Number Juan 100ft Yacht Azimut Rental

The best part of the Number Juan is that it feels like a private floating celebration, not simply a boat ride. You cruise Cabo’s coast with a chef preparing fresh food, drinks made to order, and a crew that keeps an eye on comfort and safety. The 100-foot yacht also gives your group room to spread out, eat, swim, and relax.

I especially like the custom menu planning and the range of water gear, from kayaks and paddleboards to snorkeling equipment and a Sea Bob. I also like the personal service: Alex and Diego help organize the day, Lupita and Letty handle drinks, Saul cooks, and Captain Gabby guides the yacht. The main consideration is price, and you should also confirm the permitted group size because the advertised rate is for up to 10 people, while one past charter had 25 aboard.

Key points to know before booking

• A 100-foot Azimut yacht: You get four bedrooms, open spaces, and a proper crewed vessel rather than a basic day boat.
• Chef Saul’s onboard cooking: Menus can include local seafood, sushi, fajitas, guacamole, and other fresh dishes, with food restrictions discussed in advance.
• A full service crew: Alex, Diego, Lupita, Letty, Saul, and Captain Gabby have specific roles that keep the day organized and personal.
• Water time is built in: Paddleboards, kayaks, snorkeling gear, a Sea Bob, and swim mats give you more to do than simply sit on deck.
• Flexible charter length: The booking can run from about 3 hours to a full day, so a sunset outing and a longer coastal cruise are both possible.
• Resort pickup is offered: Transportation can collect you at your resort or villa and return you to the marina meeting point.

What the Number Juan experience is really like

The Number Juan is designed for a private group that wants Cabo’s water, food, and service in one package. You meet at the marina in Cabo San Lucas, or arrange pickup from your resort or villa. From there, the crew handles the practical work while you settle into the yacht.

This is not a bare-bones charter where you bring a cooler and figure out the rest. The package includes a private chef, personal bartender, open bar, designated staff, and water equipment. That matters because each part of the day runs together: lunch can lead to a swim, a swim can lead to paddleboarding, and the afternoon can finish with music and sunset views.

The yacht has four bedrooms, which gives your group private indoor space and a place to cool down. The information provided does not describe sleeping arrangements or overnight stays, so I would treat the bedrooms as part of the yacht’s onboard comfort unless the operator tells you otherwise.

The experience is offered in English, and the crew members named in the feedback include Alex, Diego, Lupita, Letty, Saul, and Captain Gabby. Alex is described as a chief steward who keeps the group organized and reinforces safety instructions. Diego helps with the activities and even became known for cleaning sunglasses. Those little touches tell you what kind of service to expect: attentive and hands-on rather than formal and distant.

From resort pickup to the Cabo marina

Pickup is available at your resort or villa, which is useful if you are staying outside central Cabo San Lucas or simply want to avoid arranging a taxi for a large group. The boat itself departs from the marina in Cabo San Lucas, and the activity ends back there.

You should allow time for the transfer and marina arrival, though the supplied information does not give a fixed pickup window. Confirmation is sent within 48 hours of booking, subject to availability. Since this is a private yacht and the requested menu may need planning, do not leave the reservation until the last minute if your group has a firm date.

The average booking lead time is about 16 days. That is a sensible planning target, especially for birthdays, post-wedding celebrations, or larger family groups. The yacht is often used for special events, and customized balloons and cake have been arranged for past celebrations.

At the marina, expect an introduction to the crew and a safety explanation before the yacht gets underway. Alex has been singled out for making sure everyone understands the plan, while Captain Gabby handles the yacht. You will want to listen closely to the water safety briefing, particularly if children or older relatives are joining you.

Cruising the Sea of Cortez

Once you leave the marina, the main attraction is the view from the water. The route can take you along Cabo’s coast and into the Sea of Cortez, with the exact plan shaped by your time, weather, and preferences.

A three-hour charter works well if you want a taste of the yacht experience, a swim, food, and a look at Cabo from the water. Four hours gives the day more breathing room. One past group found a 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. cruise to be a comfortable length, with time for cruising, eating, swimming, and sunset.

A longer charter makes more sense if you want to use several water toys without rushing. You might spend one stretch cruising, another anchored for swimming, and another eating or relaxing on deck. The supplied information does not promise a fixed route or named sightseeing stops, so think of this as a flexible private outing rather than a guaranteed sightseeing circuit.

Whales have been seen during at least one trip between San Jose and Cabo, but whale sightings are not guaranteed. The same applies to specific wildlife, water conditions, and sunset views. You get the freedom of a private route, but that also means the final itinerary depends on conditions and the captain’s judgment.

Chef Saul’s food and the open bar

Food is one of the strongest reasons to choose this charter over a simpler boat rental. Before the trip, you work with the company to create a menu from the available options. The chef uses local seafood and fresh ingredients, and food allergies or dietary restrictions can be accommodated when arranged ahead of time.

Past menus have included sushi, fajitas, guacamole, and other dishes substantial enough to feed a group with leftovers. That range is useful for mixed parties. Some people may want seafood, while children or cautious eaters may prefer something familiar. A custom menu lets you address those differences before boarding instead of trying to improvise at sea.

I would send clear details about allergies, dislikes, and meal timing when you book. The supplied information confirms that dietary restrictions are supported, but it does not list every menu option or guarantee a particular dish. Ask what is available for your date and group before finalizing the meal.

The open bar features Number Juan tequila, described as an award-winning tequila, along with cocktails. Lupita and Letty handle drinks, and the service is intended to continue throughout the charter. That can be a major convenience for a celebration, since nobody in your group needs to monitor ice, mixers, or glasses.

Still, an open bar can shape the mood of the day. If you are bringing children, older family members, or people who do not drink, confirm that the nonalcoholic choices suit your group. The data supplied confirms the open bar, but it does not specify a full soft drink menu.

Swimming and water toys

The Number Juan includes kayaks, paddleboards, snorkeling gear, a Sea Bob, and swim mats. These are not just decorative extras. They give your group choices once the yacht stops for time in the water.

You can swim directly from the yacht, relax on a floating mat, or try a paddleboard. Kayaks provide a quieter way to explore close to the boat, while snorkeling equipment lets you look below the surface if visibility and conditions cooperate. The Sea Bob adds a more active option for people who want to move through the water with less effort.

The crew’s role matters here. Several people have been assigned to watch over swimmers and help with the equipment, and one group specifically felt safe while children and adults were in the water. You should still follow the crew’s directions and judge your own comfort honestly. The presence of staff does not remove the need for normal water caution.

The exact swimming location is not guaranteed in the supplied information. Conditions, safety, and the captain’s decision will determine where and when you stop. If swimming is your top priority, say so when discussing the plan, but understand that weather and sea conditions can change the route.

Why the crew makes a difference

A private yacht only feels relaxing when somebody else is managing the details. The Number Juan uses designated staff for hosting, drinks, cooking, and navigation, so you are not expected to serve lunch, steer the boat, or keep track of every piece of equipment.

Alex is described as a strong point of contact who speaks English well and keeps the outing moving. Diego helps explain the experience, checks in with the group, assists with water activities, and handles small comforts such as cleaning sunglasses. Lupita and Letty keep drinks moving, while Saul prepares the meal. Captain Gabby is responsible for the yacht and has been praised for smooth handling.

That division of labor is especially helpful for a group with different ages. A birthday party included people from age 6 to 85, and the crew worked to keep everyone involved. The yacht can therefore suit a mixed family gathering, provided everyone understands the physical demands of boarding, swimming, and moving around on a boat.

The tone appears friendly rather than stiff. You can choose your own music, take photos, eat when ready, and use the water equipment. For a special event, that relaxed control is often more valuable than a highly scripted program.

The cost and who gets good value

The listed price is $4,925 per group for up to 10 people. That is a substantial charge, but the correct comparison is not simply the cost of a boat seat. The rate includes a 100-foot yacht, professional crew, chef, bartender, open bar, food planning, resort pickup, and water equipment.

For a full group of 10, the listed rate works out to about $492.50 per person before any additional details are considered. If you use the yacht for only three hours, the price feels much harder to justify. For a longer charter with a meal, several rounds of drinks, swimming, and a celebration, the package makes more sense.

The value improves when you would otherwise arrange several separate services: transportation, catering, drinks, equipment rental, and a boat. It also improves for groups that care about privacy and service. If your priority is simply seeing the Cabo coastline on a budget, a smaller shared cruise will likely be a better fit.

Pay close attention to the capacity. The stated rate covers up to 10 people, yet one celebration included 25 people aboard the yacht. That may reflect a different arrangement, a special capacity rule, or a separate price. Do not assume that 11 or more people can be added at the same rate. Ask Cabo Yacht Charters to confirm the legal and practical capacity for your date, along with any revised cost.

Best occasions for the Number Juan

This charter makes the most sense for a milestone event. It has been used for a joint 60th birthday, a post-wedding gathering, and group celebrations with customized cake and balloons.

It also suits families who want one private setting for several generations. The combination of food, shade or indoor space, water activities, and attentive staff gives people different ways to spend the day. A child can enjoy a paddleboard, an older relative can stay aboard, and the group can come together for lunch.

Couples or small groups can book it too, but the cost per person will be higher if you do not fill the available group size. If you are traveling with only two or three people, compare the private yacht price with smaller private boats before committing.

This is not the best choice for someone who wants a strict sightseeing itinerary, independent sailing, or a quiet minimalist day. The appeal is service, comfort, food, drinks, and a flexible party atmosphere.

Booking details and cancellation

The activity offers mobile tickets and English-language service. Service animals are allowed, and the meeting point is near public transportation. Most people can participate, though you should tell the operator about mobility limits or other needs before booking because the supplied information does not describe boarding arrangements.

Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the start time. Changes made within 24 hours are not accepted, and cancellations inside that window are not refunded. The cutoff uses local Cabo time.

Good weather is required. If poor weather cancels the charter, you will be offered another date or a full refund. Since the cruise depends on sea conditions, keep some flexibility in your plans if possible.

Should you book the Number Juan?

I would book the Number Juan for a group celebration, family reunion, birthday, or post-wedding day when you want the boat, meal, drinks, transport, and crew handled in one package. The strongest reasons are the 100-foot yacht, the flexible water time, the custom food planning, and the staff members who take care of small details as well as major ones.

I would pause if your group is small, your budget is tight, or you mainly want a short sightseeing cruise. Before paying, confirm the exact duration, menu, pickup time, group capacity, and planned route. If those details fit your needs, this is a polished and highly personal way to spend time off Cabo’s coast.
