Notes:

* Prices mentioned here are to give you a rough idea and can be changed depending on the season and the services you require.

* Prices usually do not include the skipper fee, meaning that if you are a certified sailor you can charther and drive on your own. But if you need a professional, you can hire a skipper for around €1200 to €2000 for a week.

* Host not included. Charter companies usually do not include a host for cleaning and cooking on the base price. Hosts can be hired for an extra €100 to €200 a day for the yacht. And we highly recommend that you hire one or two hosts, because yachts require a lot of work and you wouldn’t want to return back home tired.

Best time to visit Cancun

Though Cancun weather is near-perfect throughout the year, any time between December to April is a great time to visit Cancun — the weather’s on its best behavior, perfectly combining golden skies and light showers and giving you the best of both worlds!

The best weather can be experienced in the months of April and December but if you’re a wildlife buff, you may want to visit in May when the sea turtles nest and the whale sharks make their yearly appearance!

January to March is also a fantastic time to visit for great weather; you can expect the lowest annual humidity and rain, most summery sunshine and gentlest temperatures during this period, with perfect beach conditions almost daily and more pleasant conditions that let you explore the jungles and ruins further inland without collapsing from heat exhaustion!
