Weddings at sea
Exchange vows with Land's End behind you, raise a glass as the sun sets over the Pacific and bring everyone you love together on the water. From a ceremony for two to a reception for a hundred guests, we help you find the vessel that fits.
A ceremony with a view
A yacht wedding in Cabo is a private charter on a yacht or event catamaran for your ceremony, your reception or both. Luxury yachts suit intimate ceremonies for a small group, while event catamarans host receptions of 50 to 120 guests. Catering, decorations, music and photography depend on the vessel and are confirmed in writing before you book.
There are few settings as dramatic as the tip of the Baja peninsula. Granite cliffs rise straight from the sea, the arch at Land's End frames the horizon, and in the late afternoon the whole coastline turns gold. A wedding on the water lets your guests experience that view together, without crowds, and with the freedom to move from vows to dinner to dancing on the same deck.
Because every boat is different, the most important decision is the vessel. Its size sets how many guests can sit for a ceremony or a meal, its layout decides where the aisle, the bar and the dance floor go, and its equipment determines what catering, sound and decoration are possible. We help you weigh those details early, so the rest of the planning falls into place. Weddings are one of our charter experiences, and you can compare suitable boats in the yacht fleet and the catamaran fleet.
Ways to celebrate
Choose one, or combine them across your wedding week.
For a couple with family and close friends, a luxury yacht offers privacy, polish and a ceremony at anchor with the cliffs behind you. Yachts such as the 58' Custom Sunseeker and 60' Sunseeker Manhattan list up to 14 guests, and the 75' Sunseeker Manhattan up to 20.
Suits: elopements, small weddings and vow renewals.
Event catamarans give you space for rows of chairs on deck, a dining salon or long tables, a bar and room to dance. Options run from the 60' Event Catamaran for up to 50 guests to the 100' Party Catamaran for up to 120.
Suits: full wedding celebrations with all your guests on board.
Married on land? Bring the celebration to the water for golden-hour toasts, dinner and dancing as the lights of Cabo come on. Party boats such as the Neon Moon add LED lighting and a dance floor.
Suits: couples who want a ceremony ashore and a party at sea.
Many couples charter more than once: a welcome cruise for arriving guests, a rehearsal dinner on the water, a bachelor or bachelorette day, or a relaxed swim-and-snorkel day after the big night.
Suits: destination weddings with guests in town for several days.
Real celebrations on board
Ceremony arches on deck, cakes at anchor and dancing under the stars. Every arrangement shown depends on the vessel and is confirmed for your date.
Choosing a wedding vessel
Count everyone who will be on board, including the officiant, photographer and any musicians. Then choose a vessel whose listed maximum is comfortably higher, because seated ceremonies and dinners need more space than a cruise. The figures below are the maximum guests listed for each vessel.
Planning considerations
Sunset in Cabo comes earlier in winter and later in summer, so we plan backwards from the light on your date: boarding, a short cruise to the ceremony spot, vows during golden hour and the celebration as the sky changes color. Allow extra time for guests to board and settle. Our charter planning guide explains seasons and timing in more detail.
Wind and swell vary from day to day. Captains choose a sheltered spot for the ceremony whenever possible, and your plan should include what happens if conditions change, from a different anchorage to the terms for rescheduling.
Menus range from cocktail appetizers to plated dinners and buffets, depending on the vessel's galley and crew. Some boats list a chef or catering; others work with outside options. We confirm what is possible, including your cake, the bar service and any bring-your-own policy.
Ceremony arches, flowers, chairs and table settings can transform a deck, as the photos above show. Every arrangement depends on the vessel's layout and rules, may carry an additional cost and is confirmed in advance. Ask about restrictions such as loose confetti or open flames.
El Arco, golden hour and the open sea give photographers a lot to work with. Our Paparazzi Service can record the day on video, or your own photographer can join you on board as part of the guest count.
Think about older guests, children and anyone with limited mobility when choosing a vessel and boarding plan. We can help arrange transportation from your hotel or villa to the marina, and we confirm the boarding point and arrival time for everyone.
The legal requirements for getting married in Mexico are separate from the charter itself. Please confirm with your wedding planner or officiant which formalities apply to you. Many couples complete the legal paperwork separately and hold a symbolic ceremony on board.

Questions & answers
Answers to the questions couples ask while planning a wedding on the water in Cabo San Lucas.
Ask us something elseYes. Couples hold ceremonies on yachts and event catamarans off Cabo San Lucas, often at anchor with Land's End and El Arco in the background. The charter covers the vessel, captain and crew; the legal side of marriage is handled separately, so check the formalities with your planner or officiant.
It depends on the vessel. Luxury yachts in our fleet list from 12 to 30 guests, the 74' Blue Water and 60' Event Catamaran up to 50, 110' The Deck up to 80, the Event Wedding Boat up to 100 and the 100' Party Catamaran up to 120. Seated ceremonies and dinners need more space, so choose a boat rated above your head count.

Couples often bring a wedding cake on board, as our photos show. Bring-your-own policies for drinks differ by vessel and package, so we confirm what is allowed, and what is provided, before you book.
Yes, decorations such as a ceremony arch, flowers, chairs and table settings can usually be arranged. They depend on the vessel's layout and rules, may involve an additional cost and are confirmed in advance. Ask about restrictions such as confetti or candles.
Many event and party vessels have sound systems, and a DJ can be arranged on some boats at an additional cost. Tell us what you have in mind, from a string player for the ceremony to a dance party, and we will confirm what each vessel can support.
Captains and the port authority prioritize safety, and departures can be restricted in strong wind or high seas. The captain may choose a more sheltered location, and the rescheduling or cancellation options are set out in your written terms. We recommend building a little flexibility into your wedding week.
Our Paparazzi Service records the day on video, and you are welcome to bring your own photographer as part of the guest count. Let us know your plans so we can include them in the timeline and the head count.
As early as possible once your date is set, particularly for the large event catamarans and for high season from December through April. Early booking gives you the widest choice of vessels and more time to plan catering and decorations.
