FAQs about yacht rental

 

Q? CAN WE ADD  A JET SKI?

A. Jet skis have an additional cost and have to be requested with time to add them to your reservation. The cost of towing a jet ski during your whole trip is around 500 USD. Or the captain can ride to a designated area where you can rent it and use it for 1 hour or 30 min for around 150 USD. IMPORTANT: for security reasons,  jet skis are now restricted in many areas around Isla Mujeres, so you can only use them in designated areas.

 

Q? CAN THE YACHT PICK US UP AT THE DOCK OF MY HOTEL?

A. No, usually hotels do not allow the use of their docks, you would have to ask directly at your hotel and consider that the time that the yacht takes to get to the dock, starts counting from your rental time. For example: if you rented 4 hours and the yacht takes 1 hour to get to the dock, and then 1 hour to get back from the dock to the marina, those are 2 hours that are deducted from your rental time.

We always recommend ground transportation.

 

Q?  CAN THE YACHT PICK US UP IN TULUM OR PLAYA DEL CARMEN?

A. No, the only Marinas are located in Cancun or Puerto Aventuras, therefore you must hire ground transportation.
