Number Juan 100ft Yacht Azimut Rental

Cabo looks best from the water. The Number Juan pairs a 100-foot Azimut yacht with a private chef, open bar, and a crew that pays close attention to small details. I especially like the fresh seafood menu and the useful water toys, from paddleboards to a Sea Bob. The main drawback is the price: $4,925 for up to 10 people is a major splurge, and the published capacity should be confirmed if your group is larger.

This is a polished private charter rather than a basic boat ride. You can set the mood with your own music, swim in the Sea of Cortez, and enjoy a menu shaped around your group. I would book early, since this yacht is often reserved about 16 days ahead, and I would confirm the exact boat capacity, cruise length, and pickup details before paying.

Key points about the Number Juan

• A full-service 100-foot Azimut: Four bedrooms, a dedicated crew, and space for a special occasion make this more than a short sightseeing cruise.
• Chef Saul’s custom meals: Past menus have included fajitas, sushi, guacamole, dinner, and plenty of food for large groups.
• A serious drink program: Lupita and Letty handle the open bar, including cocktails made with Number Juan tequila.
• Water time is part of the plan: Paddleboards, kayaks, snorkel gear, swim mats, and a Sea Bob are available.
• Pickup simplifies the day: Transportation can collect you from your resort or villa and return you to the marina.
• Best for celebrations: Birthdays, post-wedding gatherings, family groups, and milestone trips fit this charter especially well.

Arriving at Cabo Marina on the Number Juan

Your charter begins at the marina in Cabo San Lucas, though pickup from your resort or villa is offered. That transfer matters more than it may sound. A private yacht day already involves swimsuits, towels, food preferences, sunscreen, and a group trying to leave on time. Having transportation arranged can remove one more moving part.

The exact pickup time should be confirmed after booking. Confirmation is sent within 48 hours, subject to availability, so do not treat the initial reservation as the final word on every detail.

Once you reach the marina, you can expect a polished welcome aboard. Champagne has been served at boarding, and the crew is assigned to specific jobs rather than leaving everyone to fend for themselves. Alex has helped coordinate the experience and explain the schedule, while Captain Gabby has handled the yacht. Lupita and Letty work the drinks, Diego helps with guest service and water activities, and Chef Saul prepares the food.

That division of labor is one reason this charter feels different from a small rental with a single captain. You are not asking one person to steer, pour drinks, cook lunch, and explain the safety rules. The crew can keep the boat tidy and still watch what is happening in the water.

A 100-foot yacht with room to spread out

The Number Juan includes four bedrooms, which gives the boat a sense of scale and makes it suitable for a long private outing. The listing describes the charter as lasting from about three hours to a full day, so the boat can work for a quick coastal cruise or a much longer celebration.

The yacht itself is one of the main attractions. Past visitors have found it clean and very well maintained, with enough room for social time, meals, music, and swimming. A 100-foot boat also gives your group options. You can gather together for a toast, find a quieter spot when you want a break, or move outside for views and fresh air.

The practical question is group size. The advertised rate covers up to 10 people, but past accounts describe groups of 12 and even 25 aboard the Number Juan. Because those numbers do not match the published price information, I would ask Cabo Yacht Charters to confirm the maximum legal capacity, the price for additional people, and which areas of the yacht are available to your group.

That check is especially important for families or large birthday parties. A yacht can feel spacious with 10 people and much busier with 25. You want the final arrangement in writing before you plan the event around it.

Sailing past Cabo’s coast

The route is flexible enough to suit your occasion, but the supplied details describe cruises along the Cabo coast and through the Sea of Cortez. One group sailed from San José del Cabo to Cabo San Lucas and back, with whale sightings along the way. Wildlife is never guaranteed, but a coastal route gives you a chance to watch the water and enjoy Cabo from a much calmer viewpoint.

The shoreline views are best treated as part of the meal and swimming day, not as a formal sightseeing tour with a long list of narrated stops. You are paying for private use of the yacht, crew attention, food, and time on the water. If you want a particular route or landmark, ask about it when you plan the menu and schedule.

A four-hour cruise from 3 to 7 p.m. has worked well for a celebration, especially because it includes late-afternoon light and sunset. That timing also gives you a natural rhythm: board, settle in with drinks, eat, stop for water activities, and finish with the coast glowing in the evening.

A three-hour booking will feel more focused. You may have time for a cruise, a meal, and a swim, but not the same relaxed pace as a longer charter. If swimming and paddleboarding are priorities, I would choose more than the minimum time if your budget allows.

Chef Saul’s menu and the open bar

Food is a major part of the Number Juan experience. The chef prepares a custom meal using local seafood and fresh ingredients, and the team works with you in advance to select from the available menu options. Food allergies and dietary restrictions can be accommodated, but you should raise them before the cruise, not after boarding.

The food served to past groups has included sushi, fajitas, guacamole, and dinner dishes. One group of 12 had enough food for leftovers, while another described the meal as a highlight of the day. That suggests the kitchen is prepared for more than light snacks, though your exact meal depends on the menu you choose and the charter length.

I like this setup because it lets you match the meal to the occasion. A relaxed afternoon might call for easy food between swims. A birthday or post-wedding cruise may justify a full dinner, a custom cake, or special decorations. One large birthday group received customized balloons and a customized cake, so celebration planning is clearly part of the service.

The open bar includes Number Juan tequila, described as an award-winning house specialty, along with cocktails and other drinks. Lupita and Letty have received special praise for keeping drinks moving quickly and responding to individual requests. That personal service can make a large difference on a private boat, where you do not want to keep hunting for the bar.

Still, the open bar deserves a little common sense. Cabo sun, motion, and alcohol can catch up with you quickly. Eat early, drink water, and tell the crew if someone in your group needs a nonalcoholic option. The point is to enjoy the full day, not lose the afternoon after the first round.

Swimming, paddleboards, and the Sea Bob

The water equipment gives the charter more variety than a cruise spent sitting on deck. The boat carries kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear, a Sea Bob, and swim mats. Past groups have swum, jumped from the yacht, used paddleboards, and relaxed on the floating mats.

The crew supervises water activities, which is valuable for mixed-age groups. One celebration included people from age six to 85, and the crew helped everyone follow safety instructions. That does not remove the need for personal caution, especially around deep water, but it means you are not left to organize every swim stop yourself.

Ask the crew how the water conditions look on your day. The charter requires good weather, and conditions can affect how long you spend in the water. Equipment availability is listed as part of the experience, but the actual usefulness of snorkel gear or paddleboards depends on the sea and the chosen route.

The Sea Bob is an especially fun extra for confident swimmers. It lets you move through the water with less effort than a standard swim, while the paddleboards and kayaks offer slower, easier ways to enjoy the stop. If your group has different energy levels, that mix helps. Some people can play in the water while others stay on a mat with a drink.

The crew makes the expensive price easier to understand

At $4,925 per group of up to 10, the Number Juan is not an ordinary excursion. The simple per-person calculation comes to about $493 each if all 10 places are filled. That remains a lot, but it includes the yacht, designated staff, chef, bartender, open bar, food planning, transportation pickup, and water equipment.

For a couple or a small family, the value is harder to justify. You are paying for privacy and service, not for the least expensive way to see Cabo. A group splitting the cost among several couples, or a family marking a major birthday, may find the price more reasonable.

The staff-to-service ratio also helps explain the cost. Alex and Diego have handled hosting and guest needs, Lupita and Letty have managed drinks, Saul has cooked, and Captain Gabby has operated the yacht. That level of staffing gives you a true hosted experience rather than a bare boat rental.

I would compare the price with your group’s priorities. If you mainly want a quick ride and a few photos, a shorter and simpler boat trip may be better. If you want a private setting where the crew handles meals, drinks, safety, cleanup, music, and equipment, the Number Juan offers much more than transportation.

Celebrations, families, and the right kind of group

This yacht is at its best when everyone wants a shared event. A joint 60th birthday, post-wedding gathering, reunion, or milestone vacation gives the crew something to build around. Customized balloons, cakes, menus, music, and photo opportunities can turn a boat ride into the central event of the trip.

Families can also make good use of it. The range of ages on one past cruise shows that the day does not have to be built around one age group. Children can enjoy the water equipment, older relatives can stay comfortable on board, and the crew can help keep the activity organized.

The best group is one that enjoys being together. A private yacht does not create much personal space once everyone gathers for meals or water activities. If your party has sharply different ideas about music, drinking, swimming, or timing, agree on a loose plan in advance.

The boat is also a good fit for anyone who values attentive service. Diego has been known to clean sunglasses repeatedly, a small touch that sounds almost silly until salt spray and sunscreen make it useful. The crew also keeps cleaning as the day goes on, so the boat remains pleasant during a long charter.

Timing, weather, and what to confirm

A three-hour trip is the minimum advertised duration, while bookings may extend to a full day. Ask for the exact duration before you finalize your plans. The difference between three and six hours changes how much time you have for a proper meal, a swim stop, and a relaxed return.

Late afternoon is a strong choice if you want sunset views. A 3 to 7 p.m. schedule has provided a natural celebration window, but morning or midday may suit a group that cares more about swimming than evening light.

Good weather is required. If poor weather cancels the charter, you can choose another date or receive a full refund. The standard cancellation policy also allows a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations inside 24 hours are not refunded, and changes inside that window are not accepted.

Before you board, confirm these points:

• The number of people allowed and any added cost beyond 10
• Your pickup time and resort or villa address
• The exact cruise length
• Your selected menu and dietary needs
• The planned route and swimming stop
• The equipment you want to use
• Any birthday cake, balloons, or other celebration details

Service animals are allowed, and the activity is near public transportation. Most people can participate, but you should raise any mobility, medical, or swimming concerns with the operator before booking.

Should you book the Number Juan?

I would book the Number Juan if you have a group of up to 10, a meaningful occasion, and a budget for a high-end private day. The strongest reasons are the attentive crew, custom chef service, open bar, clean yacht, and unusually good mix of water equipment.

I would pause if you are traveling as only one or two people, watching costs closely, or looking for a simple sightseeing ride. You may not use enough of the yacht or staff to make the price feel worthwhile.

For the best fit, plan at least a few weeks ahead, confirm the capacity issue, share food restrictions early, and consider a four-hour late-afternoon charter if sunset matters. If those details line up, this is a polished way to celebrate Cabo with your own people, while the crew handles the work.
