Your sunset route
Every charter departs from Marina Cabo San Lucas and follows the Land’s End coastline. Along the way you will see El Arco, Lover’s Beach and Divorce Beach, the sea lion colony and Neptune’s Finger. Your captain then positions the yacht so the sun sets behind the cliffs, the moment most guests come for, before cruising back into the marina as the lights of Cabo come on.
Because the yacht is private, the pace is yours. Stay longer for photos, turn the music up, or sit back on the bow with a margarita. Want time to swim? Add hours and start earlier with a snorkel stop in a calm bay before golden hour.
What to bring
- A light jacket: the breeze picks up after sunset
- Sunglasses and sunscreen for the first hour
- A fully charged phone or camera
- Cash for crew gratuity
- Swimwear if you add a swim stop
