It is the most extensive barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere, great for snorkelling, diving and of course, sailing!

Pacific Ocean:

On the Pacific coast of Mexico’s inland, find a boat rental in Mazatlan and take the opportunity to visit one of the biggest natural lighthouses in the world, which can be found in Cerro Creston. And at the same time, visit the nearby sea caves; legend has it that there are pirate treasures 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 haven for sailors due to its favourable sailing conditions, bountifulness of marine life and breathtaking scenery. Continue south, and you will find Acapulco. Sail on the Bay of Puerto Marqués and the Bay of Santa Lucia, and admire the view of Acapulco backed by the Sierra Madre del Sur mountains.

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 visitors due to its delicious coastal Mexican food, beach resorts, scuba diving sports and marlin fishing. It is known as the “Striped Marlin Capital of the World,” making it the perfect spot to rent a fishing charter for all fishing fanatics. Close by you can visit La Paz, which is the capital of Mexico’s Baja California Sur. Here, tour 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!

Mexico is a large country with different climates, making it better to visit some places versus others at different points throughout the year. When you know where you want to go you’ll have a better idea of when to visit.

This western region includes iconic cities such as Tijuana and Ensenada and is a great place to sail year-round. However, for the highest temperatures and the best beach weather, we recommend visiting between October and March.

This includes Mexico City, and is best visited between November and April for highs above 20°C and low precipitation levels.

Charter a yacht with a skipper in Mexico for a relaxing holiday!

If you have a boating licence you might prefer to be the captain of your own ship but if not, we’ve got a solution. With a skippered boat rental, you don’t need to have a licence to sail, and you can relax with complete peace of mind on board. Skippers are licenced professionals who will take care of everything on the boat, so you don’t have to worry about docking, anchoring or manoeuvring the vessel. The majority of skippers are locals with great knowledge of the area, and they can share some of their suggestions and tips with you to make your time in Mexico unforgettable.

It’s true that skippered vessels are usually more expensive than a bareboat charter, or they must be added on as an extra cost—but it is worth it! With a skipper on board, you’ll create a customised sailing itinerary and maybe even learn a thing or two about sailing. What could be better than that? Charter a yacht in Mexico with a skipper for the holiday of a lifetime!

However, if you plan ahead, you’re sure to find the perfect vessel to satisfy all of your holiday needs. If you only want to rent a boat for a few days, a daily charter like a motorboat is a good choice, so you can see everything on your wish list in no time. For a longer sailing retreat, you might prefer something a bit more spacious, and you’ll need amenities and accommodations on board to make your stay more comfortable. Yachts and catamarans are great vessels for a group of friends or the whole family as they have plenty of space to sleep, eat and sunbathe on board. If you want something a bit more unique, you could opt for a gulet and for something more traditional, a sailboat. Whatever you decide, you’re sure to have an amazing experience with a yacht charter in Mexico, and you won’t be disappointed!
