The short answer

When Discovery Princess is in Cabo, and for how long.

Discovery Princess (Princess Cruises) has 29 calls with published times in Cabo San Lucas between October 2026 and April 2027, on Mondays. On most of them it arrives at 12:00 PM and sails at 8:00 PM: 8 hours in port (7 to 8 hours depending on the date). It never stays overnight.

The pattern is Mondays, in between 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM and out between 8:00 PM and 9:00 PM. That is an afternoon call: the useful hours run into the evening, which is when the sun sets over the Arch.

Cabo is a tender port: the ship anchors in the bay and the tenders take 10 to 15 minutes to the landing on the south side of Marina Cabo San Lucas, the same marina where our yachts board: each one at its own dock, and your exact dock and a map link come on your boarding pass.

These times are published by third parties (the cruise lines and port calendars) and we checked them on 10 Oct 2026. They change during the season, so confirm them with your cruise line before you book anything around them. Every time here is Cabo time: Mountain Standard Time all year, with no daylight saving.

Your plan on the day

A private boat around the Discovery Princess schedule.

From the ship to the yacht

Mondays: the ship arrives at 12:00 PM. With the 10 to 15 minute tender and the line, count on being at the dock by 12:30 PM. It sails at 8:00 PM, so plan to be back at the dock by 7:00 PM: that leaves 6 h 30 min on the water.

Sunset before you sail

The sun sets between about 5:35 and 6:40 PM depending on the month, and you are back at the dock by 7:00 PM. A 2 hour cruise leaving at 5:00 PM passes Pelican Rock, the sea lions and the Arch in low light and comes back along Médano Beach. If you would rather go early, the same 2 hour route leaves at 12:30 PM and frees you from 2:30 PM for town.

With 4 hours: Santa María

With 6 h 30 min available, the 4 hour trip fits: leave at 12:30 PM, pass the Arch and run up the coast to snorkel Santa María Bay, with a swim stop on the way back, and you are at the dock by 4:30 PM, 2 h 30 min before your time to be back. Note: Santa María Bay is closed for snorkeling for now and we expect it to reopen in November (updated October 10, 2026); on calls before November the snorkel stop is Pelican Rock instead. Ask us.
