79,799) for 3 hours; and the Sea Ray 65 all-inclusive option with ceviche, sashimi, guacamole, nachos and sodas from $3,699 USD (MXN 70,299) for 3 hours. Every price is per boat with the 16% tax included.
The direct answer
Alcohol is never sold on a yacht here. On the Azimut 70 and the McKinna 70 the drinks are complimentary and the crew serves them; nobody will hand you a bar tab, and there is no package or price per drink to buy. On every other yacht, guests 18 and over bring their own and the cooler with ice is already on board.
The McKinna 70 is the only yacht with a chef included: welcome snacks and fresh guacamole, then a multi-course menu cooked on board, served by the crew. The Azimut 70 brings a set menu (fish ceviche, sashimi, beef or chicken fajitas, guacamole with chips) with complimentary beer and cocktails, water, sodas and ice; a chef on board is available for an extra charge.
The Sea Ray 65 sells both ways: boat only, or all-inclusive with ceviche, sashimi, guacamole, nachos, sodas and bottled water. It is the one to compare against bringing your own: four hours boat-only cost $2,999 USD (MXN 56,999), and adding the Mexican feast for 14 to 16 people from the menu in the planner (MXN 4,550, about USD 239, cash price) still lands under the $4,659 USD (MXN 88,599) all-inclusive rate, which also covers the sodas, the water and the service on board.

The fine print
The customary 15% crew tip. Extras such as a drone, flowers, a cake or hotel pickup are arranged on request and quoted separately. A DJ goes on yachts of 40 ft or more, from USD 399 for 2 hours (USD 649 for 3 hours on 50 ft and up, their minimum), plus USD 150 per extra hour, paid directly to the DJ. There is no dock fee on any of the three yachts.
On the other ten yachts you bring your own food and drinks, or order from Chef Benny's menu in the planner: breakfasts, box lunches, charcuterie boards and a Mexican feast for 6 to 8 (MXN 2,600) or 14 to 16 people (MXN 4,550). Menu prices are cash prices; paying by card adds 16%. Everything is loaded before you leave the dock.
No yacht sells alcohol, so there is no bar tab and no open bar to buy. The Azimut 70 and the McKinna 70 serve complimentary drinks as part of the charter. Everywhere else, guests 18 and over bring their own; every yacht has a cooler with ice.
Captain and crew, the 16% tax and the CONANP conservation fee for the Arch area. A professional photographer is an extra USD 180, paid directly to the photographer. If the Port Captain closes the harbor for weather, you move the date or get the payment back in full.

Usually, yes. Four hours boat-only on the Sea Ray 65 are $2,999 USD (MXN 56,999); adding the Mexican feast for 14 to 16 people from the menu (MXN 4,550, about USD 239) comes to less than the $4,659 USD (MXN 88,599) all-inclusive rate. The difference pays for the service on board and for not having to shop before the charter.
