Catch Cabo from the water. The Olivia Grace is a 60-foot British Princess yacht offering a private Cabo San Lucas charter with a professional crew, open bar, custom food, and room for up to 10 people. I especially like the personal bartender and the chance to shape your menu before departure. I also like that the boat carries paddleboards and other water toys, so your time is not limited to sitting on deck.

The main drawback is the price: $2,499 per group is a serious splurge, especially for a three-hour outing. One guest also reported that the boat did not match the pictures and found the food disappointing, though that person praised the staff. I would confirm the exact yacht and menu before paying.

Key points about the Olivia Grace yacht charter

Olivia Grace 60 ft British Princess Yacht Rental - Key points about the Olivia Grace yacht charter

  • A private 60-foot British Princess yacht: Your group has the boat rather than sharing space with strangers.
  • Up to 10 people for $2,499: At full capacity, the cost works out to about $250 per person before any additional considerations.
  • Five staterooms and a dedicated crew: The yacht is set up for comfort on longer charters, not only quick sightseeing.
  • Custom food with local seafood: You work with the operator to choose menu options, including choices for allergies and dietary restrictions.
  • Open bar with a personal bartender: Drinks are part of the all-inclusive setup, adding a relaxed party feel.
  • Paddleboards and water toys: You can stop for swimming, snorkeling, and play in the water, weather permitting.

Starting at Cabo San Lucas Marina

Olivia Grace 60 ft British Princess Yacht Rental - Starting at Cabo San Lucas Marina

The charter begins at the marina in Centro, Cabo San Lucas, at 23453 Cabo San Lucas, BCS, Mexico. Pickup is offered, though the supplied details do not specify the pickup area or whether transportation from your hotel costs extra, so ask before booking.

The meeting point matters in Cabo. You are not being collected from a remote beach or a resort pier. You start at the central marina, where the yacht can head directly out onto the water. The activity also ends back at the same meeting point, which makes planning the rest of your day simpler.

Confirmation arrives within 48 hours of booking, subject to availability. Since this yacht is commonly reserved well ahead of time, I would not leave a birthday, anniversary, or large family outing until the last minute. The average advance booking time is 46 days, which is a useful guide for busy vacation dates.

A few more yacht cruises around Cabo San Lucas worth a look

What the first hour feels like onboard

Olivia Grace 60 ft British Princess Yacht Rental - What the first hour feels like onboard

The welcome sets the tone. The crew has served arrival drinks and fruit trays, and the service is built around making the group feel looked after from the start. A personal bartender means you can order drinks without interrupting your time on deck.

The crew is one of the strongest parts of this charter. Guests have praised the captain and staff for being professional, friendly, attentive, and fun. That combination is important on a private yacht. You want people who know how to run the boat safely and efficiently, but you also want a relaxed atmosphere rather than a stiff formal service.

You might spend the opening part of the trip settling into the seating areas, enjoying appetizers, and choosing music on the sound system. The available feedback describes dancing onboard, so this is not strictly a quiet sightseeing cruise. If your group wants a party atmosphere, the yacht can support that. If you prefer a calm afternoon, you can use the space more quietly.

The boat has five staterooms, which gives you more room than a basic day boat. The supplied details do not confirm how each room is arranged or whether overnight stays are included, so do not assume the staterooms turn a short charter into a full hotel-style cruise. For a daytime trip, they provide useful indoor space and a place to get out of the sun.

Cabo’s arch and the open-water views

Olivia Grace 60 ft British Princess Yacht Rental - Cabo’s arch and the open-water views

One of the natural highlights is Cabo’s famous arch area. The yacht gives you a different angle on Cabo than you get from land. Instead of looking toward the water from a beach or resort, you see the coastline from offshore, with the rock formations and open sea around you.

The exact route can depend on the charter length, weather, and captain’s judgment. A three-hour outing gives you less time for long stops than a full-day booking, so ask how much time is normally spent near the arch and how much is reserved for swimming or snorkeling.

I like the flexibility of a private charter here. You are not tied to a large group’s pace. Your party can focus on photographs, food, music, or water time. The tradeoff is that a private boat does not guarantee a fixed sightseeing route unless the operator confirms one in advance. If seeing the arch is your top priority, mention it when you book.

Swimming, snorkeling, paddleboards, and the lily pad

The water portion gives this trip its greatest value for active groups. The yacht carries paddleboards and other water toys, and one outing included use of a lily pad. You may be able to swim, snorkel, paddle, and relax on the floating equipment during a suitable stop.

This part of the day works especially well for mixed groups. Some people can jump in and play while others remain on deck with a drink. Children and adults can enjoy the water toys, though the supplied information does not specify age limits, life jacket arrangements, or the exact snorkeling equipment provided. Ask about those details if your group includes young children or anyone who is not a confident swimmer.

Water conditions and weather affect the plan. A smooth ride was praised, but no boat can promise identical conditions every day. The charter requires good weather, and a poor-weather cancellation leads to a different date or a full refund. That policy protects you from losing money when conditions make the outing unsuitable, but it also means your plans may need a backup.

Food that is planned before departure

Olivia Grace 60 ft British Princess Yacht Rental - Food that is planned before departure

Food is more than a snack on this yacht. The operator offers a menu built around local seafood and other ingredients, and you work with the team to create a meal that fits your group. Dietary restrictions and food allergies can be accommodated through the available menu options.

Specific meals have included a chef-prepared presentation, club sandwiches, fruit, assorted snacks, welcome appetizers, and a fruit tray. The descriptions show that the menu can range from casual lunch fare to more polished dishes. I would ask for the current menu rather than expect one fixed meal every time.

The ability to discuss food before the charter is valuable for a private group. You can tell the team about allergies, preferences, and the kind of occasion you are planning. For a birthday, the crew has arranged a cake and balloons with the birthday person’s name. That is a thoughtful touch, but it is not clear if decorations or cakes are included for every booking, so request them in advance.

Food quality appears to be a point of variation. Several outings received strong praise for the chef and presentation, while one person found the food disappointing. That does not necessarily mean the menu is poor, but it does mean you should be specific about what you want and confirm the selections before the day.

The open bar and onboard atmosphere

The open bar makes the charter feel like a private celebration rather than a simple boat ride. A personal bartender can prepare and serve drinks while the crew handles the rest of the day. Welcome drinks and boat drinks have been part of the experience described by past customers.

There is also a sound system, and one birthday group danced onboard. That tells you something useful about the atmosphere: this yacht is a good match for birthdays, bachelor or bachelorette outings, reunions, and celebrations where music and drinks matter.

Still, an open bar is not the only reason to book. If your group does not drink, the value comes more from the private space, meal, staff, and water equipment. Ask what nonalcoholic drinks are included and how the bar service is handled if that matters to you. The supplied information confirms an open bar, but it does not provide a drink list.

How the $2,499 price works for your group

Olivia Grace 60 ft British Princess Yacht Rental - How the $2,499 price works for your group

The listed price is $2,499 per group of up to 10 people. At 10 people, that is roughly $250 per person. At six people, it is about $417 per person, and at four people, about $625 per person. Those figures help explain why group size matters so much.

For a full group, the price can make sense when you compare it with paying separately for a boat, food, drinks, and water activities. You also receive dedicated staff and a private setting. The cost is harder to justify for a small group unless the occasion is important or you place a high value on privacy and service.

The duration ranges from about three hours to one day, so confirm the exact length attached to your chosen booking. A three-hour charter is enough for a taste of the coast, drinks, food, and some water time. A longer booking gives you more room to slow down and use the boat as a full-day base.

I would treat the charter as a premium group purchase, not a bargain excursion. The best value comes when all 10 places are filled and your group actually uses the food, bar, crew, and water toys. If you mainly want a quick look at the arch, a shorter and less expensive boat trip may be more sensible.

Who will enjoy the Olivia Grace most

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

This charter suits you best if you want privacy and control over the day. A group celebrating a birthday can use the cake, balloons, music, and open bar. Families may appreciate the space and water toys, while groups of friends can turn the yacht into a floating lunch and swim party.

It also fits people who care about service. The crew has received especially strong praise for attention to detail, friendliness, and professionalism. That personal care can make a major difference when you are marking an occasion or simply want someone else to handle the practical work.

The yacht is less suited to budget-conscious couples or solo visitors. The price is based on the whole group, so two people would carry a large share of the cost. It may also disappoint anyone expecting a guaranteed luxury menu or a specific boat appearance without confirming those details first.

Service animals are allowed, and most people can participate. The meeting point is near public transportation. The provided information does not explain wheelchair access, cabin access, or specific swimming requirements, so ask the operator if mobility needs are important for your group.

Booking details worth confirming

Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations within 24 hours are not refunded, and changes inside that window are not accepted. The cutoff follows local Cabo time.

Bad weather is handled differently. If the operator cancels because conditions are poor, you can choose another date or receive a full refund. I would keep your schedule flexible enough to move the charter if weather becomes an issue.

Before you pay, confirm four practical points:

  • The exact yacht shown for your booking
  • The charter length and route
  • The current food menu and allergy arrangements
  • Any birthday decorations, pickup costs, or special requests

The first point deserves extra attention because one customer reported that the boat did not match the pictures. The operator asked for the booking date and name so the concern could be investigated. That single complaint does not establish a pattern, but a quick confirmation removes an avoidable surprise.

Should you book the Olivia Grace?

Book it if you have a group of up to 10, want a private celebration, and will make real use of the crew, food, bar, and water toys. The strongest reasons are the attentive staff, custom menu planning, open bar, and freedom to shape the day around Cabo’s arch and the water.

Think twice if you have only two or three people, need a low-cost sightseeing trip, or expect a fixed luxury menu without discussing it first. Confirm the yacht, inclusions, and route before booking. For the right-size group, this can be a polished and memorable way to spend a Cabo afternoon. For a small group, the numbers may not work.
