All-inclusive yacht charter in Cancun
There is no agreed definition of all inclusive for a yacht charter in Cancun, and operators use the phrase to mean very different things. So here is exactly what every charter with us includes, what it does not, and what an actually all-inclusive day costs to put together. A charter starts at $600 USD for the boat for four hours; the extras are quoted on top and you see both numbers before you book.
Included on every charter, every boat
- The whole boat for the hours you book, not a seat on a shared trip
- Captain and crew
- Bottled water and ice
- Whatever the vessel itself carries, listed on each boat page: cabins, bathrooms, air conditioning, sound system, snorkelling gear where the boat has it
Not included, and we say so before you book
- Food. No meals, no chef, no snacks as standard.
- Alcohol and soft drinks. Water and ice only.
- Dock fee, $14 USD per person, paid at the marina. It is a port charge; we do not set it or collect it.
- Crew gratuity. 10 to 15% is customary and goes to the captain and crew.
We would rather tell you this on the page than at the dock. An operator advertising a low all-inclusive headline usually has the same list somewhere, further down.
What an all-inclusive day with us looks like
When people ask for all inclusive they usually want food, drinks and not having to organise anything. We build that, and we run it ourselves rather than handing you to a third party: catering and food on board, drinks and bar service, photography, jet ski rental and ground transport.
You tell us the group, the date and roughly what you want on board. We come back with the charter price and each extra priced separately, so you can see what you are paying for and drop anything you do not want. One team, one quote, no coordinating a caterer and a photographer the morning of your trip.
Why we do not publish a single all-inclusive price
Because it would be a made-up number. Catering for six is not catering for twenty, an open bar for a birthday is not two bottles of wine at sunset, and transport from Playa del Carmen is not transport from the Hotel Zone. A single headline figure only works if it quietly assumes one of those and changes later. Ask for your date and group and you get the real total.
Frequently asked
Are Cancun yacht rentals all inclusive?
Not by default, and not with us unless you add it. Every charter includes the boat, captain and crew, bottled water and ice. Food, alcohol and soft drinks are extras we quote with the charter. Always ask any operator for a written list of what is included before you pay.
What does all inclusive normally cover in Cancun?
It varies by operator, which is the problem. Ask specifically about food, alcohol, the per-person dock fee, gratuity and transport. Those five are where the differences live.
Can you arrange food and an open bar on board?
Yes. We arrange catering and bar service directly, booked in advance and quoted with the charter.
Is the dock fee part of an all-inclusive package?
No. The $14 USD per person dock fee is paid at the marina on the day, whatever else you book.
Can you pick us up from the hotel?
Yes, ground transport is one of the extras we arrange. Tell us where you are staying and we quote it with the charter.
