Destination

Cancún

Private boats out of Cancún, from a 37-foot day cruiser to a 120-foot Sunseeker — built for a half-day on the water, not a shared excursion.

Price on Request

Cancún’s hotel zone is a seven-mile barrier island: open Caribbean on one side, the calm Nichupté Lagoon on the other. That second side is where a fleet like this actually lives — flat water to load guests and gear, then open sea in minutes once you clear the channel.

Isla Mujeres sits about eight miles offshore, twenty to forty-five minutes out depending on the boat, and it is the default destination for most of what we run: the beach clubs at Playa Norte, the reef around the island, and the MUSA underwater sculpture museum for anyone snorkelling rather than just sunbathing. It is close enough to be a half-day and far enough to feel like you left the hotel zone behind.

What actually separates this fleet is the boat, not the itinerary — the water on offer is largely the same regardless of which one you take. The 37 to 43-foot Sea Rays are day-charter boats: flybridge, swim platform, built for a group that wants to anchor, swim and eat rather than cover distance. The 47-foot Sea Rays add cabins below, which matters if anyone wants shade or a place to change. The Hatteras 44 is a genuine sportfisher, rigged for offshore fishing rather than a beach day — a different trip, not a bigger version of the others. The 120-foot Sunseeker is the outlier: a superyacht for a large group or an occasion, not the default booking.

Getting Around, and When to Come

Where the boats leave from

Charters here depart from the marinas along the lagoon side of the hotel zone rather than the open-ocean beach — calm water for boarding, a short run out through the cut, then open sea. Which marina depends on the boat, so we confirm the exact berth and meeting time with the operator when you book rather than leaving you to find it.

Isla Mujeres, honestly

It is the closest real island and the reason most of this fleet exists. In calm conditions it is a straightforward twenty to thirty-minute run on the larger boats; expect longer, and a rougher ride, in wind. Ferries also run from Puerto Juárez and Gran Puerto for anyone comparing options — the difference with a private charter is not the destination, it is not sharing the boat with two hundred other people.

Season, and the honest version

Hurricane season runs June to November, peaking in September and October, the same as the rest of this coast. Winter brings occasional nortes — strong northerly winds — that can make for a rough crossing or cancel a trip outright. A flexible day in the plan is worth more here than anywhere else on this coast, because open water responds to wind faster than a sheltered reef does.

Choosing between the boats

If the goal is swimming, anchoring and lunch on the water, the 37 to 43-foot Sea Rays are the right size for most groups. Want somewhere to retreat from the sun, or room for a longer day, take a 47. Going after fish rather than a beach day, the Hatteras is a different trip entirely. The Sunseeker is for a genuinely large group or an occasion, not a default choice.

Rates depend on the boat, the length of the day and the season, and what is included varies between operators — tell us the date and the group and we will come back with the real figure and exactly what it covers.

Not Quite What You Had in Mind?
