The experience

Nothing between you
and the ocean.

Not a glass panel. Not a viewing box. The entire boat — sides, seats, floor — is see-through polycarbonate. You sit above a living aquarium. Schools of yellowfin surgeonfish, pufferfish, and moray eels drift beneath you the entire tour.

01

Board at the marina

Check in at the blue-and-yellow office near the fountain in Plaza Bonita. Your captain and guide-photographer will have you on the water in minutes.

02

Sail toward Land's End

As you clear the breakwater, El Arco rises ahead — three stories of tawny limestone where the Pacific meets the Sea of Cortez. Your guide shares the history with every turn.

03

Stop at Pelican Rock

The boat slows over the marine sanctuary. Toss bread and watch tropical fish surge beneath the transparent floor. Sea lions bark from the rocks to your left.

04

Return with your photos

Your guide-photographer has shot the whole trip. Buy the full package or just the ones you love. Most guests fill their phones with 200+ images.

What you'll see
from the water.

The tour visits every major sight in Cabo Bay — no extra stops, no filler.

El Arco

The Arch of Cabo San Lucas. Where the Pacific Ocean collides with the Sea of Cortez. The most photographed natural formation in Mexico.

Lover's Beach

Playa del Amor — a secluded cove accessible only by water. Sheltered water, white sand, dramatic cliff faces. Swim if conditions allow.

Pelican Rock

The marine sanctuary where fish crowd beneath your boat. Your guide tosses bread and the water comes alive with color.

Sea Lion Colony

Dozens of sea lions sun themselves on the rocks at Land's End. They bark, splash, and occasionally dive in to follow the boat.

Neptune's Finger

A finger of volcanic rock jutting from the sea. Sail close enough to see the tidal pools and barnacles on its face.

Divorce Beach

The Pacific side of Land's End. Beautiful to photograph, dangerous to swim. The tour circles it at safe distance.

The vessel

Not a glass-bottom boat.
A fully transparent boat.

A glass-bottom boat has a small window in the floor. A transparent boat has no floor you can't see through. Sides, seats, hull — everything is see-through polycarbonate, patented for 10 years. The experience is categorically different. Guests describe it as flying above the water.
