About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- donniek6470 contributionsChill trip out for sunset and dinner.The boat and crew were amazing. Everyone very hard working and you could tell they were hustling to make our experience a good one. The smaller size of the boat (compared to the other companies) makes it feel much more chill. The atmosphere on the boat was great, and the views were spectacular. Although it wasnt a whale watching trip per se, we saw so many Whales. The food was pretty good, gotta expect its not a gourmet kitchen, but it was very good! All in all, the price is higher than the others but still very affordable and nice. We definitely enjoyed the trip. Again, +1 for the crew who were great!Written 23 March 2025
- Stephanie C0 contributionsGreat family experience!This beautiful sunset pirate boat ride was one to remember! They involved the guests and made it engaging while putting on a great show! Great for families :)Written 21 March 2025
- clareeful0 contributionsSnorkel LunchGreat experience! I added in transportation to and from where I was staying which was great. The drivers were friendly, on time, and safe. The staff in the boat was fantastic and the food was yummy. Would highly recommend! It was a mix of friend groups, families, and couples on the trip.Written 16 March 2025
- stevepB7279EX0 contributionsPerfect Sunset Cruise – Relaxing, Scenic, and Fun!If you’re looking for a sunset cruise in Cabo without the wild spring break scene, this is it! From start to finish, the experience was top-notch. The crew was incredible—attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was off the hook, way beyond what you’d expect on a boat. The vibe was perfect—think Yacht Rock, great wine, and craft cocktails instead of thumping club music. The other guests were fun and friendly, making for a relaxed and enjoyable evening. And the highlight? Whales breaching as the sun set over the water. Absolutely breathtaking. If you’re looking for a more refined, chill experience while taking in the best of Cabo’s coastline, this is the cruise to book. Highly recommend!Written 12 March 2025
- juliabJ2918ZV0 contributionsPleasant evening ocean dinner cruiseGreat cruise. Great staff. In short order, they helped me with an engagement proposal and it went perfectly with music, photos, and ideas to help me out. My fiancee enjoyed the surprise.Written 9 March 2025
- F8519HNamyc0 contributionsGood funWas a fun adventure. Great for the whole family. Food was great and we even got to see whales. Was a little difficult to eat on your lap, but not a big deal. They get everyone involved and it was a great time.Written 2 March 2025
- ashleypelka0 contributionsGreat for the whole familyWe decided on doing the whale watching and breakfast excursion with a toddler. The meal they served upon arrival was actually really good. The whale watching was beautiful and got to see one jump right in front of our boat along with many others. The entertainment on the cruise was so fun! Definitely recommend!!Written 2 March 2025
- Roberta C0 contributionsExceeded our Expectations!!We hesitate to book these types of cruises worrying they will be “party cruises” but this exceeded our expectations by far! The staff was attentive and friendly, the boat was comfortable with ample seating on cushioned decks with pillows and the fellow guests were all friendly and fun. We were served individual charcuterie boards, passed appetizers and plenty of drinks prior to dinner. When it got chilly the women were offered nice blankets (freshly laundered!). Dinner was sit down style with good shrimp and steak and more drinks. The sunset was beautiful and the captain made every effort to get us close to whales. The trip was approximately 3 hours and worth every penny. This was well done and would highly recommend, and that recommendation is not easily earned! **Note that you should definitely get there the suggested 40 mins prior as you need to pay your $5/pp environment fee at the main marina before you board the boat. There will be a line.Written 25 February 2025
- candyvfowler0 contributionsThe perfect evening!What a fabulous team we had last night! They were so friendly, greeted us with beautiful smiles and very accommodating. Lots of good booze flowing, food,food, food, music great, whales all around us and of course the most perfect sunset! We’ve done other sunset cruises thru the year but we thought this one was the best…especially espresso martinis! Thank you so much for a lovely evening…Written 22 February 2025
- SammyJProBroker0 contributionsPirate Dinner, Sunset, Show and Whales Oh My!This was our last excursion on this trip and wished it was the first as we would have canceled all others! We saw whales, had entertainment, good food, fun crew and other tourists and a beautiful sunset! Usually it's hard to get 5 stars from both of us and the Yellow Buckaneer Queen Ship did it! When we go back, definitely doing again and on the Buckaneer Queen!Written 21 February 2025
- elainejantz0 contributionsPirate ship whale watchingCaptain Tony and the crew on the Buccaneer Queen were awesome! The breakfast was superb. We saw lots of whales, enjoyed the breakfast and drinks. Totally recommend!Written 19 February 2025
- Tommay20150 contributionssunset cruiseSix of us did this cruise, including a 15 year old and an 11 year old. Great family experience! The girls had a hoot dancing, the sunset was incredible, and we also saw some whales.Written 17 February 2025
- yellowstoneworkshops0 contributionsA mixed reviewWe took the Buccaneer Queen dinner and show cruise. The food and drinks were good and the crew was engaging and put on a great show. It was very an enjoyable time. This is a mixed review because of issues that are management related. The check-in was badly managed and understaffed. For that reason (I think) we left about 10 or 15 minutes late. Then we arrived back at the dock about 10 minutes early. That made for a very short cruise.Written 15 February 2025
- sambunn840 contributionsGreat staff and funEveryone on the boat was great. The DJ and the guy running the show were awsome. We went twice in 3 days.Written 15 February 2025
- GloriaQ0 contributionsScenery and service great, food/drink so so....Pros: Boat is nice. Service was great. There was a lot of whale action and of course the scenery was stunning. Cons: Pass on this cruise if you drink wine. Yellow Tail is what they poured. If you drink beer or spirits you should be good. The food was nothing special. We agreed that if we ever did another cruise we would not choose a dinner option.Written 10 February 2025

Food was amazing. Drinks were also amazing. We saw a ton of whales breaching and playing and it was great. It wasn’t over crowded and there was no waits for food or drink, and the staff was super attentive.
The only negative would be the “marine biologist,” who was not only NOT a marine biologist, but instead a hype man for whales that wouldn’t stop shouting and screaming “kitty kitty kitty!” Every 20 seconds and screaming “whale tail!!!!!!” Anytime we saw a whale.
It might have been entertaining for a 6 year old but for adults trying to see whales it was excessively distracting and irritating and almost certainly was driving the whales away from the boat due to the extensive speaker system that amplified his irritating screeches.
Otherwise great time!

Very nice attention from the staff. The drink variety was good and the food was okay. We saw several whales, the captain is highly experienced and he could move fast to get close to the whales.
The party environment is also nice, because the staff is very friendly and they make you feel confortable.
The tour also includes the basic Cabo rocks route, divorce beach, etc. You will have enough time to take some pictures and see this natural attractions as well.
There is a very good photographer on board, he will take you some pictures on the rocks and then you can optionally buy them for a reasonable price. He will also include some postal whale photos that apparently where taken that same day (when I saw the digital information card from those whale pictures, they where not taken on the same day lol)
The marina deck station is in a very good location, right next to breathless marina resort.
Also, you need to be prepared to pay additional $2 USD per person for deck fee.
I’ve been in another type of Tours such as private yacht or small/medium shared boat tours and definitively this Cabo escape adventure was the best of all.

We had a blast on this cruise, the breakfast was great. The staff was very friendly and attentive, very knowledgeable of migration and mating rituals of the whales. We were very impressed the captain kept the boat at a safe distance from the whales he didn't rush in close like other operators.

Our first full day in Cabo and we booked this excursion because SunRider 100 cancelled our trip. Best thing that happened to us! We booked Cabo Escape and saw whales blowing, breaching and saw tails. Had the best time! Met some incredible people.
They allowed plenty of time for pictures to be taken of the Arch, Scoobie Doo, ect. I would do this excursion again.

Well organized, decent food, very friendly and attentive staff that went out of their way to make you feel comfortable and enjoy the experience. If you go during the whale migration season you will likely see several whales. Great experience for all ages, including families with kids!

Boarding process was unorganized and chaotic, boat was nice and clean. Service was good. Breakfast was good. Music that is played at ear bleeding levels, is inappropriate for children. During the whale watching a lady was continuously talking over the loudest speakers on earth. She kept talking nonsense about whales. Every time we got close to a whale she would start talking and scare the whales away. Sometimes some quiet would be nice when enjoying this beautiful place. The forever talking “whale expert” ruined what would have been an enjoyable experience.

We absolutely loved this tour! The breakfast was very good -- lots of options and hearty. Lots of juices and and open bar also. Staff was very attentive and friendly throughout the whole tour. We picked the most perfect day to whale watch as we spotted a whale about 10 minutes in and it performed constantly for over the next hour plus. It was still breaching and playing around when our tour had to head back. The biologist onboard was very informative. Can't say enough good things about this.

An alright cruise and did see one or two whales surface but no jumping. Unfortunately, being toward the end of the line we were stuck sitting under blasting speakers. They stop by an arch for about 30 minutes to take pictures of the 75 or so people on board. Bring gnat repellent! And possibly ear plugs.

I’ve been to whale watching tours before so I knew what to expect… this tour blew me away nonetheless!! The breakfast was okay like any basic breakfast: eggs, beans, bacon, quesadillas, fruits, coffee and juices. The staff was friendly and attentive. The tour includes breakfast and as many drinks as you want.The best part were the whales they jumped and we coming out of the water a lot we were super lucky!!

We were traveling with our children (infant and 6 yo) and were recommended this tour.
The good:
Transportation was provided. It was on time and in a very clean and nice van.
Service was good, staff attentive and energetic.
The bad:
The catamaran table set up. Tables are on both sides of the lower level and in the middle. That means people can only stand up in front of the ship. No chairs, only benches which are very uncomfortable to be strong on (hard plastic). Also because of the set up, seating space is very limited. The upper level is even worse with only benches available. If you’re sitting in a side table, expect to get wet as water enters form the sides.
The breakfast is of the worst quality! It would be better to bring your own. Please consider giving a box breakfast instead of the hot breakfast disaster. A granola bar, a fresh fruit, a yogurt and a cold sandwich would be a 1000 times better.
The coffee was terrible, really really terrible!
The drinks, we played safe by getting a beer in a can. I’d rather have one good quality drink than an open bar of cheap drinks.
Too short, the tour is too short for whale watching. We only saw 2 whales by the time we had to head back. We saw another whale on the way back.
Conclusion: I wish there was a more upscale way to do this tour. Everything felt cheap. As is said, the staff really tried their best.
