Olivia Grace 60 ft British Princess Yacht Rental
Cabo looks best from the sea. The Olivia Grace gives your group a private 60-foot British Princess yacht, a professional crew, an open bar, and a menu planned around local seafood. I especially like the generous space, with five staterooms, and the mix of quiet cruising and water play. The main catch is the price: at $2,499 for up to 10 people, this makes the most sense when you fill the boat and share the cost.
I also like the personal service. You get a designated crew, a bartender, and food planned before departure, including help with allergies and dietary restrictions. The one point I would check carefully is the exact yacht and menu promised at booking, since one customer reported that the boat pictures did not match the yacht provided and was disappointed with the food, even while praising the staff.

Key Points to Know Before You Book

- Private 60-foot British Princess yacht: Your group has the boat rather than sharing it with a crowd.
- Five staterooms and plenty of room: The layout works well for families, birthday groups, and friends who want space to spread out.
- Open bar with a personal bartender: Drinks are part of the package, and the crew handles service throughout the cruise.
- Food planned around your group: Local seafood and other ingredients are used, with options for dietary restrictions and allergies.
- Water toys included: Paddleboards and an inflatable lily pad give you more to do than simply sit on deck.
- Cabo arch and snorkeling time: The route can include Cabo’s famous arch area and a swim stop, depending on the day’s plan and conditions.
Boarding at Cabo Marina

The experience begins at Cabo San Lucas Marina in Centro, at the marina address in the 23453 area. The activity returns to this same meeting point, which keeps the day simple. Pickup is offered, but confirm the exact pickup arrangement before you pay, especially if you are staying outside central Cabo.
I would arrive with enough time to find the dock without rushing. A marina can be easy to reach yet confusing once you are among slips, boats, restaurants, and tour desks. Your confirmation should arrive within 48 hours, subject to availability, so do not treat the booking as final until that message comes through.
The boat is a 60-foot British Princess yacht named Olivia Grace. That size matters. You are not stepping onto a small open boat where everyone sits shoulder to shoulder. The five staterooms give the group a place to retreat from the sun, while the open areas let you gather for drinks, food, music, and views.
The yacht is rented privately for up to 10 people. That private format is the heart of the experience. You can set the mood for your own group, play music, plan a birthday, or simply enjoy a slower day without adjusting to strangers.

Cruising Out Toward the Cabo Arch
Once underway, the yacht becomes both your transport and your base for the day. The surrounding sea and Cabo’s famous rock formations provide the main show. A smooth ride was an important part of one successful outing, but sea conditions can change, so I would not expect identical water on every departure.
The crew handles the practical work while you settle in. You can order from the open bar, listen to music through the boat’s sound system, and take in the views. The service receives especially high praise, with guests describing the captain and crew as professional, friendly, and attentive.
That attention is useful on a private charter. A good crew can keep drinks moving, explain what is happening, help with water toys, and adjust the rhythm of the day. You are paying for more than a boat. You are paying for someone else to manage the day while your group enjoys it.
The route is not described as a fixed sightseeing itinerary, so you should ask what your captain plans for your date. The Cabo arch area is a natural highlight, and the boat may pause for swimming or snorkeling. Weather and sea conditions can shape the route and the amount of time spent in the water.
Lunch, Fruit, and a Menu Built Before Departure

Food is one of the more distinctive parts of Olivia Grace. The charter uses local seafood and other high-quality ingredients, and the menu is arranged with you before departure. That gives you a chance to explain preferences, allergies, or dietary restrictions rather than hoping a standard boat lunch will work.
You might receive seafood or another selected meal, depending on the menu you choose. One successful outing included club sandwiches, fruit, and assorted snacks. Another praised the chef’s presentation and overall cooking. Those details suggest that the food can feel more like a proper catered meal than an afterthought.
Still, I would ask for the exact menu before boarding. One customer found the food disappointing, and another raised a concern about the boat shown in the pictures. Most of the available feedback is highly positive, but these points are useful reminders to confirm what is included rather than relying only on attractive photos.
The welcome may include drinks and a fruit tray. A birthday group also received a cake and balloons with the birthday person’s name. That kind of personal touch may be possible for special occasions, but you should request it in advance and ask if there is an added cost. It should not be assumed as a standard feature.
The food and drink service also make the yacht practical for a group with mixed interests. Some people can eat and talk in the shade, while others swim or use the paddleboards. You do not need everyone to follow the same schedule.
Water Time With Paddleboards and the Lily Pad

The yacht includes paddleboards and other water toys, including an inflatable lily pad mentioned by a past group. These extras change the feel of the charter. Without them, a boat day can become three hours of sitting, drinking, and taking photos. With them, you can add movement and play.
A typical water stop may give you time to jump in, snorkel, paddle, or relax on the floating platform. The precise stop and duration depend on the captain’s plan and conditions. I would ask how much swimming time is expected if being in the water is your main reason for booking.
The toys should work for a mixed-age group, though anyone using them should be comfortable following the crew’s instructions. Parents may appreciate the chance for children to play while adults enjoy the boat, and older family members can stay aboard without missing the meal or scenery.
Snorkeling is part of the experience described by one group, but it is best not to treat a specific reef, fish sighting, or water clarity as guaranteed. Cabo conditions vary. The yacht gives you access to the water, while nature decides how memorable the underwater part becomes.
Bring practical sun protection. The supplied details do not specify what equipment is provided for snorkeling, so ask about masks, fins, towels, and flotation gear before departure. That one question can prevent an inconvenient trip back to the marina store.

Five Staterooms, Open Decks, and the Feel of a Private Charter

The five staterooms are a major advantage for a group of 10. You may not need every cabin during a shorter cruise, but they provide privacy, shade, and room to rest. That is especially helpful on a full-day rental or when people in your group have different energy levels.
The yacht also includes designated staff and a personal bartender. I see this as a better fit for a celebration or milestone than a basic sightseeing trip. The crew can help make the outing feel special, but the private setting still lets you keep things informal.
The sound system is another useful touch. One birthday group danced for much of the day, so music can be part of the plan. Ask about music connection options and any volume rules before departure if a playlist matters to you. The available information confirms a good sound system, but not the exact connection method.
The boat has room for a group to gather, eat, swim, and separate into smaller pockets. That flexibility is hard to get on a standard shared cruise. You can enjoy a social afternoon without spending every minute in one fixed seat.
Is $2,499 a Good Value for 10 People?

The listed price is $2,499 per group of up to 10. At full capacity, that works out to about $250 per person before any additional costs. For a private yacht with crew, open bar, food planning, staterooms, and water toys, that can be reasonable for a special occasion or a one-time Cabo splurge.
The value drops if only two or three people are sharing the cost. This is not the economical choice for a couple who simply wants a quick ride past the arch. A smaller cruise or basic boat tour may suit that plan better.
For a full group, the price buys privacy as much as it buys time on the water. You are not just paying for a seat. You are reserving the yacht, crew, food service, drinks, and activities for your own circle. I would compare the price with other private charters only after checking whether their quotes include food, alcohol, crew, and water equipment.
Duration ranges from about three hours to one full day. Confirm the exact length and total price for your date, since a three-hour charter and a full-day rental offer very different value. A half-day outing may be the sweet spot for many people: enough time to cruise, eat, swim, and relax without making the yacht day your entire vacation.
The charter is booked an average of 46 days ahead, which tells you to plan early for popular dates. This matters most for birthdays, holidays, and larger groups. If your schedule is flexible, you may have more choices, but confirmation remains subject to availability.
Who Will Enjoy Olivia Grace Most?

I would recommend this yacht most strongly to:
- Families or friends who can fill most of the 10 available places
- Groups marking a birthday, anniversary, reunion, or other occasion
- People who want private service rather than a shared party cruise
- Diners who care about arranging food around preferences or restrictions
- Groups that want both relaxed cruising and water activities
- Visitors who are happy to pay for comfort, space, and personal attention
It may be less suitable for a budget-minded couple or solo visitor. You are paying for the whole yacht, so the cost only becomes attractive when divided among a larger group.
It also may not suit someone who wants a tightly scheduled sightseeing route with named stops and guaranteed snorkeling conditions. The day is built around the yacht, crew, food, and flexible water time rather than a long list of fixed attractions.
Service animals are allowed, and the marina is near public transportation. Most people can participate. If anyone in your group has mobility, medical, or water-safety concerns, ask the operator for specific details before booking, since the supplied information does not explain boarding access or onboard arrangements.
Booking Questions Worth Asking

I would confirm these details before finalizing your plans:
- Which exact yacht will be used on your date?
- Is the charter three hours, half a day, or a full day?
- What food menu is available, and what is included in the quoted price?
- Can the chef handle your group’s allergies or dietary restrictions?
- What snorkeling equipment is provided?
- Is the birthday cake or balloon setup available, and does it cost extra?
- Is pickup included for your hotel, or do you meet at the marina?
- What route and water stops does the captain expect to make?
- What happens if wind or poor weather affects the outing?
These questions are not needless fussing. They protect you from mismatched expectations, particularly when the boat, menu, and exact duration matter to your decision.
You can cancel for a full refund if you do so at least 24 hours before the start time. Changes or cancellations inside that 24-hour window are not accepted for a refund. The activity requires good weather. If the operator cancels because of poor conditions, you can choose another date or receive a full refund.

Should You Book Olivia Grace?
Book it if you can bring a full group and want a private Cabo day built around comfort, food, drinks, and personal service. The strongest reasons are the attentive crew, five staterooms, open bar, planned menu, and water toys. Those features make the yacht useful for both celebration and easygoing family time.
I would pause if you are booking for only a few people, need a guaranteed menu or specific yacht, or mainly want a low-cost ride to the arch. Confirm the boat, duration, food, pickup, and water equipment first. With those details settled, Olivia Grace looks like a strong choice for a polished, flexible day on the Cabo sea.
