Pelican 11 cuts a low wake across Medano Bay, a 55-foot catamaran built for groups who want private comfort and a little salt in the air. Based in Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur, Mexico, this two-hour private charter for up to 30 guests turns an afternoon or sunset into a compact coastal escape.
Onboard the Pelican 11 you’ll find sunbeds, lounge seating, a full galley and a sound system that keeps the vibe personal. The basic package includes snacks, bottled water, soft drinks, Mexican beer, snorkeling gear, two SUP boards, a floating mat and life vests. Upgrades let you add a chef, taco bar, full menus, or premium open-bar packages; the crew will tailor the flow from shore to sea.
The itinerary reads like a short course in Cabo’s coastline: depart from the marina, cruise Medano Bay, anchor off a semi-private beach for snorkeling and paddleboarding, then head toward El Arco — the Arch — and Land’s End. Expect dramatic granite outcrops, Pelican Rock, Neptune’s Finger, Lovers Beach and the noisy Sea Lion Colony. In winter months (roughly December–April) migrating gray and humpback whales can punctuate the horizon with breaching displays.
What makes Pelican 11 special is the combination of private-cabin comfort and active water time. Small groups can swim from the ladder, paddle to a quiet sand bar, or simply stretch out on the trampoline-like netting and watch the coastline move by. The boat’s size lets it slip into calmer coves that larger vessels can’t reach, creating a semi-secluded stop for snorkeling over reefs crowded with colorful tropical fish and foragers like sea turtles.
Safety and family-friendly policies are clear: life jackets are provided, minors must be supervised, and the crew enforces rules to keep the tour enjoyable for everyone. Practical details: the two-hour private charter rate starts at $3,100 for up to 30 guests (taxes and gratuity extra); arrive at the marina a few minutes early to check in.
This trip is ideal for groups who want a condensed taste of Cabo’s best shoreline — iconic geology, approachable marine wildlife, and the kind of private service that makes a sunset feel like your own. Book Pelican 11 when you want group-friendly flexibility, water play, and a polished, local crew to handle the logistics so you can concentrate on the sea.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, quick-dry layers and a waterproof camera to capture snorkeling moments and photos of sea lions sunning on the rocks. The crew provides life vests and basic gear; additional services like private chefs or premium bars require advance notice. For special occasions book early during high season; weekends and holiday sunsets fill fast, and itinerary adjustments are possible to match sea conditions and preferences, and local advice.
