Can there be any better way to relax after a day in paradise than to sail out to sea as the sky lights up in a riot of dazzling colour? Board at Cabo San Lucas’ magnificent marina and sail out into the Pacific, the golden early evening light gilding the waves.

Enjoy great views of famous local landmarks such as Lovers’ Beach and the famous Cabo Arch. Then as the captain drops anchor, it’s all eyes to the west as you enjoy the unforgettable spectacle of the sun sinking beyond the horizon. Gaze across the Pacific and watch hues of melon, lavender and scarlet melt into the sky as the first evening stars appear. Then spoil yourself at the Mexican buffet and open bar, enjoy the fun and games on deck and shiver your timbers to the swashbuckling Pirates Show! A perfect ending to another perfect day!
