CABO’S LUXURY
Yacht
EXPERIENCE
Two entrepreneurs, Dr. John Henner and Mr.
Dan Mason, have brought a new level of luxury to the waters of Los Cabos, Mexico. Situated on the southern coast of Mexico’s Baja California Sur peninsula, Cabo is one of the world’s most sought-after tourist destinations, welcoming more than three million visitors each year. Individually, both men bought homes in Cabo del Sol in 2018 as a place to vacation. However, after meeting, ironically enough, on a yacht, the duo would join forces as business partners to found Cabo Yacht Charters. Dr. John Henner handles the backend infrastructure. A retired Air Force doctor and former owner of Las Vegas’ largest emergency medicine company, John fell in love with Los Cabos after honeymooning there with his wife in 1999. Since then, it became a dream of his to live there and charter yachts; a dream which has finally come true. When asked about his transition from doctor to yachtsman, he smiles.
“In the medical field, I would often meet people on the worst day of their lives. Yachting allows me to give people the best day of their lives.” Dan Mason provides the vision and passion for Cabo Yacht Charters. fter twenty-five years of success in the funeral industry, Dan is delighted to be channeling his energy into a new maritime enterprise. His vast network of high-net-worth connections has helped make Cabo Yacht Charters the go-to company for Baja luxury hospitality. “My wife and I had been chartering yachts two or three times a month, and we weren’t overly impressed with the quality of the experience. So, we decided to buy our own. I partnered up with John, and the rest is history.” Their first puch r ase, the 80ft Italian zimut dubbed ‘Heather Nikki’, can accommodate up to twenty passengers. It has four bedrooms, a large salon, and plenty of outdoor space to boot. The other ships in the fleet include the 100ft ‘Number Juan’, and the 108 ft ‘Neoprene’. Dan and John are looking to purchase a 60ft vessel in the near future to provide more versatility and an approachable price point for their clientele. The second ship, ‘Number Juan’, bears the name of another business Dr. John Henner co-owns, Number Juan Tequila - an award-winning tequila company grown i the rich & fertile blue agave fields of Jalisco, Mexico.
