Review · CABO SAN LUCAS
Olivia Grace 60 ft British Princess Yacht Rental
The Olivia Grace puts you in charge of a private day on the water around Cabo San Lucas. You get a 60-foot British Princess yacht, a dedicated crew, open bar, and a chef-prepared menu planned around your group. The boat can carry up to 10 people, so it works especially well for a birthday, family outing, or small celebration.
I like the friendly, attentive service and the fact that food is not treated as an afterthought. I also like the useful water gear, including paddleboards and a floating lily pad, which gives you more to do than simply sit on deck and watch the coast go by. The main thing to consider is the price: $2,499 is a serious outlay for three hours, though the cost becomes more reasonable when divided among a full group.
Key Points
- Private yacht for up to 10: The $2,499 rate is charged per group, not per person.
- Food planned with your group: Local seafood and other quality ingredients are used, with options for allergies and dietary restrictions.
- Strong onboard service: A captain, designated staff, and personal bartender handle the practical details.
- Water time is part of the fun: Paddleboards, snorkeling, and a floating lily pad are available.
- Flexible length: Charters run from about three hours to a full day.
- Simple marina start and finish: You meet at Cabo San Lucas Marina and return there at the end.
A Private Yacht Day From Cabo Marina

You begin at the marina in central Cabo San Lucas, where the Olivia Grace is based. The activity ends back at the same meeting point, which keeps the day simple and avoids the need to arrange a separate return ride.
The boat is rented privately for your group rather than shared with strangers. That matters. You can settle into the pace that suits you, spend more time eating or swimming, and celebrate without trying to fit into someone else’s schedule.
The yacht has five staterooms, though the supplied details do not say that overnight accommodation is included. Think of these rooms as part of the boat’s size and comfort, not as an automatic hotel at sea.
The available duration starts at about three hours and can extend to a full day. A shorter charter gives you a taste of Cabo’s coastline and time for a meal or swim. A longer booking makes more sense if you want a relaxed meal, water activities, and plenty of time on deck without rushing from one thing to the next.

What the 60-Foot Yacht Means for Your Day

A 60-foot yacht gives your group room to spread out. You can enjoy the view from the deck, sit down for a meal, and move between social time and quiet time more easily than you could on a small open boat.
The Olivia Grace is described as a British Princess yacht, with five staterooms and dedicated staff. The important point for you is not the label alone. A boat of this size supports a more comfortable private outing, especially when 10 people are sharing the space.
Still, do not expect a floating resort. The experience is built around being on the ocean, so comfort depends partly on the weather and sea conditions. The yacht has good onboard amenities, but the main attraction remains the water, the Cabo coast, and time spent together.
The crew is one of the strongest reasons to consider this charter. Captain and staff handle the operation, drinks, food service, and water activities. You can make the most of the day instead of constantly organizing supplies and equipment yourself.
Welcome Drinks, Food, and a Personal Bartender

The day begins with a hospitality-focused setup. Previous outings have included welcome drinks and a fruit tray, followed by appetizers and drinks served onboard. That first spread helps the charter feel like a special occasion from the start rather than a basic boat rental.
A personal bartender is included, along with an open bar. That is a real convenience for a private group, since you do not need to bring and manage drinks yourself. It also makes the price easier to assess if your group would otherwise spend heavily on meals and beverages during a full day out.
The food is planned with the charter team before departure. The menu uses local seafood and other selected ingredients, and the staff can work around food allergies or dietary restrictions. I recommend discussing those needs early, rather than waiting until you arrive at the marina.
Food quality can be a little less predictable than the service. Some outings have included a chef-prepared meal with good presentation, while another meal was described as simple club sandwiches, fruit, and snacks. That difference may reflect the menu selected, the length of the charter, or the group’s expectations.
For that reason, I would ask exactly what menu is included with your booking. If you want a seafood lunch, a birthday cake, or a particular style of meal, make that clear while planning. A birthday surprise has included a cake and balloons with the honoree’s name, so the crew can handle celebrations when arrangements are made in advance.
Cruising Along the Cabo Coast
The central pleasure of this charter is time on the ocean around Cabo San Lucas. You get a smooth ride on a substantial yacht, with room to sit back, listen to music, eat, and watch the coastline.
The Cabo Arch is the natural visual highlight of a cruise in this area, and the boat can take you out for views around the famous rock formations. The exact route is not fixed in the supplied details, so do not assume a particular sequence of stops or a guaranteed amount of time at the Arch.
A good way to think about the outing is as a private moving base. You may cruise for a while, stop for food, then take time in the water. The crew can help keep the day flowing, but weather and sea conditions can affect the plan.
The boat has a sound system, and one birthday group used it to dance during the charter. That gives the Olivia Grace a different feel from a quiet sightseeing cruise. You can make it a relaxed family day, a music-filled celebration, or something in between.

Snorkeling, Paddleboards, and the Floating Lily Pad

The onboard water toys add real value to the charter. Paddleboards and a floating lily pad are available, and snorkeling is also part of the possible water time.
The lily pad is especially useful for a mixed-age group. Some people can swim and play in the water while others remain close by, and the floating platform gives everyone a shared place to relax. Paddleboards offer a more active option without turning the day into a formal sports excursion.
The available details do not promise a particular snorkeling site, marine life, or water conditions. Keep that in mind if snorkeling is your main reason for booking. The activity is a yacht charter with water access, not a dedicated snorkeling expedition.
You should also remember that the water portion depends on conditions. If the sea is rough or weather changes, the crew may need to adjust the plan. The charter requires good weather, and a cancellation caused by poor weather can be moved to another date or refunded in full.
How the Price Works for a Group of 10

The listed price is $2,499 per group of up to 10 people. At the maximum group size, that works out to about $250 per person before any added costs or gratuities. With six people, the equivalent cost is about $417 each. With only two people, the same private yacht becomes a much more expensive proposition.
That calculation is the key to judging the value. For a full group, you are paying for a private yacht, captain and staff, an open bar, a bartender, food planning, water toys, and a personalized schedule. A shorter three-hour trip can still be worthwhile for a celebration, but the per-hour cost is high.
A half-day or full-day charter spreads the fixed cost across more time. If you want a meal, swimming, paddleboarding, sightseeing, and a relaxed pace, I would lean toward using enough of the available duration to make the private setup feel worthwhile.
The value is also strongest when you care about privacy and service. If you simply want to see the Cabo Arch as cheaply as possible, a shared boat excursion will likely cost less. If you want control over the day and room for your own group, the Olivia Grace offers something different.
Service That Makes the Charter Easy

The crew receives the most consistent praise in the supplied feedback. Captain and staff are described as professional, fun, helpful, and attentive to small details. That matters because a yacht day has many moving parts: drinks, food, safety, water equipment, timing, and the boat itself.
A strong crew also helps take pressure off the person who organized the outing. You do not want to spend a birthday or family day checking supplies, clearing plates, and trying to figure out when to leave the marina. The designated staff and bartender are there to handle those jobs.
The service can also make a celebration feel personal. A cake and balloons prepared with a name on them show that the crew can do more than provide a standard charter, provided you arrange the details beforehand.
There is one important caution. A single piece of feedback raised a concern that the boat shown in pictures did not match the boat provided, and also found the food disappointing, while still praising the staff and host. That appears to be an isolated complaint among otherwise very strong feedback, but it is a sensible reason to confirm the exact yacht and menu before paying.
Who Will Get the Most From Olivia Grace

This charter suits you best if you want a private celebration, a comfortable family outing, or a polished day at sea with friends. It is also a strong fit if your group values food service, drinks, and personal attention as much as sightseeing.
Families can use the boat’s space and water toys in different ways. Some people can relax with fruit and drinks, while others use the paddleboard or lily pad. The option to plan around dietary restrictions is useful when a group has mixed needs.
Couples can book it too, but the fixed group price makes it less economical for only two people. The yacht makes more financial sense when you can bring a larger group and divide the cost.
This may not be the right choice if your main goal is a low-cost boat trip, a tightly scheduled snorkeling tour, or a guaranteed specific route. The strength here is the private, flexible setup, not a long list of fixed sightseeing stops.
Practical Details Before You Book

Confirmation arrives within 48 hours of booking, subject to availability. Since the charter is often reserved well in advance, planning ahead is sensible, especially for birthdays, holidays, or a preferred full-day date.
Pickup is offered, while the stated meeting point is Cabo San Lucas Marina in Centro. Confirm the pickup details when you book, since the marina is also the start and end point.
The activity is offered in English. Service animals are allowed, and the experience is near public transportation. Most people can participate, though the supplied information does not provide detailed guidance about mobility access or specific water equipment requirements.
Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the start time. Within 24 hours, changes are not accepted and the amount paid is not refunded. Weather cancellations are handled differently: you can move to another date or receive a full refund if poor conditions prevent the trip.
I would also plan your food requests and celebration details early. The crew can work with allergies, dietary restrictions, cakes, and decorations, but those arrangements need to be discussed before the day begins.
Should You Book Olivia Grace?
Book it if you can fill most of the 10 available places and want a private Cabo day built around good service, food, drinks, and time in the water. The strongest case for the Olivia Grace is the crew, the flexible format, and the mix of relaxing and active options.
Before you commit, confirm the exact yacht, the menu, the charter length, and what water activities are planned for your date. If your group is small or your budget is tight, compare the $2,499 group price with a shared cruise.
For a birthday, family gathering, or friends’ celebration, I can see the appeal. You get the Cabo Arch and ocean views, but you also get a private space where the day can feel like your own.
