Olivia Grace 60 ft British Princess Yacht Rental
Book on Viator →Operated by Cabo Yacht Charters · Bookable on Viator
First comes the water, then the pampering. The Olivia Grace 60 ft British Princess yacht turns a Cabo cruise into a full, on-board experience with a dedicated crew, an open bar, and real time in the sun.
I especially like the staff-to-space feel. With designated crew members plus a personal bartender, the vibe stays relaxed instead of chaotic. I also like the food planning: you build the menu from available options, with support for allergies and dietary restrictions.
One thing to think about is the weather factor. This experience requires good weather, so you’ll want flexible plans if the sea is rough.

The Olivia Grace Yacht in Cabo: What You’re Actually Renting

The Olivia Grace is a 60 ft British Princess yacht, and that size matters. You get enough deck space to spread out, plus interior room to cool down when the sun gets ambitious. Cabo is bright and warm, so having both “stay out” and “step in” zones makes a huge difference.
You’ll start and end right at the Cabo San Lucas Centro Marina (23453 Cabo San Lucas, BCS, Mexico). That makes the whole day feel simpler. No multi-transfer puzzle. Just show up, board, and settle in.
From the basics, it’s built for groups: the rental price is set per group (up to 10). And with 5 staterooms, it’s designed to comfortably host people without everyone feeling crammed into one corner.

Price and Value: How $2,499 per Group Adds Up
The price is $2,499.00 per group (up to 10). On paper, that can look like a “splurge.” Here’s the practical math: instead of paying separately for a boat, drinks, and food, you’re bundling them into one charter.
What makes it feel like better value is what’s included:
- Open bar (run by a personal bartender)
- A menu crafted on board, using local seafood and ingredients
- Appetizers/snacks and meals during the cruise
- Water toys such as paddleboards and a Lillypad
- Designated staff for service and attention
If you’ve ever priced out a Cabo day where you pay for drinks plus lunch plus activity rentals, the total climbs fast. This charter aims to keep you from “nickel-and-diming” your own vacation.
The other value angle: timing. The rental runs from about 3 hours up to 1 day (approx.). If you’re deciding between a short outing and a half-day cruise, this structure gives you options that match your energy level—without changing the character of the experience.
On-Board All-Inclusive Setup: Crew, Bar, and Water Toys

This is where the Olivia Grace experience gets its reputation. The boat is staffed with a dedicated, professional crew, plus a personal bartender. That matters because it changes how the trip feels. You don’t have to play “bartender roulette” or wait around hoping someone catches your eye.
The bar is open bar, so you can plan your day around it. And because the staff attention is part of the package, you can actually spend your brain on choosing where to swim and when to eat—rather than worrying about logistics.
Then there are the water tools. The yacht includes:
- Paddleboards
- On-board water toys
- A Lillypad
- Time to get in the water (including snorkeling)
That combo is great for mixed groups. Some people want to snorkel. Others want to cruise over on a board. A few just want to sit and float. Everyone gets a lane.
Also, the yacht has 5 staterooms, which is a big deal if you ever extend a trip or bring more people than you planned for. Even for a shorter cruise, having multiple sleeping areas signals “this boat was built for hosting,” not just sightseeing.
Cabo Cruise Flow: From Marina to Cabo Arch Time

Your ride starts at the Cabo San Lucas Centro Marina and loops back there at the end. In between, the day is built around cruising along the Cabo coastline and taking advantage of spots near the iconic rock formation people come for: the Cabo arch (El Arco).
Here’s the practical way to think about the cruising time:
- You’ll spend part of the outing moving around the area for views.
- You’ll get breaks where the crew helps set you up for being in the water.
- Food and drinks show up on board while you’re out there, so you’re not stuck waiting until you’re back on land.
The cruise is intentionally “no rush.” On a yacht day like this, the best moments tend to happen between the planned moments—when the boat slows, the crew hands you something cool to drink, and you realize you’re already in the best seat.
The smooth ride factor matters too. One of the recurring themes from the experience is that it tends to feel comfortable—good news if you’re bringing people who don’t love a bumpy day on the water.
Snorkeling and Lillypad Fun: How to Plan Your Time in the Water

This charter is built for ocean play, not just a photo shoot from the rail. You can expect:
- Snorkeling time
- Paddleboard use
- Lillypad time
- General “jump in and have fun” water breaks
That means you’ll want to treat the day like a real activity plan, not a passive cruise. I’d plan around three blocks:
1) Get oriented on board and try the first drink.
2) Eat something light, then go do your water activity.
3) Come back, cool off, and enjoy the next snack or meal cycle.
If you’re bringing different ages or different comfort levels, this setup is a smart fit. Paddleboards and the Lillypad can be lower-pressure than snorkeling. And snorkeling can be the main event for people who want to see more underwater.
Quick note: the experience requires good weather. If conditions aren’t ideal, you’ll want to be flexible with how much time you spend in the water. The crew will still help you make the best of the day, but the sea has final say.

Food and Drinks: Seafood Menu Choices With Real Dietary Support

The yacht’s food approach is one of the biggest reasons people book this kind of charter. The menu is designed to use local seafood and ingredients, and you’re not stuck with a single “plain lunch special.”
The process is practical: upon booking, you’ll work with them to create the perfect menu from the options available. They also offer choices for food allergies or dietary restrictions. That’s a big deal on a boat, where options can get limited fast.
What you might find served can include items like club sandwiches, fruit trays, appetizers, and assorted snacks. There’s also a real meal service vibe, with the chef handling presentation and plating—not just handing out food from a cooler.
And yes, celebrations are a real thing here. In the past, the crew has surprised groups with birthday cake and birthday balloons with a name. That tells you the culture: they’re paying attention to details and making the yacht feel like a special occasion, not just transportation.
Music, Vibes, and Space: Turning a Cruise Into a Celebration

A day on a yacht can either feel stiff or feel like your own party. This one leans toward fun. The experience description includes a sound system, and the vibe people talk about is “we danced and had a great time,” not “we stared at the horizon in polite silence.”
The sound system and open-bar setup are a strong pair. When drinks are flowing and the music is right, people stop worrying about what to do next. You’ll feel that shift fast once you’re on the water.
Space helps too. With room to spread out and a smooth ride, it doesn’t feel like a crowded boat where everyone bumps elbows. For a group, that matters more than you think. Even the best itinerary gets ruined if you’re shoulder to shoulder.
Getting There and Settling In: Marina Timing and Pickup

You’re boarding at the marina in Cabo San Lucas Centro (23453). If you’re using public transport, that area is convenient since it’s near public transportation.
Pickup is offered, which is handy if you don’t want to fight Cabo traffic or parking. If you’re traveling with people who hate getting “last mile” details wrong, pickup takes pressure off.
You’ll also get a mobile ticket, which is one less paper thing to juggle. Confirmation comes within 48 hours of booking, subject to availability, so you can lock in plans without a long wait.
Also, practical safety note: service animals are allowed, and most people can participate. If you’re planning around mobility or medical needs, you’ll still want to ask the provider, since the water activities depend on the day’s conditions.
What to Pack for a Yacht Day in Cabo
Yacht days are simple, but you’ll enjoy it more if you show up ready.
Bring:
- Sunscreen (and reapply time)
- A hat and sunglasses
- Swimwear and a light cover-up for deck time
- Water shoes if you like a bit of grip for stepping around (especially for water toys)
- Towel if you prefer your own, though you might find gear provided—data here doesn’t specify, so I’d plan to bring your own just in case
- A dry bag or waterproof pouch for phone and essentials
- A light layer for later if you run cool when the sun drops
Also, since it’s open bar, you’ll want to pace yourself if snorkeling is on the menu for you. The best days are fun days, not “we should have slowed down” days.
Who This Yacht Rental Is Best For
This works well if you want a mix of:
- Ocean scenery near the Cabo arch
- Real water time (snorkeling plus toys)
- Food and drinks included without constant decision-making
- A group-friendly setup for up to 10 people
It’s also ideal for:
- Birthdays and special events, based on past onboard surprises
- Couples who want privacy but don’t want to book a “one person” private charter (since price is per group)
- Friend groups who want music, laughter, and structured fun without feeling organized to death
If you want a quiet, guided nature lecture and zero party energy, this may not be your vibe. But if you want a Cabo day that actually feels like Cabo, this is a strong match.
Should You Book Olivia Grace?
Book it if you’re craving an all-in-one Cabo day: open bar, a seafood-focused menu, and enough water fun to keep everyone busy. The crew and attention to detail are clearly part of the value, and the included tools (paddleboards, Lillypad, snorkeling time) make it feel active, not just scenic.
Skip or ask more questions first if:
- You’re tightly planning around water activities and can’t handle weather changes.
- Your group has very specific food needs—though dietary restrictions are supported, it’s still smart to confirm menu options early.
If you’re flexible and you want the Cabo yacht day to feel like a real event, Olivia Grace is the kind of booking you’ll remember when normal vacations start feeling… ordinary.
