The Pez Gato sunset party cruise is a two-hour evening boat ride from Cabo San Lucas Marina with an open bar, a sound system and a crowd of adults, priced at $82 per person on GetYourGuide. It is a party first and a sightseeing trip second, although the route passes the Arch.

The detail that changes the decision is the age line: this one is 18 and over, not 21 as on most US party boats, because the drinking age in Mexico is lower. Pez Gato (operating as Pez Gato Amazing Adventures) also sells a snorkel cruise and a whale-watching catamaran, so I compare those below.

This page is part of my Cabo San Lucas boat tours comparison, and my Harbour Advisor home page links the other cities. If you want a quieter evening, my Cabo San Lucas sunset cruise guide covers the calmer boats.

What is the Pez Gato sunset party cruise and what do you get?

You get a two-hour catamaran party with an open bar, music and a short run past the Arch, timed to finish around sunset.

I rebuilt the package from the listing's structured data rather than its sales copy:

• Open bar: a national bar, which means domestic spirits and beer rather than imported labels. Only guests aged 18 or more may drink.
• Music: the crew runs the playlist; the listing says the mood depends on who is aboard and can run from laid-back to loud.
• Snacks: a small tray of salty snacks according to one reviewer, so plan dinner separately.
• Transfers: round-trip transport is on the included list, but it has to be arranged 48 hours before departure.
• Gratuity: shown as included on this listing.

One trap sits in that list. Pez Gato's own 4-hour snorkel cruise says gratuities are not included, while this party cruise lists "Gratuity" as included. The two products come from the same operator, so I'd ask the crew at check-in how tips are handled instead of assuming either way.

Where does the Pez Gato catamaran leave from?

The cruise sets sail from Cabo San Lucas Marina, but the listing does not publish a dock number, a street address or a check-in desk.

That gap matters because the marina is a long waterfront with several operators. Open the marina on Google Maps to see the basin, then use the meeting details in your booking confirmation. If the confirmation is vague, message the local partner through GetYourGuide before the day.

Most guests will not walk at all, because the listing offers hotel pickup from four zones:

1. Cabo San Lucas: the town and marina area.
2. La Playa: the beach-front hotel area near town.
3. Tourist Corridor: the hotel strip between Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo.
4. San José del Cabo: the second town, the longest transfer.

Pickup has to be arranged 48 hours before the cruise. If your hotel is not offered at checkout, the listing says to contact the local partner after booking. There is no train or metro in Cabo, so the transfer is the practical way to reach the marina without a taxi.

What do you see on the route?

You see the Arch, the sea lion colony and Lover's Beach from the water, then the sun going down over the Pacific.

The listing's stop order is the most reliable guide to the evening. Its legs add up to 100 minutes, so the rest of the 2 hours is presumably boarding and unspecified time that the listing does not break down:

By this order the sunset stop starts about 50 minutes after leaving the dock. That is my arithmetic from the listing, not an operator timetable, and it is why the sunset table further down matters.

1. Arch of Cabo San Lucas - the rock arch at Land's End, the headline photo: the Arch on Google Maps.
2. Lover's Beach - the small beach next to the Arch, reached only by water: Lover's Beach on Google Maps.
3. Pelican Rock - the rock formation just off the Arch: Pelican Rock on Google Maps.

The Arch sits in the Cabo San Lucas Flora and Fauna Protection Area, which the Los Cabos municipal tourism site says was designated on 9 August 1973 (Los Cabos tourism authority).

From the marina basin the Arch is roughly 1.5 to 1.7 km in a straight line, based on the Google Maps coordinates of Dock 0 and the Cabo Adventures marina office. The sail itself is therefore short and most of the 2 hours is spent drifting with a drink.

How long is the Pez Gato sunset party and when does it sail?

The cruise lasts 2 hours, and the listing does not publish fixed sailing times; you pick a slot in the booking calendar.

To end up on deck for the sun, match your slot to the month. If the listing's stop order holds, the sun should set about 50 minutes after you cast off, so the boat has to leave roughly 50 minutes before the time below.

In October, sunset is at 5:55 PM, so a boat leaving near 5:00 PM would reach the sunset stop on time, while a 6:30 PM sailing would be in the dark. In June the sun sets after 7 PM and the same logic gives a later slot. Take the sunset for your month, subtract about 50 minutes and look for a calendar slot near that time.

What is on board and who can come?

The listing confirms a bar, music and a catamaran deck, and it excludes wheelchair users; it does not state a toilet, shade cover or capacity.

I would ask about the restroom and group size before booking, since 2 hours with an open bar is long enough for it to matter. The listing asks you to bring a passport or ID card, which fits the 18+ rule.

How does the Pez Gato sunset party compare with other Cabo sunset cruises?

It is the cheapest party option on this list, and its rating of 4.4 is level with the pirate-ship cruises but below the shared sailing cruise.

If you want food, the party boat is the wrong tool because it serves only snacks; the pirate-ship and dinner boats cost $17 to $33 more and feed you. See all the evening options in my Cabo San Lucas dinner cruise guide.

The same operator also runs two daytime products you can combine with this one on a longer trip: the Pez Gato 4-hour snorkeling cruise at $104 and the Pez Gato whale-watching catamaran at $97.

Is the Pez Gato sunset party boat worth it against a quiet sunset sail?

For a group that wants drinks, music and a view at $41 per hour, the Pez Gato sunset party is good value; for a calm evening, the shared sailing cruise is the better pick.

Do the arithmetic on the bar: at $82, a handful of drinks already covers the ticket in most Cabo marina bars, and the transfer is included. The sub-scores on GetYourGuide back the value claim at 4.4 for value, 4.4 for the guide and 4.5 for transportation.

My honest limits: a 4.4 average is mid-table for the city, where the top-rated tours sit at 4.9, and a party boat rises or falls with the crowd on your date. The review sample I could read is all five-star, so it is positive-only.

3.77 million visitors came to Los Cabos in 2025, a record, so peak-season sunset slots fill early.

When is the best time to book the Pez Gato sunset party?

The driest and calmest months are November to April, when 2025 daily highs sat between 25 and 29°C and rain days were close to zero.

September is the problem month: 143 mm of rain on 16 rain days in 2025, which matches the eastern Pacific hurricane season that, according to the National Hurricane Center, runs from May 15 to November 30 and peaks in late August. The listing gives only a free cancellation window of 24 hours and no weather policy, so ask the operator what happens when the port closes.

The Nager.Date API lists Revolution Day on Nov 16 and Christmas Day on Dec 25 as the next public holidays, and long weekends are when evening slots sell out first.

What do passengers say?

Passengers praise the crew and the drinks; the sample I could read is all five-star, so I counted themes instead of quoting.

• Crew and host - the most common theme, with several reviewers naming a host who kept the party moving.
• Drinks - repeated praise for cocktails and a steady flow, plus one note about a small tray of snacks.
• Views - a smooth sea let the boat reach all the landmarks, according to one guest.
• Logistics - one visitor reports a hotel pickup on time and a quick transfer back.

The platform sub-scores are 4.4 for the guide, 4.5 for transportation and 4.4 for value. There is no recurring complaint in the shown reviews, but five-star-only samples hide the bad nights, so I would still check the date-specific weather.

Who should skip the Pez Gato sunset party?

Skip it if you are under 18, in a wheelchair, want a meal, or want a quiet sunset.

• Under 18: not allowed; the listing says the cruise is only for guests aged 18 and over.
• Wheelchair users: the listing marks the tour as not suitable.
• Diners: choose the pirate ship cruise, which includes a barbecue dinner.
• Quiet sunset: take the shared sunset sail at $84.

How do you book the Pez Gato sunset party cruise?
