Olivia Grace 60 ft British Princess Yacht Rental

The best part of the Olivia Grace charter is that you get the whole 60-foot British Princess Yacht for your own group. A dedicated crew handles the drinks, food, boat, and water gear while you settle into a private day around Cabo’s famous Arch and coastline. The open bar and personal bartender make the outing feel easy, and the five staterooms give your group room to spread out.

I like the custom menu built around local seafood and fresh ingredients, especially because dietary restrictions can be discussed before you sail. I also like the paddleboards and other water toys, which turn this from a sightseeing cruise into an active day on the water. The main drawback is price: $2,499 is good value for 10 people on a longer charter, but it is a steep bill for a short three-hour outing or a smaller group.

Key details to know before booking

• Private charter for up to 10 people: You have the yacht and crew to yourselves rather than sharing the boat with a large public group.
• Custom food and drink service: A personal bartender, open bar, and planned menu are included, with options for allergies and dietary restrictions.
• Water time is part of the appeal: Paddleboards and onboard water toys let you get off the yacht and enjoy the sea.
• The Cabo Arch is a natural focal point: The cruise takes you around the scenic waters near Cabo San Lucas, with a chance to stop for swimming or water play.
• Price depends heavily on group size and length: At 10 people, the advertised price works out to about $249.90 per person before considering the value of food, drinks, staff, and gear.
• Weather affects departure: Poor weather can lead to a new date or a full refund, so keep some flexibility in your schedule.

A private yacht day from Cabo Marina

The Olivia Grace leaves from Cabo San Lucas Marina in Centro, at 23453 Cabo San Lucas, BCS. The activity returns to the same meeting point, giving you a simple start and finish in the heart of town.

The boat is a 60-foot British Princess Yacht, with five staterooms and a crew assigned to your group. That setup matters because you are not just paying for transportation across the water. You are paying for space, service, food, drinks, and the freedom to set the mood with your own group.

You can book the experience for roughly three hours up to a full day. The exact shape of the outing depends on the time you choose, the weather, and what you want to do on the water. A shorter charter may work well for a birthday, sunset-style gathering, or quick look at the Cabo Arch. For a relaxed meal, swimming, paddleboarding, and time at anchor, I would lean toward the longer option.

Pickup is offered, but the stated meeting point is the marina. Confirm the pickup arrangement when you book so you know if you should make your own way to the harbor or wait for a transfer.

Welcome drinks and settling into the Olivia Grace

The opening moments set the tone. You are met on board with drinks, and the crew begins service while you get comfortable. A fruit tray and appetizers have been part of the welcome on past outings, and the open bar remains available throughout the charter.

Your group also has a personal bartender. That is a useful touch on a private boat because nobody needs to organize a cooler, search for a drink, or leave the main deck to find service. You can spend more time talking, listening to music, and watching the coast.

The sound system is another practical detail for groups planning a birthday or celebration. One birthday outing included music, a cake, and balloons personalized with the birthday person’s name. Those extras should not be treated as automatic, but they show what may be possible if you arrange a special request ahead of time.

The crew is described as professional, friendly, and attentive, with particular praise for customer service and small details. That matters more on a private charter than it does on a basic boat ride. You are sharing several hours in a confined space, so a crew that reads the room and keeps service moving can make the day much more pleasant.

Cruising toward the Cabo Arch

The cruise takes you into the beautiful ocean around Cabo San Lucas, with the Cabo Arch as the main visual landmark. The rock formations and open water provide the classic Cabo setting, but the private format lets you enjoy it at your own pace.

Do not expect a fixed sightseeing schedule with a long list of formal stops. This is a yacht charter, not a hop-on, hop-off excursion. The value comes from combining scenery with time on board, a meal, drinks, and water activities.

The smooth ride has been a highlight for people who want comfort without giving up the feeling of being at sea. You can remain on deck for the views, sit with your group over lunch, or move between the boat’s different spaces. The staterooms also give you somewhere to retreat if you want shade, quiet, or a rest during a longer booking.

The route and time near the Arch may change with weather and sea conditions. If seeing the Arch is your top priority, ask the operator how your selected departure time affects the route. The available information confirms the Cabo area and the Arch, but it does not promise a specific sequence of stops or a set amount of time at each place.

Lunch built around your group

Food is one of the stronger reasons to consider this charter instead of a simple boat rental. The kitchen plans a menu using local seafood and other quality ingredients, and you work with the team before the outing to choose from the available options.

That planning gives you a chance to mention food allergies and dietary restrictions in advance. You should do this during the booking process rather than waiting until you board. The menu is not a single fixed meal for every departure, so your choices may depend on the options available for your date.

Past meals have included chef-prepared dishes, club sandwiches, fruit, and assorted snacks. One outing featured careful food presentation and a full lunch service. Another included a fruit tray on arrival, followed by sandwiches and snacks. These details suggest that menus can vary, which is useful if you want a casual lunch rather than a formal dining service.

I would set your expectations at a well-served yacht meal, not a restaurant tasting menu. The food received one negative assessment, so the culinary experience may not be equally strong for every group. The more dependable strengths are the custom planning, the ability to discuss restrictions, and the convenience of having food prepared and served on board.

If you are celebrating, ask about a cake, balloons, or another small addition. One birthday group received a personalized cake and balloons, but these should be confirmed rather than assumed to be included in the base rate.

Open bar, music, and time in the water

The open bar changes the rhythm of the day. You can enjoy a drink while cruising, eating, or relaxing near the water without keeping track of separate purchases. The personal bartender adds service without making the boat feel like a crowded bar.

The experience also includes paddleboards and other onboard water toys. A floating lily pad was used during one outing, giving the group a place to relax on the water after jumping in. Paddleboards work well for people who want a little activity, while the floating equipment is better for lounging and casual play.

The water portion is especially useful for mixed groups. Some people can stay on deck with a drink and music, while others use the paddleboards or swim. The boat’s size gives everyone a little breathing room, which is important when your group includes different ages and energy levels.

The available information does not specify snorkeling equipment, water temperature, a particular swimming location, or a guaranteed stop for swimming. One outing included snorkeling, but you should ask the operator exactly what gear and water activities are available for your date. The crew can also tell you how conditions may affect time in the water.

How the three-hour and full-day options compare

The price is $2,499 per group of up to 10 people. If you fill all 10 spaces, the cost comes to about $249.90 per person. That is easier to justify when the booking includes several hours of crew service, food, an open bar, a private boat, and water toys.

For a group of six, the same price works out to about $416.50 each. For four people, it becomes about $624.75 each. The private setting may still be worth it for a special event, but the cost rises quickly when fewer people share the boat.

The charter is also better value over a longer period. On a three-hour booking, you have less time to enjoy the meal, cruising, Arch views, and water toys. A full-day outing gives the crew more time to serve food, let you play in the water, and create a relaxed pace instead of rushing through each part.

I would consider the Olivia Grace for:

• A birthday or anniversary with a group of friends
• A family gathering where private space is important
• A group that wants a boat day without arranging food and drinks separately
• People who enjoy swimming, paddleboarding, and time outside
• Anyone willing to spend more for private service rather than a shared cruise

I would look elsewhere if you want the least expensive way to see the Cabo Arch, if your group is very small, or if you prefer a tightly scheduled sightseeing tour with guaranteed stops.

Service, comfort, and a possible mismatch

The crew receives especially strong praise for professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail. That includes the captain, chef, bartender, and other staff working together to keep the day comfortable. The service is one of the safest reasons to book this experience because it is repeated across several different types of outings.

The yacht itself has also been described as spacious, with a smooth ride and room for all ages to enjoy the day. Five staterooms are more than you need for a short charter, but they become useful during a longer outing when someone wants to rest or get out of the sun.

There is one important caution about the boat. One person reported that the yacht pictured was not the yacht received. The operator responded by asking for booking details so the issue could be checked, but the concern remains worth noting. Confirm that the Olivia Grace is the vessel assigned to your date, especially if the yacht itself is central to your plans.

You should also remember that photos cannot show how the boat will feel with 10 people, food service, water toys, and personal belongings on board. The stated capacity is up to 10, but groups that prefer extra room may find a smaller party more comfortable.

Booking timing, weather, and practical details

The charter is often booked well ahead, with an average booking lead time of about 46 days. That is a useful signal for birthdays, holiday trips, and other dates that cannot move easily. If you have a fixed Cabo schedule, book early and request your preferred date before your plans fill up.

Confirmation is sent within 48 hours of booking, subject to availability. The experience is offered in English, and mobile tickets are available. Service animals are allowed, and the marina is near public transportation.

Most people can participate, but a private yacht outing still involves boarding a boat, moving around a marine environment, and possibly using water toys. If anyone in your group has mobility or health concerns, ask the operator about the practical boarding arrangements before paying.

The cancellation policy is straightforward. You receive a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours before the start time. Changes or cancellations inside 24 hours are not accepted for a refund. Since the outing requires good weather, a cancellation caused by poor conditions brings either a different date or a full refund.

Is the Olivia Grace worth booking?

I would book the Olivia Grace if you want a private Cabo day where the crew handles the work. The combination of a personal bartender, open bar, custom food, water toys, and attentive staff gives you more than a basic sightseeing ride. It is particularly appealing for a group of 8 to 10 people, since the price becomes easier to share.

Choose the longest practical charter if you want the best value. That gives you enough time to cruise near the Cabo Arch, eat without rushing, use the paddleboards, enjoy the open bar, and settle into the boat’s slower pace.

Before confirming, ask three questions: Is the Olivia Grace definitely the assigned yacht, what food choices are available for your date, and what water equipment and route are expected under current conditions? If the answers fit your plans, this is a strong choice for a celebratory or relaxed private day in Cabo. If you only want a quick look at the Arch, the price may be hard to defend.
