The Ultimate Guide to Renting a Luxury Yacht in Cancun

Jet skis have an additional cost and have to be requested with time to add them to your reservation. The cost of towing a jet ski during your whole trip is around 500 USD.
Or the captain can ride to a designated area where you can rent it and use it for 1 hour or 30 minutes for around 150 USD/hr.
IMPORTANT: For security reasons,  jet skis are now restricted in many areas around Isla Mujeres, so you can only use them in designated areas.

We recommend paying for the time of use and renting for 2 or 3 to use simultaneously.

We offer a rental of a doughnut if you want to use it with the jet ski. Great for kids and groups.

Similar to when you rent a car, you pay for time, no matter if you park it all day or run full of people.

We rent for a minimal time because moving a yacht has a high cost, and later an additional cost for the gas over time.  4 hours for medium yachts, 6 hours for bigger yachts, and 8 hours minimum on the biggest available.

All yachts have a max capacity of people aboard, prices usually is for the recommended capacity and pay extra over it to the max allowed.

No, usually hotels do not allow the use of their docks.
You would have to ask directly at your hotel, and consider that the time that the yacht takes to get to the dock starts counting from your rental time.

For example, if you rented 4 hours and the yacht takes 1 hour to get to the dock, and then 1 hour to get back from the dock to the marina, those are 2 hours that are deducted from your rental time.

We always recommend ground transportation. Moving on the water is slower than on the road, and the consumption of gas is very expensive.

We have Yachts Available at 1 mile (https://goo.gl/maps/aW38ioBEKV22) or 3 miles (https://maps.app.goo.gl/nqPL8pP3Q4SGV9vo6 ) from the hotel area of Playa Mujeres and Costa Mujeres.

Snorkeling at Cancun is at the El Meco area for yachts. To snorkel at the MUSA, a small boat with a permit is required, which has an additional cost.
Snorkeling at the sunken boat is available.

You can rent an electric Seabob, the personal scooter, to snorkel around the yacht.

Yes, of course, that is possible, but the fee for using the dock does not include.

It is around 30 USD (600 MXN) per yacht on several piers; others charge 10 dollars per person,  and if you stop at a restaurant, they don’t charge if you have lunch there. It can be paid in cash or by card.  Places to Stop are Muelle Lima, Muelle 7,  Bartolome, Muelle Vazquez, Lancheros, Mocambo, and others.

Yes, you can disembark from a private yacht or a tour boat to explore Isla Mujeres. While you can’t leave from your hotel directly, if it has a pier and allows you to board there, or you can take your yacht to a marina in Cancun, where you can board a connecting boat to the island. Alternatively, you can take an official ferry and then rent a golf cart or find other transportation to explore the island’s beaches, shops, and sites

Half Day means 4 hrs, and Full Day means 8 hours.
To visit Isla Mujeres and do activities of snorkeling, it is necessary to spend 6 hours, 4 hours is a short time to cross and back with several stops to swim or snorkel.
Extra hours will be charged separately.

Time starts running from the moment the rental is agreed on.
The yacht can sail around Cancun or straight to Isla Mujeres, stop at a snorkeling spot, and then stop at a calm beach so you can enjoy, or get down to the island.

Light sportswear, swimming suit, towels, walking shoes, hat, camera & suntan lotion (ecological please).

The climate is very changeable, it can be cloudy for a few minutes and after a while sunny.
In addition, since the walk is in Isla Mujeres, the marine climate allows the sky to be clear most of the time.
It has to be very bad weather for several days for it to be canceled, and that happens rarely, and it is already planned a day before.

The services offered are the same, whether you reserve directly with Magic-Sea, Eduardo, or Karen, or if you go through an agency like Getmyboat.com, Tripadvisor.com, or Clickandboat.com.
But if you do it directly, you save the commission over sites that work as an Airbnb of boats and yachts.

For hotels (like Majestic, Attire, Secrets, Garza Blanca, Dreams, Excellence, Finest, Palladium, and Planet Hollywood) in the area of Costa Mujeres (Playa Mujeres or the continental side of Isla Mujeres) the place closest to aboard is Marina at punta Sam or Marina La Amada or Yacht Fun at Playa Mujeres. 

Sea Ray Yacht FUN 55ft has a large sunbed on the front, and sofas on the fly bridge.

SeaRay has a large bed of both, but for 3 or 4 people, any boat is fine.
SeaRay 55FT has a floating bed to lie over the water.

But we have Catamarans with a ned on the front for a large group or bigger yachts too.

If you believe that the weather is not fine for you, we can cancel it one day before without a problem

At Isla Mujeres, the water is very calm every time, there are places to stop there and swim   (as you see on videos)

Sometimes, crossing to Isla (20 min ) has a crosswind.

The Searay yacht rolls a little more than the Carver yacht or the Azimut with a stabilizer. Catamarans have more stabilization against the waves.

We recommend bringing a seasick pill (Dramamine or similar) to take 1 hr before departure. Only a few people seek, but if you believe it is possible, take it; seeking is  useless.

Isla Contoy can be visited only on a tour. It is a National reserve, and Yachts are not allowed to dock there.
You can turn around, but if you want to stop and walk, we can arrange a boat to do it (with an extra cost).

We recommend 2 or 3-day tours for up to 8 people to Isla Holbox or Isla Cozumel.

This activity has a season from May 15th to Sep 15th and is restricted to small boats with a special license (similar to Isla Contoy).

We can arrange it if you want a combination of a Yacht and whale shark tour.

Reservations are required at least one day in advance.
What you did not know is that whale sharks are a cartilaginous fish, so called because their skeleton is made of cartilage that is not enhanced by the minerals that make bones. These minerals are present only in the teeth and skin. The class includes sharks, sawfish, rays, and chimaeras.

The problem with large groups on a luxury yacht is that the number of people is incompatible with the size of the yacht; the maximum capacity is 40 people.

Given the cost of the vessels and the potential for damage, large group trips are not offered on luxury yachts.

For this reason, boats for larger parties are simpler, without many decorations, upholstery, or amenities that could be easily damaged.

Furthermore, catamarans offer a more tranquil ride and access to shallower waters due to their stability.

On a large 100-foot yacht, getting in and out of the water is difficult, and this problem is exacerbated by the large number of people on board.

It’s common to see parties on very luxurious yachts in movies. If the yacht owner is throwing a party, they won’t be concerned about the behavior of their guests; it’s their risk and decision. However, this is very important when chartering the yacht.

Most yacht rentals do not include dock fees (typically $10–20 USD per person) and crew gratuity (recommended 15–20%). Always confirm this before booking.

Usually, a 30% deposit is required to block the date, and the balance is paid at departure.

We offer round-trip transportation on a private van or Bus for groups.
Only in a few casas is it possible to pick up at the hotel pier, usually in Isla Mujeres; many homes have a pier.
It is not legal to pick up at the beach or at a pier not assigned by the authorities.

Each boat has an assigned pier where the license authorizes passengers to board.
On several yachts, pickup is possible at different locations.
It is necessary to check this before renting and to estimate the transportation time and cost from your hotel or Airbnb.

Bigger boats do not mean that they are suitable for more people. The mega yachts are more luxurious options and, in this case, are restricted by the owner because these boats are not for a party like in a movie.
