Cancun is one of the most popular winter charters, with long stretches of golden beach and coastline on offer. Yacht charters have a vast array of options when exploring this part of the world, from the beauty of the Rivera Maya coastline to the Isla Mujeres. Water sports are highly encouraged, from jet skiing to world-class scuba diving amongst the coral reefs.
Generally, yachts will have designated smoking areas, these will usually be on the aft deck or flybridge. However, smoking is not permitted inside most yachts, and is strictly prohibited from cabins and staterooms which will be the case on your Cancun yacht charter.
Please be sure to confirm where the designated smoking area is on the yacht with your captain beforehand.
It is normal to offer a tip for the captain and crew's efforts at the end of a Cancun yacht charter, however it is not required. Most brokers advise 15% of the charter charge as a gratuity. You are more than welcome to give the skipper a bigger tip when your charter ends. All additional tips will be divided fairly among the crew by the captain. It is advised to tip the skipper when you disembark if you are chartering outside of the US.
Most Cancun yachts come supplied with ice, waters, and soft drinks for your yacht charter. You may always bring your own food and drinks on a Cancun yacht charter, or you can ask your broker to make arrangements to have food and drinks brought to your yacht before you set sail. Another choice is to hire a chef to prepare meals for you while you're on your yacht charter.
For the crew to properly stock the boat for multi-day (term) charters, you must fill out a meal preferences form. This for masks for information on the meals you would like cooked for your charter as well as your food and beverage preferences.
