Mega Yacht Rentals in Cancun

What sets a mega yacht apart

Length brings space, and space changes the day. A yacht of 100 ft or more has several decks: a main saloon with air conditioning, an upper deck or sky lounge, a flybridge, a large aft deck and a wide swim platform. There are cabins for changing or resting, more than one bathroom, and a full galley. The guests spread out instead of sharing one deck, which is why a mega yacht for 20 feels quieter than a smaller yacht for 20.

The mega yachts in Cancun

The Cancun fleet has a small number of yachts of 100 ft and up, from builders such as Azimut, Heesen and Sunseeker, the largest at 120 ft. Several of them leave from the marinas north of the city, at Playa Mujeres and on the Puerto Juárez side, close to Isla Mujeres. Amenities listed on the largest include a jacuzzi on deck, a chef, a bartender, a tour guide, kayaks and a full kitchen. The card lists what each yacht carries, and its guest limit.

What you can book on a mega yacht

The Isla Mujeres day, done slowly: the short crossing from the northern marinas, a long anchorage off Playa Norte, the jacuzzi and the kayaks, lunch from the galley, and the run past Punta Sur. The route is on the Isla Mujeres yacht trip from Cancun. A milestone birthday or anniversary for family. A client day for a few important guests. A proposal with room for the family to celebrate after. A sunset on the bay with dinner on deck.

What the charter includes

Each boat card is the price for the hours you choose, with the captain, the crew and the fuel. The crew on a mega yacht is larger: the captain, deckhands, and on some yachts a chef, a bartender or a guide. Water, sodas and ice are aboard; the card lists the rest. Catering, decorations, a photographer and transfers are arranged on request, priced on the booking page; see Cancun yacht services.

How many guests

The mega yachts in Cancun take 15 to 20 guests, the same as many smaller yachts, because the limit is set per boat, not by length alone. A larger group, of 25 to 50, is better on one of the big catamarans or motor yachts listed on Cancun large group yacht rentals.

A day on a mega yacht, hour by hour

A day from a northern marina might run like this. Board at ten, with drinks on the aft deck while the crew casts off. Cross to Isla Mujeres, a short run from the northern marinas when the sea is calm. Anchor off Playa Norte: swim, kayak, the jacuzzi on deck. Lunch at the table in the saloon or on the shaded aft deck. A slow run along the island to the cliffs at Punta Sur. Back at the dock in the late afternoon. The captain adjusts the order to the wind.

Booking and paying

Mega yacht dates go first, especially dry-season weekends and holiday weeks. Pick the yacht and the hours, then hold the date. A 50% deposit paid online holds the boat; the balance is paid in person on the day. For yachts from about 55 to 99 ft, see luxury yacht rentals in Cancun.
