Everyone knows Cabo\u2019s famous Arch, but most first-time visitors have no idea how much sits within a 20-minute cruise of the marina. Here\u2019s the route a typical private charter takes and why a full day on the water is one of the best ways to see Los Cabos.<\/p>\n

Leaving the Marina: The Land\u2019s End Show<\/h2>\n

Within minutes of leaving the dock, you\u2019re cruising past the granite formations of Land\u2019s End\u2014the dramatic tip of the Baja Peninsula where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez.<\/p>\n

Your captain will slow down for the highlights:<\/p>\n

El Arco\u2014the Arch<\/h3>\n

Cabo\u2019s defining landmark. The water is the only place to see it properly, and your crew knows exactly where to position the yacht for the best view and photographs.<\/p>\n

Lover\u2019s Beach and Divorce Beach<\/h3>\n

This narrow stretch of sand has two very different sides: the calm Sea of Cortez side, known as Lover\u2019s Beach, and the rough Pacific side, known as Divorce Beach. The beaches are accessible only by boat.<\/p>\n

The Sea Lion Colony<\/h3>\n

A lively group of sea lions regularly lounges on the rocks at Land\u2019s End. They\u2019re loud, entertaining and usually a favorite with children.<\/p>\n

Pelican Rock<\/h3>\n

One of the closest snorkeling locations to the marina, Pelican Rock has tropical fish living just beneath the surface and is a convenient stop for shorter charters.<\/p>\n

Cruising the Corridor: The Best Bays in Los Cabos<\/h2>\n

With a half-day or full-day yacht charter<\/a>, you can continue along the coastline toward San Jos\u00e9 del Cabo. This stretch, known as the Tourist Corridor, is home to some of the area\u2019s best swimming and snorkeling locations.<\/p>\n

Santa Maria Bay<\/h3>\n

Santa Maria is a horseshoe-shaped cove and protected marine sanctuary. Its calm, clear water is home to sergeant majors, angelfish, rays and other marine life. It is widely considered one of the best snorkeling locations in Los Cabos.<\/p>\n

Chileno Bay<\/h3>\n

Chileno is another protected reef area with excellent visibility. It is often slightly quieter than Santa Maria and is a popular place to swim, snorkel and relax at anchor.<\/p>\n

Palmilla<\/h3>\n

Palmilla offers a calm, scenic anchorage in front of one of the region\u2019s most attractive beaches. It is an ideal location for a swim stop followed by lunch on board.<\/p>\n

The Difference a Private Yacht Makes<\/h2>\n

Large shared catamarans generally visit the Arch before following a fixed route and schedule. On a private charter, the itinerary and pace can be shaped around your group.<\/p>\n
