Number Juan 100ft Yacht Azimut Rental

The Number Juan turns a Cabo day on the water into a private floating party, with a chef preparing meals, a bartender pouring cocktails, and a crew handling the small details. You can cruise the Sea of Cortez, stop for swimming, and use kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear, and a Sea Bob.

I like the easy resort pickup and the unusually complete setup. A four-bedroom, 100-foot yacht gives your group room to spread out, while crew members Alex, Diego, Lupita, Letty, Saul, and Captain Gabby have all been singled out for friendly service, smooth sailing, and careful attention. The main drawback is the price: at $4,925 per group, this makes sense for a celebration or large party, not a casual afternoon for two.

Key points to know before booking

• A 100-foot yacht with four bedrooms: You get far more than a simple sightseeing boat, including indoor space for relaxing and changing.
• Chef Saul’s custom meals: Menus can include local seafood and fresh ingredients, with adjustments for food allergies and dietary restrictions.
• A full service crew: Alex and Diego handle guest care, Lupita and Letty serve drinks, Saul cooks, and Captain Gabby operates the yacht.
• Water time is built in: Kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel equipment, a swim mat, and a Sea Bob are available.
• Pickup from your resort or villa: Transportation is arranged to the marina, then you return to the same meeting point after the cruise.
• Best for groups and celebrations: The flat group price can work well for a birthday, wedding gathering, or family outing, but confirm the permitted headcount before paying.

What a day aboard Number Juan feels like

This is not a basic harbor cruise with a guide pointing at the shore. Number Juan is set up as a private yacht charter, so your group has the boat, crew, food, drinks, and water equipment arranged around you.

The yacht has four bedrooms, which matters more than it may sound. You can get out of the sun, change clothes, rest during a longer charter, or give children and older family members a quieter place to sit. A 100-foot boat also gives you several ways to spend the day. You might stay near the main seating area for conversation, move outside for the views, or head toward the water when the crew sets out the toys.

The atmosphere can be as lively or as relaxed as your group wants. Music is part of the experience, and the crew can help create a party mood for a birthday or post-wedding gathering. For a family group, the same boat can work at a gentler pace, with swimming and food taking priority over loud music.

The staff is a major part of the value. Alex and Diego are identified as key hosts, with Alex speaking English and helping keep the day organized. Lupita and Letty handle drinks, while Saul prepares the food. Captain Gabby operates the yacht. That division of work means you are not left trying to figure out where equipment is stored, how to order lunch, or what to do next.

Small touches also matter on a luxury charter. Diego has been praised for repeatedly cleaning sunglasses, an amusingly specific service that tells you something about the crew’s attention to detail. You are paying for staff who notice what you need before you ask, not just for a large boat.

From resort pickup to the Cabo marina

Pickup is available from your resort or villa, and the activity begins at the marina in Cabo San Lucas. Transportation is useful here because it removes one piece of planning from a day that already involves timing, food, drinks, swimming, and equipment.

The boat returns to the same meeting point at the end. Since the charter can run from about three hours to a full day, confirm the exact start and finish times before booking. A four-hour cruise, such as an afternoon from 3 to 7, gives you enough time to settle in, eat, enjoy the views, and spend time in the water without turning the entire day into a boat outing.

The marina start also makes the first moments simple. Once you board, the crew can explain the plan, point out the safety equipment, and help you get comfortable. Champagne has been served at boarding for some groups, though you should confirm the exact welcome arrangement for your reservation rather than assume it is included every time.

Cruising the Sea of Cortez and Cabo’s coast

The main cruise is flexible, which is one of the strengths of a private charter. You are not tied to a fixed public-tour schedule or a long list of formal stops. The boat can spend time cruising along the Cabo coast, heading toward the Sea of Cortez, or taking a longer route between San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas when the charter length and conditions allow.

The scenery is the reason to keep part of your time underway. Cabo’s coast is best enjoyed from the water, where the cliffs, beaches, and rock formations form a broad view instead of a single lookout. Keep your camera ready, but do not spend the whole trip behind it. The point of a yacht charter is to enjoy the moving view, the breeze, and the space around you.

A longer route can also bring wildlife sightings. Whales have been seen during a cruise between San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas, but wildlife is never guaranteed, and the available route depends on weather and the captain’s judgment.

Captain Gabby’s smooth handling is especially valuable on a 100-foot yacht. A large boat feels impressive, but the captain still has to manage the vessel, the route, and the conditions while guests move around and use the water equipment. You can enjoy the ride without treating the boat like an amusement park.

Swimming, paddleboards, kayaks, and the Sea Bob

Water time is where Number Juan becomes more than a sightseeing charter. The boat carries kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear, a swim mat, and a Sea Bob. You can swim from the yacht, paddle near it, float on the mat, or use the equipment to add some activity to an otherwise restful day.

Paddleboards are a good choice if you want light exercise and a different view of the boat. Kayaks offer another way to move around at the water stop. Snorkel gear is available, although the quality of visibility and marine life depends on the location and conditions on the day.

The Sea Bob is the most unusual item in the equipment list. It is designed for powered movement through the water, so ask the crew for an explanation and safety instructions before using it. You should also follow the crew’s guidance on where and when each item can be used.

Safety supervision has been part of the service during swimming stops. That is reassuring for a mixed-age group, especially when children or less confident swimmers are aboard. Still, a yacht charter is not a substitute for personal caution. Pay attention to the crew briefing, use the equipment as directed, and tell the staff if you are uncomfortable in the water.

The water stop may be the highlight for active adults and older children. It may be less appealing to anyone who dislikes swimming, gets cold easily, or prefers a dry sightseeing cruise. The good news is that the yacht gives non-swimmers somewhere comfortable to stay while others use the equipment.

Chef Saul’s menu and the open bar

Food is included, and the meal is more ambitious than the usual packaged boat lunch. Chef Saul prepares a menu using local seafood and fresh ingredients, with options planned in advance with your group. Past menus have included fajitas, sushi, guacamole, and other dishes, with enough food to serve a large party and leave extra portions.

That planning step is important. Tell the charter company about allergies, dietary restrictions, dislikes, and the type of meal you want before the cruise. The menu can be adjusted, but the crew needs that information ahead of time. If your group includes children, older adults, vegetarians, or people with serious allergies, be specific rather than simply asking for a general special menu.

The open bar features Number Juan tequila, described as an award-winning brand, along with cocktails and other drinks. Lupita and Letty manage the bar, so you can order rather than prepare drinks yourself. This is a real part of the cost value, especially for a group that would otherwise spend heavily on restaurant meals and drinks in Cabo.

Still, an open bar can shape the mood of the day. Pace yourself, drink water, and let the crew know what you want. The boat is meant to be fun, not a contest. Families with children can ask about nonalcoholic choices when arranging the menu and drinks.

Food and beverage service also saves time. Instead of leaving the boat to find lunch, you can eat while the yacht is underway or after a swim. That lets a three- or four-hour charter feel full without rushing from one activity to the next.

How the crew shapes the experience

The crew is not background decoration. On a private yacht, service determines whether the day feels calm or chaotic.

Alex has been described as a strong English-speaking host who explains the plan and checks that everyone is included. Diego helps with guest care and water activities. Lupita and Letty keep drinks moving, while Saul handles the cooking. Captain Gabby provides the steady hand at the helm.

That staffing level is useful for larger parties. On a yacht with swimming, meals, cocktails, music, and several pieces of water equipment, one person cannot manage everything well. Separate roles help the day keep its rhythm.

The crew also appears comfortable with special occasions. Customized balloons and a customized cake have been arranged for birthday groups, and the boat has been used for post-wedding celebrations. Ask about these extras before booking, since they may require advance planning and may not be part of the base price.

There is a practical point here: tell the company what matters most to your group. If you want a quiet cruise, a sunset meal, serious snorkeling time, or a birthday presentation, say so during the planning process. The experience is private, so the crew can respond to your priorities more easily than a public tour can.

Is $4,925 a good value?

The advertised price is $4,925 per group of up to 10 people. That is a large total, but it includes the yacht, crew, chef, bartender, food, open bar, water equipment, and transportation pickup from your resort or villa.

For 10 people, the base cost works out to about $492.50 per person. That is before considering how much you might otherwise spend on a private boat, restaurant meals, cocktails, taxis, and equipment rentals. If you have a special occasion and want a single organized package, the price can be reasonable.

The value gets weaker for a small group. Two or four people would be paying for a large yacht and full staffing without spreading the cost across enough people. This is best viewed as a private event space on the water, not as an inexpensive excursion.

There is also a headcount detail you should clarify. The main booking information specifies up to 10 people, while larger groups have apparently used the yacht in the past. Do not assume that 12 or more people are allowed under your reservation. Ask the company for the legal and operational capacity, the price for additional people, and how the group will be arranged before you commit.

Who should book Number Juan?

I would consider this charter for a group that wants privacy, strong service, and a full day built around one occasion. It suits milestone birthdays, wedding-related celebrations, family reunions, and groups that want a boat without having to organize food and drinks separately.

It is also a good match for a mixed-age group. Children can swim and use the water toys, adults can enjoy the bar and food, and older family members can remain aboard in comfort. The four bedrooms provide useful space during a longer outing.

I would think twice if your priority is a low-cost tour, a tightly scheduled sightseeing itinerary, or a serious snorkeling expedition. The route is flexible rather than built around a long list of named stops, and the boat’s main appeal is the complete private experience.

Book as early as you can if your dates are fixed. The average booking lead time is about 16 days, and confirmation is issued within 48 hours, subject to availability. The cancellation policy allows a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours before the start time. Within 24 hours, you will not receive a refund, and poor weather can lead to a new date or a full refund.

Should you book Number Juan?

Book it if you want a private Cabo celebration where the hard work is already handled. The chef, open bar, crew, bedrooms, water toys, and resort pickup make this far more than a boat ride. The strongest reason to choose it is the combination of personal service and flexibility: you can eat, swim, cruise, relax, and celebrate without sharing the boat with strangers.

Skip it if the price is difficult to divide among your group or if you mainly want a short, inexpensive view of Cabo from the water. Before paying, confirm the exact passenger count, charter length, menu, pickup time, and special requests. For the right group, Number Juan can turn one Cabo afternoon into the main event of the trip.
