Number Juan 100ft Yacht Azimut Rental

The best part of the Number Juan is that it works as both a polished luxury meal and a playful day on the Sea of Cortez. You can settle into a 100-foot Azimut yacht for chef-prepared seafood and cocktails, then jump into the water with paddleboards, kayaks, snorkel gear, a swim mat, or a Sea Bob.

I like the personal service most. A dedicated crew, including captain Gabby, host Diego, bartenders Lupita and Letty, and chef Saul, gives the outing a private feel rather than a crowded party-boat mood. I also like the food flexibility: the chef can plan a custom menu around allergies and dietary restrictions.

The main consideration is cost. At $4,925 per group of up to 10, this is a major splurge, and the value improves sharply when you fill the boat. The exact route, meal, and water time also depend on your chosen duration and conditions.

Key details before you book

• A full 100-foot Azimut yacht: You get four bedrooms, dedicated staff, and space for both relaxed cruising and water activities.
• A true all-inclusive setup: A private chef, personal bartender, open bar, and water toys are included in the experience.
• Number Juan tequila: The bar features the yacht’s namesake tequila along with cocktails and champagne service.
• A custom menu: Local seafood and fresh ingredients can be planned around food allergies or dietary restrictions.
• Water time is built in: Kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear, a Sea Bob, and a swim mat give you more to do than simply sit aboard.
• Resort pickup is available: Transportation can collect you from your resort or villa before returning you to the Cabo marina.

What the Number Juan experience feels like

You start at the marina in Cabo San Lucas, unless you arrange pickup from your resort or villa. The yacht then returns to that same meeting point at the end of your charter. Since the boat is private, your group can shape the day around food, music, swimming, sightseeing, and celebration rather than following a fixed public-tour schedule.

The Number Juan has four bedrooms, but this is not simply a floating hotel room. The bedrooms add comfort and privacy on a large yacht, especially during a longer charter or a full-day booking. For a three-hour outing, you may spend little time below deck, but the cabins still give the vessel a real yacht feel.

The service plan is clear from the moment you arrive. A captain handles the boat, a host helps organize the day, bartenders keep drinks moving, and a chef prepares the meal. That division of work matters. You are not left trying to find a cooler, prepare lunch, or manage equipment while also enjoying the water.

The 5 rating from 97 reviews and a 100 percent recommendation rate suggest a consistently strong experience. More useful than the numbers, though, is the pattern behind them: food, crew attention, cleanliness, safety around the water, and the condition of the yacht receive the strongest praise.

Your first moments aboard, champagne and a quick orientation

The welcome sets the tone. Champagne service is part of the arrival experience, and the crew explains how the outing will run before you settle in. Host Diego has been praised for explaining the schedule clearly and checking that everyone is comfortable.

That early orientation is worth paying attention to. A private yacht can feel large at first, and you will get more from the day if you understand where the water gear is stored, when lunch will be served, and how much time is planned for swimming. You can also use this moment to confirm dietary needs and the menu your group selected.

The crew’s language support is another practical plus. Alex is described as speaking perfect English, and the experience is offered in English. That helps when you are discussing food allergies, safety instructions, music, and water activities.

You can expect a polished setting, but not a stiff one. The music can be chosen by your group, and the staff is described as friendly, attentive, and happy to help. The mood can shift from quiet coastal sightseeing to a livelier birthday or post-wedding celebration without changing the basic service.

Cruising from Cabo, with the coast as your backdrop

Once underway, the yacht gives you a wide view of Cabo’s coast and the Sea of Cortez. The route is not described as a fixed list of stops, so do not book this expecting a rigid sightseeing itinerary with guaranteed landmarks. Instead, think of it as a private cruise where the captain and crew help shape the timing.

One group used a four-hour afternoon charter from 3 to 7 p.m., which allowed time for cruising, swimming, food, and sunset views. That is a useful model for planning. A four-hour booking gives you more breathing room than the shortest option without taking up an entire day.

A cruise from San José del Cabo toward Cabo San Lucas and back has also been used successfully, with whale sightings along the way. Whales are wildlife, so no sighting can be promised, but the open route gives you a chance to watch the water and coastline as the yacht moves between the two areas.

Sunset is one of the strongest reasons to consider an afternoon departure. The light changes the feel of the boat, and the combination of music, drinks, and coastal views suits celebrations particularly well. If your group cares more about swimming than sunset, an earlier start may give you more comfortable time for the water activities.

The captain matters here. Captain Gabby has been praised for smooth handling of the 100-foot yacht through the Sea of Cortez. That does not mean the water will always be perfectly calm, but a steady ride makes it easier to eat, take photographs, and move around the boat.

Chef Saul’s menu and the value of an open bar

Food is one of the strongest reasons to choose this charter over a basic boat rental. Your personal chef works with you before the outing to create a menu from the available options. The food centers on local seafood and fresh ingredients, with examples including sushi, fajitas, guacamole, and other substantial dishes.

The portions can be generous. One dinner served a group of 12 with leftovers, though the listed price and standard capacity are for up to 10 people. The practical point is that this is not just snack service. You should plan to eat aboard and treat the meal as part of the main event.

Food allergies and dietary restrictions can be accommodated, but tell the operator when planning the menu. Do not wait until boarding. The chef’s ability to adjust the food is valuable for a mixed group, especially when children, older family members, or people with specific dietary needs are joining.

The open bar includes the award-winning Number Juan tequila, the spirit that gives the yacht its name. Personal bartenders Lupita and Letty prepare cocktails and keep service moving. Champagne is available at the welcome, and the overall setup is designed so you do not need to bring your own drinks.

The bar adds real value for a celebration, but it also calls for sensible planning. With an open bar, swimming, jumping from the yacht, and water equipment all in the same outing, listen carefully to the crew’s safety guidance. You will enjoy the day more if you pace yourself before getting in the water.

Water activities, from paddleboards to the Sea Bob

The Number Juan includes a good selection of equipment: kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear, and a Sea Bob. A swim mat is also mentioned as a relaxing option in the water. This mix gives your group choices, which is important on a private charter where not everyone wants the same pace.

You might paddle along the yacht, use the kayaks for a calmer outing, or simply float on the mat. Snorkel gear is available for looking below the surface, but the supplied information does not promise a particular reef, fish population, or water clarity. Treat snorkeling as an available activity, not a guaranteed wildlife encounter.

The Sea Bob offers a more energetic way to move through the water. It is a special feature rather than standard equipment on many boat outings, so it may be a highlight for confident swimmers. If some members of your group prefer not to swim, they can stay aboard, enjoy the food, or use the yacht as a comfortable base.

Safety supervision is part of the service. The crew has been praised for supervising swimming and water play, and guests have described feeling safe while jumping from the yacht or using the equipment. You should still follow every instruction, especially around jumping, boarding, and alcohol consumption.

The water stop is also where the charter becomes more personal than a sightseeing cruise. You can spend less time taking photographs and more time actually using the Sea of Cortez. Just remember that your available water time depends on the length of your booking and the captain’s judgment about conditions.

How long should you book?

The stated duration ranges from about three hours to a full day. Three hours can work if you want a short luxury cruise, a meal on the water, and a quick swim. It will feel compact, especially if your group wants cocktails, a full meal, photographs, and several water activities.

Four hours is a practical middle ground. A 3 to 7 p.m. charter allowed one group to combine cruising, food, swimming, and sunset. I would consider this the sensible choice for a celebration when you want the yacht to feel like the main event without committing an entire day.

A full-day booking makes more sense if your group wants a slower rhythm. You can spread out lunch, water time, coastal cruising, and relaxation rather than fitting everything into a short window. The longer option also gives the four bedrooms more practical value.

There is no single best duration. For a birthday dinner or post-wedding gathering, four hours may be enough. For a family reunion or a group that wants to spend serious time with the water toys, plan longer if your budget allows.

The $4,925 price, and when it makes sense

The price is $4,925 per group of up to 10 people. At full capacity, that works out to about $492.50 per person before considering any separate costs not stated in the supplied details. That is still expensive, but it is easier to justify when the alternative is arranging separate transport, a private boat, meals, a bar, and water equipment.

The price includes the core luxury elements: the yacht, dedicated staff, private chef, personal bartender, open bar, and listed water toys. You are paying for privacy and service, not only for a boat ride.

The value drops if only a few people share the charter. A group of four would carry the same group price across far fewer people, though you would gain much more space. For a small group, compare this with a shorter charter or a smaller private boat before booking.

The best value comes when your group cares about the entire package. If all you want is a quick look at the Cabo coast, a standard cruise may cost less. If you want a private celebration with food, drinks, swimming, and staff handling the details, the Number Juan makes a stronger case.

Who will enjoy this yacht most?

This charter suits groups marking a milestone: birthdays, post-wedding celebrations, family gatherings, and special dinners. The crew has experience serving a wide age range, from young children to older adults, and the yacht offers ways to participate without everyone needing to swim.

It also works for friends who want a social day with music, cocktails, and water activities. The ability to choose your music helps your group set the mood, while the chef and bartenders handle the practical work.

Families should appreciate the private setting and the ability to move between active and quiet moments. Still, adults remain responsible for keeping children close and following the crew’s safety directions. The water toys are a benefit, not a substitute for supervision.

This is less suitable for anyone seeking a low-cost excursion, a tightly scheduled sightseeing tour, or a guaranteed whale-watching trip. The yacht gives you flexibility, but that means the experience is shaped by your group’s choices and the weather.

Booking, pickup, and cancellation details

The meeting point is the marina in Cabo San Lucas, and the activity ends there. Resort or villa pickup is offered, which can simplify the day if your group is staying outside the marina area. Confirm the pickup details when you book.

Confirmation is sent within 48 hours, subject to availability. The activity is offered in English, mobile tickets are available, service animals are allowed, and it is near public transportation. Most people can participate, though you should discuss any personal mobility or medical concerns with the operator before booking.

Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Changes or cancellations made less than 24 hours before departure are not refunded or accepted. Since the cruise requires good weather, a cancellation caused by poor conditions brings the choice of another date or a full refund.

Should you book the Number Juan?

Book it if you want the boat itself to be the centerpiece of your Cabo celebration. The strongest reasons are the 100-foot Azimut, the attentive crew, the chef-prepared custom meal, the Number Juan tequila bar, and the unusually broad set of water toys.

I would book four hours for a celebration that includes sunset, dinner, drinks, and a swim. Choose longer if your group wants a relaxed full-day pace. Before paying, make sure you can fill enough of the 10-person capacity to make the price feel comfortable, and send every dietary request in advance.

Skip it if your budget is tight or you mainly want a quick coastal ride. For everyone else, especially a full group celebrating something important, this is a polished private charter with enough food, service, and water time to feel like a complete Cabo day rather than a simple boat rental.
