The best part of the Number Juan charter is that the boat itself becomes your private Cabo setting. You can cruise the Sea of Cortez, stop for swimming, use the paddleboards and kayaks, and return to a chef-prepared meal without juggling separate bookings. I especially like the included chef and bartender, plus the resort pickup that removes a taxi ride from the day.

I also like the attentive crew. Captain Gabby is named for smooth handling, while Alex, Diego, Lupita, Letty, and Chef Saul are repeatedly singled out for friendly service, drinks, food, and safety. The main consideration is the price: $4,925 per group, and the stated capacity is up to 10, so this makes the most sense for a well-filled group.

Key points at a glance

Number Juan 100ft Yacht Azimut Rental - Key points at a glance

  • A 100-foot private yacht: Number Juan has four bedrooms and plenty of room for a special occasion or a relaxed day at sea.
  • Chef Saul’s made-to-order food: Menus can be planned in advance, with local seafood, fresh ingredients, and options for allergies or dietary restrictions.
  • A real open bar: Cocktails, including the yacht’s namesake Number Juan tequila, are included.
  • Water time is part of the plan: Kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear, a Sea Bob, and swim mats are available.
  • Resort or villa pickup: Transportation can collect you at your accommodation and return you to the Cabo marina afterward.
  • Confirm your head count: The advertised limit is 10 people, although larger parties appear in some past arrangements, so ask Cabo Yacht Charters before paying.

A Cabo yacht day built around your group

Number Juan 100ft Yacht Azimut Rental - A Cabo yacht day built around your group

Number Juan is not a quick harbor cruise with a fixed script. It is a private charter, so the feel depends on how you use the time. You can make the day social, with music, cocktails, and a long meal, or keep it active with swimming and paddleboarding.

The yacht has four bedrooms, a private chef, a personal bartender, and designated crew. That matters because a large boat can feel complicated when nobody is clearly responsible for food, drinks, or safety. Here, those jobs are assigned. Alex has been described as the person who keeps the day moving, while Diego helps with activities and small service details. Lupita and Letty handle drinks, and Captain Gabby runs the boat.

You can also choose your music, an easy detail that changes the mood. A sunset outing with music and drinks will feel very different from a daytime charter centered on swimming. Since the booking can last from about three hours to a full day, decide what kind of outing you want before choosing the duration.

From resort pickup to the Cabo marina

Pickup is offered from your resort or villa. The boat itself begins and ends at the marina in Cabo San Lucas, so transportation is useful if your accommodation is away from the harbor or if you plan to enjoy the open bar.

Your confirmation is sent within 48 hours, subject to availability. I would not leave a special birthday or post-wedding charter until the last minute, especially because the experience is booked an average of 16 days ahead. That is not a guarantee of availability, but it is a good reason to plan early.

The supplied information does not give a fixed pickup time, exact route, or standard sailing distance. Ask for those details when you arrange the charter. The boat has been used for routes between San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas, and the Sea of Cortez is the stated setting, but your actual route will depend on the day, weather, and time booked.

What the cruise itself feels like

Number Juan 100ft Yacht Azimut Rental - What the cruise itself feels like

Once aboard, the appeal is simple: you have a large yacht, a dedicated crew, and no strangers sharing the schedule. The crew can bring drinks, prepare food, set up water equipment, and keep an eye on the group while you enjoy the coast.

You may see Cabo from the water rather than from a crowded beach or viewpoint. The available information also includes a trip with whales seen along the way, but whale sightings are not promised. Treat that as a possible bonus, not a feature to book around.

The coast is most enjoyable when you leave room for pauses. A three-hour booking can give you a taste of cruising and water time, but it will feel tighter if you want a full meal, swimming, photos, and several activities. Four hours was described as a comfortable length for a birthday outing, while a half-day or full-day booking gives you more freedom to linger.

Sunset is another strong option. The yacht’s size, open deck space, music, and bar suit the late-day light, and the views become part of the celebration. Again, confirm the exact departure and return time rather than assuming every charter includes sunset.

The water toys: useful, not just decoration

Number Juan 100ft Yacht Azimut Rental - The water toys: useful, not just decoration

The included equipment gives you a reason to get off the deck. You can use kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear, a Sea Bob, and swim mats. The available accounts also describe people jumping from the yacht and relaxing on a water mat.

This is a good setup for a group with mixed interests. Active members can paddle or snorkel, while others can stay aboard with a drink or stretch out on a mat. Crew members supervise water activity, which can help families and groups that want a little more confidence around the boat.

Still, the gear does not guarantee ideal water conditions. Wind, waves, weather, and the captain’s judgment will affect what is safe and practical. Follow the crew’s safety instructions, and ask before jumping or taking equipment into the water. The experience requires good weather, and poor conditions can lead to a different date or a full refund.

The Sea Bob is a particularly unusual extra, but the supplied details do not explain how many are available or how long each person may use one. If that is a major reason for booking, ask in advance.

Food that can carry the whole afternoon

Number Juan 100ft Yacht Azimut Rental - Food that can carry the whole afternoon

Food is one of the strongest reasons to choose this charter over a basic boat rental. A private chef prepares the meal, and you work with the company beforehand to choose from available menu options.

The food described on board includes local seafood and fresh ingredients. Past menus included fajitas, sushi, guacamole, and other dishes, with enough food to feed a group of 12 and leave leftovers in one account. Do not assume that exact menu will be served on your charter. The important point is that you are not limited to a bag of chips and a standard cooler.

Tell the company about allergies and dietary restrictions before the trip. Options are available, but the menu needs to be planned. This is especially valuable for a group with different needs, since a private chef can prepare a more considered meal than a shared excursion normally allows.

The chef also changes the rhythm of the day. Instead of stopping the outing to find lunch, you can eat while the boat remains part of the experience. If you want a birthday cake or custom decorations, ask about those services. Customized balloons and a cake have been arranged for a large birthday celebration, but they should be treated as extras to confirm rather than standard inclusions.

Number Juan tequila and the open bar

Number Juan 100ft Yacht Azimut Rental - Number Juan tequila and the open bar

The open bar includes cocktails and Number Juan tequila. A personal bartender means you do not need to take turns mixing drinks or carry a cooler from the hotel. Lupita and Letty are named for keeping drinks moving and responding to requests.

That service is convenient, but it also makes transportation especially important. Use the included pickup if available, and do not plan to drive after the charter. The boat returns to the marina, and the transportation arrangement is meant to connect with your resort or villa.

The bar is a good value for a group that will use it. If only a few people drink, the price may feel harder to justify, since much of the cost goes toward the yacht, crew, chef, and private setting rather than alcohol alone.

The crew and the small details

Number Juan 100ft Yacht Azimut Rental - The crew and the small details

The crew is a major part of this experience. Alex is described as fluent in English and as someone who explains the outing and keeps the group organized. Diego helps with activities and has even become known for cleaning sunglasses, a small touch that sounds minor until salt spray and sunscreen start coating everything.

Lupita and Letty serve drinks, Chef Saul prepares the food, and Captain Gabby handles the 100-foot yacht. The crew’s roles make the service feel personal without requiring you to manage the boat yourself.

Safety also gets attention. Instructions are given before water activities, and the crew supervises swimmers. Service animals are allowed, and most people can participate. The activity is near public transportation, though pickup from your resort or villa is offered. The information does not specify wheelchair access or detailed mobility arrangements, so ask directly if anyone in your group needs special assistance.

Is $4,925 a good value?

Number Juan 100ft Yacht Azimut Rental - Is $4,925 a good value?

The listed price is $4,925 per group of up to 10 people. At a full group of 10, that works out to about $493 per person. With eight people, it is about $616 each, before considering any charges not specified in the supplied details.

That is a serious price, but it includes much more than a boat and captain. You are paying for a 100-foot yacht, designated crew, private chef, bartender, open bar, water equipment, and transportation pickup. For a birthday, wedding-related outing, or family milestone, the private setting can make more sense than buying separate meals, drinks, activities, and transportation.

The value drops if your group is small or if you mainly want a short ride. A three-hour charter can be enjoyable, but the per-person cost remains high unless you fill the boat. I would compare the total price with the size of your group, the number of people who will use the water toys, and how much you value having a chef and crew dedicated only to you.

One warning deserves attention: the stated capacity is up to 10, but past arrangements described groups of 12 and even 25 aboard. Those numbers may reflect different arrangements or special planning. Do not assume a larger party is accepted. Get the permitted head count and final price in writing before booking.

Who should book Number Juan?

I would choose this charter for a group that wants the boat to be the main event. It suits milestone birthdays, post-wedding celebrations, family gatherings, and groups of friends who want privacy and a full-service day.

It is also a good fit for mixed-age groups. Children as young as 6 and adults as old as 85 have been included in a past celebration, with food, music, water time, and quiet places aboard. That does not mean every person will find every activity suitable, but the range of options makes it easier for different ages to share one outing.

I would hesitate if you are traveling alone, as a couple, or with only a few people and do not care about the chef, open bar, or water equipment. A smaller shared cruise may cost less. I would also ask detailed questions before booking if your group needs wheelchair access, has complex medical needs, or wants a specific route.

Booking, weather, and cancellation details

Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations inside that 24-hour window are not refunded, and changes made within 24 hours are not accepted.

The experience requires good weather. If poor weather cancels the charter, you are offered a different date or a full refund. Since the trip takes place on the open water, keep some flexibility in your Cabo schedule, especially if the cruise is tied to a major celebration.

Should you book it?

Book Number Juan if you have enough people to share the cost and want a private Cabo day built around food, drinks, swimming, and attentive service. The standout combination is the 100-foot yacht, private chef, open bar, and water equipment, with Captain Gabby and the wider crew handling the work.

Before paying, confirm the exact head count, duration, menu, pickup time, route, and any birthday or cake arrangements. If those details fit your group, this is a polished and flexible way to spend a special day on the Sea of Cortez. If you only want a short scenic cruise, the price is harder to defend.
