Steel Aweigh 65ft Sea Ray Yacht Rental

A private yacht charter gives you Cabo San Lucas from the water, with room for your own group and a crew focused on making the day easy. On Steel Aweigh, you can plan a seafood menu before setting out, then spend your time aboard with an open bar, paddleboards and water toys. Whales have been spotted on some trips, but wildlife is never guaranteed.

I like two things here: the chance to shape the menu around your group, including food allergies or dietary restrictions, and the dedicated crew, with two Fernandos and Brian often named for their attentive service. A personal bartender and Chef Omar are also part of the experience on some outings.

The main consideration is the price: $3,250 for up to 10 people is a serious spend for a short charter, and the listed duration ranges from three hours to a full day. It makes the most sense when you can share the cost with a group and use enough of the time aboard.

The details that matter before you book

• A private charter for up to 10: The listed rate is $3,250 per group, not per person. At a full group of 10, that works out to $325 each.
• A menu planned with the crew: You can work with the team after booking to choose from the available menu. Food allergies and dietary restrictions can be accommodated.
• A staffed yacht, not just a boat rental: The package includes designated staff, a personal bartender and an open bar.
• Three staterooms aboard: The yacht has three staterooms, along with paddleboards and onboard water toys.
• The route and length are flexible: The charter lasts about three hours to one day. Specific stops and a set itinerary are not provided, so ask what can fit your preferred length.
• Depart and return at Cabo San Lucas Marina: The meeting point is in Centro at the marina, and the activity ends back there.

Boarding at Cabo San Lucas Marina

Your trip starts at Cabo San Lucas Marina, in the Centro area. The charter returns to the same meeting point, which keeps the start and finish simple: no separate drop-off location to plan around.

Pickup is offered, but the details are not specified. I would confirm what pickup means for your group, including where it is available and whether it changes your meeting arrangements. The marina is near public transportation, though the information provided does not spell out specific routes.

The yacht is a 65-foot Sea Ray, large enough to include three staterooms and dedicated staff. That changes the feel of the outing compared with a basic boat rental. You are not expected to captain the boat or manage the bar and meal yourself; the crew is there to handle service while you spend time with your group.

After booking, allow up to 48 hours for confirmation, and note that it is subject to availability. The charter is booked, on average, 22 days ahead. That is useful planning context, not a guarantee that every date will sell out, but I would reserve early if your Cabo dates are fixed.

A flexible trip, not a fixed sightseeing loop

The listed duration starts at about three hours and can extend to a full day. No detailed route or promised sequence of stops is provided, so do not book expecting a particular landmark, beach stop or wildlife sighting. Think of this as private time on the water with your own group, supported by the crew and the activities available aboard.

That flexibility can be a real advantage. A short outing can suit a sunset cruise or a special meal at sea, while a longer charter gives you more time to enjoy the yacht and its water toys. One group described snorkeling during their trip, but snorkeling gear is not specifically listed as an included feature. Ask the operator what equipment is available before you count on it.

The most striking wildlife moment reported on a trip was the sight of more than 20 whales. Other groups also saw whales, but no charter can promise that. Treat a sighting as a memorable bonus, not the reason to pay for the trip. The crew has been praised for explaining marine life, so if you do see wildlife, you can ask about what is around you.

Views from the water are another part of the appeal. One outing included good coastal views as well as whale watching and snorkeling. Since the exact route depends on the trip, check with the operator about what is realistic for your chosen duration and conditions.

Good food and a bar with a personal touch

The meal is more than a standard snack basket. The team offers a menu based on local seafood and ingredients, and you work with them after booking to select what suits your group. That gives you a chance to match the meal to the occasion, whether you are planning a birthday, a family outing or a sunset dinner.

Food allergies and dietary restrictions can be accommodated, but tell the operator when arranging the menu rather than waiting until boarding. The available options are not specified in advance, so ask what dishes can be prepared for your needs and when the final choices are due.

Food quality is one of the most consistently praised parts of the trip. Some outings have included Chef Omar, and guests have called the food fantastic and memorable. The exact menu will depend on the choices you make with the team, so I would not assume a particular dish comes with every booking.

The personal bartender and open bar make the outing feel like a hosted occasion. That can be especially appealing when your group wants a relaxed meal without assigning one person to pour drinks or keep track of service. The precise drink list is not given, so ask about what is included if your group has specific preferences.

The crew is a major part of the value

A yacht can be beautiful and still feel impersonal. Here, the crew seems central to the experience. Fernando, Fernando and Brian are frequently praised for being attentive, kind and fun, while also taking care of the practical details. Some trips have included Chef Omar as well.

That level of service matters on a private charter. You are sharing several hours in a confined space with your group, so a crew that anticipates needs and keeps the mood comfortable can make the day feel special rather than merely expensive. The team has also been praised for making celebrations feel personal, a useful point if you are booking for a birthday or another milestone.

The crew’s marine-life explanations are another plus. If wildlife appears, you can get more from the moment than a quick photo. Still, the people named in past outings should not be treated as a guaranteed lineup for your date. If a particular crew member matters to your plans, ask the operator before booking.

What $3,250 buys your group

At $3,250 for up to 10 people, the charter is a premium outing. Divide the price among 10 and it comes to $325 per person. With fewer people, the per-person cost rises, so the value improves when you have a larger group ready to share the boat.

You are paying for a private yacht with three staterooms, designated staff, a personal bartender, an open bar, paddleboards and onboard water toys. The ability to plan a menu with the team also adds value, especially for groups with dietary needs or a special occasion in mind. This is not simply the cost of a boat ride; it bundles service, food planning and time aboard into one private outing.

The value depends on how you use the time. If you want only a brief ride, the cost may be hard to justify unless the occasion matters to you. If you have a full group, want a meal and drinks on the water, and expect to spend several hours enjoying the yacht, the price is easier to understand. Check exactly what food and beverages are included before you finalize your budget, since the details of the menu and bar are not specified.

Who should book Steel Aweigh

This charter suits a group that wants privacy and a hosted day, rather than a low-cost shared excursion. Couples can book a sunset dinner, families and friends can celebrate together, and a birthday group can make the boat itself part of the occasion. The open bar, custom menu and attentive staff are especially useful when nobody in your group wants to play event planner all afternoon.

It is also a good fit if your group values flexibility. The duration can run from three hours to a full day, and paddleboards and water toys offer more to do than simply sit aboard. If snorkeling is high on your list, confirm what equipment is available and whether the crew can include it in your plans.

You may want a different option if you are traveling alone or as a couple and would rather pay for a seat on a shared boat. This is priced by the group, so the economics work best when you have enough people to split the rate. It may also disappoint if you expect guaranteed whale sightings or a specific route; neither is promised.

Booking, weather and practical notes

Confirmation is expected within 48 hours of booking, subject to availability. The charter requires good weather. If poor weather leads to cancellation, you will be offered another date or a full refund.

You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before departure are not refundable, and changes inside that 24-hour window are not accepted. Cut-off times follow local time in Cabo San Lucas.

Service animals are allowed, and most people can participate. If you have a specific mobility or other access question, contact the operator before booking, since detailed access information is not provided. English is offered, and the ticket is mobile.

Should you book this Cabo yacht charter?

Book Steel Aweigh if you have a group to share the cost, want private time on the water, and care about attentive service, food and drinks as much as the boat itself. The menu planning, personal bartender, open bar and well-regarded crew give the charter a clear identity: it is a hosted outing, not just transportation around the bay.

Before paying, settle three points with the operator: the length and route you want, the exact menu and bar inclusions, and whether snorkeling equipment is available if you plan to snorkel. If the answers suit your group and you can make good use of several hours aboard, the price can buy a memorable shared occasion. If you are mainly chasing a guaranteed whale sighting or a quick, inexpensive boat ride, choose something less costly.
