Number Juan 100ft Yacht Azimut Rental
The Number Juan puts a full-service 100-foot yacht at your disposal in Cabo San Lucas. You get a private chef, personal bartender, dedicated crew, open bar, and a generous collection of water toys, all beginning with pickup from your resort or villa.
I like the easy, polished service, especially the combination of chef Saul’s food, cocktails from Lupita and Letty, and the steady attention of crew members such as Alex and Diego. I also like that the menu can be adjusted for allergies and dietary restrictions rather than treating food as an afterthought.
The main consideration is price: $4,925 per group of up to 10 is a serious splurge. Also, the advertised group limit and some larger-party examples do not line up perfectly, so ask Cabo Yacht Charters to confirm capacity and pricing before you pay.
Key points about the Number Juan

- A 100-foot private yacht: You have four bedrooms, roomy areas for sitting, and a boat designed for a full-day charter as well as shorter outings.
- A chef-led meal at sea: Chef Saul prepares food using local seafood and fresh ingredients, with custom planning available before departure.
- A staffed open bar: Your personal bartender serves cocktails, including drinks made with Number Juan tequila.
- Water time is built in: Kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear, a SeaBob, and swim mats give you more to do than simply sit on deck.
- Resort pickup is offered: Transportation can collect you from your resort or villa and return you to the marina meeting point after the cruise.
- Three hours is the shortest listed option: Longer charters give you more time for swimming, food, music, and coastal scenery without rushing each part.
Starting at the Cabo San Lucas marina

Your day begins at the marina in Cabo San Lucas, unless you arrange pickup from your resort or villa. That transfer option matters because it removes one of the more annoying parts of a special-occasion outing: getting a large group to the harbor at the same time.
The precise pickup time and transportation details should be confirmed after booking. Confirmation is sent within 48 hours, subject to availability, so I would not leave this reservation until the last minute if you are building it around a birthday, wedding celebration, or family gathering.
Once you reach the yacht, the tone is set quickly. The crew welcomes you aboard, explains the plan, and begins service. Champagne has been used for arrival celebrations, and the crew is accustomed to making the first few minutes feel special without requiring you to organize every detail yourself.
The yacht returns to the same meeting point at the end. That is useful for planning, though you should remember that the listed $4,925 price is for the chartered group, not a per-person fare. Split among 10 people, the base cost works out to about $492.50 per person. A smaller group pays more per person, so the value improves when you can fill the available places.

What a three-hour cruise gives you
A three-hour charter is the shortest listed format. It can work well if you mainly want a yacht setting, coastal views, a meal, drinks, and a quick swim, but the schedule will need some discipline.
You may begin with a welcome drink and a short orientation, then settle into the yacht while the crew serves food and cocktails. A swimming stop can follow, with paddleboards, swim mats, snorkel gear, kayaks, or the SeaBob available depending on conditions and the plan for the day.
The strength of this short option is focus. You can celebrate a birthday or post-wedding gathering without giving up an entire day. The weakness is simple: three hours passes quickly once you add boarding, food service, swimming, and the return to the marina.
For a short charter, tell the company what matters most. If swimming is your priority, say so before departure. If the meal and sunset views matter more, the crew can plan around that. You will get more from the time when the captain and crew know your preferred rhythm in advance.
Why longer charters make sense

The experience can run from three hours to approximately a full day. I see the greatest value in the four-hour format or longer, especially if your group wants to eat, swim, use the equipment, and enjoy the yacht without watching the clock.
A four-hour afternoon cruise, from 3 to 7 p.m., has been used for birthday celebrations and offers a sensible balance. It allows time to get comfortable, enjoy a substantial meal, stop for water activities, and catch the changing light toward evening.
Longer bookings also give the captain more flexibility with the route and pace. One group traveled between San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas and saw whales along the way. Sightings are never guaranteed, and the route will depend on weather and the captain’s judgment, but a longer window naturally gives you more time on the water.
A full-day rental suits people who want the yacht itself to be the main event. You can linger over meals, take repeated swims, rotate between water toys, and spend less of the day moving from one scheduled activity to another. It is also the better choice for a large family group with different ages and energy levels.
A chef’s meal instead of standard boat snacks

Food is one of the strongest reasons to choose this charter over a basic harbor cruise. The chef prepares a menu around local seafood and fresh ingredients, and the company works with you before the outing to choose from the available options.
The food served on past charters has included fajitas, sushi, guacamole, and other dishes substantial enough to feed a group of 12, with leftovers. That gives you a useful sense of the style: this is intended to be a real meal, not a bowl of chips placed on a table between swims.
You should discuss the menu early, particularly if someone has an allergy or dietary restriction. The company specifically offers adjustments for those needs. Still, do not assume a special menu is automatically arranged. Put every restriction in writing during the planning process and confirm it before boarding.
Chef Saul receives repeated praise for both the food and the care taken with larger groups. If your party includes children, older adults, or people who do not want to swim, a proper meal gives the day structure and makes the yacht enjoyable even when someone stays dry.
The timing of food service can also affect the mood. If you are planning a sunset outing, ask when dinner will be served. A late meal may pair nicely with the evening light, while an earlier meal leaves more time for swimming afterward.

Cocktails, Number Juan tequila, and personal service

The open bar is built around Number Juan tequila, the yacht’s namesake brand. You can expect cocktails to be prepared throughout the charter by a personal bartender rather than relying on a self-serve setup.
Lupita and Letty handle drink service, and the crew is described as quick and attentive. That can make a real difference on a private yacht. You do not need to interrupt the meal or leave the group to find a bar, and the staff can keep water and other drinks moving along with cocktails.
The all-inclusive setup is convenient, but it is still worth pacing yourself. Cabo sun, boat movement, and alcohol can catch up with you faster than expected. Eat regularly, drink water, and tell the bartender what you want early in the day.
Music is also part of the atmosphere. You can choose your music, which gives your group more control than a shared cruise with a fixed playlist. Keep in mind that personal preferences can vary widely in a mixed-age group, so agreeing on a general mood beforehand may prevent a small dispute on an otherwise excellent afternoon.
Swimming and water toys on the Sea of Cortez

The Number Juan carries kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear, a SeaBob, and swim mats. These are not just decorative extras. They let your group spread out and choose different levels of activity.
You can jump into the water, paddle away from the yacht, snorkel, or simply lie on a mat and look back at the boat. The SeaBob adds a more active option for confident swimmers, while a paddleboard or kayak offers a slower pace.
Crew members supervise swimming and water activities. That is especially valuable for families, mixed-age groups, and anyone who feels uncertain about leaving the yacht. Still, you remain responsible for following the crew’s safety instructions. Conditions can change, and the captain decides when and where water activities are appropriate.
The equipment also affects how you should pack. Bring a swimsuit, sun protection, and a change of clothes. The supplied information does not specify towel arrangements, so ask about towels and any other personal equipment before you go.
The best use of the water toys depends on your group. A party of active adults might spend much of the charter in the water. A group with grandparents and young children may use the toys in turns while others remain on deck with the chef and bartender.
The crew makes the difference

A 100-foot yacht is impressive, but the crew determines whether the day feels relaxed or awkward. The Number Juan uses designated staff, including a captain, chef, bartender, and other service crew.
Captain Gabby is specifically praised for handling the yacht smoothly. Alex takes a lead role in explaining the outing and keeping things organized. Diego helps guests with the water activities and has become known for cleaning sunglasses, a small service touch that makes sense once salt spray and sunscreen start covering everything.
Alex also speaks perfect English, according to the supplied experience details. The listing is offered in English, so English-speaking visitors should have a straightforward time discussing the plan, food, and safety instructions.
The crew’s approach seems especially useful for celebrations. Customized balloons and a customized cake have been arranged for birthday groups, and the staff has worked with parties ranging from young children to older adults. Those extras should be requested in advance and confirmed as part of your arrangements, rather than treated as standard inclusions.
The attentive service is a strength, but it may feel more formal than a simple bareboat rental. If you want complete privacy with no crew interaction, this is not the right format. If you want someone else handling navigation, food, drinks, and safety, the staffing is a major part of the value.
Views, music, and the feel of the outing

The coast around Cabo provides the visual setting, with views from the water and especially attractive light near sunset. The yacht gives you several ways to enjoy it: sit with a drink, eat outside, listen to your chosen music, or get into the water and look back at the coastline.
You should think of this as a private floating celebration rather than a sightseeing tour with a fixed list of landmarks. The exact route is not specified, and the captain’s decisions depend on weather and sea conditions.
Whale sightings have occurred during longer outings between San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas. That is a pleasant possibility in the right season, but it should not be promised as part of your booking.
The four bedrooms may matter less on a short cruise, but they add flexibility on a longer charter. They give the yacht a proper overnight-style layout and provide private space if someone needs a quiet break from the group. The supplied information does not state that overnight stays are included, so ask before planning around the bedrooms.
Price, group size, and who gets the best value
At $4,925 per group of up to 10, the Number Juan is aimed at people celebrating something or pooling costs with a full group. At the maximum advertised group size, the cost is roughly $492.50 per person before any separate arrangements or optional additions.
That price includes more than transportation on a boat. You are paying for a large yacht, captain, dedicated service staff, chef-prepared food, personal bartending, open bar service, and water equipment. For a birthday, wedding-related event, or family reunion, the convenience may justify the total.
The value is weaker for a very small party unless the yacht itself is the priority. You could still prefer it for the privacy and service, but the per-person cost rises quickly.
Pay close attention to group capacity. The booking information says up to 10 people, yet larger parties have used the yacht. Since those numbers conflict, ask Cabo Yacht Charters to confirm the permitted number for your date, the exact cost for more than 10, and whether any additional arrangements are needed.
The company is often booked about 16 days ahead. That is not a hard deadline, but it is a useful planning signal. I would reserve earlier for a weekend, a holiday period, or a special date where changing plans would be difficult.
Weather, cancellation, and practical planning
The experience requires good weather. If poor weather cancels the charter, you are offered another date or a full refund.
You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the start time. Inside that 24-hour window, the amount paid is not refunded and changes are not accepted. The cutoff follows local time in Cabo, so check the exact start time rather than relying on your home time zone.
Service animals are allowed, and the activity is near public transportation. Most people can participate, but the yacht includes swimming and water activities, so anyone with mobility or medical concerns should ask the company for specific guidance before booking.
Pickup from your resort or villa is offered. Confirm the pickup address, time, and return plan, especially if your group is spread across several properties.
Should you book the Number Juan?
I would book the Number Juan if you have a group of about 8 to 10 people, a clear reason to celebrate, and a budget that allows a private yacht day. The chef, open bar, water toys, and attentive crew create a well-organized experience without forcing you to manage each detail yourself.
I would choose at least four hours if you want to swim and eat at a relaxed pace. Choose three hours only if you are happy with a compact outing and can agree on your priorities before boarding.
Before paying, confirm the group limit, menu, dietary needs, pickup details, charter length, and any celebration extras. If those details fit your plans, the Number Juan offers a polished Cabo outing with enough substance to feel like a full occasion, not simply a boat ride.
