Types of party boat
Hip-hop & DJ boat parties
The classic Cabo booze cruise: a DJ, unlimited drinks and a young crowd on a big catamaran. High energy, best for groups who want to dance.
Sunset party cruises
The same open-bar formula timed for golden hour, so you get the views and the party. A good middle ground — see our sunset cruises guide for calmer alternatives.
Private party charters
Rent the whole boat for a bachelor/bachelorette or birthday group. More control over music, timing and guest list. See private charters.
Tips for a good time (and a safe one)
- Eat before you board — open bars go fast and snacks are light.
- Bring a small amount of cash for tips and any premium upgrades.
- Reef-safe sunscreen and a hat for daytime cruises; a light layer for after dark.
- Confirm the age policy for everyone in your group before booking.
- Book ahead in high season — the popular boats sell out.
Group tip: For six or more, compare the per-person cost of a shared cruise against a private charter — a private boat is often better value and far more flexible.
