Which Yacht to Charter in Cancún for Your Group Size

- First
- How many are coming on board, not counting the crew
- Options
- 5 yachts, from 2 to 25 guests
- Always included
- Crew, towels, life jackets, drinks and ice; snacks on every yacht but the Four Winns 26'
- Private
- The yacht and the crew are for your group only
First, count everyone
It is the first thing we ask on WhatsApp, and not as a formality: every yacht has a guest limit, and that number does not stretch at sea. Count everyone who is coming on board. The crew does not count toward the total.
Once the number is clear, the list of yachts narrows by itself. What is left is choosing by the kind of day you want.
Just the two of you
An anniversary, a honeymoon or just because. A whole catamaran for two: the Leopard 51' has a galley, an air-conditioned saloon and twin hulls that barely rock.
Up to 8 guests
Trick, a 26-foot Four Winns, is the quickest way out to sea: a sun pad, JL sound, a shower and a platform to swim from. For a small group that wants sun, water and speed.
9 to 12 guests
Two ways to go here. The Sea Ray 47' is the middle of the fleet: a bow sun pad, an air-conditioned saloon and a hydraulic swim platform. It works very well for families.
The Sunseeker 64' is a British sport yacht with a black hull, a teak deck and JL sound with Bluetooth for the group's playlist. It is the one friend groups ask for.
13 to 25 guests
The Azimut 80' is the largest yacht in the fleet and takes up to 20 guests: three levels so the group can spread out, with a flybridge up top, an air-conditioned saloon in the middle and a stern right at the water. It is the one you pick when there is something to celebrate or guests to host.
The Leopard 51' takes up to 25 guests at a different pace: plenty of flat deck and a steady boat. There is more than one Leopard 51' in the fleet, so it is usually the easiest yacht to book in high season.
If you are more than 25, message us with the date and the exact number before you split the group or drop the idea. We will tell you what can be done for that day.
After the number, what matters to you
First the number; then the kind of day you want.
| If you want… | Go for |
|---|---|
| Room to host and impress | Azimut 80' |
| Music, sun and speed | Sunseeker 64' |
| Kids on board, with shade, air conditioning and a platform into the water | Sea Ray 47' or Leopard 51' |
| A boat that barely rocks | Leopard 51' |
What comes on every yacht
Whichever you choose, the yacht and the crew are for your group only, and already on board you have:
- Professional crew
- Towels and life jackets
- Water, sodas and beer
- Ice
- Snacks, except on the Four Winns 26'
Private chef, open bar, DJ, SeaBob and water toys are extras confirmed in your proposal.
Questions we get
- How do I choose the yacht?
- Tell us how many you are, what you are celebrating and what matters most: space, speed or comfort. We recommend one and, when it is worth it, an alternative.
- Does the crew count toward the number of guests?
- No. Count everyone who is coming on board; the crew does not count toward the total.
- Which yacht is best with kids?
- The Sea Ray 47' or the Leopard 51' catamaran: both have shade, air conditioning and a platform into the water. With twin hulls, the Leopard rocks less.
- Is the yacht only for our group?
- Yes. The yacht and the crew are only for your group. You do not share with anyone.
