That first step onto the Number Juan is a wow moment. This 100-foot Azimut charter in Cabo San Lucas turns the Sea of Cortez into a private party with a personal chef, an open bar, and a crew that handles the details.

What I like most is the service and the food. You get a designated staff plus a bartender, and the chef builds your menu around what you want, including options for allergies or dietary restrictions.

One thing to consider is that this experience is weather-dependent. If conditions are rough, your sailing time can change or the charter can be canceled and rebooked or refunded.

Number Juan Quick Picks: What You’ll Feel Immediately

• Number Juan tequila in the open bar, plus a personal bartender to keep drinks flowing
• Private chef cooking on board, with menu-building and dietary accommodations

• Sunset and whale-sighting potential depending on the day and captain’s route

Why the Number Juan Yacht Feels Like a Floating Resort

This is not a simple boat rental where you bring your own snacks and figure out the rest. The Number Juan runs like a high-end day club at sea, with a professional crew and a full onboard service setup.

The big draw is the combination: top-shelf open bar paired with a private chef and personal staff. Even the ship’s identity comes through, since the open bar includes its namesake, award-winning Number Juan tequila. So you’re not just on a “pretty boat.” You’re on a well-run experience.

Another quiet advantage is that the boat itself is built for comfort. A 100-foot yacht gives you room to spread out, plus proper facilities so a long day doesn’t feel cramped. One group even celebrated across generations, from kids to seniors, and the setup worked for everyone.

Getting Aboard at Marina Cabo San Lucas (With Pickup From Your Villa)

Your charter starts at the Marina, Cabo San Lucas, B.C.S., Mexico, and ends back at the same meeting point. If you don’t want to think about logistics, you’ll appreciate that pickup is offered from your resort or villa.

In real-world terms, this matters because you can arrive together, settle in faster, and start enjoying the ride instead of hunting for parking or taxi lines. One party described transportation being taken care of for a group of eight, with the crew ready when they arrived.

You’ll also have a mobile ticket. That’s handy for groups, especially if you’re bouncing between dinner plans and departure time. Confirmation comes within 48 hours of booking, depending on availability, so you’re not left waiting too long to plan the rest of your trip.

The Private Chef Part: How the Food Actually Works on Board

The chef isn’t an afterthought here. You choose a menu from the options available when you book, and they’ll prepare a custom culinary experience on board using local seafood and fresh ingredients.

I love that they take food limitations seriously. The charter notes options for allergies and dietary restrictions, and on board this comes across as practical, not performative. One group talked about the chef preparing a full spread, including fajitas, sushi, guacamole, and more, with enough food for everyone and leftovers.

For you, this means the meal is part of the day’s rhythm. Instead of “snack and hope,” you get an actual dining moment that feels planned. And since the chef is working right there, the food timing tends to fit the cruise and swim stops.

Open Bar Plus Number Juan Tequila: The Best Kind of Effortless

If you like the idea of being handed drinks without a long line or a self-serve plastic cup situation, this is your setup. The yacht offers a personal bartender and an open bar featuring Number Juan tequila.

You can also pick the vibe a bit. One group mentioned choosing music, and the crew made it feel like your event, not a rigid schedule. The staff stayed quick and responsive, with drinks arriving fast when the party wanted a refresh.

A small detail I’d bank on: drinks taste better when you’re moving through sea air. Even if you’re not a heavy tequila person, the open bar makes it easy to build your own mix without stopping your day.

Kayaks, Paddleboards, Snorkel Gear, and a Sea Bob: The Water Toy Buffet

What makes this charter feel special is the time you can actually spend in the water. Included are kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear, and a Sea Bob—plus kayaks and boards aren’t just sitting there for show.

Safety and supervision seem to be a real priority. Groups specifically pointed out crew members supervising swimming so they felt comfortable in the water. If you’re bringing kids, want confidence for first-time snorkelers, or just don’t want to worry about who’s watching, that matters.

You’ll likely also get chances to do the fun stuff that feels like a vacation upgrade: jumping off the yacht, relaxing on swim mats, and cruising around on boards. One charter described having water activities available for a full range of ages, from 6 to 85, which is a strong sign the crew can adapt the experience.

Cruising the Sea of Cortez: Whales, Coast Views, and Smooth Sailing

You’re out on the water around Cabo San Lucas, with a route that can include coastal cruising and return back to the marina. One larger experience described sailing from San Jose to Cabo and back, with whales along the way. That’s not something you can schedule on demand, but it’s a nice reminder that timing and captain knowledge can turn a normal day into a memory.

Sunset is another highlight. One group called out spectacular views at sunset, and in Cabo that’s always a good bet when the weather cooperates. A smooth, well-handled ride also helps, and the captain is part of the reason people felt comfortable and impressed.

If you’re the type who likes scenery but also wants activity, this balances both. You’re not stuck staring at a horizon you can’t touch. You get to cruise, then drop into the water and use the included toys.

Four Hours or a Full Day: How to Pick the Right Length

The charter time ranges from about 3 hours to 1 day, so your decision should match your group style. A shorter charter works well if you want the highlights: check in, drinks, chef meal, swim time, and back to land without dragging the day.

A longer cruise is better if you want a slower pace and more water time. One group did a four-hour cruise from 3 to 7, and described it as the perfect amount of time. For you, that suggests four hours is a sweet spot: long enough for multiple water sessions, not so long that everyone starts running on half batteries.

Also consider who’s with you. One celebration included kids and older adults, so the crew’s ability to run the schedule at different energy levels can be a big plus. And if you’re planning a birthday or post-wedding celebration, longer time gives room for more photos, cake, and the unhurried flow that makes events feel special.

The Crew Makes It: Alex, Diego, Lupita, Letty, Saul, and Captain Gabby

On this charter, the staff isn’t just present. They run the show, and they seem to do it with a calm mix of friendliness and professionalism.

I noticed a pattern in the standout feedback: names kept coming up. Alex and Diego were highlighted for making sure everything went smoothly and keeping communication clear. Lupita and Letty were praised for drinks service and attentiveness. Chef Saul got credit for memorable cooking. And Captain Gabby was mentioned for smooth sailing and confident navigation.

There’s also a service detail I genuinely appreciate: the crew actively helped guests feel comfortable. One group even joked about a crew member cleaning sunglasses amazingly well. That’s the kind of small hospitality that signals they’re paying attention, not just moving through tasks.

And yes, safety gets mentioned. Multiple write-ups stressed the crew supervising water time and guiding guests during safety instructions. That’s what makes the included water toys feel like a benefit, not a risk.

Price and Value: What $4,925 Actually Buys You

The price is $4,925.00 per group (up to 10), which is a high-end number on paper. But it’s the type of experience where you should look at what’s wrapped into the price, not just the sticker.

For your money, you’re typically getting:

• a private chef cooking on board
• a personal bartender and open bar
• major water toy gear like snorkel equipment and paddleboards
• a full crew including dedicated staff and navigation

So you’re not comparing this to a standard boat tour. You’re comparing it to the real cost of coordinating a chef, drinks, transport, and a premium activity day without turning your trip into a logistics project.

Here’s a simple way to sanity-check value for you: if you’re filling it close to the “up to 10” idea, the math becomes about $492 per person before any local extras. That’s not cheap, but it can become reasonable when you realize many other “eat and drink” Cabo plans cost nearly that by the time you add a top dining experience plus drinks plus a private activity.

One caution: you’ll see reports of larger celebrations on board. If you’re planning a big group, confirm the right setup and capacity for your exact booking so expectations match the reality of your day.

Should You Book This Yacht Charter in Cabo?

Book Number Juan if you want a high-touch day: staff handling everything, food that’s built for your preferences, and water toys so the time doesn’t feel one-note. It’s especially strong for celebrations, multi-generational groups, and anyone who likes to eat well while still staying active.

Skip it if you’re the type who wants to drive the day yourself, or if you’re traveling with strict expectations about exact route timing. Also, because the experience is weather-dependent, you should be flexible enough to handle a possible date change.
