Cabo San Lucas Yacht Charters: The Complete Guide by Size (2026)
Jun 19, 2026

A private yacht charter is the signature Cabo experience: cruising past the Arch, swimming off the back of the boat, and watching the sunset from the water. But the single biggest decision isn't the route or the catering, it's the size of the boat. Get the length right and everything else falls into place. This guide breaks down a Cabo yacht charter by size, from nimble day boats to full-blown superyachts, and matches each to the kind of group it's built for. Every boat below is a Baja Pass yacht partner available at 50% off.
Small yachts: 33–45 ft (couples, small groups, fishing)
If you're a couple, a small family, or a tight group of friends, a boat in the 33-to-45-foot range is the sweet spot. These are nimble, quick to the Arch, and the most budget-friendly way into a private yacht rental in Cabo. They're also ideal if you want to mix in some fishing, since a smaller, faster hull gets you to the action and back without burning your whole day. The Sea Ray family covers this tier end to end:
- 33' Sea Ray — the entry point, perfect for couples and quick Arch cruises
- 35' Sea Ray — a touch more room for a small group
- 38' Sea Ray — comfortable half-day cruising
- 42' Sea Ray — more deck space without going mid-size
- 43' Sea Ray — roomy enough for a fuller day on the water
- 45' Sea Ray — the top of the small-yacht tier, great all-rounder
Want to add rods to the trip? Pair a smaller charter with the offers on the Los Cabos fishing page for a half-day on the water that does double duty.
Mid-size yachts: 50–60 ft (bigger groups, more comfort)
Once you cross into the 50-to-60-foot range, the experience changes. You get more shade, more shaded lounge space, larger swim platforms, and the kind of interior that makes a full-day charter genuinely comfortable for a dozen or so guests. This is the tier most groups land on for a birthday, a bachelorette, or a special family day out. Your options:
- 50' Sunseeker — sleek British styling, great for entertaining
- 50' Azimut — Italian design with generous deck space
- 60' Azimut — the step up for larger groups who want room to spread out
Luxury superyachts: 75–100 ft (the showpiece charter)
For a milestone celebration, a corporate group, or simply the splurge of a lifetime, the 75-to-100-foot superyachts are the showpiece. Expect multiple decks, full interiors, and the wow factor that turns a day on the water into the centerpiece of the whole trip. Two flagships anchor this tier:
- 75' Sunseeker Manhattan — a true luxury cruiser with serious presence
- 100' Lady Katana — the superyacht, top of the fleet and unforgettable
How to choose the right size
A quick rule of thumb when you book a Cabo yacht charter by size: count your group, then add the vibe. Six or fewer who want speed and maybe some fishing? Stay in the 33–45 ft range. A dozen guests who want comfort and lounge space? The 50–60 ft tier. A celebration you'll be talking about for years? Go 75–100 ft. When in doubt, size up one notch, deck space disappears faster than you'd think once everyone's aboard. You can compare the full fleet on the Los Cabos yachts page.
