What’s Included When You Rent a Yacht in Cancun (and What Isn’t)

Cancun Tips · November 3, 2026

Every private yacht in Cancun comes with the essentials — but not every yacht comes with the same extras. Some include drinks, snorkel gear and an air-conditioned cabin; others are simply a boat, a captain and the open sea. Knowing the difference before you book helps you compare yachts fairly and avoid surprises on the dock.

Included on Every Yacht

  • ⚓ A captain and crew — no boating experience needed
  • 🦺 Life jackets on board, including for children
  • 🛥️ The whole boat for your group: every charter is private, and the price is per group, not per person
  • ⏱️ Rentals from 4 to 8 hours (the 120 ft Viva La Vida is rented for 8 hours only)

The Full Package: Drinks, Snorkel, A/C and Galley

Thirteen of our yachts list the complete set of amenities: a welcome drink, beer and sodas, snorkel gear, towels and floaties, a sound system, air conditioning and a galley.

🎣 If someone in your group likes to fish, the 44 ft Perfect Game is the one yacht that also lists fishing gear and bait.

Drinks and Snorkel, Without the A/C Cabin

The 27 ft Sultan, the 44 ft Blue Fin and the 48 ft Eolo include the welcome drink, beer and sodas, snorkel gear, towels and floaties and a sound system — they just don’t list air conditioning or a galley. For a sunny day spent mostly on deck and in the water, that rarely matters.

The Essentials-Only Yachts

Four yachts keep it simple, which suits groups who would rather plan their own day:

When you compare prices, compare what comes on board too: a yacht that looks cheaper may simply include less.

Not Included on Any Yacht

  • 💵 The dock fee: $20 USD per person, mandatory and paid on site on the day of your charter (children under 4 don’t pay it). It is not charged online.
  • 🙌 Tips for the crew — not included, though always appreciated.
  • 🚐 Hotel transportation — available as an optional extra service, provided by a third party.

Cancellation terms are shown when you book and on our cancellation page, so check them before you pay.

Every yacht page lists its amenities, capacity and rates for each length of charter. Compare the fleet or go straight to booking.
