The best part of the Number Juan is that you get a full yacht, not a seat on a shared boat. Your group can cruise from Cabo San Lucas with a private chef, bartender, open bar, and a crew focused on your comfort. The water toys turn a polished boat ride into a proper afternoon on the Sea of Cortez.

I like the custom menu, especially for groups with allergies or special diets. I also like the crew service: Alex, Diego, Lupita, Letty, Saul, and Captain Gabby are named in past charters, with guests praising the food, quick drinks, careful water supervision, and smooth handling of the yacht.

The main consideration is price. At $4,925 per group of up to 10, this is a major splurge, and the cost makes most sense when shared among family or friends. Also confirm the exact guest limit when booking, since some past parties described groups larger than the stated limit.

Key points to know before booking

Number Juan 100ft Yacht Azimut Rental - Key points to know before booking

  • A 100-foot Azimut yacht: You have room to spread out, dine, listen to music, and move between shaded and open areas.
  • Private chef Saul and a custom menu: Past meals included sushi, fajitas, guacamole, and dinner portions large enough to leave leftovers.
  • A full drink service: The open bar features Number Juan tequila, with personal bartenders preparing cocktails throughout the cruise.
  • Water time is part of the appeal: Kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear, a Sea Bob, and swim mats are included.
  • A well-staffed charter: Crew members handle drinks, food, cleanup, music, photos, and water safety so you can relax.
  • Flexible timing: Charters run from about 3 hours to a full day, with resort or villa pickup available.

Why the Number Juan works for a private Cabo celebration

Number Juan 100ft Yacht Azimut Rental - Why the Number Juan works for a private Cabo celebration

The Number Juan is built for the sort of Cabo day when the boat itself is the destination. You are not simply using it to reach a beach or snorkel site. You get a private setting where the food, drinks, music, swimming, and views all happen around your group.

That matters for celebrations. A birthday party, post-wedding gathering, family reunion, or milestone dinner can feel more personal on a private yacht than in a busy restaurant. You can shape the pace around your group instead of following a fixed schedule.

The boat has four bedrooms, though a short charter does not automatically mean you are booking an overnight stay. The bedrooms add to the yacht’s size and comfort, but you should ask the operator how they are used for your chosen duration.

The arrangement is also good for mixed-age groups. One past party included people from age 6 to 85, and the crew helped keep the day comfortable for everyone. Younger passengers can enjoy the water toys while older family members stay aboard with a drink, a meal, and a view.

Boarding at the Cabo San Lucas marina

Number Juan 100ft Yacht Azimut Rental - Boarding at the Cabo San Lucas marina

The meeting point is the marina in Cabo San Lucas, and the cruise returns there at the end. If you are staying at a resort or villa, transportation can pick you up, which removes one of the more annoying parts of a large-group outing.

That pickup service has real value when several people are arriving from different rooms or properties. You do not have to arrange several taxis or ask one person to manage directions to the marina. Confirm the pickup time and location after booking, since the operator sends confirmation within 48 hours, subject to availability.

At the marina, expect the focus to shift quickly from logistics to onboard service. The crew is designated for your charter, with staff handling drinks, food, cleanup, and activities. One past group was welcomed with champagne, but I would treat that as a possible special touch rather than a guaranteed part of every booking.

The yacht is offered in English. Service animals are allowed, the marina is near public transportation, and most people can participate. Those details make the outing easier for a broad family or friend group, though anyone with specific mobility needs should ask the operator about access to each part of the boat before paying.

Settling into a 100-foot Azimut

A 100-foot yacht gives your group room to change the mood during the day. You can sit with the bartender, gather around a meal, listen to music, take photos, or move outside when it is time to swim.

The size also helps when not everyone wants the same thing. A few people may want to get in the water, while others prefer to stay dry. On a smaller boat, that can feel crowded. Here, you have more room to separate the active part of the group from the quiet part.

The Number Juan includes four bedrooms and dedicated staff. The bedrooms may be useful for a longer charter, but the available information does not promise overnight accommodation or explain sleeping arrangements. Ask before planning a multi-day or overnight stay.

Music is part of the social atmosphere. Past groups chose their own music, which is a small but important advantage over a standard group cruise with a fixed playlist. If you are marking a wedding or birthday, ask in advance about music, decorations, balloons, or a cake. Customized balloons and a customized cake have been arranged for past celebrations, but these should be confirmed as add-ons or special requests.

A menu built around local seafood and fresh ingredients

Number Juan 100ft Yacht Azimut Rental - A menu built around local seafood and fresh ingredients

The chef is one of the strongest reasons to choose this charter over a basic boat rental. The operator works with you before the cruise to build a menu from the available choices, and the kitchen uses local seafood and fresh ingredients.

This is more useful than a generic meal thrown together for a large boat. You can plan food around the age and appetite of your group, and you can flag allergies or dietary restrictions ahead of time. One group specifically praised the way the crew handled food restrictions.

Past meals have included sushi, fajitas, guacamole, and other dishes. Another group had enough dinner to feed 12 people with leftovers, though the stated booking capacity for this experience is up to 10. Use those examples as a guide to the type of food available, not as a fixed menu.

For a three-hour cruise, you might prefer a lighter spread with drinks and snacks. A four-hour cruise can allow more time for a substantial meal and a swim stop. A full-day charter gives the chef and crew more time to serve several courses, but you should ask exactly what is included for your selected duration.

The private chef also changes the rhythm of the trip. You are not forced to eat at one set moment if the group wants to stay in the water. Tell the crew what pace suits you, then let them coordinate the meal around the cruise.

Number Juan tequila and the open bar

Number Juan 100ft Yacht Azimut Rental - Number Juan tequila and the open bar

The open bar features Number Juan tequila, described as an award-winning tequila, along with cocktails prepared by a personal bartender. Past groups praised the speed of the drink service and the way Lupita and Letty kept drinks moving without letting service become intrusive.

That dedicated bartender is especially useful for a group celebrating. You are not sending one person below deck or leaving the conversation to make drinks. You can ask for cocktails, keep a nonalcoholic drink in hand, and let the crew manage the bar.

An open bar can also encourage overdoing it, especially with Cabo sun and time in the water. Pace yourself, drink water, and tell the crew if you need a break from alcohol. A private charter gives you more control, so use it.

The exact drink selection beyond Number Juan tequila is not listed. If anyone in your group wants a particular spirit, wine, beer, or a nonalcoholic option, ask for the current bar details before departure.

Swimming, snorkeling, and the water-toy lineup

Number Juan 100ft Yacht Azimut Rental - Swimming, snorkeling, and the water-toy lineup

The Number Juan includes kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear, a Sea Bob, and swim mats. That is a useful mix because it covers different comfort levels.

A paddleboard lets you stay above the water and move at an easy pace. A kayak offers a more stable seated option. Snorkel gear is suited to a quieter look below the surface, while the Sea Bob is the more energetic choice. Swim mats give people a place to float and rest without constantly treading water.

Past groups also jumped from the yacht and swam directly in the sea. Do not assume every activity will be available at every moment. Water conditions, weather, crew guidance, and the day’s route affect how the toys are used.

Safety is handled by the crew during water time. One past group specifically felt well supervised while swimming. Alex was praised for explaining safety instructions, and the staff helped people with activities in the water. Still, you remain responsible for following directions, watching children, and being honest about your swimming ability.

The toys are a major value point for families and active groups. If your party mainly wants to eat, drink, and take photos, you may not use them much. If the group wants a true day on the water, they help justify the cost.

Choosing between three hours, four hours, and a full day

Number Juan 100ft Yacht Azimut Rental - Choosing between three hours, four hours, and a full day

The experience is offered for roughly 3 hours to 1 day. That range gives you room to match the charter to your plans and budget.

A three-hour cruise suits a birthday toast, a sunset outing, or a first taste of private yachting. It is long enough to enjoy the boat, eat, have drinks, and possibly stop for water time, but it will feel scheduled.

A four-hour cruise gives you a more comfortable pace. One past party chose a 3 to 7 p.m. charter and found that length worked well for a large birthday gathering. Four hours can cover boarding, a scenic cruise, food, swimming, and a relaxed return without making the day feel endless.

A full-day charter is better for a group that wants the boat to be the main event. You will have more time for water toys, a long meal, photos, and changing between active and quiet parts of the yacht. The tradeoff is cost, and the total price may depend on the exact duration and arrangements.

Ask for a clear schedule before booking. The available information does not name specific stops or promise a particular route. Past groups have cruised along the Cabo coast, including between San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas, and one group saw whales along the way. Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, but the route can offer broad coastal views.

What the crew adds to the experience

Number Juan 100ft Yacht Azimut Rental - What the crew adds to the experience

A private yacht can feel ordinary if the service is slow or scattered. Here, the staff is a major part of the product.

Alex has been praised for speaking clear English, explaining the experience, and checking that the day runs smoothly. Diego has helped with activities, music, photos, and small practical tasks, including cleaning sunglasses. That last detail sounds minor, but it shows the kind of attentive service that makes a long boat day easier.

Lupita and Letty have handled drinks, while chef Saul has prepared the food. Captain Gabby has been named for navigating the yacht smoothly through the Sea of Cortez. Crew assignments can change, so treat these names as examples of the service style rather than a promise that every person will be onboard.

The staff also handles cleanup as the day goes on. That lets you keep eating, swimming, or talking without a pile of plates taking over the seating area. For a private group, this background work is part of the value.

Is $4,925 a fair price?

The listed price is $4,925 per group of up to 10. Split evenly, that is about $493 per person before any additional arrangements, assuming you fill all 10 places.

That is expensive, but the comparison is not simply against a standard sightseeing cruise. The price includes a 100-foot yacht, a dedicated crew, a private chef, personal bartender, open bar, water equipment, and pickup from a resort or villa. You are paying for privacy, staff, food, drinks, and control over the day.

The value improves when you fill the permitted capacity and use the features. A group of 10 that eats a full meal, uses the water toys, and spends several hours aboard gets more from the fee than a smaller group that only wants a quick cruise.

A smaller group may still consider it worthwhile for a major birthday, wedding event, or family occasion. But if your budget is tight, a shared cruise or shorter boat rental will likely be easier to justify. Ask what changes when you choose 3 hours instead of a full day, and confirm all taxes, transportation details, menu arrangements, and special celebration costs.

Who should book the Number Juan

I would point this charter toward groups that want privacy and service more than a bargain. It suits families with different ages, friends celebrating together, wedding parties, and anyone who wants food and drinks handled onboard.

It is also a good fit for people who want choices. You can swim, paddleboard, snorkel, kayak, use the Sea Bob, listen to your music, or simply sit with a drink. That flexibility is hard to get on a tightly scheduled group boat.

I would be more cautious if your party is small, price-sensitive, or mainly interested in one short activity. You may not use a 100-foot yacht, private chef, and full staff enough to make the fee feel worthwhile.

Book at least a few weeks ahead if your dates matter. The experience is often reserved about 16 days in advance, and confirmation is subject to availability. Since weather matters, keep some flexibility if possible.

Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Within 24 hours, changes and refunds are not accepted. If poor weather cancels the trip, you can receive a different date or a full refund.

Should you book this Cabo yacht?

Book the Number Juan if you want your Cabo outing to feel like a private event rather than a simple boat ride. The strongest reasons are the chef-prepared menu, attentive drink service, broad water-toy selection, and crew support from boarding through the return to the marina.

The price is the clear hurdle. Fill the allowed capacity, plan a meaningful celebration, and choose enough time to use the boat properly. If you do that, the private setting and all-inclusive service can make the cost reasonable for a special day.

Before paying, confirm the guest limit, exact charter length, pickup details, menu, drink selection, water activities, and any birthday or wedding extras. If those details fit your group, the Number Juan offers one of Cabo’s more polished ways to spend a day on the Sea of Cortez.
