Best Private SailBoat Charters in Cancun

The city of Cancun is located on the northeast coast of Quintana Roo in southern México, more than 1,700 km away from Mexico City. It is one of the most renowned tourist destinations in Mexico. Most resorts are located in a strip known as the Hotel Zone. Restaurants, shopping malls, golf courses; it all comes together for you. No doubt Cancun features some of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean. During the spring and into summer the temperatures average the 90’s. The best months to visit Cancun if you want to avoid rainfall and spend every minute sunbathing are from February to April. A visit to the Mexican Caribbean is not perfect unless you spend sometime out in the open ocean on your own sailboat!

Now picture this: you are in the middle of the ocean. The sea extends everywhere you look. You look up and you see a clear sky and feel how your sking is getting tanned by a soft sunshine. You look down and in evrey direction you see nothing but crisp blue water amd vibrantly colored tropical fish and corals. That’s something you’d see in a movie, maybe in your dreams and for sure in Cancun. The golden sands and the warm and crystal clear waters of the Caribbean are irresistible. Those who love sailing will totally fall inlove with Cancun.

Sailing tours are not uncommon in a tourist city like this one. Tours are interesting indeed. No doubt there has to be a reason leading people to pay for going on a sailing tour or any kind of tour at all. Though, these visits are something I’d define as a series of structured events that get repeated over and over again. The speech is always the same. There’s probably a guide trying to be nice to everybody although he or she may feel some people are totally irritating -especially when a hot spot is reached and all of a sudden the poor thing is forgotten by the crowd and everyone starts snapping shots all around. Don’t get me wrong. I love tours and think they’re the best, and sometimes only way you can really learn about places you’re visiting. However, when it comes to sailing the Caribbean Sea, I’d hate someone telling me “Ok, folks. This is a 40 minute break. See some fish, swim for a while and come back ‘cause we’re moving on.” Renting a private boat is the solution to that. You can rent one for as long as you want, hours a day, two: You choose. If you’re an expert and know how to sail, you can choose a bareback rental. If that’s not the case, most companies include sailing crew (at least one person) for your comfort.

Sailing off in the sunrise is ideal so you can fully enjoy the day offshore. You can go on a private sailboat, yacht, catamaran or even cruise ship. It depends on how big your party is and what you want to do.

If you’re only two, looking for a romantic getaway,sunset or moonlight cruises rank TOP 1 in the couples preferences. Have you ever imagined a more beautiful scenario for proposing to your loved one?

A family looking for some fun time together could take a private dive boat and choose any of the reefs in Cancun. Those who don’t enjoy diving can snorkel (equipment for both activities is usually included) or just stay on board enjoying a beer or a soda. Family reunions are very popular in Cancun private charters. If your party is big, renting a private sailboat or yacht can turn into a very economical option for this kind of gatherings! Meals, refreshments and snacks are included and, for some more money, you can ask for diving and snorkeling equipment.

Groups of friends, usually youngsters, go on booze and dinner sailing tours. However, i would not recommend combining a trip like that with snorkeling or diving. Deep sea sport fishing is another smart choice. Cancun yacht charters are also popular for other kinds of activities, like corporate team building events and company retreats. In these case, the same company you rent your private boat from will organise activities for the group on land.

The views of the Caribbean are stunning and that’s what leads many couples to choose a private cruise for their wedding rehearsal dinner or even for their wedding reception! Luxury yachts are the choice for these kind of events. Everything you need for the perfect party is served on board. In my own view, there could be no more special and romantic wedding than this one!

In an around Cancun, lots of private charter companies offer these and more trips for the number of hours or days you choose. As I said before, all choices include on board crew members (although you can ask for no crew if you don’t need any) that will give total and personal attention to you. Wear sunscreen, be safe and enjoy some time offshore in the crystal clear waters of Cancun.
