What can you see and do on a yacht charter in Mexico?
Mexico is a diverse country that has something for everyone. Whether you want to see cultural sights, natural wonders or simply relax on the beach, you’ll find what you’re looking for with a boat hire in Mexico. Here is a mini guide to exploring different parts of Mexico:
Gulf of Mexico:
Starting out as a small fishing village, today Cancun is known worldwide as one of the top holiday destinations, known for its hospitality that hosts millions of visitors annually. With so much to do in Cancun, there is no wonder why so many choose to visit. Tour the Mayan Ruins, watch the migrating sea turtles in late May or even hire a boat and visit the second-largest reef in the world: The Great Mayan Reef. Here you can see over 60 species of coral and over 500 types of fish!
Pacific Ocean:
On the Pacific coast of the country, find a boat hire in Mazatlan and sail to one of the biggest natural lighthouses in the world. It can be found in Cerro Creston, the highest point in the city. While there, be sure to visit the nearby sea caves; legend has it that there are pirate treasures hidden in the caves that have yet to be found!
Further south is the well-known coastal city of Puerto Vallarta. Walk on the cobblestones of the charming old town or along the boardwalk and marvel at the stunning view of the Pacific. Puerto Vallarta has been a favourite of sailors due to its excellent sailing conditions and picturesque landscape. Continue south, and you will find Acapulco. Sail on the Bay of Puerto Marqués or the Bay of Santa Lucia and admire the view of Acapulco with the Sierra Madre del Sur mountains lurking in the background.
Gulf of California:
The Gulf of California separates the Baja Californian Peninsula from Mexico’s mainland, and here you can choose to charter a yacht in the famous seaports of Cabo San Lucas and La Paz. “Cabo” as many say, attracts many visitors due to its delicious coastal Mexican food, beach resorts and scuba diving spots. Fishing fanatics visit Cabo specifically for marlin fishing, hence its nickname as the “striped marlin capital of the world.” Close by you have La Paz, which is the capital of Mexico’s Baja California Sur. Here, sail to the seaside town of Loreto or enjoy snorkelling in the Sea of Cortez. It is considered one of the world’s richest bodies of water, with over 800 different species of fish!
What is the best time to rent a boat in Mexico?
Mexico is a relatively large country so the best time to go sailing will depend on exactly where you’re looking to travel but generally speaking, the best time to rent a boat in Mexico is from January to June and September to December. Mexico has beautiful weather year-round but it’s best to avoid the summer months as the precipitation levels are at their highest and so are the prices! June through August is the high season in Mexico so if you aren’t keen on crowds and scorching hot temperatures but still want nice weather, opt for a Mexico yacht charter in May or September.
Consider a yacht charter in Mexico with a skipper!
For licenced sailors and novices alike we always recommend a boat hire with a skipper in order to ensure maximum security on board. There are many benefits to hiring a boat with a skipper; they handle all of the navigating and nautical logistics and if you’re keen on learning a bit about sailing, they might be willing to show you some tips and tricks! Sailors are also locals and can take you to all of the spots on your sailing itinerary, and maybe add a few of their own! For a more personalised boat hire in Mexico, opt for one with a skipper!
What type of boat is best for my Mexico boat hire?
At Click&Boat we have a large fleet of boats in Mexico, and it can be hard to know which boat to choose for your perfect holiday. In order to choose the right vessel, it’s important to think about what type of boat trip you’re looking to have. For a longer charter of a week or more, we recommend choosing a larger, more comfortable vessel which includes all of the amenities you’ll need to accommodate everyone on board. Typically speaking, a catamaran or a yacht would be a great option for a weekly hire as they have plenty of space to keep everyone entertained.
For a shorter trip, we recommend a motorboat or a RIB as they are typically hired by the day, and they go fast to help you see a lot in a short period of time. For a more luxurious holiday hire a gulet, and for an authentic sailing experience, a sailboat. There are so many options at Click&Boat, which one will you choose?
