What a Private Yacht Party in Tulum Looks Like

A private boat or yacht charter for your Tulum stay reserves the vessel for your group for the booked duration, with captain and crew. You do not share the charter with unrelated guests. Choose an available departure and itinerary rather than assuming the rental lasts all day or has no schedule.

This is separate from visiting Tulum’s best beach clubs on land, with your own group aboard for the booked itinerary. Stops and water activities depend on the chosen charter and the conditions confirmed by the captain.

• 3-Hour Xpu-Ha & Party Cove — Anchors at La Bocana Party Cove, with more time built in for swimming and staying anchored in one spot.

• Compare the full price and ask H2OH which offer terms apply to your exact charter before booking.

The Takeaway

A private charter combines your group’s time on the water into one booking. It still requires a confirmed route, package, transport plan and attention to conditions.
