Private Sunset Cruise in San José del Cabo
The Sea of Cortez, golden light and the boat entirely to yourselves. $450 USD for 1–2 people, $95 USD per additional guest, max 10.
Overview
$450 USD · 1–2 people · 2 hours
As the sun drops behind the Baja hills, the Sea of Cortez turns copper and the whole coastline softens. On the private sunset cruise the boat belongs to your group alone — no strangers, no shared playlist, no fixed script.
Music to your taste, guacamole, Mexican salsa and chicken taquitos on board, cold drinks and a crew that keeps everything running quietly in the background. It is the setting our guests choose for anniversaries, proposals and last nights in Los Cabos. Pricing is $450 USD for 1–2 people plus $95 USD per additional guest, up to a maximum of 10.
What to expect: an approximately two-hour private evening cruise on the calm waters of the Sea of Cortez off San José del Cabo, departing from Puerto Los Cabos Marina and timed precisely so you are on the water for the best golden-hour light. As the desert hills glow and the sky turns amber and rose, your crew serves guacamole, Mexican salsa and chicken taquitos with a premium open bar of margaritas, palomas, beer, soft drinks and water, while music to your taste sets the mood.
This is a romantic, relaxing experience with no physical effort — the difficulty level is easy and the cruise is suitable for all ages, making it ideal for couples, families and private celebrations. For your comfort and safety we provide a shaded boat with a restroom, life jackets and an attentive crew that handles every detail so your group can simply enjoy the evening. The best time for a sunset cruise in Los Cabos is year-round, with departure times that shift through the year to match the sunset.
Pricing is $450 USD for 1–2 people plus $95 USD per additional guest, up to a maximum of 10.

What guests say
“A fantastic snorkeling experience with Jonathan and Captain Ishmael of Openwater Expeditions. Jonathan was an excellent and knowledgeable guide about the area as well as the sea life. He never rushed us and kept trying to find more fish and sea creatures during the snorkeling. After about an hour in the water, we had lunch and cocktails before heading back to shore. Highly recommend!”

“We were taken to a secluded cove where there were no other boats so had the place to ourselves. The guide made sure we were in a place where we saw lots of fish. It was like swimming in an aquarium.”
