Booking a boat tour in Cabo San Lucas is usually one of the most exciting parts of a vacation. Guests picture calm water, music playing, cold drinks, photos at the Arch, and an easy afternoon anchored in Medano Bay. Most days in Cabo deliver exactly that. Still, the ocean is the ocean and occasionally weather conditions step in. If you’re planning a yacht charter, catamaran, or party cruise, it’s reasonable to ask what happens if weather cancels a Cabo boat tour, and more importantly, what happens to your deposit.

At Booze Cruise Cabo, this is handled clearly, fairly, and without fine print.

Cabo Weather and Boat Tours: The Reality

Cabo San Lucas is one of the most reliable boating destinations in the world. The marina is protected, routes are established, and most cruises stay within comfortable, sheltered areas. That’s why weather-related cancellations are uncommon. However, when conditions become unsafe, the Cabo San Lucas Port Authority has the final say. If the port is officially closed due to weather, no licensed boat is legally allowed to operate regardless of the size of the yacht or the type of tour.

This rule applies to:

Safety always comes first.

Who Decides If a Cabo Boat Tour Is Cancelled?

This is one of the most important things guests should understand. Boat tour companies do not decide when to cancel due to weather. That decision is made by the local port authority, based on:

When the port is closed, departures are prohibited period.

What Happens to Your Deposit If the Port Is Closed?

If the port is officially closed due to weather conditions, Booze Cruise Cabo refunds the deposit.

This policy is straightforward and guest-first:

• The deposit is fully refunded
• No penalties
• No forced credits
• No rebooking obligation

If the tour cannot legally operate, the service is not delivered and the deposit is returned.

Rebooking Is Always an Option (If You Prefer)

While the refund is automatic in a port-closure situation, many guests prefer to rebook if their travel schedule allows it.

If you choose to rebook:

• Your deposit can be applied to a new date
• We help find the next available safe window
• There are no rebooking fees due to weather-related cancellations

This choice is entirely yours. Some guests take the refund. Others wait for calmer seas. Both options are respected.

Why Booze Cruise Cabo Handles Weather This Way

Weather cancellations are nobody’s fault and they should never turn into a stressful experience for guests traveling internationally. This policy exists to:

A weather cancellation should feel inconvenient not costly.

What If the Weather Isn’t Perfect, but the Port Is Open?

Not every cloudy or breezy day means cancellation. If the port remains open:

• Tours typically operate safely
• Captains adjust routes
• Activities may focus on protected areas like Medano Bay

This is common in Cabo and often surprises guests with how enjoyable the experience still is.

On these days:

Clear communication is always provided before departure.

How Booze Cruise Cabo Approaches Marginal Weather Days

When conditions are borderline but legal to operate, the approach is conservative and guest-focused:

Most groups still choose to go and many say they barely noticed the difference once anchored and relaxing.

A Realistic Guest Scenario

A birthday group booked a private yacht for a Friday afternoon. Overnight, wind conditions increased and swell forecasts changed.

By Friday morning:

The group had two clear options:

• Receive a full deposit refund
• Rebook for the following afternoon

They chose to rebook.

The next day delivered calm water, sunshine, and what they later described as the best afternoon of their Cabo trip. The experience worked because expectations were clear and policies were fair.

Quick Summary: Weather Cancellation Policy

• Port closed due to weather: Deposit refunded
• Guest prefers to rebook: Deposit applied to new date
• Port open but conditions adjusted: Tour operates safely
• No pressure, no fine print, no confusion
