Cabo San Lucas Mega Yacht Playlist

Total Runtime Target
5 hours 0 minutes to 5 hours 10 minutes

Arc: Warm → Expansive → Playful → Anticipation → Peak → Romantic → Cinematic Close

========================

TEXTURE RULES FOR THE ENTIRE SET

No harsh transitions
No abrasive high end
No distorted festival drops
Space between vocal hooks
No radio edits
Approximately thirty percent instrumental sections
Extended blends preferred

If someone described the day afterward it should sound like "It felt like a movie", not, "It felt like a party"

Vibe: Follow the arch of the day. Cruise starts at 2pm -> open water -> achor & snorkeling -> open water -> anchor & seadooing -> open water & sunset cruise

========================

ACT I — MARINA DEPARTURE AND ARCH PHOTOS
2 00 PM to 2 30 PM
Length 30 minutes

Mood
Understated. Warm. Expensive. Effortless.

This is easing out of the marina and circling the arch. No obvious drops in the first twenty minutes. Instrumental leaning. Let it breathe.

Innerbloom type emotional pacing handled tastefully and extended.

Let tracks ride longer. Build tension gradually. Avoid tech house bounce here. This is cinematic and oceanic.

Length 60 minutes

Mood
Bright. Playful. Sunlit.
