Welcome aboard. This guide was prepared by Papillon Yachts for our guests who want clarity before stepping on deck, oficial 2025 prices, what’s included, and examples of how different yachts fit different groups. Everything you need to plan with confidence and look forward to your time in Cabo.
How Cabo yacht pricing works (so nothing catches you by surprise)
Standard base price by yacht. Each boat has a standard base rate that covers a set duration and an included number of guests (varies by yacht). You can add extra guests and add extra hours to tailor the experience to your group and timing.
3-hour all-inclusive (most popular). Most yachts are priced for 3 hours with a built-in guest count. After that included headcount, there’s a simple per-person fee for extra guests (see the yacht list below for the exact amounts).
Special 2-hour Sunset option. Prefer a shorter, golden-hour cruise? We also offer 2-hour sunset charters with their own per-yacht rate (see the dedicated 2-Hour Sunset section below). Same Papillon service and inclusions, optimized for photos and smooth coastal cruising.
Add extra time. Want more swim or snorkel time? You can extend your charter; the extra-hour rate depends on the yacht class. Tell us your ideal total and we’ll confirm the best fit.
All-inclusive by design. Every charter includes fresh food (chicken & beef as tacos, fajitas, or quesadillas with sides), open bar, water toys, Bluetooth music, and a bilingual crew focused on attentive service from dock to dock.
Private transportation (optional). Round-trip transfers aren’t bundled, but we provide private transportation at a preferred rate exclusive to our guests, often more economical than standard Cabo options.
Taxes, gratuity & flexible payment. See Important Information at the end for how VAT works, gratuity guidance, and our cash flexibility tip that many guests love.
