Can we do a private sunset cruise on the Phoenix or a yacht?

Yes — book a private sunset cruise in Cabo San Lucas aboard a luxury yacht or the Phoenix sailboat. Departures are timed about an hour before sunset so you cruise past The Arch in golden hour light and stay out for the actual sunset. Every charter is 100% private — your group only.

What is included on a Cabo sunset cruise?

Every private sunset cruise includes a bilingual captain and deckhand, fuel, and use of the vessel exclusively for your group. Most charters also include an open bar (beer, spirits, mixers), light snacks, and a Bluetooth sound system. Inclusions vary slightly by boat — your quote will confirm exactly what's included on your chosen vessel.

Is the sunset cruise private?

Yes — 100% private. No strangers, no shared deck. The entire boat is yours for the duration of the cruise, whether you bring 2 guests or 20.

How long is the sunset cruise?

Most Cabo sunset cruises run 2 to 2.5 hours, departing about an hour before sunset. We can extend to 3+ hours on request. Winter sunset departures are typically around 4:00–4:30 PM; summer departures are later.

What is the best time of year for a Cabo sunset cruise?

Sunset cruises are spectacular year-round in Cabo San Lucas. December through April offers the added bonus of humpback whale sightings during the cruise. October and November bring calm seas and vivid sunsets — a favorite with couples and photographers.

Is transportation to the marina included?

Round-trip private hotel transportation is available for $140 USD when you book. It is not included in the base charter price. The Phoenix private sailboat is the only vessel in our fleet with complimentary round-trip hotel transport included.

How much does a private sunset cruise in Cabo cost?

Private sunset cruises in Cabo San Lucas start at $700 USD and go up depending on boat size and inclusions. The price is per boat (not per person), so larger groups get exceptional value.

Can I propose during a Cabo sunset cruise?

Yes — Cabo sunset cruises are one of the most romantic proposal settings in Mexico. Tell us in advance and we'll coordinate everything: discreet crew, champagne ready, the boat positioned for the perfect Arch backdrop. We can also arrange a photographer or drone footage on request.

What is your cancellation policy?

Free cancellation up to 48 hours before departure with a full refund. You can also reschedule your charter anytime, subject to availability — just contact us by email or WhatsApp and we'll take care of it.

Round-trip hotel transport is free on the Phoenix sailboat and available for $140 USD on all other boats. Cruise past The Arch at Land's End as the Pacific sky turns gold on your own private yacht or sailboat. Every charter includes a licensed captain, bilingual crew, and fuel. Charters are 100% private and depart from Cabo San Lucas Marina.

Experience the Magic of a Cabo San Lucas Sunset

This is the perfect way to unwind and enjoy a serene evening on the water, surrounded by breathtaking views of the coastline, the famous Arch, and stunning rock formations as the sun sets over the horizon.

Your Unforgettable Evening Includes:

Breathtaking Views: The Arch & Land's End
Open Bar: Cocktails, wine, beer & soft drinks
Light Appetizers: Fresh snacks to enjoy
Relaxing Music: Your soundtrack for the sunset
Photo Opportunities: Capture the perfect moment
Professional Crew: For your comfort and safety

As the sun dips below the horizon, you’ll be treated to vibrant colors lighting up the sky, creating a truly unforgettable sight. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply looking to relax, our Sunset Tour provides the ideal atmosphere for a memorable experience.

The Route: Golden Hour at Land's End

Your cruise leaves Cabo San Lucas Marina and rounds the peninsula toward Land's End, where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific. You'll pass Lover's Beach and the sea lion colony before reaching El Arco just as the light turns gold — the moment every photographer in Cabo waits for. From there, your captain eases into open Pacific water and positions the boat for the sunset itself, with the Arch silhouetted behind you and nothing but horizon ahead. Because the charter is 100% private, there's no rush and no fixed script: linger at the Arch for photos, request a second pass, or simply drift with a drink in hand while the sky does the work.

What's Included on Your Private Sunset Cruise

All-inclusive means exactly that — nothing to order, nothing to upgrade, no surprises at the dock.

Premium Open Bar: Sparkling wine, vodka, tequila, whisky, rum and gin — unlimited for the whole cruise, served by your crew.
Fresh Bites Prepared On Board: Burritos, quesadillas, ceviche, guacamole and fruit skewers, freshly prepared by your crew while you watch the sky change color. Dietary requirements accommodated with advance notice.
Sound System: Bluetooth sound system on board — bring your own golden-hour playlist or let the crew set the mood.
Towels On Board: Fresh towels provided — one less thing to carry from the hotel.
Licensed Captain & Crew: A licensed captain and bilingual crew handle everything — navigation, drinks, food, and the best photo angles on the water.
Hotel Pickup: Free round-trip hotel transport with the Phoenix sailboat charter; available for $140 USD round trip on all other boats.

Getting There Is Easy

Most sunset cruise operators in Cabo give you a marina slip number and let you figure out the rest — a taxi through downtown traffic at rush hour, right when everyone else is heading to the marina for the same sunset. We do it differently: the Phoenix sailboat sunset charter includes free door-to-door hotel pickup, and on any other boat you can add round-trip transport for $140 USD. Our driver meets you at your hotel lobby, drops you at the boat, and after the cruise takes you straight back. No taxi lines at the marina after dark, no navigating the dock with a group, no stress before the most relaxing part of your vacation.

Departure Times

Timed so you're on the water for golden hour and the actual sunset.

Sunset Cruise: 4:00 – 7:00 PM

The Phoenix sunset charter runs 4:00 – 7:00 PM, putting you past The Arch in golden hour light and on open water for the actual sunset. Departure times may vary seasonally and are confirmed at booking, matched to the sunset hour for your date — you never miss the show.

December – April only

Sunset Cruise + Whale Watching Season

From December through April, humpback whales migrate through Cabo waters — and a sunset cruise doubles as a whale watching tour. Late afternoon is prime time for surface activity: breaches, tail slaps, and mothers with calves, all backlit by the setting sun. Your captain navigates toward whale activity whenever conditions and regulations allow, at no extra cost. If you're visiting in season, this is the single best way to combine Cabo's two greatest shows in one evening.

Peak sightings: January and February. Dolphins are present year-round.

What to Bring

Almost everything is already on board. The short list:

Biodegradable sunscreen — required to protect Cabo's marine life
Swimsuit, if you'd like a dip before the sun goes down
Towel — optional, we have fresh ones on board
Camera or phone — golden hour at The Arch is the shot of the trip
A light layer — the breeze picks up once the sun drops

"We booked a sailboat for our wedding anniversary and must I say WOW! Juliusas and Juan outdid themselves! They were so friendly and welcoming upon arrival. The food that was provided was so delicious and the margarita! WOW! I can’t wait to return to book this excursion again, it created wonderful memories for my husband and I that it brought tears to my eyes the effort that was given. We booked a mariachi band, and it was so spectacular to have them on board with us. So many people from other boats were taking videos and photos. I truly felt like I was in a dream! The water was great to jump off and hang out on the floats that they provided! I loved everything about the booking process, accommodation, and experience! 10/10"

"Our second trip out on the Phoenix did not disappoint. Caesar and "Ooli" did a great job. All Ways Cabo takes care of ALL of our transportation/excursions on our Cabo trips!"

"Exceptional service from Always in Cabo from beginning to end! We booked the Phoenix sailboat for an evening trip, and the vessel was absolutely beautiful. Captain Cesar and Ulises were outstanding friendly, professional, and you could really see the pride they take in their vessel and the company they represent. They made the entire experience special for our family. We also used Always in Cabo for our airport transportation to and from the RIU Palace in a beautiful luxury van. Everything was comfortable, professional, and on time. We will definitely be using Always in Cabo again when we return to Cabo next year. Highly recommend!"
