Sail with your group to turquoise ocean between Cancun
and Isla Mujeres
This is a description of suggested Itinerary but
places visited and sequence may vary due to weather conditions, wind
direction, waves and tides.
Upon arrival into Cancun’s international airport, you will meet our shuttle
to take you on a 25 minute ride to our departure base located at Marina
Hacienda del Mar, in the north of Cancun. At five o’clock we welcome you
aboard with a cocktail as we get to know each other and discuss the plan for
the coming days.
Day One:
After a light breakfast we begin our first sail for Boca Iglesias. Around
the ocean side of Contoy Island, on the way we’ll enjoy some fishing in
hopes of securing a ‘catch of the day’. Upon arriving at Boca Iglesias we’ll
view the ruins of a 16th century Spanish Colonial Church, where in 1523
Francisco Montejo Jr. led an expedition ashore and was attacked by the local
Maya. To reach the ruins will be a day of adventure, but prior to our
arrival we stop to snorkel in search of octopus and lobster. After lunch on
board we start our journey to the Church.
To reach the abandoned site of Boca Iglesias we navigate through the
mangroves and walk through a dense jungle. During the hike, keep your eyes
to the trees which are home to the local spider monkeys. Following our
excursion we return to the yacht for a relaxing dinner and cocktails.
Day Two:
In the morning, we set sail to the island of Cayo Sucio (Dirty Cay). We
break up this two hour sail with a stop at Coco Reef for some amazing
snorkeling. Upon arrival at Cayo Sucio, our crew will prepare lunch while
you can explore in the sea kayak or swim and snorkel nearby. Today, After
lunch we invite you to relax on the beach or snorkel just off the coast
where you may encounter a wide variety of sea life including turtles and
manta rays. These waters are also a popular location for whale shark
viewing! One of the largest living fish species, the whale shark is a gentle
giant and poses no danger to snorkelers and divers. They do offer a
spectacular photo opportunity and can be a definite highlight of the day’s
activities
Day Three:
We awake to the smell of fresh coffee and enjoy a delicious breakfast prior
to our sail to Isla Mujeres, ‘The Island of Women’. The story of Isla
Mujeres provides a colorful history which explains how the island got it’s
name. In 1517, when the Spanish expedition led by Francisco Hernandez
Cordova, landed here they discovered a stone temple filled with female
shaped Mayan idols. These idols represented the goddess Ixchel, the goddess
of fertility. Today, Isla Mujeres has earned the reputation of being the
region’s more laid back and relaxing island offering a quaint little
downtown with local shops, beautiful beaches and restaurants.
During this 2 hour sail to Isla Mujeres, we stop for a quick dip and some
snorkeling before we arrive at Villa Vera Marina. Here we hop on a golf cart
for a tour of the island, stopping to take in the sights of downtown
followed by lunch back on the catamaran. After an afternoon of sailing
around the island and exploring the beaches, we head back to the marina and
enjoy cocktails prior to dinner ashore and exploring the entertainment
options of downtown Isla Mujeres.
Day Four:
After breakfast we set sail south navigating the bay waters and the coral
reef stopping on the way to enjoy the spectacular snorkeling in the waters
of “El Angel Reef” and the sunken shipwreck of “Triunfador”, then we sail
back to Cancun and our home base at Hacienda del Mar Marina where we say our
goodbyes and exchange emails to share our wonderful photos and memories of
an unforgettable vacation.

A Comfortable Occupancy:
Each of our Lagoon 440s have a charter layout featuring four cabins and four

manage and offer the personal attention necessary for everyone.
Abundant headroom throughout:
The vertical, wrap around windows, which have become the signature for
Lagoon, not only provide excellent visibility from both inside and in the
rear cockpit, it also provides superior headroom throughout the main salon.

Common Questions:
- How much physical activity is involved in a crewed sailing vacation?
Our trips can be best described as light adventure and suited best for those in
good physical condition. Because we anchor at night and rarely pull up to docks
other than at marinas, boarding and disembarking the boat is primarily done via
dinghy. There is some physical activity and dexterity required in doing this.
For a large portion of the time, our guests are swimming and climbing in and out
of the water from the catamarans swim ladder. The dinghy is used to take guests
into shore at the various stops.
- Will I be on a cataraman with people I don’t know?
When you book a stateroom on one of our vessels, we ask that you complete a
charter preference sheet which outlines the types of activities that you like to
participate in and the type of experience you would most like your trip to be.
We use this information to combine like guests when at all possible.
Our crew are all very in tune with ensuring that individual personalities mesh
while on the boat and will do their very best to make certain each guests needs
are met. Rarely do we experience problems and most often our guests enjoy their
fellow mates and become close friends by the end of the week.
- Will I get sea sick?
The longest sail that we would do during any one day would be 3- 4 hours and
this is only in certain portions of the trip. The majority of the time we are
sailing short distances (30 – 45 minutes) from point to point, in very well
protected waters. We never sail at night and plan our itineraries to be at ideal
anchorages well before dark. Because of the two hulls on the catamaran, the
experience is very comfortable and there is very little motion in the evenings
other than a gentle rocking. If you do have tendencies for getting sea sick, our
crew have the perfect cure to ensure it is remedied as quickly as possible. We
do however recommend bringing medication with you as well.
- How should I plan my flight arrangements?
Plan your flight arrangements according to your charters departure date. For
specific details visit the corresponding section of this site and click on
arrival information. You will board the yacht at 5pm the first night of your
charter and depending on guest arrival times, we may not sail until the morning
following your arrival. You disembark the yacht at 12 pm on the last day of your
charter.
- How should we pack for my sailing vacation?
When packing, keep in mind that storage space is limited. Soft-sided luggage is
required as all luggage will need to be stored in the boat along with your
personal items. Casual and breezy beach attire is certainly the order of the day
on deck. Please avoid packing small appliances such as hairdryers and irons as
these items will not be necessary. For evening attire slacks or a sundress is
appropriate for the nights ashore. Shorts and t-shirts are also fine for dining
ashore. While aboard the yacht, no shoes are worn. You will want to have a pair
of shoes/flip flops for the night ashore. You may also find aquatic shoes
convenient for beachcombing. Be certain to bring along plenty of protection from
the sun. Suntan lotion is highly recommended as well as wide-brimmed hats or
sailing caps, and loose-fitting cotton cover-ups. A windbreaker jacket is nice
to have for cool evenings during certain times of the year and something that is
water resistant is also recommended. All bath and beach towels are provided.
- Will I be able to order special diet menus or request favorite beverages?
Once your charter is confirmed, the preference sheet will ask for specific
details relating to your meals and beverages during your charter. Each charter
comes with a standard stocked bar featuring liquors, soft drinks, wine and local
beers.
The menu featured is set in advance with a wide variety of meals. We do ask that
you notify us of any allergies or special dietary requirements which can be
accommodated by our crew.
- Which meals are not included?
The meal plan on the yacht includes 2 dinners, 2 lunches and 3 breakfasts. There
is one night when dining is ashore on your own or as a group. Your Captain will
be able to help you in choosing the best spots.
- What activities are included in the sailing vacation and which have an
additional fee?
All of the equipment for the aboard activities are provided on the yacht such as
sea kayaks, snorkeling fins/masks and swim floats. Your preference sheet will
ask for details specific to your needs.
If you are interested in diving while on charter, we can arrange for a local
dive company to provide the service. The fee would be paid directly to the
diving company at the rate of approx $90 per dive for certified divers (rate and
conditions to be confirmed at the time of diving). You will need to have your
valid certification card with you to present to the dive operator.
- What is included onboard the yacht?
Just as you would expect in a fine resort hotel, our yachts have all the basic
necessities. This includes: bath towels, linens and basic toiletries. It is
recommended that you bring your own personal toiletries such as toothpaste,
creams and shampoo.
- Will I be able to make and receive telephone calls or have internet access?
Each of our crew is equipped with limited cellular phone service. You can give
your family the base telephone number to leave at home in case of emergencies.
The base manager will pass on any information to you. The base number is (998)
849-4223 business hours
In some locations where we anchor close to shore, there will be internet
wireless access however it is not a consistent amenity.
- How much should we tip our crew?
The quality of service should dictate the gratuity. As a guideline, we suggest
an average of 20% of the standard retail charter cost, bearing in mind that they
will be at your service 24 hours a day.
- What travel documents do I need?
All U.S. citizens must have a valid passport. Other citizens should check entry
requirements with their home country’s consulate.
