What can a captain and crew bring to your experience?
In Cancun, most boats come with the option of having a captain on board which is a great option for you if you don’t have much sailing experience. However, even if you are an advanced sailor, renting with a captain could enhance your trip. The captains that accompany you on your sailing trip in Cancun and give you the full-to-the-brim information about the area. This will help you adapt your trip to best suit your wishes. They will be able to show you Cancun’s hidden gems that often go unnoticed by tourists!
Having a crew on board with you means that you will be able to relax completely as they will take care of everything you need. This is perfect for you if you are planning a boat party as you cruise on a catamaran/sailboat or if you just want to spend a few days not having to worry about household tasks such as cooking and cleaning. A crew consists of four or more members depending on the size and type of boat and includes a hostess, a cook and several deckhands. Both the skipper and the crew will definitely add an extra level of comfort to your trip.
Cruise on a catamaran or sailboat: which to choose?
Although there are many differences between a sailboat and a catamaran, both are well-equipped to provide you with your perfect boating adventure in Cancun. Catamarans are the most popular choice in Cancun, however, it is important for you to choose the boat that best fits you and the experience that you want.
Sailboats are single-hulled spacious vessels that are capable of navigating long routes. Onboard you will find all the necessary room needed to have a luxurious couple of days with a large group of family and friends: sleeping cabins, bathrooms, a kitchen, and living areas. Before your cruise on your sailboat, keep in mind that these types of boats often require more sailing experience. Therefore, if you do not have much experience on the water, we would recommend hiring a boat with a captain. Sailboats are also generally less expensive than catamarans. This is because they use less fuel and do not take up as much docking space.
Catamarans are double-hull vessels, which means that they provide more stability and more space on board. On the bow of the boat, there are usually nets that can be used for sunbathing, watching the ocean beneath you, or even spotting new fauna if the boat is stationary. Due to its stability, this boat is a great choice for avoiding seasickness and is also suitable for claustrophobics thanks to its large open saloon with terraces on each side. However, it is important to remember that the bigger the boat, the more space needed to dock it, which will lead to extra costs.
What should you add to your itinerary during your sailing trip in Cancun?

Whilst taking a jetting around in the Caribbean Sea is already a dream for many, why not make your cruise on a catamaran or sailboat even more fun and have some extras onboard? These can include snorkeling equipment, paddleboards and so many more! Take a trip to a nearby island and then splash around in the beautiful turquoise ocean.
Want to visit some must-see locations in Cancun? The Mayan Ruins of Chichen Itza are at the top of our list. This UNESCO World Heritage Site has been standing for over 1,000 years.
