Review · CABO SAN LUCAS YACHT CHARTERS
Olivia Grace 60 ft British Princess Yacht Rental
The Olivia Grace turns a Cabo outing into a private day at sea, with a 60-foot British Princess yacht, dedicated crew, personal bartender, open bar, local seafood, and room for up to 10 people. You can cruise near the famous Cabo Arch, stop for water play, and settle into a boat that feels more like a private floating villa than a basic sightseeing craft.
I like the custom food planning, especially for birthdays, allergies, and dietary restrictions. I also like the practical water setup: paddleboards and an inflatable lily pad give you something to do beyond sitting in the sun, while the crew can help keep drinks and food moving.
The main consideration is the price. At $2,499 per group, this makes the most sense for a full party of 10, since the cost is about $250 per person at capacity and much more for a small group. Also, check the boat details carefully before booking, since one booking raised a concern about the vessel pictured versus the yacht received.
Key points to know before booking

- Private yacht for up to 10: The $2,499 rate covers the group, not each person.
- Flexible length: Choose a charter of about 3 hours to a full day, subject to the booking selected.
- Food and drinks are central: You receive an open bar, personal bartender, and a menu planned with the charter team.
- Water time is built in: Paddleboards, an inflatable lily pad, and other water toys are available.
- Cabo Arch access: The cruise can include views around the Arch, with time for swimming or snorkeling when conditions allow.
- Very strong overall rating: The experience has a 5.0 rating from 118 reviews, with 99 percent recommending it, though one complaint concerned the boat pictured.
A private Cabo cruise with room to spread out
A private yacht changes the rhythm of a Cabo day. Instead of following a fixed group schedule, you have the boat to yourselves and can use the time for a celebration, a relaxed meal, music, swimming, or a little of everything.
The Olivia Grace is a 60-foot British Princess yacht with five staterooms. You probably will not need all five for a short charter, but the cabins help explain the boat’s design. This is made for longer time on the water, not just a quick harbor ride and return.
The yacht accommodates up to 10 people per group. That limit matters. Ten is enough for a family gathering, birthday party, wedding-related outing, or group of friends, but still small enough for the crew to provide personal attention.
The service is handled by designated staff, including a captain and onboard crew. Specific crew names are not provided, so I would not book this expecting a named guide or a formal history talk. The focus is service, food, drinks, and time on the sea.

What the 3-hour, half-day, and full-day choices mean

The available duration ranges from about 3 hours to one full day. The shorter charter is enough for a taste of the Cabo coast, a drink, some food, and a stop for water activity. It is the sensible choice if you are fitting the yacht around other plans.
A half-day gives the outing more breathing room. You can settle into the boat, enjoy a meal, take photos near the Cabo Arch, and spend time with the paddleboards or lily pad without watching the clock every few minutes.
A full-day charter is best for a group that wants the yacht to be the main event. The five staterooms, open bar, food service, and water toys become more useful when you are onboard for many hours. The tradeoff is simple: the longer option costs more in time and likely booking price, so choose it because you want a full day on the water, not just because it sounds luxurious.
The exact route is not specified. You should ask the charter team what stops and water activities are planned for your chosen duration and date. That is particularly important if you are booking mainly for snorkeling or a specific view.
Cabo Arch views and time in the water

The Cabo Arch is the defining visual stop connected with this cruise. It gives you the classic Cabo photo opportunity, with the yacht providing a comfortable viewing point rather than placing you on a crowded sightseeing boat.
The outing can also include snorkeling and time in the water. Conditions will shape what is possible, so you should treat these activities as part of the day’s plan rather than a guarantee of a particular marine sighting.
The paddleboards and inflatable lily pad add variety. A paddleboard suits someone who wants a little movement and balance practice. The lily pad is easier for relaxed lounging and can work well for a mixed-age group. Other water toys are also listed, though the available selection and use may depend on weather and sea conditions.
I like this combination because it gives your party choices. One person can remain onboard with a drink, another can use the paddleboard, and others can swim or snorkel. That flexibility is a better fit for a private group than an excursion where everyone must follow the same activity schedule.
Food planning, birthdays, and the open bar

Food is one of the stronger reasons to consider this charter. The menu uses local seafood and other local ingredients, and the charter team works with you before the outing to plan the meal from the available choices.
That planning step is useful. You can discuss food allergies and dietary restrictions before you board rather than trying to solve everything once lunch is already being served. I would provide those details early and ask exactly what menu options are available for your group.
The onboard service includes a personal bartender and open bar. Welcome drinks, fruit, snacks, and boat drinks have all been part of the experience described. One birthday setup included a cake and balloons with the birthday person’s name, which shows that special requests can be worthwhile to discuss before departure.
The food examples include fruit trays, club sandwiches, fruit, snacks, and chef-prepared meals with attention to presentation. The menu is not fixed in the information provided, so do not assume a particular dish. Ask what is included in your selected menu and how the food will be served during the charter.
The open bar is convenient, but it is also one reason to pace yourself. A boat day can feel longer and warmer than expected, and you will enjoy the water activities more if you do not treat the bar as a challenge.

Service that makes the yacht feel special

The strongest praise is directed at the crew. The service is described as professional, friendly, helpful, and attentive to small details. That matters more on a private charter than it does on a standard cruise because the crew becomes part of your group’s day.
The best version of this experience is not simply a nice boat. It is having the staff handle drinks, food, birthday details, water toys, and the practical work of keeping the day moving while you spend time with your own group.
The crew also helps create a social atmosphere. A sound system is onboard, and one birthday outing included dancing throughout the day. If music matters to you, ask about the sound system and any rules for the playlist before departure.
At the same time, I would keep expectations realistic. The available information does not name the captain or promise a guided narration about Cabo. If you want a detailed sightseeing commentary, ask in advance. If you mainly want a well-served private boat day, the service model is a better match.
Is $2,499 a fair price?

The charter costs $2,499 per group of up to 10 people. With 10 people, that works out to about $250 each. For six people, the effective cost rises to about $417 per person, and for four people it is about $625 per person.
That calculation is the key to judging value. For a full party, the price includes a private 60-foot yacht, crew, bartender, open bar, food planning, water toys, and a boat with five staterooms. Those inclusions make the rate easier to understand than a bare boat rental.
For a small party, the yacht becomes a luxury splurge. You are paying for space, privacy, service, and control of the day rather than simply paying for transportation on the water.
The 3-hour option may be the best value if you mainly want the Cabo Arch, a meal, drinks, and a little water time. The longer charter gives you more use of the yacht, but only book it if your group enjoys spending many hours together onboard.
I would also confirm what the phrase all-inclusive covers for your selected charter. The information lists food, drinks, staff, and water equipment, but the exact menu, route, and duration can affect what you receive.
The boat-picture concern is worth addressing

Almost all the available feedback is highly positive, but one important concern should not be ignored. A booking reported that the boat received did not match the picture used for the rental and also found the food disappointing, while still praising the staff and host.
The provider asked for the booking date and details so the issue could be investigated. That response does not settle what happened, but it gives you a practical step: before paying, confirm that Olivia Grace is the actual yacht assigned to your date and ask what happens if the vessel changes.
This is especially important because the boat itself is central to the purchase. You are not just booking a seat. You are paying for a particular yacht, its layout, its staterooms, and its amenities.
I would also confirm the menu, water toys, and route in writing if those details are especially important to your group. That small bit of preparation can prevent a mismatch between your plans and the day delivered.
Who will enjoy this most

I would recommend Olivia Grace for a group that values privacy and service more than the lowest possible price. It fits birthdays, anniversaries, family gatherings, and friend groups that want food, drinks, music, and water time in one setting.
It is also a good choice for people with different interests. The boat offers places to relax, eat, listen to music, and enjoy the view, while more active members of the group can use the paddleboards, lily pad, or other water toys.
Families can benefit from the range of activities, though the information does not provide age guidance for each toy. Ask the crew about suitable use for children before booking.
I would be less likely to recommend it to a solo visitor or a couple on a tight budget. The group price works best when shared among many people. I would also look elsewhere if your priority is a highly structured educational cruise, since no named guide or detailed narration is promised.
Pickup is offered, and the meeting point is in Cabo San Lucas Centro at the marina, on Marina Street in postal code 23453. The activity ends back at that meeting point. Mobile tickets are accepted, English is offered, and the marina is near public transportation.
Confirmation arrives within 48 hours of booking, subject to availability. Service animals are allowed, and most people can participate. Those details are useful, but I would still tell the operator about mobility needs, dietary restrictions, or special celebrations before the charter.
Booking timing and weather rules
This charter is booked about 46 days ahead on average, which suggests that popular dates may fill well before a Cabo holiday. If you want a birthday date, weekend, or full-day charter, I would not wait until the last minute.
You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before departure are not refunded, and changes inside that window are not accepted.
The experience depends on good weather. If poor weather causes the charter to be canceled, you are offered another date or a full refund. That is a fair policy for a boat outing, but keep the weather rule in mind when planning connected reservations such as dinner or transportation.
Should you book Olivia Grace?
I would book Olivia Grace if you can fill most of the 10-person capacity and want a polished private day with food, drinks, water toys, and a crew that handles the details. The strongest value comes from sharing the $2,499 rate across a full group, especially for a birthday or special occasion.
Before paying, confirm the exact yacht, menu, duration, route, and water equipment for your date. If those details check out, this is a strong Cabo choice for a private celebration or relaxed group day. If your party is small, compare the per-person cost carefully, since the experience becomes much harder to justify on price alone.
