Number Juan 100ft Yacht Azimut Rental
The best part of the Number Juan yacht charter is that your day can be shaped around your group. You get a 100-foot Azimut, a private crew, a chef, an open bar, and water gear, all starting from Cabo San Lucas Marina. A cruise might focus on food and views, or spend more time swimming and using the toys.
I like the custom menu, which can cover seafood, sushi, fajitas, fresh guacamole, allergies, and other dietary needs. I also like the attentive crew setup. Alex, Diego, Lupita, Letty, Saul, and Captain Gabby are named as part of the team, with separate people handling hosting, drinks, cooking, and navigation.
The main consideration is price: $4,925 per group of up to 10 is a serious splurge, especially for a short charter. The value improves when you fill the boat, but the advertised capacity and some past group sizes do not match perfectly, so confirm your exact party size and charter length before paying.

Key points about the Number Juan

- A 100-foot Azimut yacht: You have room to spread out, with four bedrooms and dedicated crew service.
- A real private-chef experience: The menu is planned with you in advance, and dietary restrictions can be handled.
- Number Juan tequila and open bar: Cocktails are prepared throughout the cruise by a personal bartender.
- Water time is built in: Kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear, and a Sea Bob are included.
- Hotel or villa pickup: Transportation can collect you before the yacht departs from Cabo Marina.
- Flexible timing: Charters run from about three hours to a full day, depending on the booking.
Boarding the Number Juan at Cabo Marina

Your outing begins at the marina in Cabo San Lucas, though the operator can arrange pickup at your resort or villa. That is useful in Cabo, where a private vehicle removes one more piece of planning from an expensive day.
At the marina, the Number Juan serves as both transport and destination. You are not joining a standard sightseeing boat with a fixed script. This is a private charter, so your group has more say in the pace, music, food, and time spent in the water.
The boat is a 100-foot Azimut with four bedrooms. The bedrooms matter less on a short afternoon cruise, but they become more useful if you book a longer charter or want space for changing, resting, or keeping belongings out of the main seating areas.
The crew is a large part of the experience. Alex is described as the host who keeps the day organized and speaks English well. Diego handles guest care and activity support, while Lupita and Letty work the drinks. Chef Saul prepares the food, and Captain Gabby handles the boat.
That division of work gives you a sense of why this costs more than a basic boat rental. You are not expected to bring supplies, mix drinks, watch the clock, or manage every detail yourself.

Planning the menu with Chef Saul

Food is one of the strongest reasons to consider this charter. Before departure, you work with the company to select a menu from the available options. Local seafood and fresh ingredients are central to the offering, and the kitchen can address food allergies or dietary restrictions when you provide the details ahead of time.
The food described from the boat includes sushi, fajitas, guacamole, dinner dishes, and other fresh preparations. One especially practical detail is portion size. A meal prepared for a group of 12 was reported to leave plenty of food, so you should not expect a token snack plate.
Still, do not treat the listed food examples as a guaranteed menu. Your final choices depend on what you arrange during booking. If someone in your group has an allergy, state it clearly before the cruise and confirm how it will be handled.
The chef service changes the rhythm of the day. You can eat while cruising, pause for a meal after swimming, or make food part of a sunset celebration. A four-hour afternoon-to-evening cruise, from 3 to 7 p.m., has been used for birthday celebrations and offers a useful model: enough time for a meal, water activities, and changing views without taking up the entire day.
Number Juan tequila and the open bar

The open bar includes the boat’s namesake, Number Juan tequila, described as an award-winning brand. The bartender prepares cocktails throughout the cruise, so you can settle into the boat without buying drinks one at a time or bringing your own supply.
Lupita and Letty are named as the bartenders, and the service includes more than simply setting bottles on a counter. The crew keeps drinks moving and checks what you want as the day continues.
That convenience also calls for a little judgment. A yacht day with sun, swimming, and alcohol can catch up with you quickly. Drink water, pace yourself, and remember that you may be stepping onto paddleboards or swimming from the boat later.
The bar is a major part of the celebration value. For a birthday, post-wedding gathering, or family event, drinks are already part of the setting. For a group that rarely drinks alcohol, the package may feel less useful, so consider how much of the price is tied to the bar and chef service.
Cruising the Cabo coast and Sea of Cortez

The exact route is not fixed in the information provided, which is normal for a private charter. One past outing traveled between San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas, with whales seen along the way. That sighting is a fortunate possibility, not something you should book as a guarantee.
Your view is the main scenery of the day: Cabo’s coast, open water, and the changing light near sunset. The boat can be a pleasant choice if your group wants to talk, listen to music, take photos, and enjoy the view without a crowded deck.
Music can be selected by your group, adding to the private-party feel. The crew also helps with photo opportunities. Diego is singled out for cleaning sunglasses, a small service that becomes surprisingly useful around saltwater and spray.
I would not book this as a tightly programmed sightseeing tour. If you want a guaranteed list of landmarks and exact stop times, ask the operator for the route before booking. The strength here is flexibility, not a fixed set of narrated stops.

Swimming, paddleboards, kayaks, and the Sea Bob

Water time gives the charter more shape than simply cruising with drinks. The included equipment consists of kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear, and a Sea Bob. Past use also includes a floating water mat, though you should confirm which equipment will be available for your specific departure.
The crew supervises people in the water, which is important for families and mixed-age groups. One party included children as young as six and adults as old as 85, with everyone able to take part in the day. That does not mean every activity suits every person, but it does suggest the boat can work for a broad age range when people choose their own level of activity.
You can swim, use the paddleboards, relax on the mat, or stay aboard. That choice matters. Not everyone wants to jump into the sea, and a private yacht lets non-swimmers remain comfortable without forcing the entire group to follow one plan.
The water conditions and weather will affect how much use you get from the equipment. The company states that the activity requires good weather. If poor conditions cancel the trip, you can select another date or receive a full refund.
Celebrations, families, and group size

The Number Juan is best suited to a group marking something important or a group that wants a private day at sea without splitting up. Birthdays, post-wedding celebrations, family occasions, and milestone dinners all fit the format.
The listed price is $4,925 per group of up to 10. At a full group, that works out to about $492.50 per person before any additional booking details. With five people, the same group price becomes $985 per person, so group size has a major effect on value.
The supplied booking details say up to 10 people, while past use has included larger parties. Do not assume a larger group will be accepted simply because the yacht is 100 feet long. Confirm the permitted number, seating plan, and any extra charge before you finalize your plans.
For a smaller group, the boat can still make sense if privacy, a private chef, and a high level of service matter more than the lowest possible price. If you mainly want a quick swim and a few coastal photos, a shorter and less expensive boat trip may fit better.
What the crew service feels like

The crew’s strongest role is constant attention without making you organize the day. Alex helps keep the schedule on track. Diego supports activities and general service. Lupita and Letty handle drinks, while Saul prepares the food and Captain Gabby keeps the yacht moving smoothly.
That staffing level is unusual for a basic private rental. You can ask for a drink, move toward the water activities, sit down for food, or take photos without one person trying to do every job at once.
The service also appears family-friendly in practical ways. Safety instructions are given, people in the water are watched, and the crew keeps the boat tidy. Sunglasses are cleaned, drinks are refreshed, and food restrictions are considered.
This is still a luxury charter, not a quiet sailing lesson. Music, cocktails, and social celebrations are part of the appeal. If your ideal day is calm, silent, and focused on sailing technique, you may find the atmosphere too service-oriented and party-ready.
Choosing between three hours and a full day

The experience is offered for roughly three hours to one day. Three hours is enough for a taste of the boat, a meal or drinks, and some time in the water. It is also the least demanding option if your Cabo schedule is tight.
A four-hour charter may be the sweet spot for many groups. It gives you room to cruise, eat, swim, take photos, and catch late-day light without committing an entire day. The 3 to 7 p.m. format is particularly useful for a celebration.
A full-day booking makes more sense if you want a slower pace and more time with the water equipment. It also gives the chef and crew more time to make the yacht feel like your base for the day rather than a short outing.
The supplied information does not give a separate price for each duration. Ask for the exact total, start time, route, menu, and included equipment for your chosen length. The word approximately in the timing means you should not build a tight connection around the return time.
Booking, cancellation, and practical details
Confirmation is sent within 48 hours of booking, subject to availability. Since the yacht is commonly reserved about 16 days ahead, I would not wait until the last minute for a birthday, wedding-related event, or holiday date.
The activity is offered in English, and mobile tickets are available. Service animals are allowed, and the meeting point is near public transportation, though resort or villa pickup is also offered.
Most people can participate, but the water activities require personal comfort and ability in the sea. If your group includes young children, older adults, or anyone with mobility or medical concerns, explain your needs before booking so the operator can clarify what is practical.
Cancellation is free when made at least 24 hours before the start time. Inside that window, the payment is not refunded and changes are not accepted. Cutoff times use local Cabo time. Bad weather is handled differently: the operator offers another date or a full refund if conditions force cancellation.
Should you book the Number Juan?
Book the Number Juan if you want a private Cabo celebration built around food, drinks, attentive service, and time in the water. It is especially strong for a full group of up to 10, families with mixed ages, and anyone who values a chef and bartender as much as the boat itself.
I would choose a four-hour charter for most occasions, then plan the menu carefully and confirm the exact passenger limit. Ask what water gear will be ready, how pickup will work, and what route fits your date.
Skip it if you are seeking the cheapest way to see Cabo from the water. At $4,925 per group, the value comes from privacy, staff, custom food, an open bar, and a 100-foot yacht. If those extras are the point of your day, Number Juan can justify the splurge.
