vacationmommy Posted February 16, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 16, 2017 We will be on the Norwegian Jewel in March and have booked the Cabo San Lucas Private Sailing Charter with Island Marketing LTD. Has anyone done this before? If so did you enjoy it and were there any issues? Was the company reliable? We have an early start due to the short time in port and just want to make sure that we picked a good company. Thank you for any help or advice on this you can give.

TMR2 Posted February 16, 2017 #2 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Is this the one you booked? https://cabosanlucascruiseexcursions.com/excursions/private-whale-watching-and-coastal-sailing-charter/ ?? We just did this last week and it was amazing.. we saw a sperm whale and a gray whale that come up almost tight next to our sailboat. My photos are on my camera and I'll try to post a few later. The sailboat is really nice and so was the crew. We did some snorkeling as well. Water was really calm in the bay and water was fairly warm . They met us just down the dock from where the tender let us off and walked with us to the sailboat, maybe a 5-8 min walk Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitkat74 Posted March 22, 2017 #5 Share Posted March 22, 2017 How was the ride on the sailboat? A bit concerned about one who is more sensitive may get seasick. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillyfish Posted March 22, 2017 #6 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I've been looking at this companies website as well for the beach day excursion in Cabo, recommended by another CC poster. I am wondering about the companies reliability too. I did send an inquiry to them via their website and did receive a reply with my question answered within minutes.

TMR2 Posted March 22, 2017 #7 Share Posted March 22, 2017 We had a great day , wasn't rough at all. We had the same concern and the captain said that they stay close to shore on rougher days as it's more protected. We had kids with us and everyone loved it. As far as reliability, we have gone on tours with this company on both our western Caribbean and eastern Caribbean cruises and had amazing experiences so felt comfortable booking with them in Cabo Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacationmommy Posted March 22, 2017 Author #8 Share Posted March 22, 2017 It was wonderful the crew was fantastic my husband got sick and was unable to make it, so one of the guys went in the water snorkeling with my son. We also dropped out GoPro luckily it was not in the deepest part of the ocean when we stopped for snorkeling and paddleboarding, and the other crew members jumped in and drove it I was thankful. They were so much fun, and it was not to Rocky I do not like small boats at all, and I had no issues with the boat it was one of the best excursions I have taken I have already decided that next time we will book them again. My son just laid out on the front of the boat for most of it and relaxed along with the rest of us, sadly we did not see any whales, but that was ok it was still completely worth the money and the day we spent. I do not think anyone will need to worry about seasickness like I said it was a slow and relaxing time with good snacks and good drinks I can not wait to do it again the next time we are out that way.

rayal8 Posted May 10, 2017 #10 Share Posted May 10, 2017 This sounds like a great trip. My kids would love to see the whales, are they around all year long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWcruisers Posted May 12, 2017 #11 Share Posted May 12, 2017 This sounds like a great trip. My kids would love to see the whales, are they around all year long? No, only from December to early March, and of course, they are whales, so it's up to them what their schedule is. :D The whales leave Cabo to go to Alaska. They come to Cabo to mate.

rlkubi Posted May 15, 2017 #12 Share Posted May 15, 2017 We are considering this also. What was included? Was there a "head"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMR2 Posted May 16, 2017 #13 Share Posted May 16, 2017 We loved this trip. We had margaritas but they had beer too. Chips and yummy guacamole.. we had great tacos but they had other options too. Head=bathroom, right? Yes it had one and the inside was nice but we stayed in the deck mostly Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlkubi Posted May 16, 2017 #14 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Were you able to see a lot of whales since a sailboat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMR2 Posted July 19, 2017 #15 Share Posted July 19, 2017 We saw a lot. I think the sailboat is better as it's quieter because we didn't have a loud engine .. or maybe we were just lucky :) Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
