Quick answer: H2OH runs private bachelorette and bachelor yacht parties from marina de Puerto Aventuras, for groups of a few friends up to 80 guests. Private yacht sunset cruises start from $600. Celebration bundles are added on top: the Champagne Soirée is $150 and The Diamond Experience is $250, each for up to 15 guests. Groups staying in Playa del Carmen, Tulum or Cancún travel to the marina, with round-trip transfers from $20 to $25 per person. Every charter is private to your group, with captain, crew, meals and an open bar on regular all-inclusive charters.
See the bachelorette yacht party page for current packages, then use this guide to pick the yacht, the charter and the budget.
Step 1: pick the yacht by group size
Count the bride or groom and everyone attending, plus any photographer or vendor who will board.
| Your group | Yachts to compare |
|---|---|
| Up to 23 | Los Tres Piratas (23), Piratas TOO (24), or any larger yacht if you want more space |
| 24 to 28 | Última Pirata, 4 Piratas or 4.5 Piratas (28 each) |
| 29 to 48 | Dos Piratas (48), Texas, Piratas de Tejas or Pura Vida |
| 49 to 55 | Texas (55), Piratas de Tejas or Pura Vida |
| 56 to 80 | Piratas de Tejas or Pura Vida (80 each) |
A yacht’s maximum is not the number of guests its starting price covers. For example, Los Tres Piratas holds up to 23 guests, while its three-hour base fare covers up to 15; guests above that are added at the additional-guest rate. Browse the full fleet for photos and layouts.
Step 2: choose the charter
- Two-hour sunset or evening cruise: drinks, music and the toast as the light goes down. Check daylight for your date; a later departure can be after dark.
- Three-hour Xpu-Ha or Party Cove cruise: the classic party day, with swimming when conditions allow. Reef snorkeling is not included.
- Four-hour InHa snorkeling charter: for a group that wants reef time as well as the party.
For a sing-along, choose a yacht with Karaoke at Sea; it is available on several yachts, so confirm it on the one you book. Give guests who prefer to stay dry shaded seating and a plan aboard. The captain decides stops and water activities for conditions.
Step 3: add a celebration bundle
| Bundle | Price and guests | Includes |
|---|---|---|
| Champagne Soirée | $150 USD, up to 15 guests | Sparkling wine, lily pad float, cake, white balloon garland, and a silver or gold banner |
| The Diamond Experience | $250 USD, up to 15 guests | Sparkling wine and deluxe open bar, fruit platter and cake, lily pad float, a garland in up to three colors, and a silver or gold banner |
Bundles need crew confirmation. For more than 15 guests, confirm the bundle for your full group. Photography, a DJ and transportation are not part of the bundles; see extras optionnels, and avoid ordering a second cake or bar upgrade that duplicates your bundle.
Step 4: work out the budget
Example for ten adults: Los Tres Piratas three-hour base fare of $975, plus the $150 Champagne Soirée, plus ten marina fees of $20 comes to $1,325, or $132.50 each split ten ways. That is before transportation, other extras, payment charges and gratuity, and it is an illustration, not a quote.
A complete quote has separate lines for the base charter, additional guests, bundle, other extras, marina fees ($20 per guest aged five or older), transportation and payment charges. Discounts do not apply to transportation or marina fees. Agree on the full total before collecting everyone’s share. Use Planifiez votre journée en yacht with your date and guest count.
Theme ideas for the group
Matching outfits make the photos. Popular themes include nautical, Frida Kahlo, the 90s, country, and team bride or team groom colors. Tell the crew your colors when you order a garland.
Planning a bachelor party?
Everything above works the same for a bachelor or a combined party: the same yachts, charters, open bar on regular all-inclusive charters and karaoke on equipped yachts. A three-hour Party Cove or Xpu-Ha cruise is the usual choice for a group that wants swimming and music; the four-hour InHa charter suits a group that also wants to snorkel.
Getting the group there
All charters board at Puerto Aventuras Marina, not a Playa del Carmen or Tulum beach. Round-trip transportation is $20 USD per person from Playa del Carmen, Akumal and Puerto Morelos, and $25 USD per person from the Tulum and Cancún hotel zones. Vans carry up to 14 passengers and group buses seat 27 to 52. Send every pickup address together, and be at the marina 20 minutes before departure; late arrival does not extend the return. See marina directions and transportation.
Before you book
Outside alcohol is not allowed; the open bar on regular all-inclusive charters covers the drinks. Read the guest rules and the cancellation and weather policy. Your confirmation should name the yacht, date, departure, duration, passengers, package, bundle and complete price; an inquiry or estimate is not a reservation.
