Yacht charter Cancun launches from the northern tip of the Yucatán Peninsula, where the Caribbean Sea turns a luminous Tiffany blue over white‐sand flats and the Mesoamerican Reef — the second‐largest barrier reef on earth — runs just offshore past Isla Mujeres and Cozumel. Cancún’s fleet draws from more than 30 yachts across Mexican waters, including 68′–98′ motor yachts quick enough to reach Holbox by lunch, 100′+ superyachts with full toy garages, helipads, and Jacuzzis on the sundeck, and 55′+ luxury catamarans that glide over the turquoise shallows of El Meco, Isla Blanca, and the back‐reef lagoons of Puerto Morelos. The season runs November through April under steady 26–29°C trade winds, with a glittering peak from December to March when the international set decamps to Tulum, whale‐shark season opens off Isla Mujeres, and the Nichupté Lagoon fills with day yachts.
Daily rates start from $3,300/day on a luxury catamaran and from $4,900/day on a modern 68′–78′ motor yacht, plus Mexican VAT of 16% and a 30–35% APA covering fuel, provisions, and marina fees. Cancún’s defining edge is effortless variety — coral‐reef dives, jungle‐lit cenote swims, and the clifftop Maya ruins at Tulum all sit within a single afternoon’s cruise of the marina.

Above, you will find yachts available for Cancún charters from the Mexican fleet of over 30 vessels — motor yachts from 68′, superyachts above 100′, and luxury catamarans from 55′. Weekly rates start from approximately $23,000 on a catamaran and $34,000 on a modern motor yacht, plus Mexican VAT and the 30–35% APA. Filter by yacht type, guest capacity, length, or daily rate to build your shortlist, and Boatcrowd’s charter specialists can then coordinate Marina Puerto Cancún berths, reef‐diving logistics, and cenote excursions across the Riviera Maya.
December through March is Cancún’s peak, and booking eight to twelve months ahead is strongly advised — especially over Christmas, New Year’s, the Formula 1 Mexico City weekend, and Spring Break, when the most sought‐after yachts commit early. Charters in September or October, once hurricane season eases, can often be arranged with three to four months’ lead time at noticeably softer rates and with far wider fleet availability.
Yes — the Caribbean’s calm, warm, 28°C water, short sailing distances, and protected anchorages off Isla Mujeres and Puerto Morelos make this one of Mexico’s most family‐friendly cruising grounds. Most crews can organise stand‐up paddleboards, gentle snorkelling lessons on the reef, and jungle‐river swims at Xel‐Há for the younger guests on board.
Standard kit across the Cancún fleet usually includes Seabobs, paddleboards, wakeboards, inflatable slides, snorkelling gear, and a tender for beach picnics. Superyachts above 100′ frequently carry jet skis, e‐foils, dive compressors for reef diving at Cozumel, and submarine scooters for exploring the dramatic drop‐offs of the Mesoamerican Reef.
Absolutely — a popular Caribbean crossing links Cancún with Belize’s Turneffe Atoll and the Great Blue Hole across a single fortnight, or runs south along the Riviera Maya to Tulum and Mahahual. Your Boatcrowd broker handles customs clearance, routing, and provisioning on both legs of the journey.
