Number Juan 100ft Yacht Azimut Rental

Cabo looks best from the water. The Number Juan combines a 100-foot Azimut yacht with a private chef, personal bartender, and a full set of water toys, so your group can shape the day around food, swimming, music, and views. I especially like the made-to-order menu and the attentive crew, including chef Saul, bartenders Lupita and Letty, and captain Gabby. The main drawback is the price: $4,925 for up to 10 people is a serious splurge, even when divided among a group.

I also like the included resort or villa pickup, which removes a common Cabo headache. You can book anything from about three hours to a full day, giving you room for a short afternoon sail or a longer celebration. Just confirm the exact duration, route, passenger count, and menu before paying, since the advertised rate covers up to 10 people while some past celebrations had larger groups.

Key points at a glance

• A full crew, not a bare boat rental: The Number Juan comes with designated staff, a captain, chef, and bartender service.
• Chef-prepared food onboard: Menus can include local seafood and fresh ingredients, with options for allergies and dietary restrictions.
• Water time is part of the plan: Kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear, a Sea Bob, and swim mats are available.
• Pickup from your resort or villa: Transportation to the Cabo San Lucas marina is offered.
• A flexible private charter: Choose a roughly three-hour outing, a four-hour celebration, or a longer day on the water.
• The strongest praise goes to the crew: Alex, Diego, Lupita, Letty, Saul, and captain Gabby are repeatedly singled out for service, food, safety, and smooth handling.

Arriving at the Cabo San Lucas marina

The experience begins at the marina in Cabo San Lucas, but you do not necessarily need to arrange your own way there. Pickup is offered from your resort or villa, a useful perk if you are staying outside the marina area or planning a special event with several people.

The boat returns to the same meeting point at the end. That makes the day simple to organize, especially if you have dinner plans afterward. Your confirmation arrives within 48 hours of booking, subject to availability, so do not treat a request as final until the operator confirms it.

Because this is a private charter, the start time matters more than it would on a standard public cruise. Ask for the exact pickup time, the time you will board, and how much of the booked period is spent in transit. A three-hour rental can feel quite different from a full day once transportation and marina procedures are taken into account.

The marina is the practical beginning, but the real appeal starts once the yacht leaves the dock. From there, the day is less about checking off fixed sights and more about using the boat as your private base along the Cabo coast.

Touring the coast aboard a 100-foot Azimut

The Number Juan is a large yacht with four bedrooms, open deck areas, and enough room for a celebration or a relaxed family outing. The size matters because you are not simply sitting in one lounge for several hours. You can move between shaded and sunny areas, eat, listen to music, watch the coast, and prepare for time in the water.

The route is not presented as a rigid sightseeing itinerary. That is good news for a private charter. Your group can spend more time cruising, stop for swimming, or shape the outing around lunch, sunset, or a birthday schedule. A four-hour cruise from 3 to 7 p.m. has worked well for a celebration, and that timing also gives you the chance to catch changing light toward evening.

The coastline around Cabo is the main visual reward. You can expect broad ocean views and photo opportunities from the yacht, with the possibility of seeing marine life. One outing included whale sightings while traveling between San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas, but whales are seasonal and never guaranteed. Treat that as a lucky bonus, not a promised feature.

The boat itself receives strong praise for its condition and cleanliness. That is important on a yacht rental at this price. A polished interior and well-kept decks help the experience feel special, while a clean boat matters even more when you are eating, swimming, and spending a long stretch in wet clothing.

Music is part of the atmosphere, and the group can choose what to play. That makes the Number Juan better suited to a private celebration than a quiet sightseeing cruise. If your group wants peace and conversation, say so early. If you want a birthday soundtrack and sunset photos, the setup supports that too.

Swimming and water toys in the Sea of Cortez

The boat carries kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear, a Sea Bob, and swim mats. These are not minor extras. They give your group a reason to stop cruising and spend real time in the water.

Paddleboards and kayaks suit people who want gentle activity without committing to a hard workout. Swim mats are useful for anyone who would rather float than paddle, including children and older family members. Snorkel gear gives you the option to look below the surface, although the supplied information does not promise a particular reef, fish sighting, or water clarity on a given day.

The Sea Bob is the most distinctive piece of equipment. It can add speed and playfulness for confident swimmers, while the range of quieter options means the whole group does not need the same level of energy.

You can also jump or swim from the yacht where conditions and crew instructions allow. The staff supervises the water activities, which adds comfort for families and mixed-age groups. One celebration included people from age six to 85, showing that the outing can work for a broad age range when everyone follows the safety briefing.

Still, you should be honest about your group’s needs. The boat has water toys, but that does not mean every person has to use them. Some people will prefer the shade, food, music, and views. If anyone in your group is not a confident swimmer, ask the crew about the planned swimming area and available safety arrangements before getting in.

Chef Saul’s menu and the open bar

Food is one of the Number Juan’s strongest selling points. A personal chef prepares the meal onboard using local seafood and fresh ingredients, and the menu is planned with you after booking. That is much better than accepting a fixed platter chosen for an anonymous crowd.

Past meals have included fajitas, sushi, guacamole, and other dishes, with enough food to leave leftovers for a large group. The exact menu is not fixed in the information provided, so you should request the current choices and decide what fits your group before the charter.

This setup is especially useful for families and mixed groups. Food allergies and dietary restrictions can be accommodated, but you need to share them in advance. Do not wait until boarding to mention a serious allergy. Give the company clear details while building the menu, including ingredients that must be avoided and whether cross-contact is a concern.

Chef Saul is specifically praised for both flavor and quantity. A meal that feeds everyone well matters on a boat because there are few easy alternatives once you leave the marina. You are not stopping at a restaurant halfway through the trip. The chef and crew need to get the timing right so the meal fits naturally around cruising and swimming.

The open bar includes the Number Juan tequila, described as an award-winning house namesake, along with cocktails. Bartenders Lupita and Letty keep drinks moving, while the personal bartender arrangement means you can ask for drinks rather than line up at a shared bar.

That convenience is part of the value, but it also calls for sensible planning. The boat experience includes alcohol, water activities, and sun. Pace yourself, drink water, and avoid treating the open bar as a challenge. You want to remember the sunset and still feel steady on the paddleboard.

The crew makes the yacht feel personal

The Number Juan is not a self-service rental. The designated crew is central to the experience, and the strongest praise focuses on how attentive and friendly the staff are without becoming overbearing.

Alex helps coordinate the outing and speaks perfect English, making communication easier for English-speaking groups. Diego helps with activities, photos, and general comfort. He has even become known for cleaning sunglasses, a small service that sounds funny until salt spray and sunscreen make your lenses hard to use.

Lupita and Letty handle drinks, while chef Saul prepares the food. Captain Gabby is praised for guiding the yacht smoothly through the Sea of Cortez. These details matter because a 100-foot yacht is only as relaxing as the people running it. You want the crew focused on navigation, food timing, safety, and service while you enjoy the day.

The crew also helps with celebrations. Customized balloons and a customized cake have been arranged for a joint 60th birthday. A post-wedding outing has also included music, drinks, and time with close family and friends. If you are marking a birthday, wedding event, anniversary, or family milestone, ask what decorations and cake options are available rather than assuming they are included.

Safety is another area where the staff earns trust. The crew explains the rules, watches swimmers, and remains available during water activities. That does not remove your responsibility to supervise children or follow instructions, but it makes the water portion feel more organized.

Choosing the right length for your group

The listed duration ranges from about three hours to one day. That flexibility is useful, but it also means you need to choose carefully.

A three-hour charter works for a compact taste of the yacht. You can cruise, enjoy food and drinks, and fit in some water time without giving up most of your day. It is a sensible option if your group has dinner reservations or only wants one highlight activity.

Four hours gives you a better rhythm. A sample afternoon from 3 to 7 p.m. allows time to settle in, eat, swim, enjoy the coast, and watch the light change. For many celebrations, that may be the best balance between cost and experience.

A full-day rental makes more sense if your group wants a relaxed schedule and plenty of time for the water toys. It also gives the chef and crew more room to spread out meals and activities. The tradeoff is simple: the longer the charter, the more you need to enjoy being on a boat. Some people are thrilled to spend all day at sea. Others are ready for solid ground after a few hours.

Ask how the price changes with duration. The supplied rate is $4,925 per group, but the exact rental period connected to that price should be confirmed before booking.

Is $4,925 a good value?

At first glance, $4,925 is a steep price. Divide it among 10 people and the cost is about $492.50 per person before considering any extra arrangements. For two or four people, it becomes a luxury purchase rather than a practical excursion.

The value improves when you use the full package. You are paying for a 100-foot yacht, a dedicated crew, chef service, bartender service, open bar, water equipment, and pickup from your resort or villa. A large group celebrating together may find that private service feels more worthwhile than booking several separate activities.

The number also makes more sense for a birthday, post-wedding gathering, or family milestone where privacy and convenience matter. You can choose the music, shape the menu, decide how much time to spend swimming, and avoid sharing the boat with strangers.

I would not choose it simply because you want a short boat ride. Cabo has less expensive ways to get on the water. The Number Juan is for people who want the boat itself to be the event.

The passenger limit needs careful attention. The listed price covers up to 10 people, while past celebrations have included 12 and even 25 people. That does not mean larger groups are automatically accepted at the same rate. Get written confirmation of capacity and pricing if your party exceeds 10.

Who will enjoy the Number Juan most?

I would recommend it most strongly to:

• Families who want a private day with food, swimming, and flexible pacing
• Groups celebrating birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, or reunions
• People who value attentive service and a chef-prepared meal
• English-speaking groups who want easy communication with staff
• Mixed-age groups that need both active water toys and comfortable spaces onboard
• Larger groups able to share the cost

It may not suit you if your main goal is the lowest-cost way to see Cabo from the water. It may also be excessive if you dislike organized service, alcohol-focused settings, or spending several hours on a yacht.

The boat allows service animals, is near public transportation, and most people can participate. Pickup is offered, but you should still provide accurate resort or villa details. Anyone with mobility, medical, or swimming concerns should ask the operator for specific guidance before booking, since the supplied information does not describe boarding assistance or detailed accessibility features.

Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Within 24 hours, changes and cancellations are not accepted for a refund. The trip depends on good weather, and if poor weather cancels it, you are offered another date or a full refund.

What to confirm before you pay

A few questions will prevent misunderstandings:

• What is the exact price for your chosen duration?
• Does your group fit within the rate for up to 10 people?
• What menu choices are available for your date?
• Can the chef handle your allergy or dietary restriction?
• What pickup time applies to your resort or villa?
• Which water toys will be available on your charter?
• What route is planned for your chosen time?
• Are decorations, cake, or special event details included or priced separately?

These questions are not needless fussing. They help turn a high-priced booking into the day you actually want.

Should you book the Number Juan?

Book it if your group wants a private celebration with excellent food, flowing cocktails, attentive crew service, and several ways to enjoy the water. The combination of chef Saul’s cooking, the staff’s careful attention, the clean yacht, and the included equipment makes this more than a simple cruise.

I would choose a four-hour charter for most groups. It gives you enough time to settle in, eat, swim, use the paddleboards or kayaks, and enjoy Cabo’s changing views without committing to a full day. Choose longer only if your group truly wants an all-day boat experience.

The Number Juan is not a bargain. It is a polished, private occasion, and the value depends on filling the boat with people who will enjoy the same relaxed mix of food, drinks, music, and water time. If that sounds like your Cabo day, the price can make sense. If not, spend less and choose a simpler cruise.
