About Cabo Rey

The caborey is the product of the creative mind of Ed Dutko, a man with a legacy of providing excellent boating tours in Mexico.

He began his career back in 1963 in Acapulco where he had originally arrived with the intent to produce a film. When the film didn't pan out, he switched gears and decided to purchase a small boat offering tours of Acapulco's many beautiful sights.

He was so successful at this, his dreams expanded. The thought occurred to him that tourists might enjoy viewing Acapulco from above. Thus, the concept of parasailing was born. He made a successfully living offering traditional boat and parasailing tours for 20 years. The enterprises he began in Acapulco continue to run successfully to this day.

Then Mr. Dutko decided to dream even bigger. He relocated with his Mexican-born wife to Cabo San Lucas, this time with the intent to build not just a boat, but a ship.

The plan was to build a luxury, triple-deck catamaran the likes of which Cabo had never seen. He choose a patch of sandy beach between the Cascadas and Villas del Palmar resorts.

The boat was nearly completed when Hurricane Juliette hit. Although this hurricane was devastating to most of Cabo, the Caborey came out smelling like roses, in spite of the fact that the construction was situated in the middle of one of Cabo's largest arroyos (a normally dry riverbed). As the raging river whipped up by Juliette rushed out to sea, it split into two as it washed past the Caborey causing it no damage whatsoever.

The boat was completed only 3 months behind schedule and was launched out to sea with much fanfare.

The fabulous Caborey is 144 feet long by 40 feet wide. It has three decks, is powered by two 400 horse power Detroit diesel engines, has two generators, and four 70 ton air conditioners.

It can hold up to 1000 people, but the passanger load is limited to 600.

The Caborey is the most spectacular, the largest and most luxurious boat in existance in Cabo San Lucas.
