🏛️

MUSA + Isla Mujeres Combo

Snorkel directly over 500 underwater sculptures at 4–8 m depth, then continue 25 min to Isla Mujeres for lunch and Playa Norte. Best for snorkelers — MUSA requires calm conditions. 6–8 hr charter. Equipment provided.

🌅

Sunset Lagoon Cruise

Depart Marina Las Perlas at 5:00 PM. Cruise the Nichupté Lagoon as the sky turns orange behind the hotel towers. 2–3 hrs with open bar option. Best for couples, anniversaries, or a low-key evening before dinner in downtown Cancun.

From $420 · 2–3 hrs

🤿

Isla Contoy Snorkeling

Mexico's most protected island — only 200 visitors per day, zero hotels, pristine reef with sea turtles and eagle rays. 1.5 hr from Cancun. CONANP permit required (~$15 USD/person). Full-day charter only. Best Nov–Apr for water clarity.

From $1,250 · Full day

💼

Corporate & Incentive Charter

Team events, client entertainment, sales kickoffs. Motor yacht (60 ft) or catamaran (52 ft) for groups of 20–50. We coordinate custom itinerary, catering, AV setup, and branded materials. Invoiced in USD. Full-day or half-day available.

From $1,600 · 4–8 hrs

This Isn't the Right Charter If...

We'd rather point you to a better option than have a frustrated client.

You want to drive the boat yourself. Mexico requires a licensed captain on all charter vessels. All Nauty 360 charters are fully crewed. Self-drive rentals exist in calmer lagoon areas — we don't offer them.

You're booking a whale shark trip in October. Whale shark season ends September 15. We won't sell you a "whale shark charter" in October — that would be a reef snorkeling trip in whale shark season's name.

Your group is 2 people and you want Isla Mujeres cheap. Ferry from Puerto Juárez runs $10 USD round-trip and takes 20 min. For 2 people, a private charter ($420+) is a luxury, not a necessity.

You need Cozumel by speedboat. Cozumel is 100 km south — a 3+ hour offshore crossing each way, not practical for a day charter. Fly AirMéxico Express ($60–80) or take the Playa del Carmen–Cozumel ferry instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a yacht charter in Cancun cost?

Charters start at $420 for a 4-hr lancha (up to 12 guests) and $680 for a full day. A 40 ft lancha — our most popular vessel for bachelorettes and birthdays — runs $750 (4 hr) or $1,250 (8 hr). Catamarans (up to 50 guests) start at $1,800 for 4 hours. All prices include bilingual captain, crew, fuel, snorkel gear, ice, and water. No platform fees.

Can I see whale sharks on a private yacht charter from Cancun?

Yes — whale shark season runs June 1 through September 15 in Mexican Caribbean waters off Isla Holbox and Isla Contoy, approximately 1.5–2 hours from Cancun. We depart at 6 AM and reach the feeding grounds by 8:30 AM. A CONANP permit is required (included in our price). Outside season, the same area offers world-class reef snorkeling and manta ray encounters.

How long does it take to get to Isla Mujeres by private yacht?

25–30 minutes from Marina Las Perlas (Km 2.5, Hotel Zone). A 4-hour charter gives you 2 full hours on Isla Mujeres. An 8-hour charter lets you explore El Centro village, swim at Playa Norte (consistently ranked top Caribbean beach), snorkel at Manchones Reef, and have lunch at a beachside restaurant before returning.

Can I book a yacht charter for a bachelorette or birthday party?

Yes — party charters are our most-booked category in Cancun. We coordinate catering (tacos, ceviche, open bar packages from $35/person), decorations, sound system, and can arrange a professional photographer to join at Isla Mujeres. Book 3–4 weeks ahead for weekend dates, 6+ weeks for Dec–Jan and spring break.

What's the best time of year for a yacht charter in Cancun?

November–April: dry season, 26–30°C water, glassy seas — ideal for offshore routes to Contoy and Holbox. June–September: whale shark season (unique experience, but afternoon storms possible — morning departures are safest). Avoid late September–October for offshore routes (peak Caribbean storm season). Bay and lagoon charters run safely year-round.
