A Glimpse of Your Private Sunset Sail
Tour Information & FAQs
The private sunset sail runs 3 hours on the water, with the round-trip shuttle on either end.
- Hotel pickup: our shuttle collects you and drives you to the marina in San Jose del Cabo
- Under 30 minutes: the ride from almost any hotel in Los Cabos
- Boarding: welcome drink in hand as the crew casts off
- 3 hours: sailing the Sea of Cortez, with the sunset as the turning point of the trip
- Return: back to the marina, then the shuttle drops you at your hotel
Expect a calm, unhurried sail rather than a packed activity schedule. Our crew handles the boat and walks you through the basics if you want to steer, and there are trolling rods on board for anyone who wants to fish. Sea conditions in Los Cabos shift with the season, so the crew sets the route for comfort on windier evenings.
A charcuterie sampler with seasonal fruit is served on board, and the national open bar runs the whole trip.
- Welcome drink: mimosa for adults, juice for kids
- Spirits: tequila, vodka, rum and whisky
- Wine: white and sparkling
- Non-alcoholic: water, soda and juice
The boat is steady and the sailing is easy, but a few conditions rule people out.
- Minimum age is 5 years old
- We do not take pregnant guests on this trip
- Not recommended for anyone with neck, back or heart conditions, or limited mobility
- Some previous time on the water helps if you plan to sail or fish, though it is not required to come along
- Parents stay responsible for minors throughout, since the crew is busy running the boat
Yes. Xaman-Ha Connections® runs this sunset sail with a licensed captain and crew, on a vessel cleared for private charters out of San Jose del Cabo. Insurance coverage is part of the package. We have also been featured in Forbes and Kayak. See more about our team and credentials on our About page.
The Sea of Cortez is the water Jacques Cousteau called “the aquarium of the world” for its marine life, sheltered between the Baja peninsula and mainland Mexico. Leaving from San Jose del Cabo puts you on open water for golden hour within minutes of the marina.
On a shared cruise you board with dozens of strangers, follow a fixed schedule and queue at the bar. At Xaman-Ha Connections® the whole 50-foot sailboat is held for your group of up to 8, the crew works only for you, and the music, the pace and the moment you open the bar are yours to set.
Not always. If you are travelling solo or as a couple on a tight budget, a shared sunset cruise costs a fraction of a private charter and still gets you the sunset. This sail earns its price when you are a group, a family or a celebration that wants the deck to itself.
San Jose del Cabo Sunset Sail – Practical Travel Guide
What comes on board is a charcuterie sampler with seasonal fruit, so there is always fruit on the table for anyone avoiding meat or gluten. Tell us your dietary needs when you book and we pass them to the crew before they provision the boat.
Yes. You can cancel or reschedule free of charge up to 24 hours before departure for a full refund, requested by email. If the port closes or the sea is unsafe on the day, we move you to another date or refund you in full. See our Cancellation Policy for full details.
Often yes, though the crew provisions the boat ahead of each trip, so a next-day request depends on there being time to prepare. Contact us directly via WhatsApp for a quick response. Availability is not guaranteed in peak season.
Pack light, the shuttle and the boat cover the rest.
- Comfortable clothing, sunglasses and a hat or cap
- A swimsuit
- A light sweater or jacket, evenings on the water get cool
- Biodegradable sunscreen and a towel
- A camera or GoPro for the sunset
- A Bluetooth or USB device if you want your own music on board
- Cash for gratuities and souvenirs
No, gratuities are not included. If the crew made your evening, cash handed over directly at the end is the way to do it.
The base rate covers up to 8 guests. The boat is cleared for 16, so a bigger group is welcome, with a per-person charge for each guest beyond the eighth. Give us your final headcount when you book so the crew provisions correctly.
