Discover the Cannery Beaches on a private catamaran tour

Book this boat ASAP! Our party was 5 people and we had an absolute blast on this boat, the crew (consisting of Jona, Lorena, Bogar and Gus) were incredible, they made us laugh, they were as excited as us, and we all had so much fun.

The boat is insanely clean and well-maintained. The views were incredible, we popped a bottle of champagne at the arch and then we spotted a whale and followed safely behind it for a bit.

All in all, I would rebook this crew, this boat in an instant and can’t wait to do so on my next trip to Cabo!

Unbelievable time. We had a party of 13. With a mix of adults and kids 6 and under. Everyone has a blast. The crew was super professional.

And the photographer who came a long for the ride did an awesome job of capturing the event.

Will def look to use this service next time we are in Cabo.

If you’re looking for romance in Cabo, look no further than gorgeous Animalon By the Sea!

We have been looking forward to going here, being fans of Chef Javier Plascencia and his excellent restaurants at other locations particularly Animalon in Valle under the 200 year old oak tree.

However, Animalon By the Sea is a unique dining experience and stands on its own — floating on the beautiful Sea of Cortez, with a trip to El Arco, but the highlight is the fresh and wonderful food of its well curated tasting menu! Wont spoil the surprise with photos of the dishes…but each dish was definitely a delight! Service is top notch as expected, with extra thoughtfulness and warmth throughout.

Definitely a memorable experience for our wedding anniversary, highly recommended!

We had the best time on this boat excursion!! 29 people and we had the 9am tour, which we were really late and didn’t arrive until 9:30am. They didn’t rush us, super easy going crew, and very friendly.

We had a wonderful time boating around the bay and checking out the arch before we anchored off to the side. This next part was by far the highlight of the excursion! We got to jump of the 2nd story of the boat and this was a lot of fun, especially for the kids. They also provided a floating mat, SUP, snorkeling gear, floaties, etc. They had a photographer on the boat and you had the option of purchasing all the photos and gopro video – hands down totally worth the price! The photographer was great and captured SO many great images that are priceless.

I can’t recommend this boat tour enough! You definitely will not be disappointed. Side note, Gabriela was such a pleasure to work with and she was very friendly during the planning stage!

My friends and I took the mini boat tour at around 3pm. It was still warm enough to go snorkeling/swimming, but sunset was at 5:30, so bring a jacket or sweater for afterwards!

Danielle and the captain took us on the tour, and they were great! We stopped at a convenience store for some snacks and drinks, visited the arches, and then snorkeled with a ton of fish. The guys had a great time with Danielle as they tried to go deep diving and cliff jumping. She was such a good sport, and we had a blast. We managed to catch the sunset and see some whales too. I’m definitely recommending this tour to friends.

We had a group of 18 people on this trip and it was so nice to have our own boat for our group.

Deck hand / captain were all friendly and sailing around the bay was awesome!

Before we got to ‘lands end’ we were able to see some whales (mom and calf put on ‘a show’ for us! Lot of whale tails and fins in our pictures).

Boat was clean and the water mat, stand-up paddle board along with the times spent at the locations were great. Team was very friendly and happy. Had a wonderful time.

Book it … you wont regret it…so much better than being on a crowded booze cruise with over 60-80 people !!!

This was our second time on the Pelican in the last two months.

Our first one was a day cruise with water activities and snorkeling. The last one was an evening sunset cruise. They were both so amazing!

Our evening cruise was phenomenal – enjoying the arches at sunset, watching the sun go down and then relaxing on the water with all the lights coming from the resorts and marina – we could have stayed there all night. Everyone in our group thought this was the highlight of our trip. Upgrade to the premium bar and food package – it is so worth it! We cannot wait to go back and experience the amazing Pelican and their crew very soon.

Gracias!!

We have a great time with our group of 11. Boat was clean, comfortable and great crew.

We spotted sea turtles and rays as well as our planned trip to the rock formations, and private beach area for swimming, snorkeling and jumping off the top of the boat. The photographer captured some great shots of our whole day.

Highly recommend this boat and crew!

I was so grateful that my friend and I decided last minute to do this dinner because it was such an incredible experience.

The service from start to finish was outstanding and the food was beyond delicious. They even accommodated a couple dietary restrictions that I had. Very impressed with what they are creating in that kitchen. And on a moving boat!

My friend and I decided against the wine pairing (personal choice) and enjoyed their beautiful cocktails instead. We lucked out and had a fairly calm evening at sea and even saw a few whales…I would recommend anyone to do this. Now I just have to go back to try the brunch!

Thank you to the entire Animalón crew for being the highlight of our trip.

We had such a great time! We rented the boat for my sisters bachelorette for 8 people and it was so much fun!

It was big and spacious, better than a yacht!

The captain and the other guy helping on board were so nice and friendly! We brought our own tequila and they were making all our drinks! One of them even got in the water with us and to make sure we were all good and safe. We were running a bit late because the taxi took us to the wrong place but they were nice and accommodating, we had so much fun!

Will definitely be booking again in the future!

Booked this boat for my bachelorette party Leo and Alan were so much fun!

Leo took the most amazing pictures of me and my group! The boat was so nice, fun, and relaxing!

It was also super easy to find! Definitely recommend booking with them!

The boat we originally scheduled was smaller than expected. However, with the BEST customer service from the team they moved our Wedding to a larger boat. They are SO nice, accommodating, incredible customer service, and what a honor and pleasure to work with them.

Thank you for making our special Wedding day on your boat so FANTASTIC.. From the bottom of our hearts Thank You very much for everything. You are truly the best.

If you are in Cabo with a large group, this is a must-do experience. We had 17 people and the boat was perfect.

It was also cheaper than all of the other private and shared public boats (which are super crowded).

It came with two staff members who were incredibly responsive, friendly and easy going and our caption, Mario, was the most fun person of our entire trip. The boat has a cooler for your drinks, bluetooth and great speakers for your music and the guacamole they make is incredible. We got to stop and swim, see the arch, and even see some whales during sunset.

Highly recommend.

We’ve travelled all over the world, and this has to be one of the most exceptional and memorable culinary experiences we’ve ever had!

From the ambience, to live saxophone player, the impeccable “interior” design of the boat and the absolutely delicious food we were blown away by every single detail. Our bellies left beyond full and happy.

The care and attention to detail by the team hosting this experience is top level and we can’t recommend booking. We’re looking forward to coming back next year!

Pro tip: Do wear a longer dress or pants and bring a jacket because it does get cool in the evening!

If you’re looking for a unique dining experience complete with romance, good ambiance, amazing views of the arch, top notch service, and delicious food…look no further than Animalon by the Sea!

My wife and I are big fans of their Valle de Guadalupe location and immediately booked a flight to Cabo when we heard that it had a floating location. Couldn’t have asked for a better backdrop to celebrate our 8th year wedding anniversary.

Definitely a must dining experience in Cabo.

We booked this trip to Cabo for Christmas Eve for a surprise for our boys, ages 11 & 13. We loved the idea of having our own boat, snorkeling and seeing the area from the water.

We hoped we’d get lucky and see a whale or two, boy were we wrong. As we were cruising around the bay our eagle eyed guides spotted a couple of whales and then a couple more, soon we were cruising around with whales popping up all around us.

The boys were thrilled, it was amazing. Javi and Lorena were excellent guides, very knowledgable about the whales, we learned a lot and had an amazing time. After an hour of whale watching we resumed our journey to the arch and Lovers beach. It’s was very busy around the arch but Javi is an excellent captain and was able to get us to a quiet spot on the beach where we anchored and all swam and snorkeled away from the crowds. La Isla provided a fun float mat and some tasty chips and salsa and plenty of water and sodas. The only disappointment was the snorkeling was a bit difficult for our young boys. The water was very choppy due to all the boats and the currents were strong so it was not ideal for snorkeling unless your a strong swimmer.

We had a wonderful few hours with Lorena and Javi and would highly recommend La Isla tours.

We have been taking a private cruise with La Isla for several years and both of our boys (now 15y and 12y) say it is their FAVORITE thing we ever do … in Cabo or anywhere!

The staff at La Isla for reservations is so easy to work/communicate with and the crew they have on the boats are absolutely fabulous. This year we had a longer vacation and we went out twice with Gustavo and Luisa. We swam, we sang, we ate, we drank, we jumped off the top of the boat, we cruised the Sea of Cortez, we saw Land’s End, El Arco, and the sunset … and we had a perfect time … TWICE!

Luisa and Gustavo took amazing care of us – they were fun, helpful, and professional.

We look forward to coming back and will DEFINITELY book with La Isla again!

Had an amazing time on Pelican Cabo! The staff was amazing. Great drinks poured amazing food all throughout our ride. We even got to see whales swimming right next to our boat, it was unbelievable!

This was definitely my favorite part of our trip and I would definitely recommend Pelican Cabo to everyone who visits!

Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

The entire experience was spectacular!

The dock was easy to find in the marina. They were the first boat in the dock and were already waiting for us.

They upgraded our boat to a bigger one. It was clean, spacious and plenty of shade with seating area. Issac and Jonathan were on the boat with us. Gave us plenty of information about Cabo and basically had us do our own thing. We played music of our choice and brought our own food. They provided drinks and snacks. Plenty of time for photos and videos of the arches and time for swimming/snorkeling/paddleboarding.

It was the perfect adventure for our family, just us the way we wanted to spend our time. I highly recommend this company!

We had such an incredible experience with this boat, crew and owner! We would HIGHLY recommend this if you are looking for a charter, this is it! New and clean boat with an excellent sound system, great drinks, great food and just all around excellent crew (Lorena, Gus and the captain).

We charter a half day for my husbands 50th and it exceeded all expectations. The communication with Gabriela leading up to our trip was amazing as well, she got back to me on all my questions without delay!

Please give them a chance, you’ll be happy you did!

Gabrielle’s crew was a joy – many of us have been on private boat charters in Mexico but this was our favorite experience.

What stands out about this experience was the crew and the boat itself. The crew is focused on ensuring your group has a great time, and the boat itself had plenty of space for 16 people.

We loved the set up of the boat as there’s lounge furniture on both levels and is set up in an open format which makes hanging out with each other very easy.

The bonus was all the activity gear that comes with it. We also added on the open bar, food, and a photographer to capture our time on the boat. The photos came out awesome. We had an amazing weekend in Cabo in general but this was the best activity of the weekend and I highly recommending booking!

Something I like to do on vacations near the water is to always book a boat tour. This tour was one of the best boat tours I have been on from start to finish, and was the highlight of our Cabo vacation.

We booked the 4 hour snorkeling tour on the 29 foot custom catamaran (the blue and white one with a top deck for laying out and jumping off). Leo was an amazing host who shared his love for Cabo and Mexico with our group, was professional and friendly and kept our drinks filled. Mario is a great captain and got us up close to El Arco and Seal Rock for some beautiful pictures!

The crew provided us with a cooler of ice to keep our drinks cool, complimentary chips and salsa, and towels. There’s a Bluetooth speaker with a great sound system to keep the party going, a floating mat, snorkeling gear, rooftop jump off spot and plenty of space to relax or party! We will definitely book this trip again with Leo and Mario on our next Cabo adventure. Thank you both for making our trip fun and special!!!!
