One of the most common questions guests ask after booking a Cabo boat tour is surprisingly simple: “Where do we actually board the boat?” Cabo San Lucas has beaches, bays, resorts, and marinas and not every tour departs from the same place. Knowing where your boat leaves from (and why) makes the entire experience smoother, less stressful, and far more enjoyable.
For guests booking with Booze Cruise Cabo, the answer is clear, professional, and easy to navigate.
The Main Departure Point for Cabo Boat Tours
Most licensed Cabo boat tours depart from the Cabo San Lucas Marina, the protected harbor located in the heart of downtown Cabo. Within that marina, there are several docks and operating zones but private yachts and professionally operated charters typically depart from IGY Marina Cabo San Lucas, which is considered the premier marina facility in the area.
Booze Cruise Cabo’s yachts are located at IGY Marina.
Why IGY Marina Is the Preferred Departure Location
IGY Marina is not just another dock. It is a full-service, internationally recognized marina designed to support high-end vessels and professional charter operations. This matters more than most travelers realize. IGY Marina offers:
-
Protected, calm boarding conditions
-
Clearly numbered docks and slips
-
Professional marina security
-
Easy access for taxis and rideshare
-
Immediate departure to the Arch and Medano Bay
From a guest perspective, it means less confusion and more comfort especially for groups, celebrations, and first-time visitors to Cabo.
Where Booze Cruise Cabo Boats Are Located
All Booze Cruise Cabo yachts and private vessels depart directly from IGY Marina Cabo San Lucas.
This ensures:
-
Consistent meeting locations
-
Reliable boarding times
-
Licensed and insured operations
-
Smooth departures without beach loading or tender transfers
Guests are never asked to:
-
Wade into water
-
Board from the beach
-
Meet “somewhere along the marina”
-
Guess which dock to use
Everything is clearly defined.
How Guests Find the Exact Boarding Location
To eliminate confusion, Booze Cruise Cabo provides a map and a Google GPS point locator for every charter.
This is especially helpful for:
- Visitors unfamiliar with Cabo
- Groups arriving separately
- Taxi and Uber drivers
- Guests navigating on foot from nearby hotels
Using Google Maps allows guests to arrive directly at the correct marina entrance and dock area not just the general marina zone.
Google Maps Makes It Simple
With the provided Google Maps pin:
-
Guests can open directions instantly
-
Drivers know exactly where to drop off
-
Walking routes are clearly shown
-
Arrival stress is eliminated
This small detail makes a big difference, especially for groups on a schedule.
Why Departure Location Matters More Than You Think
Not all Cabo boat tours operate the same way. Some lower-cost or informal operators:
-
Load guests from the beach
-
Require dinghy transfers
-
Change meeting points last minute
-
Provide vague directions like “near the marina”
While these tours may still be legal, they can add unnecessary stress especially for celebrations where timing matters. Professional operators depart from professional marinas.
