Boating & Yachting in Cabo

Explore Cabo’s top communities for yacht owners, sportfishing enthusiasts, and those who live life by the sea.

Why Cabo is a Global Boating Hub

Positioned at the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula, Cabo is where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez — a strategic gateway for cruisers, deep-sea anglers, and luxury yacht owners from around the world. Its marina infrastructure is world-class, the boating season never really ends, and the surrounding communities offer everything from five-star resort service to gated, low-density privacy.

Whether you’re sailing in from California, fishing marlin off the coast, or simply want to walk from your terrace to your slip, Cabo delivers a seamless waterfront lifestyle few places can match.

Types of Boat Owners Who Buy in Cabo

Sportfishing Enthusiasts

Cabo is one of the sportfishing capitals of the world. Many buyers are return visitors who eventually choose to purchase a second home with quick access to the marina — often in communities like Puerto Los Cabos or Pedregal.

Full-Time Cruisers

For boaters who spend months at sea or seasonally cruise the coast, Cabo offers a safe harbor with everything close at hand: dining, service, medical, golf, and wellness. Homes in Costa Palmas and Puerto Los Cabos are especially attractive.

Megayacht Owners

Slip length matters, and so does privacy. Many of Cabo’s marina-adjacent properties cater to buyers who want long slips, high-end service, and resort-level management from brands like Four Seasons or Ritz-Carlton.

Lifestyle Investors

Some buyers want branded, full-service homes near the marina that can be used personally and rented to like-minded travelers. Four Seasons Costa Palmas and Ritz-Carlton Reserve are top examples.

Top Communities for Boat Owners

Costa Palmas

Located on the East Cape, Costa Palmas is a master-planned resort anchored by a private marina, Four Seasons and Aman-branded homes, swimmable beaches, and an 18-hole golf course. Slip ownership is available for select properties, and yacht concierge service is offered on-site.

Puerto Los Cabos

Positioned just east of San José del Cabo, Puerto Los Cabos is home to a full-service marina with slips up to 400 feet. Gated residential enclaves like Fundadores, El Encanto, and the Ritz-Carlton Reserve Residences offer oceanfront villas and estate homes with easy access to the docks, golf, and beach clubs.

Pedregal

Perched on the hillside above the IGY Marina in Cabo San Lucas, Pedregal is one of Cabo’s most established gated communities. Though homes don’t have private slips, residents enjoy quick access to the vibrant marina scene, along with panoramic views and a walkable lifestyle.

Quivira & Pacific Communities

While not adjacent to a marina, communities like Quivira, St. Regis, and Coronado are favored by yacht owners who prefer golf-front privacy and drive to the Cabo Marina when ready to launch.
