The harbor
You leave from Cabo San Lucas Marina, not from San José. The classic run is Finis Terra (Land’s End): El Arco, Dedo de Neptuno (the thin spire standing in the water) and the sea lion rocks. Playa del Amor is on the Sea of Cortez side; Playa del Divorcio faces the Pacific — do not swim there.
A private yacht is not the 45-minute glass-bottom ride. On a yacht the minimum is usually two hours. If you want to swim, the captain looks for a bay pocket when the sea allows. Where you swim, and how close you get to the Arch, is his call that day.
You can walk the marina without a ticket. If the dock or park charges something, it is on that listing.
Boarding and marinas

Questions and guides
¿Cuánto dura ir al Arco?+
2 h en yate; 45–60 min en lancha de cristal
Las lanchas de fondo de cristal al Arco andan en 45 a 60 minutos. Un yate privado no es eso: el mínimo suele ser dos horas, y el capitán arma Arco, Dedo de Neptuno y, si el mar deja, un alto para nadar en bahía. El mínimo contractual está en cada ficha.
¿Se cobra para entrar a la marina?+
El malecón se camina
Marina Cabo San Lucas se camina sin boleto de entrada. Si el muelle o un parque cobra algo el día de tu salida, el operador lo pone en la experiencia. No hay una tarifa fija que podamos citar aquí.
¿Qué llevar?+
Sol, ID, efectivo para propina si quieres
Gorra, bloqueador (mejor que no mate el arrecife), identificación y algo de efectivo si quieres dejar propina. Comida y bebida: lo que diga la ficha. El nado, si hay, es en bahía, no en Playa del Divorcio.
