Watch the full 84-second Captain Mack Tale

Ahoy, friends! Captain Mack here.

You know, after all these years on the Caribbean, I’ve learned something.

You can own the yacht. But the sea? That’s something worth sharing.

Back in 2012, I set course from Texas aboard Piratas de Tejas. The Riviera Maya was calling. And the question that got H2OH started was pretty simple: Why weren’t there yachts here for people to rent?

Well, maybe a margarita or two helped that idea along!

Piratas de Tejas became our first yacht. Then came more boats, more crew members, and thousands of guests making memories out on the water.

But here’s a part of our story that I especially like.

We’ve also opened our yachts for complimentary cruises for local schools, charities, and community groups.

Think about that. People come from all over the world to experience these beautiful Caribbean waters. And right here at home, we have neighbors we can share them with, too.

To me, a home port means more than a place to tie up your boat. It’s the people who make this place a community.

And when you get a chance to share something special, well, that’s a pretty fine day at sea.

Captain Mack and H2OH crew aboard their yacht

So here’s to Piratas de Tejas, to Puerto Aventuras, to our H2OH crew, and to everybody who’s become part of this journey.

Until our next adventure, fair winds and following seas!

And remember, the greatest treasures aren’t always found in a treasure chest!
