Number Juan 100ft Yacht Azimut Rental

The Number Juan turns a Cabo outing into a private floating celebration, with a 100-foot Azimut yacht, a full crew, a chef, and water toys waiting offshore. You can cruise the Sea of Cortez, stop for a swim, and let the crew handle the drinks, food, music, and cleanup.

I especially like the custom menu, which can include local seafood and can be adjusted for allergies or dietary restrictions. I also like the practical luxury of the included water gear, from kayaks and paddleboards to snorkel equipment and a Sea Bob. The main consideration is price: at $4,925 per group, this makes the most sense when shared by a larger party.

The Number Juan is best for a milestone birthday, post-wedding gathering, family celebration, or a group that wants a private day on the water rather than a standard shared cruise. Confirm the final guest limit carefully, since the advertised capacity is up to 10 people, while some past parties described onboard were larger.

Key points before you book

• A 100-foot Azimut yacht: You get four bedrooms, dedicated staff, and a spacious private setting rather than a basic sightseeing boat.
• Chef Saul and a custom meal: Menus can be planned ahead, with seafood, sushi, fajitas, guacamole, and other fresh dishes mentioned as examples.
• Alex, Diego, Lupita, Letty, and Captain Gabby: The crew handles hosting, drinks, service, safety, and navigation, with English-language support available.
• Water time is part of the experience: Paddleboards, kayaks, snorkel gear, a Sea Bob, and swim mats give you more to do than simply sit on deck.
• Resort or villa pickup: Transportation is offered to the marina, then the yacht returns to the same meeting point.
• Flexible duration: You can book from about three hours to a full day, with four hours often fitting a celebration nicely.

Boarding the Number Juan at Cabo Marina

Your outing begins at the marina in Cabo San Lucas. Pickup is available from your resort or villa, which saves you from arranging a separate taxi and makes a group departure much easier.

The boat returns to the same meeting point at the end. That simple setup matters when you are organizing a birthday party or family group, since nobody has to figure out a second pickup location after drinks and swimming.

The first moments set the tone. Champagne has been served on arrival, and the crew takes over quickly. Alex is described as a strong English-speaking host who explains the day and keeps the schedule moving. Diego helps with activities and guest needs, while Lupita and Letty manage the bar.

Do not expect a quiet, formal yacht charter unless you request that mood. The experience is designed to be social and relaxed, with music, cocktails, photo opportunities, and time in the water. You can choose your music, which gives the outing more of a private party feel than a fixed tour.

Cruising the Sea of Cortez toward Cabo’s coastal views

Once underway, the yacht itself becomes part of the attraction. The Number Juan has four bedrooms, generous onboard space, and designated staff. You are not simply renting a boat and handling the details yourself. A captain navigates, a chef prepares food, a bartender keeps drinks moving, and the rest of the crew watches the group.

Captain Gabby has been singled out for smooth handling of the 100-foot yacht. That is useful on a larger vessel, especially for family groups that include children or older adults. The crew’s attention also extends to small comforts, including repeated sunglasses cleaning, a detail that sounds minor until salt spray and sunscreen start to blur your view.

The route is not presented as a strict sightseeing itinerary with fixed named stops. Instead, the cruise can include movement along the Cabo coast, time offshore, and a swim stop. One outing traveled from San José del Cabo to Cabo San Lucas and back, with whales seen along the way. Whale sightings are seasonal and never guaranteed, so treat that as a lucky bonus rather than a promised feature.

Cabo’s coastal scenery is the backdrop, but the focus here is less on a guided geography lesson and more on having your own floating base. You can sit with a drink, take photos, listen to music, or move between the shaded and open areas of the yacht.

A private chef meal built around your group

Food is one of the strongest reasons to consider this charter. A personal chef prepares the meal onboard using local seafood and fresh ingredients, and the menu is planned with you after booking.

That planning step is important. If your group includes vegetarians, people with allergies, or guests with specific dietary restrictions, you should provide those details early. The experience specifically allows menu adjustments, and a custom plan is far more useful than hoping a standard buffet will work for everyone.

Past menus have included sushi, fajitas, guacamole, and other dishes, with enough food left over to feed a group comfortably. Those examples suggest a menu that can shift between light seafood, casual Mexican-style plates, and a more substantial meal. The exact choices depend on the options available when you plan your charter.

Chef Saul receives especially strong praise for preparing generous, flavorful meals. The food is not an afterthought between water activities. It is one of the main services included in the price.

For timing, think about how your group eats. A three-hour charter may leave limited room for a full meal, a swim, cruising, and sunset photos. A four-hour outing, such as a 3 to 7 p.m. schedule, gives you a more comfortable rhythm: board, settle in, eat, swim, and finish with changing light along the coast.

Drinks, music, and the staff’s small details

The open bar features Number Juan tequila, described as an award-winning tequila brand, along with cocktails prepared by the onboard bartender. Lupita and Letty are named as the bartenders who keep service moving.

This is useful for a group because nobody needs to bring a cooler, count bottles, or interrupt the day to find a drink. You can also ask the crew for help with service instead of leaving one member of your party responsible for everyone else.

The bar is a major part of the value, but it also affects how you should plan the day. Eat properly, use the water activities carefully, and listen to the crew’s safety instructions. The crew supervises swimming and water activities, which is reassuring, but supervision is not a substitute for sensible behavior around the water.

Music is another flexible element. You can choose what plays onboard, so the mood can range from a family afternoon to a birthday party or post-wedding celebration. If your group has mixed ages, agree on the general tone before boarding. A playlist that works for a late-night party may not suit a group ranging from young children to older adults.

Swimming and water toys off the yacht

The Number Juan includes a useful lineup of water equipment:

• Paddleboards
• Kayaks
• Snorkel gear
• A Sea Bob
• Swim mats

This changes the outing from a scenic cruise into a more active half-day on the water. Paddleboards and kayaks suit people who want to move around, while the mats offer an easier way to float and relax. Snorkel gear gives you the option to look below the surface, though the quality of marine life and water conditions will depend on the stop and the weather.

The Sea Bob is an unusual extra. It lets you move through the water with less effort than swimming, although the crew will manage how and when it is used. Ask for a clear explanation before getting in.

The swim stop is also where the professional crew matters most. The onboard team supervises guests in the water, helps with equipment, and keeps an eye on the group. Several specific staff members are praised for being attentive without hovering, which is the right balance for a private charter.

Bring a swimsuit, sun protection, and a dry change of clothes. The supplied information does not specify towel arrangements, so ask the operator what is provided before you go. You should also confirm any age or use rules for the Sea Bob and other equipment, especially when children are in your party.

How long should you book?

The advertised duration ranges from about three hours to a full day. That is a wide choice, and the right length depends on your goal.

A three-hour charter works for a quick celebration, a sunset cruise, or a group that mainly wants drinks and coastal views. It may feel rushed if you want a full meal plus extensive time in the water.

Four hours is a sensible middle choice. It allows time to board, cruise, eat, swim, use the water toys, and take photos without forcing every activity into a tight schedule. A late-afternoon departure can also bring changing light and sunset views.

A full-day charter makes more sense for a group that wants a relaxed schedule and longer time offshore. The supplied details do not list a specific full-day route, so ask exactly how the operator structures the longer option. The route, swim locations, meal timing, and return time should be clear before you pay.

What $4,925 means for a group

The listed price is $4,925 per group, for up to 10 people. That works out to about $492.50 per person for 10 guests, before considering any separate personal spending or transportation details.

That is not an inexpensive boat ride. It is a private yacht charter with a chef, bartender, open bar, professional crew, multiple bedrooms, transportation pickup, and water equipment. If you would otherwise pay separately for a meal, drinks, a boat tour, and water activities, the package becomes easier to justify.

The value improves when you fill the boat. A couple or small family may find the total hard to defend unless the privacy and occasion are central to the trip. A birthday group, wedding party, or extended family can spread the cost across several people and gain a private setting that shared cruises do not provide.

Check the capacity before booking. The stated limit is up to 10 people, yet some celebrations described onboard involved 12 or even 25 people. Those numbers may reflect different arrangements or charter terms, but you should not assume a larger party is accepted. Get the permitted group size and final price in writing.

Pickup also adds practical value. Resort or villa transportation means fewer coordination problems, especially if your group is staying in more than one place. The pickup details should still be confirmed with the operator after booking.

Who will get the most from this charter?

I would choose the Number Juan for a group that values service, privacy, and a flexible day more than the lowest possible price. It is particularly well suited to:

• Milestone birthdays
• Post-wedding celebrations
• Family groups with several age ranges
• Friends who want swimming and paddleboarding
• Groups that care about a planned meal
• People who prefer a private boat over a shared excursion

The four bedrooms also make the yacht feel more like a private base for a longer charter, even if you do not use them as sleeping quarters. They offer another place to change, rest, or get out of the sun.

Families should appreciate the crew’s attention and the range of activities, but the boat is still a water-based experience. Follow the safety instructions and keep a close eye on children. The operator states that most people can participate, and service animals are allowed. The activity is near public transportation, though the offered resort pickup is likely more convenient for most groups.

This is less suitable if you want a short, low-cost sightseeing ride, a detailed guided tour of Cabo’s history, or a tightly scripted list of stops. The emphasis is on your group’s private time, not on a lecture or a standard route.

Booking, weather, and cancellation details

Confirmation is sent within 48 hours of booking, subject to availability. Since the charter is often booked about 16 days ahead, I would not leave a celebration to the last few days, especially if you need a particular date or a custom menu.

Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Within 24 hours, cancellations and changes are not accepted for a refund.

The experience requires good weather. If poor weather forces cancellation, you are offered another date or a full refund. That policy protects you from losing the entire payment to conditions outside your control, but you should still keep some flexibility in your Cabo schedule.

Should you book the Number Juan?

Book it if you have a group large enough to share the cost and you want a polished private celebration with food, cocktails, crew service, and time in the water. The combination of chef Saul’s meal, Alex’s hosting, the bartenders’ attention, and Captain Gabby’s smooth navigation gives the day a clear service focus.

I would be more cautious if your group is small, your budget is tight, or you mainly want a quick view of Cabo from the water. In that case, a shared cruise or shorter boat trip may offer better value.

Before committing, confirm four things: the allowed number of people, the exact charter length, the custom menu, and what happens if your preferred date is unavailable. If those details fit your plans, the Number Juan offers a very easy way to turn a Cabo celebration into a full day out, without making one person in the group organize every drink, meal, transfer, and activity.
