What a Cabo bachelorette boat day looks like
A bachelorette boat day in Cabo is four hours on a private yacht for USD 1,619 to 2,539 depending on the boat, with the Arch for the photos, a swim stop in the bay and your own playlist on the speakers. The Pontoon 38 is the party boat: two decks, a water slide off the top one, an enclosed head with a freshwater shower and room for eighteen. The Maxum 45 and Regal 45 are sport yachts for twelve with an air-conditioned cabin, and the Sea Ray 55 takes fifteen with cabins and heads for changing.
The route is the classic one: out of the marina, Pelican Rock, the Arch and the sea lions for the group photo, Lover's Beach from the calm side, then an anchor stop for the mat and the slide before cruising back along Médano Beach. Our bachelorette boat guide has a four-day plan around it, and the party boat guide goes into the Pontoon 38 in detail.
Example prices for a bachelorette boat in Cabo
Four hours is the length most groups book. Split the boat price by the number of friends and it usually lands between USD 85 and 170 each.

Prices per boat with 16% tax included; the 15% crew tip is not included. The per-person figure is the boat price divided by its full capacity, rounded.
For a smaller group, the Bayliner 33 takes eight from USD 599 for two hours. The Sea Ray 65 has an all-inclusive option with ceviche, sashimi and nachos, and the Azimut 70 and the McKinna 70 are the two yachts with complimentary drinks, from USD 4,199 and USD 4,499 for three hours.
Drinks, food and music on board
Bring your own drinks: the crew puts them on ice in the cooler as soon as you board. Cans and plastic are easier on deck than glass. Order food in the planner so nobody drinks on an empty stomach; the Mexican feast serves six to eight for MXN 2,600 or fourteen to sixteen for MXN 4,550, and box lunches start at MXN 238. Every yacht has a sound system; bring the playlist on a phone and a charger.
Decorations: what the Port Captain allows
Since October 2026 the Port Captain no longer allows balloons on any boat in the harbor. Cardstock decorations and a sign are fine, and so are sashes, hats and props. Loose confetti and glitter blow into the sea, so skip them. A professional photographer can join for USD 180, with all the photos from your charter, paid directly to the photographer. Add it in the planner, or take your own photos. If you want the rest handled, ask for the bachelorette kit, flowers or a cake when you book; these are arranged on request and quoted separately.
Bachelor parties and mixed groups
The plan is the same for a bachelor party: one boat, your group, the Arch and a long swim. The paddle board on the Sea Ray 55 and Sea Ray 65, the floating mat on every yacht and the slide on the Pontoon 38 keep everyone busy at anchor. For twenty or more, two yachts leave together and meet at the same stops; see boats for large groups for how that works.
