The Cabo hip hop boat party

Cabo's Hip Hop Sessions party is the same open-bar format as Cancun, on the Sea of Cortez. Here is where to meet, when it sails, what is different and how to handle the Baja sun.

The Cabo party rates 4.7 from 787 reviews, second only to Cancun. It sails from the Cabo San Lucas marina at noon and returns at 3 PM.

Its reviews are more mixed than Cancun's: lots of love for the music and hosts, and more complaints about heat and logistics. Both are useful.

The quick answer

Meet at 11 AM at the Cabo Escape Tours dock (Muelle del Cabo), in the marina behind the Breathless hotel. The party runs from 12 to 3 PM on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, from $105 plus a $10 cash conservation fee. It is non-refundable and 18+.

Where does the Cabo boat party leave from?

From the Cabo Escape Tours dock, Muelle del Cabo, in the Cabo San Lucas marina behind the Breathless hotel.

The listing says to search for Cabo Escape Tours if you cannot find it. Arrive at 11 AM sharp. One guest missed the boat after a last-minute change of location, so check your messages on the morning of the party.

What is included in Cabo?

An open bar of well spirits, beer, sodas, water and juice, DJs, hosts, games, a champagne shower, photos and snacks, which guests describe as tacos.

Not included: tips, transport and a $10 per person conservation fee in cash at the dock. Reviewers say the staff take US dollars. A bottle buys you a seated area, according to one guest.

Do you see El Arco?

Guests describe being taken past the famous arch at Land's End soon after leaving the marina.

It is not listed as a stop, so treat it as a bonus. The swim is less reliable in Cabo: some reviewers say swimming was not allowed on their day.

How hot is it on the boat?

Very, in summer: several reviewers warn about strong sun, little shade and no air conditioning.

Bring a fan or cooling towel, reef-safe sunscreen and a hat, sit upstairs only if you can take the sun, and drink water between shots.

What do Cabo guests complain about?

The heat, the wait before boarding, the small amount of food and, on some days, a smaller boat than in the photos.

The listing says the boat can vary from the pictures. A couple of guests could not access the photo link afterwards, so scan the QR code on board and save it.

What else is there to do after the boat?

The operator runs a boat after-party by night and an all-you-can-drink club crawl in Cabo San Lucas.

Those are sold on the operator's own site. If you are choosing between ports, see every port compared.
