The best part of Olivia Grace is the privacy. You get the whole 60-foot yacht for your group, not a seat on a crowded party boat, with a captain, dedicated crew, bartender, chef-prepared food, and water toys ready for use. The Cabo Arch and open water provide the setting, while the crew handles the practical work.

I like two things in particular: the menu can be planned around your tastes and dietary needs, and the yacht has enough room for a group of 10 to spread out. The open bar, paddleboards, floating lily pad, and sound system make the day easy to shape around swimming, lounging, or a celebration.

The main consideration is price. At $2,499 per group, this makes the most sense when you fill the boat with friends or family. One past booking also raised concern about the boat matching the pictures and about the food, so I would confirm the exact yacht and menu before paying.

Key points to know before booking

Olivia Grace 60 ft British Princess Yacht Rental - Key points to know before booking

  • Private yacht for up to 10: The price covers the group, which works out to about $250 per person if you fill every place.
  • Cabo Arch and water time: The outing can include time near the Arch, swimming, snorkeling, paddleboarding, and use of a floating lily pad.
  • Food planned before departure: You can work with the charter team to choose from available menu options, including choices for allergies and dietary restrictions.
  • Dedicated crew and bartender: The service includes a professional staff, personal bartender, open bar, and captain.
  • Flexible length: The charter runs from about three hours to a full day, depending on the option you book.
  • Weather matters: Bad weather can lead to a different date or a full refund, while cancellations made at least 24 hours ahead receive a full refund.

Setting out from Cabo San Lucas Marina

Olivia Grace 60 ft British Princess Yacht Rental - Setting out from Cabo San Lucas Marina

Olivia Grace begins at Cabo San Lucas Marina in Centro, at 23453 Cabo San Lucas, BCS. Pickup is offered, but the stated meeting point is the marina, so confirm the pickup arrangement and timing when you book. The activity ends back at the same meeting point.

The marina is a practical starting place for a private charter. You avoid the long transfer routine that often comes with a day trip outside town, and you can settle into your own boat from the start. The available confirmation window is within 48 hours, subject to availability, so I would not leave this booking until the last minute, especially since the average booking lead time is about 46 days.

Once aboard, the crew welcomes you with drinks and food. One birthday group received welcome drinks, appetizers, balloons, and a cake with the birthday person’s name. That sort of detail is worth requesting in advance if you are marking a birthday or another special event. It is not something I would assume comes with every booking, but the charter team has shown it can arrange personal touches.

What the 60-foot yacht gives your group

The size matters less as a number than as a comfort factor. Olivia Grace has five staterooms, a staff assigned to the yacht, and room for up to 10 people. You can gather around food and drinks, move toward the water for activities, or find a quieter spot when the music and conversation get lively.

The onboard setup is aimed at a full private day rather than a short sightseeing ride. You have a personal bartender, open bar, food service, paddleboards, and other water toys. A floating lily pad was used on one outing, giving people a place to sit in the water instead of swimming continuously.

I also like that the yacht can suit mixed groups. Children and adults can take different approaches to the day, with some people using the toys, others eating and talking, and others simply enjoying the ride. The information provided says most people can participate, and service animals are allowed.

The sound system is another useful feature for celebrations. One birthday group danced during the trip, while another family group used the water toys with people of different ages. Still, music can change the feel of a boat quickly, so discuss your preferred style with the person arranging the charter if the mood matters to you.

Food planning, from seafood to simple lunch

Olivia Grace 60 ft British Princess Yacht Rental - Food planning, from seafood to simple lunch

The food is not treated as an afterthought. The menu uses local seafood and other local ingredients, and the charter team works with you before the outing to create a menu from the available choices. Food allergies and dietary restrictions can be accommodated, but you should raise them during the planning stage rather than at boarding.

The meals can vary. One outing included beautifully presented chef-prepared dishes. Another served club sandwiches, fruit, and assorted snacks, with drinks throughout the trip. That range tells you something useful: this is not one fixed restaurant menu, and the final meal depends on the selections made for your charter.

I would ask three clear questions before departure:

  • What exact dishes are available for your date?
  • Which food and drinks are included in the quoted price?
  • Can the chef accommodate each allergy or dietary restriction?

Most food feedback has been very strong, with special praise for presentation and flavor, but one booking found the food disappointing. That criticism is worth taking seriously without letting it erase the broader picture. The safest approach is to discuss the menu in detail and confirm the choices in writing.

Cruising toward the Cabo Arch

Olivia Grace 60 ft British Princess Yacht Rental - Cruising toward the Cabo Arch

The most recognizable sight connected with this outing is the Cabo Arch. The route details are not fixed in the information provided, so I would think of the Arch as a likely highlight rather than a guaranteed timed stop at a particular hour.

The Arch is best appreciated from the water, where you can take in the rock formations without a land tour crowd around you. A private yacht gives you time to enjoy the view at your own pace, take pictures, and return to conversation or lunch when you are ready.

The boat ride itself can be part of the appeal. One outing was described as smooth, with plenty of room on board. That does not guarantee identical conditions every day, since sea and weather conditions change, but the yacht is set up for comfort rather than a basic transport run.

A three-hour charter will feel more focused. You can enjoy the ride, see the Cabo Arch, have food and drinks, and fit in a short water stop if conditions and timing allow. A longer charter gives you more breathing room for swimming, snorkeling, food, music, and idle time. If your group wants all of those pieces without watching the clock, a half-day or full-day option is the better value.

Swimming, snorkeling, and paddleboard time

The water activities give the charter its active side. The available equipment includes paddleboards and other water toys, with a floating lily pad specifically used on a past outing. Snorkeling was also part of one group’s day.

You should treat these activities as an opportunity rather than a guaranteed sequence of stops. The supplied details do not name a fixed snorkeling site, give water temperature, or promise a particular amount of time in the water. Ask about the planned water area when booking, especially if snorkeling is the main reason you want the yacht.

I like the way the water gear broadens the appeal. You do not need every person in your group to be a strong swimmer or an enthusiastic snorkeler. Some can use the paddleboard, some can sit on the floating mat, and others can remain on deck with a drink. The boat works best when the group has different ideas about what makes a good afternoon.

Bring a practical attitude about conditions. Wind, waves, and weather may affect which activities are comfortable or possible. The charter requires good weather, and poor conditions can lead to a new date or a full refund.

Service that shapes the day

Olivia Grace 60 ft British Princess Yacht Rental - Service that shapes the day

The crew is a major part of the experience. Olivia Grace includes a captain, dedicated staff, and personal bartender. The strongest praise has focused on helpful service, professional conduct, attention to detail, and a friendly approach.

That matters more on a private charter than on a standard sightseeing cruise. The crew can keep drinks moving, serve food, help with the water toys, and make the day feel organized without forcing everyone into a rigid schedule. You still need to communicate clearly, since the crew cannot guess your preferred pace, meal timing, music level, or activity priorities.

Special events seem to be a natural fit. A birthday cake and named balloons turned a regular boat day into a personal celebration. If you want a similar arrangement, include the request when you plan the charter. The available details do not say that decorations or cakes are standard inclusions.

The staff praise is consistent, but the mixed food and boat-picture feedback shows why it is wise to separate service from the rest of the purchase. You can have an excellent crew and still want clearer information about the exact yacht or menu.

Is $2,499 a good value?

Olivia Grace 60 ft British Princess Yacht Rental - Is $2,499 a good value?

The price is $2,499 for a group of up to 10. At full capacity, that is roughly $250 per person. For a private yacht with a captain, dedicated staff, bartender, open bar, food, five staterooms, and water toys, that is a different value calculation from buying 10 individual seats on a standard cruise.

The price looks strongest for a reunion, birthday, family gathering, or group of close friends who would otherwise spend heavily on separate meals, drinks, and activities. You also pay for control. Your group gets its own boat, its own food plan, and time arranged around your interests.

The value is weaker for a small party. If only two or three people are sharing the charter, the per-person cost rises sharply, and you may not use the yacht’s full capacity or all five staterooms. A shorter charter may make more sense if your main goal is seeing the Cabo Arch and having a meal on the water.

I would compare the three-hour option with a half-day or full-day choice based on how your group spends time. A short outing suits sightseeing and a taste of the boat. A longer day makes the open bar, meal planning, water toys, and roomy layout more useful.

Who will enjoy Olivia Grace most?

Olivia Grace 60 ft British Princess Yacht Rental - Who will enjoy Olivia Grace most?

I would recommend this charter to people who value privacy and service over the lowest possible price. It fits groups that want to celebrate, families with different activity levels, and friends who want a day that moves between food, conversation, music, and water time.

It is also a good match for anyone who wants a more personal meal than the usual boat buffet. The ability to plan the menu matters if you have a food allergy, a dietary restriction, or simply strong preferences about seafood and local ingredients.

I would be more cautious if your main goal is a highly specific snorkeling route, a guaranteed fixed itinerary, or the cheapest way to get on the water. The available information does not promise a named snorkeling location or a detailed route, and one booking raised concerns about the boat shown in the pictures.

Before you commit, confirm the exact yacht, the charter length, the food choices, the water-toy plan, and the pickup details. Those questions take only a few minutes and can prevent the two main disappointments: a mismatch between expectations and the boat, and a menu that does not suit your group.

Booking and cancellation details

You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations or changes made within 24 hours are not accepted for a refund, and the cutoff uses Cabo’s local time.

The charter requires good weather. If poor weather causes the company to cancel, you can choose another date or receive a full refund. Confirmation arrives within 48 hours of booking, subject to availability.

The activity is offered in English, has mobile ticketing, and is near public transportation. Pickup is offered, though the listed start and end point is Cabo San Lucas Marina. Service animals are allowed, and most people can participate.

Should you book Olivia Grace?

Book it if you can fill much of the yacht and want a private Cabo day built around your group. The strongest reasons are the attentive staff, open bar, flexible food planning, generous room, and choice of water activities. A birthday, family reunion, or relaxed day with friends is where the $2,499 price makes the most sense.

Think twice if you are booking for only a few people or if you need a tightly specified route. Confirm the yacht and menu first, then choose the charter length that gives you enough time for the Arch, food, and water without rushing. With those points settled, Olivia Grace offers a polished, flexible way to spend time on the sea around Cabo.
