Review · CANCUN YACHT CRUISES
Cancun Private 60FT Yachts Rental for up to 20 People
A private yacht changes the day. This Cancun outing gives your group its own 60-foot boat, crew, music, cold drinks, and room to enjoy the Caribbean at your own pace. I especially like the flat group price for up to 15 people and the choice between swimming near Cancun, snorkeling, visiting Isla Mujeres, or watching the sunset on Nichupté Lagoon.
I also like that the boat works for several kinds of trips. Families can use the float mat and swim, while birthday groups can turn the four-hour cruise into a proper celebration. The main catch is the extra $14-per-person marina fee, and alcohol, food, photography, and other add-ons cost more.
The advertised price is $670 per group, based on up to 15 people, with longer or shorter rental options available. With a full group, the cost can be good value for a private boat. With only a few people, the price feels much harder to justify.
Key Points Before You Book

- Private 60-foot yacht: Your group has the boat to itself, with a captain and crew rather than sharing the trip with strangers.
- Four hours gives you the best outing: This is the option that allows time for swimming, snorkeling, and a possible Isla Mujeres stop.
- Two hours stays closer to Cancun: The short trip does not include Isla Mujeres or snorkeling, but it visits Cancun Bay.
- Up to 15 people are covered in the listed rate: The title refers to groups of up to 20, so confirm the exact price and capacity for your party before paying.
- Bring your own alcohol budget: Water, soft drinks, and ice are included, but alcoholic drinks are not.
- The crew gets strong marks: Captain Adrian, Johnny, Marco, and Captain Mario are named in especially positive feedback about service and celebrations.
What the $670 Yacht Rental Really Buys
The listed price is $670 per group for up to 15 people. That works out to about $45 per person if you fill every place, before the marina fee. Add the $14-per-person dock charge, and the total becomes roughly $59 per person for a full group, not counting food, alcohol, or optional extras.
That is a fairer deal than it first appears if you have a large family or group of friends. A private boat gives you control over the music, swimming breaks, and general mood of the day. You are not adapting to a boatload of unrelated people, and you can make the outing part of a birthday, anniversary, or family gathering.
For a small group, the math changes. Four or five people would still pay the group rate, so a shared boat could cost less. This experience makes the most financial sense for a large party that wants privacy and a celebratory setting.
The rental includes air conditioning, safety equipment, ice, soft drinks, water, and music. The captain and mates are included too. You pay extra for alcoholic drinks, and the $14 marina fee applies per person. Food, cake, and professional photographs may also be available as add-ons, but I would confirm exactly what is included before ordering.
One warning comes from a poor experience involving catering and a cake. The food and cake add-ons were described as disappointing, with a missing order and a badly written cake message. That does not cancel out the many positive service reports, but it does suggest that you should confirm every add-on, spelling, quantity, and delivery detail in writing.

Starting at Cenzontle 13 in Cancun’s Hotel Zone

The meeting point is Cenzontle 13 on Kukulcan Boulevard in Cancun’s Zona Hotelera. The activity returns to the same meeting point, so you do not need to arrange a separate pickup location at the end.
The operator confirms the booking at the time of reservation. The location is near public transportation, and service animals are allowed. Most people can take part, though the experience naturally involves getting on a boat, swimming, and moving around on deck.
Arrive with enough time to handle the marina charge and get your group organized. The supplied details do not state that hotel transfers are included. Some parties arranged transfers through the operator, but you should ask about that before booking rather than assuming it is part of the rate.
Bring swimwear, sun protection, and a dry place for phones. Snorkeling gear is included for the trips that offer snorkeling. The boat has air conditioning, but the most memorable part of the day is likely to be outside on the water.
Choosing Two, Four, or Six Hours

You can select a two-hour, four-hour, or six-hour rental. The four-hour trip is the clearest choice for a full yacht day because it allows time for cruising, swimming, snorkeling, and a possible visit to Isla Mujeres.
The two-hour option is more limited. It does not go to Isla Mujeres and does not include snorkeling. Instead, it visits Cancun Bay, which still offers a scenic trip over the clear Caribbean water. This shorter rental may suit you if you want a quick private cruise, a simple celebration, or a taste of the yacht experience without giving up half a day.
The six-hour rental gives your group more time, but the supplied information does not spell out a separate six-hour route. Ask what additional stops or activities are planned before choosing it. More time on the boat is useful, but only if the itinerary matches what your group wants.
For most parties, I would choose four hours. Two hours can feel brief once everyone boards, settles in, swims, and takes photographs. Six hours may be too long for young children or anyone who does not want a full day under the sun.
Cruising the Turquoise Water

The main pleasure here is simple: your group gets a private boat on the Caribbean. The water around Cancun is described as bright blue and turquoise, and the boat gives you a comfortable platform for taking in the coast from offshore.
The crew provides music, so the mood can suit a birthday, anniversary, or relaxed family afternoon. You can bring alcoholic drinks, but they are not included. Ice, soft drinks, and water are provided, which removes some of the basic packing work.
The boat has air conditioning, a useful feature in Cancun’s heat. Safety equipment is included, and a captain and mates remain with the group. Positive experiences consistently highlight attentive crew service, especially for families with children and groups celebrating important occasions.
Still, this is a yacht rental, not a guided cultural tour. You are paying for time on the water, privacy, crew service, and access to swimming and snorkeling locations. If you want detailed commentary about Cancun’s history or marine life, that is not promised here.

Swimming, Snorkeling, and the Isla Mujeres Option
The four-hour outing can include swimming and snorkeling. Snorkeling equipment is included, which is convenient for a group that does not want to rent gear separately. The experience also includes a float mat, according to family feedback, giving children and less confident swimmers another way to enjoy the water.
The Isla Mujeres stop is one of the strongest reasons to choose the longer trip. A party of nine described the stop as beautiful, while another group praised the blue water and the boat trip to the island. The island visit gives the cruise a destination rather than making the entire experience an open-water ride.
The exact timing of the stop is not provided, so do not assume you will have hours to explore Isla Mujeres on foot. Ask the operator how long the boat spends there and whether the stop is for swimming, sightseeing, or going ashore.
Families should pay attention to the swimming setup. One group with three children under nine had a good time with the crew and float mat. That points to a family-friendly atmosphere, but parents remain responsible for watching children around the water.
The two-hour trip does not include snorkeling or Isla Mujeres. If those are your priorities, book four hours or longer.
A Crew That Helps Make the Occasion

The strongest part of this experience is the service. Captain Adrian, Johnny, and Marco received particular praise after a 40th birthday celebration. Another family said the crew took good care of three young children, while a separate group described the staff as friendly, attentive, and helpful.
Captain Mario appears in the operator responses and personally followed up with several parties. That gives you a useful name to remember when communicating before the trip, though the specific crew assigned to your date may differ.
The staff also helped one party recover sunglasses left in a taxi by returning them the next day. That is a small detail, but it suggests a helpful attitude beyond the time spent on the boat.
You should still keep expectations realistic. Crew service can make a party feel special, but it does not guarantee that every add-on will be perfect. The catering and cake complaint shows why it is wise to confirm extras carefully and inspect them when delivered.
Food, Drinks, Music, and Optional Extras

Water, soft drinks, and ice are included. Alcohol is not, so plan to purchase or bring your preferred drinks according to the operator’s rules. The supplied details do not list a specific alcohol package or menu.
Several successful celebrations arranged food and alcohol through the operator. One party praised the food and service, and another recommended purchasing food and beverage packages. These positive experiences suggest that add-ons can work well, but the mixed cake and catering experience means you should not order blindly.
Ask for the exact food menu, serving size, price, and delivery time. If you are ordering a cake, send the wording in writing and confirm the final spelling. A yacht birthday can be a wonderful setting, but a missing food item or poor cake inscription can sour an otherwise good day.
Music is included, which is useful for a party. The listing does not specify the sound system or whether you can control the playlist, so ask if music matters to your group.
Professional photography may also be available. It can be worthwhile for a milestone celebration, especially if everyone wants group photographs without asking one person to stay behind the camera. Again, confirm the number of photos and delivery method before purchase.
Who Will Enjoy This Private Cruise Most

I would recommend this rental most strongly to:
- Large families who want privacy and an easy day on the water
- Birthday, anniversary, and reunion groups
- Friends who want music, swimming, drinks, and their own schedule
- Families with children who can enjoy the float mat and supervised boat setting
- Groups that value service and a private atmosphere more than a low per-person price
It is less suited to solo visitors, couples, or very small groups on a tight budget. The flat rate is designed for a crowd.
It may also disappoint you if you expect a detailed guided tour, a guaranteed long visit on Isla Mujeres, or an all-inclusive food and alcohol package. Those features are either not included or need separate confirmation.
The experience is rated 4.8 out of 5, with 95 percent of customers recommending it. That is a strong record, while the catering complaint is a useful reminder to separate the boat rental itself from optional services.
Weather, Cancellations, and Practical Timing
The activity requires good weather. If poor weather forces cancellation, you are offered another date or a full refund.
You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the start time. Inside that 24-hour window, the payment is not refunded, and changes are not accepted. The cutoff follows Cancun local time.
The tour is booked an average of 47 days ahead, which is a helpful clue for planning. Large groups, birthday parties, and preferred times can fill early. If your dates are fixed, booking well before your visit makes sense.
Should You Book the Cancun Yacht Rental?
Book it if you have a group large enough to share the cost and you want a private celebration on the Caribbean. The crew service, air-conditioned boat, included drinks and ice, snorkeling equipment, and Isla Mujeres option give the four-hour trip a strong mix of comfort and activity.
Choose four hours if you want the fullest experience. Pick two hours only if Cancun Bay is enough and you do not need snorkeling or Isla Mujeres. Consider six hours after asking for the exact route.
I would book the yacht itself with confidence, but I would handle food, cake, alcohol, photography, and transfers with extra care. Confirm the marina fee, group capacity, add-on details, and route before paying. For a full group celebrating a birthday or family milestone, this can be one of the better ways to turn a day in Cancun into a shared memory.
