Pelican 11 cuts a calm silhouette through the blue off Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur, Mexico. This 55‑foot catamaran—offered as the "2 Hour Rental 11-20 Guests" private charter—puts Medano Bay, secluded beaches, and the famous El Arco within reach for small groups seeking a tailored ocean escape. Onboard comforts include sunbeds, lounge seating, a full kitchen (available for a private chef), Bluetooth sound, and life vests; the basic package supplies snacks, Mexican beer, soft drinks, and snorkeling and paddle gear.
Board at the marina and skim past Pelican Rock, Neptune’s Finger, and the Sea Lion Colony on a short loop that crescendos at Land’s End. The Arch, a dramatic rock formation where Pacific meets Sea of Cortez, is the trip’s photo-worthy anchor; nearby Lover’s Beach and Divorce Beach present contrasting shorelines—gentle cove and pounding surf—bookending the route. The captain will often drop anchor on a semi-private beach inside Medano Bay for snorkeling among colorful reef fish and the occasional sea turtle; paddleboards and a floating mat make it easy to drift and soak up the sun.
What sets this charter apart is the private, customizable nature of the experience. Pelican 11 (formerly Deck By The Sea) balances comfort and activity: guests can snack on guacamole, chips, and crudités provided in the basic package or upgrade to a taco bar, a chef‑prepared full menu, or several levels of open‑bar service. The vessel’s layout makes it suitable for celebrations, sunset cruises, or quiet family outings; the crew handles music, safety briefings, and local navigation so you can relax.
Timing matters. Whale watching peaks December through April, while calm summer seas favor easy snorkeling and swimming. The crew emphasizes respectful wildlife viewing and local rules—no chasing sea lions, no touching marine life—to protect the fragile coastal ecosystem. Practical notes: bring reef‑safe sunscreen, a towel, and a waterproof camera; children under 12 must be supervised by an adult. Tax and gratuity are extra; rates listed exclude the standard 16% tax and 10% gratuity.
For travelers based in Cabo San Lucas, this short charter compresses the best coastal visuals and marine access into a compact, memorable outing—a high‑impact way to feel the region’s ocean energy without committing to a full‑day expedition.
