There is no shortage of boat tours you can take in Cancun. Many of them are a lot of fun, but typically there will be other tourists on the boat at the same time. Chartering a private yacht, on the other hand, will give you the privacy you need to really enjoy boating in Cancun, and there are many options for doing so. This guide to renting a yacht in Cancun will help you plan the perfect experience for you and your friends and/or family.
Cost Of Renting A Yacht In Cancun
Yacht rental prices are going to vary greatly depending on a number of factors, most of which are listed below, but everyone likes to get a rough price range estimate before making a decision on renting a yacht. Prices start around $600 for a two-hour charter that includes snorkeling, a crew, and water and soda, for up to 15 people, but you can also charter a yacht for 10 people for four hours with an open bar and gourmet dining for as little as $1,400, so you really have to shop around for the best price.
Choosing Boat Size
There are different boat sizes to choose from, most charters typically ranging from around 47-60 feet, and the bigger the boat, the more money it will cost. For this reason, you definitely don’t want to get a bigger boat than you need for the number of people you have. The rental companies know exactly the size you need for the number of people who will be aboard, so don’t be afraid to ask if you’re unsure.
Where To Go
One of the most important things to consider when renting a yacht is where you want it to take you and there are endless options. Of course, this will greatly factor into the price so it’s important to know how far away the places are that you want to visit. Whether you are hoping to see wildlife, find somewhere secluded to enjoy the views, or plan on snorkeling, these are all things to consider when choosing a charter
Boat Amenities
Amenities are the things that the boat comes equipped with that will make your entire experience more enjoyable. The whole point of renting a yacht is to have access to more amenities, so make sure you get everything you want. Dining areas, facilities, outdoor spaces, towels, activity equipment, and cooking facilities are just a few of the things to consider.
Included Services
The included services with your yacht rental will depend on how much you want to relax, and if you don’t want to do anything, you don’t have to. While some charters come with just a crew and some beverages, others have a crew to take care of every detail, which may cost a little more, but you are on vacation after all. With good solid research of the many options out there, you’ll be surprised at what kind of great deals you can find for a fully catered experience.
The Total Package
The main thing to keep in mind when chartering a private yacht in Cancun during your vacation is that it won’t be worth it unless you get the service and amenities that you want. You might pay a little extra to get everything on your list, but it can be an experience that will last a lifetime, and that’s priceless. Researching prices and reviews will help in the search for the most memorable experience you can have chartering a yacht in Cancun.
Yacht charters can be found directly through company websites or on tour sale sites like Viator. Both are great places to start in your search for the ultimate yacht chartering experience in Cancun.
