Many people have the same idea: Do a yachting vacation on sailboat and think than budget can be similar to hotel but remember:  when you are sleeping in hotel you are in a 50K to 100K usd room, when you sleep on boat can be 300K to 1M usd room, the price is often not comparable but: we can offer another option.

In South Mexico area  you can do a sailing trip on day to enjoy the sea and white beaches and spend night at one of many cozy hotels at Islands.  Isla Mujeres and Isla Holbox offer comfortable and affordable hotels.

Tell us your idea and surely we can suggest something that is within your budget and exceeds your expectations.

Common Questions about renting a catamaran to sail Caribbean Mexico:

- 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. Transportation from airport or hotel to marina but you can reserve a Limos & Armored SUV Luxury Transportation  with us.

- 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.

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.
