Quick answer Price, boat and route in brief
The charter costs $2,310 per group for up to 18 guests and lasts 6 hours on an Azimut 47 Fly from the Cancun Hotel Zone. Drinks, snorkel gear and fuel are included, and the route covers the blanquizales, Punta Sur, Garrafon, Playa Norte and a sunset in the bay.
Key takeaways
- Budget the extras: a dock tax of 100 Mexican pesos per person, crew tips and optional jet ski time are not in the price.
- The listing is new with zero reviews. If proven operators matter to you, compare the 55ft Luxury Yacht Charter with 862 reviews.
- The day stops at the island rather than landing you there. For an on-island departure with seafood and a full bar, see the 55ft Yacht with Food and Drinks.
- Want a shorter, cheaper Isla Mujeres run? The Isla Mujeres Private Yacht departs from the island or Punta Sam, from $720 for up to 6 guests.
What the Price Actually Covers
The published price buys the whole boat for your group, with fuel, crew and a fixed drink stock on board. Several costs stay outside it, and one of them is per person, so it grows with your headcount.
In the Price
You get the Azimut 47 Fly for 6 hours with a crew of one captain and two sailors. Fuel is included, as are snorkeling equipment, towels, glasses, plates and cutlery, a floating mat and life jackets. The yacht has 3 cabins, 2 bathrooms and air conditioning.
Drinks are stocked at a fixed count: 24 bottles of water, 24 soft drinks and 24 beers. Food means a plate of chopped seasonal fruit and 1 bottle of sparkling wine. No meal is named, so bring your own food if your group eats more than fruit. For a trip with real dishes on board, the 55ft Yacht with Food and Drinks serves guacamole, ceviche and quesadillas from Marina La Amada on Isla Mujeres.
Not in the Price
Three things cost extra, per the listing: the tip for the crew, a dock tax of 100 Mexican pesos per person, and jet ski rental at an additional charge. There is no hotel pickup, so you reach the meeting point on your own. The dock tax is listed under what is not included, which means cash planning matters: for 18 guests that tax is a per-person charge you pay on top of the $2,310, and the listing does not state the payment method.
| Line | In the price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Boat and crew | Yes | Azimut 47 Fly, 1 captain and 2 sailors, 6 hours |
| Fuel | Yes | Included in the charter price |
| Drinks | Yes | 24 waters, 24 soft drinks, 24 beers, 1 bottle of sparkling wine |
| Food | Fruit only | A plate of chopped seasonal fruit. No meal is named |
| Snorkel gear, towels, floating mat, life jackets | Yes | Also glasses, plates and cutlery, and air conditioning |
| Dock tax | No | 100 Mexican pesos per person, paid separately |
| Crew tips | No | Left to your discretion |
| Jet ski rental | No | Optional, at additional charge |
| Hotel pickup | No | Not offered on this listing |
The Honest Note
Two things to know before you pay. First, $2,310 is the price for the option shown on this listing, and it is a whole-boat figure for up to 18 guests, so it only makes sense for a full group. Second, this is a new activity with no reviews yet.
That means fewer guest reports to read before you commit, not worse terms: the 24-hour free cancellation and the reserve-now-pay-later option still apply, and you can cancel for a full refund a day out. Book early only if you are comfortable with that, or check a proven boat like the 55ft Luxury Yacht Charter, which has 862 reviews on the same bay.

What the Day Is Really Like
The listing describes one route with four stages, and the order below follows its own text. The sea and the port authorities have the final word on any given day.
Check-in and Departure
You meet at the security booth in the Cancun Hotel Zone, where uniformed Boaty personnel greet you. The listing does not name the marina and does not print a departure clock time, so check availability for your date to see the starting times. Marina guests are generally advised to arrive 15 to 20 minutes before departure, so build that buffer in.
The listing also names a sail through the turquoise water of Cancun Bay and a tour of the Nichupte Lagoon.
First Stop, the Blanquizales
The boat stops at the blanquizales, a sand patch in the center of the bay between Cancun and Isla Mujeres, where the listing describes clear turquoise water about 3 meters deep. You swim here first, then use the included snorkeling equipment to explore the marine life. Life vests are mandatory in the Cancun and Isla Mujeres marine park, and life jackets are on board.
Remember that visitors must not touch any species, must not feed fish and must not anchor in seagrass beds inside the park.
Punta Sur and Garrafon
The yacht then sails to the south end of Isla Mujeres for Punta Sur and the Garrafon area, known for clear water and reef life. Garrafon natural park sits at the island's southern tip about 6 km from the town center, and Punta Sur itself rises about 20 m above sea level with remains of a temple to the Maya goddess Ixchel. This is a swim stop from the boat, the listing does not promise a landing.
Playa Norte
Next comes Playa Norte, at the northern tip of Isla Mujeres, which the listing calls the most beautiful beach on the island and a Blue Flag beach. The boat stops here. If you want to walk the sand, the Playa Norte guide covers the beach in detail, and the water is calm and shallow enough to wade a long way out.
Playa Norte is usually the cleaner side of the island for sargassum, though crews cleared it in a heavy year.
Sunset and Return
The day ends with the sunset in the middle of the bay, and the boat arrives back at the Hotel Zone where it started. The listing does not state a return time, so check the starting time for your date.
Who This Charter Rules Out
This listing fits big private groups that want the whole boat and can live with fruit as the only food. Several common needs push you to a different boat, and each one has a fix.
Not for Wheelchair Users
The listing states the activity is not suitable for wheelchair users. The listing gives no reason. The Private Catamaran Charter has an open bar and snorkel gear, but check its own listing for access before you book.
No Food and No Island Landing
The only food is a plate of chopped fruit. There is no meal, no stop on land and no restaurant leg, and the price is for the 6-hour option shown, so the whole $2,310 buys a day on the water. If you want a captain to feed your group properly, the 55ft Yacht with Food and Drinks leaves from Marina La Amada on Isla Mujeres with ceviche, quesadillas and a full bar.
Big Price, No Reviews
At $2,310 this is one of the pricier whole-boat listings in the Cancun comparison, and it has zero reviews because it is new. If a lower price matters more than the Azimut badge, the Isla Mujeres Private Yacht runs 4 hours from $720 for up to 6 guests, or the 46ft Private Yacht Rental is listed from $250 with 340 reviews behind it.
Small Groups and Parties
There is no stated minimum age, but the boat is built for a group, not a couple, and the price does not drop with fewer guests. Nudity is not allowed on board. For a party atmosphere at a per-person price, the Dancer Cruise to Isla Mujeres is a shared 7-hour option with a DJ and open bar.
For a couples' evening, the Sunset Sailing Cruise sails 2 hours from $89 a person.
Weather and the Rules on Board
Itineraries are subject to change per the listing, which states no weather policy of its own. The platform's free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure is your safety net. On board, nudity is not allowed, and life jackets are included and required in the marine park.

Getting There and What to Add
The listing gives a meeting point but no marina name and no hotel pickup, so plan your own arrival in the Hotel Zone. The island stops also leave room for a second, self-guided day.
Reaching the Meeting Point
You are headed for the Cancun Hotel Zone (Zona Hotelera), meeting at the security booth where uniformed Boaty personnel wait. Boulevard Kukulcan is a single road through the Hotel Zone, so inside it the bus route number does not matter much: the R-1 links Puerto Juarez ferry terminal with the Hotel Zone and the R-2 links Avenida Kabah with the Hotel Zone, and both stop at Playa Tortugas around km 6.5. Hotel Zone buses run 24 hours with reduced service after midnight.
Taxis are the straightforward option if you are carrying coolers and bags, and the listing does not state whether parking is available at the meeting point.
Add a Day on Isla Mujeres
This charter stops at Playa Norte but the listing does not promise time ashore to explore. A separate day works well. Ultramar ferries depart from the Puerto Juarez terminal on Av.
Lopez Portillo, from Playa Tortugas at Blvd Kukulcan km 6.5 and from Playa Caracol at km 9.5, and the ferry to Isla Mujeres guide covers schedules and fares. Xailing also sails from El Embarcadero at km 4.5. Once there, Playa Norte is a few minutes on foot from the downtown terminal, and snorkelers can book the Cancun underwater museum, which lies in the marine park off Cancun and the west coast of Isla Mujeres with around 500 sculptures a few meters down.
Lagoon and Ruins Before or After
The yacht tours the Nichupte Lagoon as part of the day, and you can return to it on your own with a lagoon tour, see the Nichupte Lagoon guide. North of downtown, the El Meco archaeological site, a Maya port about 8 to 9 km from Cancun, opens 8:00 to 16:30 with an entry fee of about 145 pesos for foreigners per INAH. If your dates are flexible, the best time to visit Cancun guide covers the weather and crowds by month.

Who it's NOT for: Travellers who want a meal on board, a proven review history, a lower whole-boat price or wheelchair access should book a different listing.
Questions About This Azimut 47 Charter
How much does this Azimut yacht to Isla Mujeres cost?
The price is $2,310 per group for up to 18 guests on the 6-hour option shown on the listing. The dock tax of 100 Mexican pesos per person, crew tips and jet ski rental are extra, and the lowest-priced private yacht in this comparison is the 46ft Private Yacht Rental.
Where does the yacht leave from?
From the Cancun Hotel Zone, meeting at the security booth where uniformed Boaty personnel greet you. The listing does not name the marina, unlike the 55ft Luxury Yacht Charter, which meets guests at Marina Puesta del Sol beside Cafe Mahi-Mahi.
What food and drinks are included?
24 bottles of water, 24 soft drinks and 24 beers, a plate of chopped seasonal fruit and 1 bottle of sparkling wine. No meal is included, so groups that want ceviche and a full bar on board should look at the 55ft Yacht with Food and Drinks.
Does the trip land on Isla Mujeres?
The route stops at Punta Sur, Garrafon and Playa Norte and ends with a sunset in the bay, and the listing does not promise a stop on land. To explore the island itself, plan a separate day, the ferry to Isla Mujeres guide covers the terminals and schedules.
Can I cancel if the weather turns?
The listing offers free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure for a full refund, and reserve now and pay later is available. Itineraries are subject to change, so if the weather worries you, read the best time to visit Cancun guide first.
Is this a good boat for a large group?
Yes on capacity, with 18 guests allowed on an Azimut 47 Fly with 3 cabins and 2 bathrooms, and the price is per boat, not per person. Larger parties needing more room can look at the Half-Day Catamaran for 35.
Should I worry that the listing has no reviews?
It is a new activity, so there are no guest reports yet, which means less to read before you book. The platform's 24-hour free cancellation still applies, and if that uncertainty bothers you, the Private Yacht Rental 2 to 6 Hours has 16 reviews and is listed from $314 for up to 8 guests.
