A 100-foot yacht makes Cabo feel like a movie. The Number Juan charter is built around a dedicated team and an onboard experience that feels polished from step-on to step-off, with award-winning Number Juan tequila pouring through the day. I like that the staff runs the flow like they’ve done it a thousand times, so your group spends more time enjoying the water and less time figuring out what’s next.
What really makes this one land is the food. You get a private chef preparing a menu you help shape ahead of time, using local seafood and fresh ingredients, with options for allergies and dietary restrictions. One thing to consider: this experience requires good weather, and poor conditions can cancel the day.

- Open bar includes Number Juan tequila, plus cocktails made quickly and consistently
- Private chef menu planning with options for allergies and dietary restrictions

Why the 100-Foot Number Juan Feels Like a Step Above Cabo Boat Time

Cabo is full of boats. Most of them are fun, but the Number Juan charter leans into something else: smooth, planned luxury. You’re not just renting space on a deck. You’re buying a staff-led setup where people take care of the details so you can focus on the views, the water, and the vibe.
The biggest signal is how the team is described: there’s a designated crew, plus a personal bartender, and a chef working with your group. In plain terms, that matters because the day doesn’t slow down when you want another drink, another snack, or time guidance for the water toys.
Also, the yacht itself is talked about as very well maintained and very clean. That sounds basic, but on a long day on open water it changes how comfortable you feel the whole time.

Marina Pickup and Boarding: Getting Out on the Water Without the Hassle

This charter starts and ends at the Marina, Cabo San Lucas, B.C.S., Mexico. The good news is you’re not stuck building your own plan. Pickup is offered from your resort or villa, and the experience uses a mobile ticket, so you’re not hunting around for paper confirmations.
For me, the best part of a setup like this is time. If your transportation is handled, you can treat the charter like the main event, not the extra work on top of vacation. And since the day ends back at the meeting point, you’re not scrambling to coordinate rides after you’ve been out on the water for hours.
The Open Bar and Number Juan Tequila: What You’re Actually Paying For

The open bar isn’t just an add-on. It’s part of the identity of the yacht. The bar features Number Juan tequila, described as award-winning, and the drinks come fast. That speed matters more than you might think. On a big boat day, you want to keep your momentum, especially if you’re rotating between deck time, water toys, and enjoying the chef’s meal.
A small but real detail: the crew’s cocktail service is portrayed as attentive without being in your face. People mention drinks being made and provided quickly. That’s a big quality marker. When service is slow, the whole day drifts.
Private Chef Meals: Local Seafood, Menu Choices, and Real Allergy Care

This is where the Number Juan stands apart. You’re not dealing with a buffet situation or counting on snack trays. You have a personal chef preparing the meal onboard, using local seafood and fresh ingredients.
Here’s the practical value for you: you get involved in the menu planning when you book. You choose from available options, and the team works with your dietary needs, including food allergies and dietary restrictions. If your group includes people with specific limitations, that kind of planning is often the difference between a fun day and an awkward one.
From the accounts of how the meals are described, the food doesn’t show up as an afterthought. It’s presented like a dinner event, with items such as sushi and fajitas mentioned in the onboard menu experience. People also note it being satisfying for the whole group, not just a couple of portion-hogging plates.
Kayaks, Paddleboards, Snorkel Gear, and Sea Bob: The Water Toys Part That’s Worth It

A yacht is only as good as its time on the water. Number Juan includes a whole menu of activities: kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear, and a Sea Bob. That means you can pick your level of effort. You can float and relax, you can snorkel, or you can go for something that feels more like a motorized thrill.
What I think you’ll appreciate most is the supervision vibe. People describe crew members supervising swim time, which helps you feel more confident in the water. And safety isn’t just about caution signs. It’s also about having staff nearby when you’re switching between the boat and the water toys.
One clever detail that comes up: paddleboarding and swim mats are part of the comfort toolkit. That’s the kind of small “you’ll be glad it’s there” item that makes water time easier for mixed ages and skill levels.

Cruising Cabo Coast Views and Whale Chances on the Sea of Cortez

The day isn’t just about stopping and starting. It’s about getting the ride too. People describe the yacht cruising through the Sea of Cortez with scenic coastal views, including especially memorable sunset scenery.
There’s also mention of whales along the route. Specifically, one experience describes sailing from San Jose to Cabo and back with whales along the way. That doesn’t mean you’ll see whales every time, but it does tell you the route can go where wildlife happens, and the crew is attentive enough to keep the cruise enjoyable while you’re on the lookout.
If you’re the type who loves being out on open water even before anyone splashes in, this charter has that covered. You get deck time plus active time, not one or the other.
Crew Service Details: Why the Team Makes the Yacht Day

The Number Juan crew seems to work like a coordinated unit. You’ll likely be greeted by the host energy from the start, with Alex described as a chief stew role for keeping everyone supported and making sure safety instructions are followed. Diego shows up in a “helpful everywhere” way, even down to amusing details like cleaning sunglasses for people who’ve been in salt water and glare.
Then there are the drink and meal support roles, including Lupita and Letty keeping cocktails flowing, and Saul as the chef described as preparing delicious meals. And, importantly, Captain Gabby is mentioned for smooth sailing through the Sea of Cortez.
Why you should care: when a crew runs well, it reduces friction. You don’t spend your day waiting for answers or missing instructions. The whole day feels like it’s moving forward, even when you’re taking breaks to swim or paddle.
Price and Value for Up to 10: When This Charter Makes Sense

At $4,925 per group (up to 10), this isn’t a budget move. It’s a value move for the right kind of day.
Here’s how I’d think about it for your planning:
- If you’re splitting the cost among enough people, the per-person price drops into a range where it can compete with doing a premium resort dinner plus multiple tours.
- You’re getting staff labor built in: dedicated crew, personal bartender, and a private chef. That’s a huge piece of what you’re paying for.
- The inclusion list matters: open bar, water toys, snorkel gear, and Sea Bob. Most “boat fun” deals stop at a basic ride and maybe a cooler. This one gives you activities you can actually use.
When it might not make sense: if your group wants low-key spending and minimal planning, you may feel like the cost is too high for the intensity of a yacht day. Also, because it requires good weather, you should book it when your schedule can handle a reroute or date change.
Who This Is Best For in Cabo
Number Juan is a strong match for celebrations and groups that want a real event atmosphere. People describe it as a perfect setup for birthdays and post-wedding celebrations, including multi-age groups.
It can work for families too, mainly because the crew supervision around swim time and water toys is a repeated theme. If you’ve got people who will want to snorkel and people who would rather relax on deck, the included equipment gives everyone options.
If you’re traveling as a couple, it can still be a great choice, but the cost structure favors groups. That’s just math.
Should You Book the Number Juan Yacht in Cabo San Lucas?
If you want a Cabo day that feels like a hosted experience, not just transportation, I’d lean yes. The combination of dedicated staff, an open bar with Number Juan tequila, and a private chef means you’ll spend less energy managing logistics and more energy enjoying the water.
My main caution is weather. This experience requires good weather, so make sure your trip schedule can tolerate a shift if conditions aren’t right.
