Explore what lies beneath with Cabo Expeditions. 42 LOS CABOS MAGAZINE | FALL 2013 Mariachis are optional, but highly recommended. Special sails are offered for cruise ship passengers with limited time in our seaside paradise. Lovers of luxury catamarans and multibay snorkel and kayak tours, meanwhile, should definitely seek out the elegant, French-built EcoCat (www.caboecotours.com), which offers all the double-hulled stability and smooth sailing characteristic of the larger cats, with surprisingly affordable and budget-friendly pricing. EcoCat features a large salon-style air-conditioned cabin, where you can beat the heat as you enjoy one of its many tours. Outing options include sunset and VIP dinner cruises, as well as combination snorkelkayak zodiac trips. Splash and paddle around beautiful locations like Pelican and Seal Rocks in Cabo San Lucas Bay or sign up for a two- or three-bay option, which includes stops at Chileno and Santa María bays. Party boat and booze cruise aficionados may want to sign up for the Sunrider 100 (www.sunridertours.com). The 100-foot catamaran carries up to 250 guests for snorkel lunch and sunset dinner cruises, so you feel as if you’re aboard the world’s largest floating nightclub, with plenty of drinks, dance music and all-you-can-eat treats from the Mexican-themed buffet. Something a little more intimate? Try the Sun Rider or the Fun Rider. The former holds up to 60 guests, the latter up to 18 for family-and-friends cruises. Catamaran enthusiasts would also be impressed with the trinity of tours offered by Pez Gato (www.pezgato.com), Tropicat (www.tropicatcabo.com), and Cabo Mar (www.cabo-mar.com). Pez Gato is the early bird of the group, with snorkel trips to Bahia Santa María as well as hugely popular party cruises with drinking, dancing and games. Its sister cat Tropicat, on the other hand, is known for its more relaxed jazz and wine sunset cruises. I don’t know abou you, but sipping some pinot noir, nibbling on hors d’oeuvres, and feeling a gentle mist of salt spray sounds pretty good right about now. Cabo Mar is the designated dinner cat, boasting a fiesta-themed dinner cruise that includes dancing and an all-you-can-eat Mexican buffet. In addition to the tasty eats, photo opportunities abound on this tour, with scenic views as the sun descends into the Pacific Ocean beyond Land’s End, the sky painted with vivid pink and purple brushstrokes. Too poetic? Get back to me after you have taken this tour. La Princesa (www.laprincesacharters.com) has two superb catamarans as well as a trimaran to choose from, and tour options include snorkel trips, sunset booze cruises, and the occasional theme night with masquerades or salsa dancing. One of the best things about sailing with La Princesa is the later start time. Since they don’t throw off the mooring lines until noon, spend the morning hours reading the latest copy of range from 30 to 42 feet in length and are able to accommodate up to 20 guests for snorkel and sunset tours, as well as private and overnight charters customized to the specific needs of guests. The sunset tours are as romantic as you can imagine, with champagne-aided sunsets and the feel of the deck shifting beneath your feet as you run before the wind.
