Read every reviewWhat we offer
Every one personally curated. Prices are the whole thing — captain, crew, fuel, port fees, the drinks on ice — not a starting point.
The signature day. Six hours aboard a Sea Ray Sundancer: out to Isla Mujeres, snorkel the reef at Playa Norte, back with the afternoon sun on your back.
Four hours timed around golden hour — six on request. The Caribbean at sunset is its own category of beautiful.
Guided jet-ski runs through the Nichupté mangroves and open-water freestyle. On its own, or bolted onto your charter.
The full Isla Mujeres day, an hour of jet ski, and a drone + GoPro crew filming it. The one bachelorette and birthday groups book.
Decorated, stocked and timed for the group. The day charter or the sunset hours, built around the occasion.
The whole boat for the two of you. A surprise proposal at golden hour, or a honeymoon day at Isla Mujeres, planned quietly with you.
Star Island, South Beach and the bay aboard Therapy, one of Miami’s most recognisable yachts. Four, six or eight hours; captain, crew and fuel included.
The fleet
Cancún · Marina Mundo Marino
Twin-engine cruiser with a spacious cockpit, a bow sun pad and a full cabin with air conditioning. The boat that runs the Isla Mujeres day.
Cancún · Marina Mundo Marino
Extended swim platform, two private staterooms, full cabin with air conditioning and a Raymarine navigation suite. The most booked boat in the fleet.
Cancún · Marina Mundo Marino
Sun pads front and aft, full snorkel gear for every guest, and a bow lounge that puts you right above the turquoise. Best for beach days at Playa Norte.
Miami · Biscayne Bay
Three staterooms, a main salon with projector and sound, and the decks Miami knows from the bay. Captain, crew and fuel included; jet skis and a water slide on request.

Our story
Zamá Charters was built on a simple truth: the best days on the water don’t happen by accident. They are made by people who care — captains and crews our founder, Cristian Ortiz Suárez, came to know over years in Cancún’s water-sports world, long before there was a company.
We are not a booking platform and not a marketplace. We are a small, personally curated network of the operators we trust on the Caribbean coast and in Miami — people we know, have sailed with, and would send our own families out with.
Cristian “Cris” Ortiz Suárez
Founder & Manager, Zamá Charters
I handle every booking myself, from the first WhatsApp message to the moment you step aboard. If something isn’t right on the day, you talk to me — not a call centre.
The process
No calls, no waiting. Live pricing, a deposit to hold the date, and a confirmation with everything you need to know.
Choose the experience, the boat, the group size and the date. The price updates as you go — no quotes to wait for.
30% in Cancún, $1,000 in Miami, by card through a secure Stripe link. Your confirmation arrives on WhatsApp and by email with your captain and marina details. Free cancellation up to seven days before.
Marina Mundo Marino, Blvd. Kukulcán km 6.5 (or Biscayne Bay). Crew ready, drinks iced, snorkel gear laid out. In Cancún you pay the balance there, cash or card, plus the marina’s gate fee of 180 pesos per person.

Zamá books a partner fleet of licensed private yachts in Cancún, plus one 75-foot yacht in Miami. You get the boat, and someone who answers for it.
Every Cancún yacht we book sails with its Capitanía de Puerto permit, a safety certificate for its passenger number, and insurance. Ask and we send copies before you pay.
We have been on the water with every captain and crew we book. If we would not send our own family, we do not send you.
You talk to Cris and the Zamá team on WhatsApp, in English, Spanish or Swedish: before the day, on the day and after.
Port closed by the Capitanía de Puerto: full refund or a free new date. Yacht breaks down or the crew doesn’t show: another yacht from the fleet, or a full refund.

The Isla Mujeres Day Charter includes 6 hours aboard a Sea Ray Sundancer 440 or 455, a licensed captain and crew, 24 bottled waters, 24 sodas, 24 beers, full snorkeling sets for all guests, and fuel. The only thing paid on the day is the marina’s gate fee of 180 pesos per person. You arrive and everything is ready. Open bar upgrades, catering, and drone packages are available as add-ons.
All day charters depart at 10:00am from the marina in Cancún's Hotel Zone and return at approximately 4:00pm. We'll send you the exact GPS coordinates, parking instructions, and what to bring 7 days before your date.
Our Cancún operators run Sea Ray Sundancer 440 and 455 motor yachts — the same vessels you see in our photos. Each holds up to 15 guests. The 455 also features a flybridge helm, extended swim platform, and two staterooms.
Up to 15 guests on the Cancún yachts and up to 12 on the Miami yacht. If your group is larger, contact us — we can sometimes arrange two vessels departing together.
Free cancellation up to 7 days before your charter — full refund of your deposit. In Cancún, if the Capitanía de Puerto (the port authority) closes the port for weather, you receive a full refund or a free new date. If the port is open, the charter sails as booked — the captain may adjust the route for comfort. If a Cancún yacht breaks down or the crew doesn’t show, we move you to another yacht in the fleet or refund you in full. In Miami, if the captain cancels for safety, you receive a full refund or a free new date.
Yes. Every Cancún yacht we book sails with its Capitanía de Puerto permit, a safety certificate that sets its passenger number, and insurance. Ask on WhatsApp and we send copies before you pay.
The charter already includes 24 waters, 24 sodas, and 24 beers. You're welcome to bring additional food. For a full open bar and catered lunch, ask us about our add-on packages when booking.
Absolutely. We carry life jackets in all children's sizes and our crews are experienced with families. Snorkel gear is available in smaller sizes.
Standard route: depart Hotel Zone marina → cruise to Isla Mujeres → anchor at Playa Norte for swimming and snorkeling → return to marina. The captain adjusts based on conditions and your preferences.
A 30% deposit ($345 for the Isla Mujeres day charter) secures your date. The remaining balance ($805) is paid on the day of the charter at the marina — cash or card. No payment surprises.
Yes — birthday decorations, balloons, custom cakes, professional photographer, drone + GoPro content package, hotel transfers. Mention everything in your special requests when booking and we handle the rest.
Tipping is not required but is deeply appreciated by the captain and crew. A common guideline is 10–15% of the total charter cost if you had a great experience. You can hand it directly to the captain at the end of the day.
