Private Catamaran Charter in Cancun: Everything You Need to Know

Travel Guides · April 26, 2026

A private catamaran charter in Cancun transforms a great experience into an extraordinary one. Whether you're celebrating a milestone, planning a corporate retreat, or simply want the Caribbean Sea to yourselves, here's everything you need to know.

What Is a Private Catamaran Charter?

A private charter means you have exclusive use of the entire catamaran for your group. There are no other guests — just your party, a dedicated bilingual crew, an open bar, and the open sea. You choose the route, the pace, and the activities.

What's Included

  • Exclusive use of the vessel for the duration of the charter
  • Professional bilingual crew (captain + 2–3 crew members)
  • Open bar (beer, wine, spirits, soft drinks, water)
  • Snorkeling equipment for all guests
  • Charcuterie board and appetizers (on sunset cruises)
  • Bluetooth sound system
  • Customizable itinerary: snorkeling, Isla Mujeres stop, sunset sail, or a combination

How Much Does a Private Catamaran Cost in Cancun?

Private charters are priced per vessel (not per person), typically starting around $1,000–$2,500 USD depending on the boat, duration, and services. For groups of 8 or more, the per-person cost often rivals or beats shared tour pricing — while offering a completely different level of exclusivity.

Best Uses for a Private Charter

  • Proposals & anniversaries — The sunset on the Caribbean is the perfect backdrop. We can arrange decorations, champagne, and photography coordination.
  • Bachelorette & bachelor parties — Your playlist, your pace, your group. No strangers on your celebration.
  • Family reunions & birthdays — Accommodate groups of 15 to 100+ guests depending on the vessel.
  • Corporate events & team building — Unforgettable team experiences on the water with catering and branding options.
  • Wedding day or honeymoon — Start your marriage at sea with a ceremony or romantic sail.

How Long Should a Private Charter Be?

Most private charters run between 4 and 7 hours. A 4-hour sunset cruise is perfect for a romantic occasion. A 7-hour day charter allows time for snorkeling, island stops, and leisurely sailing. We offer hourly extensions depending on availability.

How to Book

Private charters require advance booking — ideally 48–72 hours ahead. During peak season (December–April), we recommend booking at least one week in advance. Request your private charter here and our team will confirm availability and customize your experience within 24 hours.
