Private catamarans and motor yachts departing from Cancun's Hotel Zone. Isla Mujeres, Holbox, Cozumel and open Caribbean. Captain, snorkel gear and water always included. Book direct — no platform fees, reply in 30 minutes.
Most "private yacht" listings in Cancun are actually shared catamaran tours with 40–60 strangers, repackaged as private experiences on aggregator sites. A genuinely private charter means your group — nobody else — on a vessel sized for your party, with a captain following your itinerary, not a fixed tour route.
Nauty 360's Cancun fleet operates from the Hotel Zone's main marinas — Marina Las Perlas (Km 2.5) and Marina Chac Chi (Km 3.2) — putting you in the water within 5 minutes of most Hotel Zone hotels. No shared buses, no pre-assigned departure slots, no tour groups.
Every charter includes a licensed Mexican captain, fuel for the standard route, ice, water, and basic snorkel gear. Cancun's Caribbean waters offer visibility of 15–30 meters at Isla Mujeres reefs — better than most tropical destinations in the Americas.
All rates include licensed captain, fuel for standard route, snorkel gear, ice and water. Prices are for the full vessel — not per person.
| Vessel | Guests | 4 Hours | 7–8 Hours (Full Day) | Best Route |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Motor Yacht 40–46 ft | 6–12 | $1,200–$1,800 | $2,000–$3,200 | Isla Mujeres, snorkeling |
| Catamaran 50–55 ft | up to 25 | $1,800–$2,800 | $3,000–$5,000 | Isla Mujeres full day, Holbox |
| Luxury Catamaran 60+ ft | up to 40 | $2,800–$4,500 | $4,500–$7,500 | Cozumel, Holbox overnight |
| Motor Yacht 60–70 ft | up to 30 | $3,000–$5,500 | $5,000–$9,000 | Any route, corporate events |
A shared catamaran tour to Isla Mujeres in Cancun runs $65–$120 per person. For a group of 15, that totals $975–$1,800 — for a shared experience with 45 other tourists, a fixed route, and no flexibility. A private 50 ft catamaran for the same 15 people costs $1,800–$2,800 for 4 hours. At 15+ guests, private is the same price or cheaper per person, with a fully private vessel and custom itinerary. The break-even point is typically 12–14 guests.
Route selection depends on charter duration. Your captain advises on conditions the morning of departure — Caribbean weather can shift, and flexibility is the advantage of a private charter.
25 minutes from Hotel Zone marinas. Turquoise shallow bays, reef snorkeling at El Farito, and the quiet north beach at Playa Norte. The most popular half-day route from Cancun. Anchor and swim, then explore the island on foot if time allows.
UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, no cars, pink flamingo lagoons, and bioluminescent waters at night. 2–2.5 hours by sea from Cancun. Whale shark season June–September brings the world's largest fish to Holbox's waters — visible from the vessel.
World-class drift diving and snorkeling on the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef — second largest reef system on Earth. 45 minutes to 1 hour from Cancun by motor yacht. Palancar reef wall drops to 30+ meters. Clear visibility most of the year.
Uninhabited national park — only 200 visitors allowed per day. Frigate bird colony, pristine beaches with no facilities, and excellent snorkeling. Permits required (your captain handles this). A rarer destination than Isla Mujeres with far fewer crowds.
The Cancun Underwater Museum (MUSA) — 500 submerged sculptures on the seafloor at 4–8 meters depth. Snorkeling accessible without diving certification. Located between the Hotel Zone and Isla Mujeres, 15 minutes from marina. One of the most unique snorkeling experiences in the Caribbean.
Cruise along the Hotel Zone coastline and out past Punta Cancun at golden hour. The Cancun skyline at sunset from the water is a dramatically different view than any beach photo. Minimum 2-hour charter. Popular for anniversaries and honeymoons.
