Everything here comes from days we have actually booked: the Isla Mujeres route, the reef and Playa Norte stops, how the marina works and what a private yacht really costs. In Cancún that is $1,150 for the whole boat for six hours and up to fifteen guests, with captain, crew, fuel, drinks and snorkel gear on board; the only extra on the day is the marina’s gate fee of 180 pesos per person, and the tip is up to you. Start with the complete charter guide if you are planning a first trip, the questions people ask before booking if you are close to deciding, or the packing list if the date is set. Groups of ten or more should read the large-group guide, and bachelorette parties the bachelorette planning guide. In Miami we book one private 75-ft yacht — see Miami prices.
