What the Trip Feels Like
A morning cast off from Cabo’s IGY Marina turns quickly into whale country: on a two-hour private yacht the crew runs straight for known breeding and nursery areas, closing the distance as safely as possible so passengers can watch breaches, pods and the subtler underwater songs, then gather on deck for a Mexican buffet and drinks as the boat keeps vigil.
