What You Need To Know About Renting A Yacht In Cabo
You’ve decided to spend a day on the water, and what better way to enjoy the sparkling waters of the Sea of Cortez than by renting a yacht. When you’re looking for a charter company, there are only a few things you should be focusing on. You want to make sure the company is reliable, follows through with everything they say and offer, has excellent customer service and will give you your money’s worth!
Don’t start bragging about your weekend excursion just yet! There are a few things to consider when renting a yacht in Cabo San Lucas:
1. The Type of Vessel.
The type and size of the yacht you choose for your vacation is an important consideration. There are yachts available in a wide range of sizes, from under 10 feet to over 200 feet. One of the biggest factors to consider is how big it needs to be to meet your needs at this time. Smaller yachts are more affordable but they also have less amenities – so think about what’s important to you. There are also considerations when it comes to the number of guests you will have on board and how many crew members will be needed to run the yacht efficiently and effectively for you.
2. The Destination.
Choosing a destination will depend on what your yacht is for and what you plan on doing. A good place to start is by finding out where other people have had great experiences or which locations are popular for yachting in general.
3. The Itinerary.
When you’re traveling, there are some things that are planned in advance and some things that aren’t. If you’re headed anywhere in Cabo, you probably have a few destinations in mind. An itinerary can be helpful if you want to make sure to see certain things while you’re in the area. There are sites that offer an itinerary for Los Cabos, or you can create your own.
4. The Menu.Â
For many taking a yacht charter is the first time they have ever been on a boat. Wherever you’re headed to you will want to make sure that the menu is compatible with ALL of your guests. It is important to talk options with your broker ahead of time to discuss what is or isn’t included in the meal preparation and win over any picky eaters.
5. Wardrobe.
When renting a yacht in Cabo, it’s important to stay flexible. Your budget and schedule depend on it! While some things are necessary in any situation (sunscreen, flip-flops), others can be tailored specifically to your needs. Consider keeping an extra pair of shoes on hand, as well as a jacket or sweater.
You want to be able to relax on your day off and enjoy the company of those you’re with, so do your research before contracting a rental yacht. You will be looking for customer service, price (at a level to suit your needs) and reliability. A reliable concierge team should ensure that you are easily able to contact them in case of an emergency or if you have any questions prior to or on the day of your trip. Also, don’t forget your sunscreen!
