By group size
Thirteen private yachts in Cabo San Lucas take from 6 to 18 guests; 10 of them take 12 or more. Prices are per boat, not per person, so the same charter gets cheaper per head as the group grows: two hours on the Chaparral 28 are $519 USD (MXN 9,799) for up to 10, about $52 each, and two hours on the Pontoon 38 are $869 USD (MXN 16,599) for up to 18, about $48 each. The table below gives you the cheapest yacht that fits, a comfortable middle pick and the luxury pick for each group size, with the 16% tax included.
The direct answer
Up to 6 guests, the Bayliner 30 is the small boat with a cabin and a head, from $549 USD (MXN 10,499); for 8 it is the Bayliner 33 from $599 USD (MXN 11,399). The Chaparral 28 is the cheapest yacht in the fleet and takes 10.
For 10 to 12, you have eight yachts to choose from: the Sea Ray 36 from $659 USD (MXN 12,599) is the value pick with captain and deckhand, the Sea Ray 40 adds a flybridge, the Azimut 45 Flybridge adds two cabins and two heads, and the Sea Ray 65, the Azimut 70 and the McKinna 70 are the luxury end.
For 13 to 15, the Sea Ray 55 is the only yacht with air conditioning that takes 15, from $2,129 USD (MXN 40,399). For 16 to 18 it is the Pontoon 38, a double-deck party pontoon with a water slide, from $869 USD (MXN 16,599). Over 18, the group goes on two yachts that leave together, and we pair them for you.

On two yachts that leave together: pairing the Sea Ray 55 and the Sea Ray 65 gives 27 seats, and adding the Pontoon 38 takes you to 45. We stagger the departures by a few minutes so the boats meet at the Arch for the group photo and anchor side by side for the swim stop. Each yacht keeps its own captain and crew.
Per boat, with the 16% tax included. The per-person figures on this page are the boat price divided by the number of guests, so $869 USD (MXN 16,599) for two hours on the Pontoon 38 is about $48 each for 18 people before the customary 15% crew tip.
No. The number on each yacht is the maximum the Port Captain allows on board, crew not included, and the captain cannot leave the dock over it. If the group grows, we move you to a bigger yacht or add a second one.
