Private whale watching yacht charter from Cabo San Lucas (Dec-Apr): intimate viewing of humpback + gray whales during mating season, sail past The Arch, snorkel Pelican Beach, paddleboard + floating mats, private guide, soda/water, up to 18 guests, private transport to IGY Marina included.
Step aboard your private yacht in Cabo San Lucas and sail straight into the heart of whale season, where gray and humpback whales migrate to the warm Baja waters to mate and give birth—often so close you can hear their blows and watch calves play beside mothers.
Your captain navigates past the iconic Arch, Lover’s Beach, Pelican Rock, and hidden sea caves, giving you front-row views of dramatic rock formations while the crew keeps an eye out for breaching giants. When the moment’s right, drop anchor for a relaxed swim or snorkel at Pelican Beach, paddleboard across calm waters, or lounge on the floating mat with cold soda or water in hand.
This 4-hour private adventure (just your group) includes a knowledgeable captain, all water toys (snorkel gear, paddleboard, floating mat), bottled water/soda, and the freedom to mix whale watching with beach time.
Real talk: whale sightings peak December–April (no guarantee, but Cabo’s waters are prime), and seas can be wavy—bring motion sickness meds if needed.
Fully exclusive; book early for migration months.
Here's practical advice to help your private whale-watching day go well, based on common experiences with seas, sightings, and comfort. We've pulled this from what past guests told us after their trips.
Common issues. Seas can be wavy—guests prone to motion sickness took meds and stayed shaded. Not wheelchair accessible—steps to decks. Weather rarely cancels; dress in layers.
High likelihood December–April, but no absolute guarantee. Captains chase active areas. Past guests saw multiple species most trips—breaches and tail slaps common.
Pacific waters can be choppy—stable yacht but motion possible. Guests recommended meds if prone; shaded areas help.
Yes for children who handle boat motion and cold. Families said kids loved spotting whales and using water toys, but supervise closely.
Limited—light refreshments usually include fruit and snacks. Notify early for adjustments. Guests found options sufficient.
Open decks give great angles—bring a good zoom lens or phone with stabilizer. Crew pauses for shots when whales surface.
Small private group, water toys, and flexible pace. Past guests preferred the exclusivity and comfort over larger or noisier boats.
