Black Bayliner 35 Yacht in Cabo | Papillon Yachts

Meet Papillon 0, a fully redesigned black Yacht Bayliner 35 in Cabo with A/C, Starlink Wi-Fi, quieter outboards and private All-Inclusive or Barefoot charters.

Black Bayliner 35 Yacht in Cabo with Papillon Yachts Rental


There is something unmistakable about a black yacht on the water.

Against the deep blue of the Sea of Cortez and the dramatic rock formations of Cabo San Lucas, a glossy black hull creates a look that feels modern, elegant and different from almost anything else in the marina. That is exactly what we wanted for the new Papillon 0.

Our 35-foot Bayliner has been part of the Papillon Yachts fleet for some time, but today it is a completely different yacht. We recently completed an extensive transformation of the vessel, redesigning everything from the exterior finish and upholstery to the cabin, flooring, tables, lighting and onboard comfort.

The result is a sleek black Bayliner 35 in Cabo San Lucas designed for couples, families and small groups who want the privacy and comfort of a yacht without needing an oversized vessel.

And while its new glossy black exterior is what you notice first, some of the biggest improvements are the ones you experience once you step aboard.



More Than a New Color: A Complete Transformation


This was not simply a repaint.

Papillon 0 underwent a complete aesthetic and comfort-focused renovation intended to make the yacht feel fresh, contemporary and refined from bow to cabin.

The exterior now features a glossy black finish that gives the Bayliner a completely new personality on the water. Exterior seating and upholstery were renewed, while the interior cabin was redesigned with new finishes, upholstery, flooring, tables and lighting.

Every area was approached with the same objective: create a more comfortable and polished private yacht experience while preserving the versatility that makes a 35-foot yacht so enjoyable around Cabo.

Step onboard today and Papillon 0 feels like a new vessel.

The open exterior areas are ideal for enjoying the Cabo sunshine, relaxing with friends or taking in the coastline, while the interior cabin gives guests a comfortable place to cool down and relax away from the sun.

For travelers searching for a small yacht rental in Cabo San Lucas, that balance between outdoor space and interior comfort makes an important difference.

Air Conditioning: A Major Upgrade for Comfort in Cabo


Cabo is best enjoyed outside, but having the option to step into an air-conditioned cabin changes the experience entirely.

Papillon 0 now features air conditioning inside the yacht, providing a cool and comfortable interior retreat during warm Cabo afternoons.

It is particularly useful for families, couples, guests traveling with children, or anyone who simply wants to alternate between enjoying the sunshine outside and relaxing comfortably inside.

On a three-hour private charter, these small details matter.

You can spend time cruising along the coastline, enjoy the bow while approaching El Arco, swim or snorkel in a calm bay, and then come back inside to cool down before continuing your experience.

That flexibility makes Papillon #0 especially appealing among small boat rentals in Cabo for guests who still want many of the comforts normally associated with larger yachts.

Starlink Wi-Fi While You Cruise Cabo

Another important addition is Starlink Wi-Fi onboard.

Being on a private yacht should give you the freedom to disconnect completely if that is what you want. But sometimes staying connected matters too.

Whether you want to share photos from El Arco, stay connected with family, post moments from your Cabo vacation, stream music or simply have internet access available when needed, Starlink adds another level of convenience onboard Papillon 0.

It is a particularly useful feature for travelers who appreciate connectivity without sacrificing their time on the water.

Of course, once you are cruising past Land’s End with Cabo behind you and the Sea of Cortez ahead, putting the phone away is still highly recommended.

New Outboard Engines for a Quieter, Smoother Ride

The transformation of Papillon 0 goes beyond appearance.

The yacht is now powered by new outboard engines designed to provide a quieter and smoother navigation experience, with reduced vibration compared with the previous setup.

That translates directly into greater comfort onboard.

Conversation feels easier, the atmosphere is more relaxed and guests can enjoy the sound of the ocean without the engine dominating the experience.

For us, this is an important part of what a private yacht charter should feel like.

Cabo is not something you should rush through. The experience is in the details: approaching El Arco from the water, feeling the breeze along the coastline, finding a calm place to swim, enjoying a drink onboard and having the freedom to experience the day at your own pace.

A smoother and quieter yacht makes all of that better.

A Small Black Yacht Designed for Private Cabo Experiences


Not every group needs a 60-, 80- or 100-foot yacht.

For smaller groups, a 35-foot yacht can actually create a more intimate and flexible experience.

Papillon 0 accommodates up to eight guests, making it particularly well suited for couples, families and groups of friends who prefer having the yacht entirely to themselves.

It gives you the privacy of a private charter while remaining easy to move around, comfortable for socializing and perfectly suited to exploring Cabo San Lucas.

From the marina, your experience can take you toward some of Cabo’s most recognizable locations, including Land’s End, Lover’s Beach, Pelican Rock and the iconic Arch of Cabo San Lucas.

From there, the itinerary remains flexible.

Depending on your group and the conditions that day, you may prefer to spend more time cruising, swimming, snorkeling, relaxing onboard or simply enjoying Cabo from the water.

That freedom is one of the greatest advantages of choosing a private yacht rather than a shared boat tour.

The New Black Yacht Look

There is also no avoiding the visual appeal.

The glossy black exterior gives Papillon 0 a distinctive presence in Cabo San Lucas.

Photographed against El Arco, the marina or the blue water of the Sea of Cortez, the contrast is striking. It creates a completely different aesthetic from the traditional white yacht profile and gives this 35-foot Bayliner a much stronger personality.

For birthdays, couples, girls’ trips, small celebrations, proposals, family outings or simply a private day at sea, the yacht photographs beautifully from almost every angle.

But for Papillon, appearance is only part of the experience.

The objective of the redesign was not just to create a beautiful black yacht in Cabo. It was to combine that look with better seating, a refreshed cabin, air conditioning, Starlink Wi-Fi, quieter propulsion and the attentive hospitality that defines every Papillon charter.

Two Ways to Experience Papillon 0

Guests can enjoy the redesigned Bayliner 35 through either our All-Inclusive Experience or our Barefoot Experience.

All-Inclusive Experience

Our All-Inclusive Experience is designed for guests who want everything prepared for them from the moment they step aboard.

A three-hour private charter aboard Papillon 0 is $1,100 USD for one to six guests.

For seven guests, the total charter price is $1,180 USD.

For eight guests, the total charter price is $1,260 USD.

The experience includes your private yacht, professional crew, unlimited open bar, freshly prepared food, snacks, bottled water, snorkeling equipment, paddle board, floating mat, Bluetooth sound system and onboard amenities.

It is an easy way to enjoy Cabo without having to organize food, drinks or the details yourself.

Barefoot Experience

For guests who prefer greater flexibility, Papillon 0 is also available through our Barefoot Experience.

The Barefoot Experience keeps the focus on the yacht, the ocean and the crew while allowing guests more freedom to customize what they bring onboard.

A three-hour private Barefoot charter is $800 USD for one to six guests.

For seven guests, the total charter price is $840 USD.

For eight guests, the total charter price is $880 USD.

The Barefoot Experience includes the private yacht, captain and professional crew, bottled water and ice, snorkeling equipment, paddle board, floating mat, Bluetooth sound system and applicable onboard amenities.

Open bar, food, catering, cocktails, juices and soft drinks are not included with the Barefoot Experience.

Guests who prefer to bring their own food and beverages can enjoy a relaxed, personalized way to experience Cabo while receiving the same Papillon attention and hospitality onboard.

Explore Cabo San Lucas From the Water

No visit to Cabo feels quite the same after seeing it from the ocean.

Leaving the marina and approaching Land’s End reveals a completely different perspective of the coastline. Lover’s Beach, Pelican Rock, the sea lion colony and El Arco become part of the journey rather than simply landmarks viewed from shore.

After visiting the Arch, your captain can continue along the coastline as your group relaxes onboard or, depending on conditions and your preferences, head toward an area suitable for swimming and snorkeling.

There is no rigid schedule.

You have the freedom to chart your own course and enjoy the time at your group’s pace.

That is what private Cabo San Lucas yacht rentals should be about.

Papillon 0: A New Chapter for One of Our Favorite Small Yachts

We have known this Bayliner for years.

That is part of what makes its transformation special.

Instead of simply adding another boat to the fleet, we took a yacht we already knew well and rebuilt its personality.

The new glossy black exterior gives it its unmistakable look. The redesigned upholstery, flooring, tables, interior and lighting make the yacht feel completely refreshed. Air conditioning makes the cabin more comfortable. Starlink keeps guests connected when they want to be. New outboard engines create a quieter ride with reduced vibration.

The result is still Papillon 0, just in an entirely new form.

For guests looking for a small black yacht in Cabo San Lucas, a private Bayliner charter, or simply one of the most distinctive smaller yachts in the Papillon fleet, we would be very happy to welcome you aboard.
