Review · CABO SAN LUCAS YACHT CHARTERS
Number Juan 100ft Yacht Azimut Rental
The most appealing part of the Number Juan is that you get a 100-foot private yacht with a chef, bartender, captain, and dedicated service crew rather than a simple boat ride. You can cruise the Sea of Cortez, stop for swimming, eat fresh seafood, and use the water toys without sharing the boat with strangers.
I love the custom menu, especially for groups with allergies or dietary restrictions. I also like the practical mix of kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear, and a Sea Bob, since you can make the day as active or as lazy as you wish. The main consideration is price: at $4,925 for up to 10 people, this makes the most sense for a group sharing the cost.
I would also confirm the final passenger limit before paying. The stated capacity is up to 10, while some past parties described on the boat were larger. The official details should be your guide.
Key points to know before booking

- A full crew handles the day: Captain Gabby has been named for smooth navigation, with Alex, Diego, Lupita, Letty, and chef Saul also praised for service and food.
- The menu is planned with you: Local seafood and fresh ingredients are used, with options for allergies and dietary restrictions.
- The water equipment is included: Kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear, a swim mat, and a Sea Bob are available.
- The open bar has a Cabo signature: Number Juan tequila is part of the all-inclusive setup, along with cocktails.
- Resort pickup is offered: Transportation can collect you at your resort or villa and return you to the marina afterward.
- The charter length is flexible: You can book a trip of roughly 3 hours to 1 day, depending on availability and the arrangement you choose.
What the Number Juan experience is really like

This is a private yacht charter built around comfort, food, drinks, and time on the water. You are not signing up for a fixed sightseeing bus tour with a quick photo stop. The point is to have the boat and crew working around your group.
The Number Juan is an Azimut yacht measuring 100 feet, with four bedrooms and space designed for a polished, upscale day at sea. The package includes a captain, personal chef, bartender, and designated service staff. That matters because the crew can divide their attention between navigation, meals, drinks, safety, and water activities.
You can choose music, spend time cruising, stop to swim, or simply sit back with a drink and watch Cabo from the water. The exact route depends on your charter plan and conditions. One reported outing traveled from San José del Cabo toward Cabo San Lucas and back, with whales seen along the way. That is a reminder that wildlife sightings can be a pleasant bonus, but they should not be treated as guaranteed.

Boarding in Cabo San Lucas with resort pickup
The listed meeting point is the marina in Cabo San Lucas. If you are staying at a resort or villa, transportation is offered from your property. That is a useful feature in Cabo, where arranging several cars for a large celebration can become a nuisance.
Your activity ends back at the meeting point. In practical terms, you should plan on transportation taking you back after the cruise unless your pickup arrangement says otherwise.
The booking is mobile-ticket friendly, and the service is offered in English. Confirmation is sent within 48 hours, subject to availability. I would avoid booking this as a last-minute surprise for a large group unless you have enough flexibility, since the average advance booking time is about 16 days.
The crew makes the difference

A private yacht is only as good as the people running it. Here, the crew setup is one of the strongest parts of the experience.
Captain Gabby has been singled out for handling the 100-foot yacht smoothly through the Sea of Cortez. Alex has served as a lead host and chief stew, helping explain the plan, keep service moving, and make sure safety instructions were followed. Diego has helped with the water activities and even became known for cleaning sunglasses, a small touch that says a lot about the attention to detail onboard.
Lupita and Letty handle drinks, while chef Saul prepares the food. That division of work means you are not waiting for one person to cook, pour drinks, explain the equipment, and watch the group all at once.
The yacht has been used by families ranging from young children to people in their eighties. That does not mean every activity suits every age, but it does suggest the day can be adjusted for a mixed group. If you have children, older relatives, or anyone who prefers to stay dry, the crew can help keep the experience comfortable without making the whole trip feel like a strict schedule.
The food is more than yacht snacks

The food is a major reason to consider this charter instead of a standard sightseeing cruise. You work with the company before departure to create a menu from the available choices. The emphasis is on local seafood and fresh ingredients, with adjustments for food allergies and dietary restrictions.
Past menus have included fajitas, sushi, guacamole, and other dishes. One dinner was reported to be large enough to feed a group of 12 with leftovers, though you should use the official booking capacity of up to 10 when planning your own group.
A private chef changes the rhythm of the day. You can eat a proper meal while the yacht is underway or after stopping for water activities. You are not limited to packaged snacks or a fixed buffet placed out at the marina.
I would discuss meal timing, favorite dishes, allergies, and any foods your group will not eat before the trip. The information says menu planning is part of the booking process, so use that opportunity. If this is a birthday, post-wedding celebration, or family event, a custom cake may also be possible. Customized cakes and balloons have been arranged for special occasions, but confirm those details directly because they are not listed as standard inclusions.

The Number Juan open bar and drink service

The open bar features Number Juan tequila, the yacht’s namesake spirit, along with cocktails. Drinks are included in the all-inclusive setup, and the bartender keeps service moving while you relax.
This is especially valuable on a private boat because you do not need to carry a cooler or keep returning to a bar on shore. You can ask for drinks throughout the cruise while the crew handles the service.
Still, an open bar should not be mistaken for an unlimited license to ignore the conditions at sea. You may want to pace yourself before swimming, paddleboarding, or using the Sea Bob. The crew supervises water activities, and following those instructions is part of having a safe day.
Swimming, paddling, and the water toys

The included equipment gives the charter more variety than a cruise focused only on views. Kayaks and paddleboards let you move around at an easy pace. Snorkel gear is available for looking below the surface, while a Sea Bob offers a faster underwater ride for those who want something more energetic.
A swim mat has also been used as a floating lounge area. That is a good option if you want to cool off without constantly treading water. You can jump from the yacht, swim, paddle, or remain onboard with a drink while others play.
The crew supervises the water activities, which is reassuring for groups with children or people who are not strong swimmers. I would still ask what conditions are expected that day and listen carefully to the safety briefing. Water conditions, wind, and the chosen stopping area can affect which equipment is practical.
The boat also carries snorkel gear, but the available information does not promise a particular reef, cove, or marine-life site. Think of snorkeling as one possible part of the outing, not the central purpose of a dedicated snorkeling tour.
What you might see from the Sea of Cortez

The cruise gives you a water-level view of the Cabo coast, with open sea, rock formations, and changing light depending on the time of day. Sunset outings have been especially memorable, and the yacht provides a comfortable place to watch the sky change while music plays.
Whales have been seen during at least one trip between San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas. If you are visiting during whale season, keep your eyes open, but do not book this solely for a guaranteed sighting. The route and wildlife depend on the day.
The experience is less about ticking off a long list of landmarks and more about having room to settle into the coast. You can take photos, swim, eat, and let the crew manage the details. That makes it a better fit for a celebration or relaxed group day than for someone trying to see every major attraction in Cabo in three hours.
How long should you book?

The available duration ranges from about 3 hours to 1 day. A three-hour charter can work if you want a quick taste of the yacht, a few drinks, photos, and a swim stop. It will feel short if you also want a full meal and several water activities.
A four-hour outing has been used for birthday celebrations and was considered a good balance. It gives you time to cruise, eat, swim, and enjoy the boat without making the day feel endless.
A longer charter is better if your group wants a leisurely meal, several activities, and a relaxed sunset. The tradeoff is cost and stamina. A full day on a yacht is a big event, and some people will be ready for a quiet evening afterward.
Ask exactly how much time is included in your quote. Since the duration is flexible, do not assume the $4,925 price applies identically to every possible charter length.
Is $4,925 a fair price?
The listed price is $4,925 per group of up to 10 people. Divided evenly, that is about $492.50 per person before any additional arrangements. For a private 100-foot yacht with a captain, chef, bartender, food, drinks, and water equipment, that can be reasonable for a milestone celebration or a group that values privacy.
The cost includes more than transportation. You are paying for the yacht itself, the crew, meal preparation, open-bar service, water toys, and the ability to set the pace around your group. Resort pickup also removes some transportation work.
The value drops if only two or three people are using the boat. In that case, you are carrying most of the group rate yourself, even if you barely use the bedrooms or water equipment. I would gather the group and divide the price before booking, then compare it with smaller shared cruises if privacy is not important.
Be clear about what is included in the final quote. The standard information covers the main service, but special cakes, balloons, extended time, and particular transportation requests may require separate confirmation.
Who should book the Number Juan?
I would recommend this charter for:
- Families or friends celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, or a post-wedding gathering
- Groups that want a private setting instead of a shared boat
- People who care about a proper chef-prepared meal
- Groups with food allergies or dietary restrictions
- Anyone who wants both quiet cruising and active time in the water
- Visitors who value resort pickup and a fully staffed experience
It may not be the best match if you want a low-cost boat trip, a focused snorkeling excursion, or a guaranteed whale-watching route. It also deserves extra planning if your group size is close to the stated limit.
The official details say up to 10 people, while some event accounts describe larger parties onboard. Do not rely on those larger numbers without written confirmation. Ask about the legal and comfortable capacity for your chosen date.
Booking, weather, and cancellation details
You can cancel for a full refund if you do so at least 24 hours before the local start time. Changes made within 24 hours are not accepted, and cancellations inside that window are not refunded.
The charter requires good weather. If poor conditions cause the company to cancel, you are offered another date or a full refund. That policy is fair for a yacht day, but it makes flexibility important. If your Cabo schedule is tightly packed, keep a backup plan for the day.
Service animals are allowed, and the activity is near public transportation. Most people can participate, though the crew should know in advance about mobility needs, allergies, or other concerns.
My verdict on the Number Juan
The Number Juan is best understood as a private floating celebration, not simply a boat ride. The combination of a 100-foot Azimut, personal chef, Number Juan tequila, attentive service, and water equipment gives your group plenty to do without forcing you into a rigid itinerary.
I would book it for a group of eight to 10 people sharing the cost, especially for a birthday, family reunion, or post-wedding day. I would also choose a four-hour or longer outing if food and swimming are both priorities. Before paying, confirm your exact passenger count, charter length, menu, transportation, and any special decorations.
If your budget allows and you want the boat to feel like your own private setting for the day, this is a strong Cabo choice. If you mainly want a quick look at the coast or a cheaper way onto the water, a shared cruise will likely give you better value.
