Olivia Grace 60 ft British Princess Yacht Rental

The Olivia Grace gives you something a standard boat outing cannot: a private 60-foot yacht with your own captain, crew, bartender, chef-planned menu, and room for up to 10 people. You can cruise from Cabo San Lucas, stop for snorkeling or a swim, and use the paddleboards and floating water toys without sharing the boat with a large crowd.

I like the thoughtful food planning, especially if your group has allergies or dietary needs. I also like the small-group format and the personal service, which has earned this experience a 5.0 rating from 118 reviews and a 99% recommendation rate. The main caution is the price: $2,499 per group is a serious outlay, and one guest reported that the boat pictured did not match the yacht provided.

Key points at a glance

• Private charter for up to 10 people: The $2,499 rate covers the group, not each individual.
• Five staterooms onboard: The yacht has space beyond the deck, though the rental is best understood as a day on the water rather than an overnight stay.
• Chef-planned local menu: Seafood and other local ingredients are selected with you before departure.
• Personal bartender and open bar: Drinks are included, along with welcome beverages and boat drinks during the cruise.
• Cabo Arch and water play: Snorkeling, paddleboards, and a lily pad-style floating mat are part of the possible fun.
• Flexible length: Bookings run from about 3 hours to a full day, depending on the arrangement.

What a private day on the Olivia Grace feels like

You meet the yacht at the marina in Centro, Cabo San Lucas. From there, the day is built around your group rather than a fixed bus tour schedule. That matters if one person wants to swim, another wants lunch in the shade, and someone else mainly wants music, drinks, and views from the deck.

The boat comes with a captain and designated staff. You also have a personal bartender, an open bar, and a food menu planned with the charter team before departure. The service is designed to feel polished without forcing you into a formal routine. You can spend time talking with the crew, settle into the ride, or ask for help with the water equipment.

The exact route depends on the length of your booking and the conditions that day. The available details point to Cabo’s famous Arch, time in the water, and a relaxed cruise along the coast. Do not expect a rigid list of sightseeing stops. This is a private boat day where the pleasure comes from choosing how to use your time.

Starting at Cabo San Lucas Marina

The listed meeting point is Cabo San Lucas, Centro, Marina, 23453 Cabo San Lucas, BCS, Mexico. The activity returns to the same place, which makes planning easier if you are staying near central Cabo or arriving by local transport.

Pickup is offered, but you should confirm the exact arrangement when your booking is accepted. The reservation confirmation arrives within 48 hours, subject to availability. Since the charter is often reserved about 46 days ahead, I would not leave a birthday, family outing, or vacation finale until the last minute.

A marina departure also gives you a practical start. You can arrive with your group, meet the crew, and get settled before the yacht heads out. Service is offered in English. Service animals are allowed, and the meeting point is near public transportation.

The Cabo Arch and the best part of the cruise

The Cabo Arch is the natural centerpiece of a yacht outing from Cabo. It gives you a memorable setting for photographs and helps turn a simple boat ride into a proper coastal excursion. The surrounding rock formations and open sea are best enjoyed from the water, where the views change as the yacht moves.

Your boat time is not only about looking at the Arch. The schedule can include swimming and snorkeling, depending on conditions and the plan for your group. One outing included time in the water, paddleboarding, and a floating lily pad. That combination works well for mixed ages because you can be active for a while, then return to the deck for food and drinks.

The sensible approach is to treat the Arch and water activities as the day’s main outdoor moments, not guaranteed minute-by-minute stops. The charter requires good weather. Wind, waves, or other conditions can affect how long you stay in the water and which activities are comfortable.

Swimming, snorkeling, and onboard water toys

The Olivia Grace carries paddleboards and other water toys, including a lily pad-style floating platform. These extras make the charter more than a scenic cruise. You can jump in, paddle, float, and then climb back aboard for lunch or a drink.

Snorkeling is also part of the experience. The supplied details do not specify a particular reef, cove, or snorkeling time, so you should ask the charter team what conditions and locations are expected for your date. Water visibility and comfort can change, especially when weather affects the sea.

I like the fact that the equipment is included rather than treated as a separate add-on. That keeps the day simple and lets your group decide how active it wants to be. Still, not everyone needs to use the toys. If you have non-swimmers or people who prefer the deck, the yacht has enough room for them to enjoy the outing without getting wet.

Food that is planned before you sail

Food is one of the stronger reasons to consider this charter for a celebration or long half-day outing. The menu uses local seafood and other local ingredients, and you work with the team to select options before the trip. The provider also offers choices for food allergies and dietary restrictions.

That advance planning is useful. On a shared excursion, you often accept whatever meal appears at the scheduled time. Here, your group can discuss preferences ahead of departure. You should give clear information about allergies and restrictions when you book, rather than waiting until you board.

The food examples reported from the outings show a flexible rather than rigid menu. One group had a beautifully presented birthday cake, appetizers, fruit, and a chef-prepared meal. Another had club sandwiches, fruit, and snacks. That tells me the food can suit different types of charter, from a casual afternoon to a special celebration.

Do not assume every booking receives the same dishes. The menu is planned with you, and the final selection matters. If an impressive meal is a major reason for booking, ask what is available for your date, how the menu works, and whether a cake or special presentation can be arranged.

Open bar, music, and the celebration factor

The personal bartender and open bar make this an easy choice for a birthday, anniversary, reunion, or group vacation. Welcome drinks are provided, and the bar service continues as the day unfolds. You do not have to keep ordering individual drinks or organize a cooler for the boat.

One birthday outing included balloons with the celebrant’s name and a cake. That sort of detail can make a private charter feel personal rather than merely expensive. If you are marking an occasion, tell the team before departure and ask what decorations or desserts can be arranged.

Music is another part of the atmosphere. The yacht has a sound system, and one group used it to dance during the cruise. The key advantage is control: your group can create its own mood. The sensible limit is consideration for other boats and the crew, even on a private outing.

Alcohol and swimming are not always a perfect mix, so I would plan the day with care. Have your active water time early, follow the crew’s instructions, and enjoy the bar at a sensible pace. The yacht’s staff can help keep the day comfortable and orderly.

What the five staterooms mean for your booking

The Olivia Grace has five staterooms. That gives the yacht a more substantial feel than a simple open-deck boat and provides additional interior space during the day. It may be useful if you need a quiet place, shade, or a break from the sun.

You should not read the stateroom count as proof that overnight accommodation is part of this booking. The listed duration is approximately 3 hours to 1 day, and the experience ends back at the marina. The staterooms are best understood as part of the yacht’s comfort and layout for a day charter.

The 60-foot size also matters for group dynamics. Ten people can spread out more comfortably than they could on a small boat, especially when some are eating, some are swimming, and some are relaxing. Even so, a full group of 10 will feel busier than a group of six or eight once food, bags, and water equipment are in use.

Crew service and the value of private attention

The captain and crew are a central part of the price. Their job includes safe operation, food and drink service, help with water toys, and the small practical tasks that keep a boat day running smoothly. The strongest praise for this experience focuses on the crew’s professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail.

That personal help changes the rhythm of the day. You do not need to prepare lunch, manage the bar, or figure out how to deploy every piece of equipment. You can ask for help, then return to the deck and enjoy the coast.

The service is not completely separate from the boat itself, though. One critical account raised a concern about the yacht pictured not matching the yacht provided, while still praising the staff. That is the one clear warning in the available feedback. Before paying, ask the operator to confirm the exact vessel, current photos, and what equipment will be onboard for your date.

Is $2,499 a fair price for Cabo?

At first glance, $2,499 is a lot for a 3-hour outing. The calculation changes when you fill the boat. With 10 people, the cost is about $249.90 per person. With eight people, it is about $312.38 each. For a smaller group, the per-person price rises quickly.

The rate includes more than transportation. You are paying for a private yacht, captain, designated crew, personal bartender, open bar, food planning, and water toys. The five staterooms and 60-foot boat also offer more space than a basic excursion vessel.

I think the value is strongest when you have a full group and a clear reason to want privacy. A birthday group, family gathering, or reunion can use the boat for food, swimming, music, and sightseeing in one package. If you only want a quick view of the Arch, a less expensive shared cruise may make more sense.

The duration is another important point. The booking can run from around 3 hours to a full day, so ask exactly what your $2,499 arrangement includes. A longer charter spreads the cost across more time and gives you room for lunch, water activities, and a relaxed return. A short booking may feel costly if your main goal is only a photograph at the Arch.

Who should book the Olivia Grace?

I would put this charter high on the list for groups that value privacy, food, and service as much as sightseeing. It suits people who want to set their own pace instead of following a large group from one scheduled stop to the next.

It also works for mixed-age groups. Strong swimmers can use the paddleboards and floating mat, while others can stay on deck, enjoy the food, or take photographs. Families should remember that the sea and water toys still require attention and that the crew’s instructions matter.

The Olivia Grace is less compelling for solo visitors, couples on a tight budget, or anyone who only wants a short boat ride. The flat group rate is designed to be shared among several people. It becomes easier to justify when the group will actually use the bar, menu, deck space, and water equipment.

Booking tips for a smoother day

Reserve well ahead if your dates are fixed, since this charter is commonly booked about 46 days before departure. Confirmation is sent within 48 hours, but it remains subject to availability.

When you arrange the charter, settle these points in writing:

• The exact yacht being provided and its current photographs
• Your preferred duration, from about 3 hours to a full day
• The menu, seafood choices, allergies, and dietary restrictions
• Any birthday cake, balloons, or other special request
• The pickup plan, if you want transport rather than meeting at the marina
• Which water toys and snorkeling equipment are available for your date

The cancellation policy is friendly if your plans are firm. You receive a full refund when you cancel at least 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations or changes inside 24 hours are not refunded or accepted. Poor weather can lead to a different date or a full refund, since the charter requires good conditions.

Should you book the Olivia Grace?

Book it if you have a group of several people, want a private Cabo yacht day, and care about food and attentive service as much as the scenery. The combination of an open bar, chef-planned menu, water toys, snorkeling, and a dedicated crew gives you a full day rather than a short sightseeing run.

I would be more cautious if your group is small or if you are comparing the yacht only with low-cost shared cruises. The $2,499 price needs to be divided among enough people to feel reasonable. Before booking, confirm the exact vessel and menu, since one complaint centered on a mismatch between the pictured boat and the boat supplied.

For a birthday, family outing, or group vacation, the Olivia Grace is a strong choice when privacy matters. Fill the boat, plan the menu, allow time for the water, and you will get the best value from the charter.
