A yacht’s maximum capacity is not the number of guests its base price covers. Los Tres Piratas holds up to 23 guests and Texas up to 55; guests above the included number are added at the additional-guest rate, within the yacht’s limit.
What the price includes
- Regular all-inclusive charters: captain, crew, meals and an open bar.
- Family Charters: meals and non-alcoholic drinks, without the open bar (not available on Piratas TOO).
- Custom Series: captain and crew, with food and bar choices priced separately. A lower Custom Series base is not automatically cheaper once you add the same food and drinks.
Snorkeling gear comes with the snorkeling charter; water toys and features such as karaoke vary by yacht. Outside alcohol is not allowed.
What is charged separately
- Marina fee: $20 USD per attending guest aged five or older, collected on charter day. Children under five are exempt.
- Transportation: $20 USD per person round trip from Playa del Carmen, Akumal, Puerto Morelos and other Riviera Maya hotels; $25 USD from the Tulum and Cancún hotel zones. Premium vehicles and group buses are quoted separately. See transportation.
- Additional guests above the included number.
- Extras: celebration bundles, decorations, photography and other optional extras.
- Payment charges for your chosen payment method, and any gratuity you choose to budget.
Work out your group total
Group total = base charter + additional guests + marina fees + transportation + extras + payment charges, less any confirmed discount.
Example, ten adults, two-hour sunset: $600 charter + $200 marina fees = $800. Add the $25 Tulum round trip for all ten ($250) and the total is $1,050, or $105 per person.
Example, ten adults, three-hour Xpu-Ha: $975 charter + $200 marina fees = $1,175, or $117.50 per person before transportation and extras.
These are illustrations, not quotes. When friends split the cost, agree on the complete total first and then divide it; the yacht is booked as one private charter, not individual seats.
Luxury or budget: what actually changes
Compare like for like: the same duration, guest count, package and activities. A larger or newer yacht can add space, shade, deck areas and equipment, while a smaller yacht can be the better value for a small group. Decide which differences matter to your group, such as karaoke, shade or a high-dive platform, rather than assuming the most expensive yacht is the best fit.
Weekday dates, discounts and deposits
Weekdays and particular months are not automatically cheaper; compare actual quotes for your dates. Book online with the code H2OHREWARDS for 15% off eligible online bookings; check that the reduction appears in your final total. Offers cannot be combined, and discounts do not apply to transportation or marina fees.
H2OH runs crewed day charters, not bareboat rentals. Before paying, check the amount due now, any deposit payment fee, the balance due later and the cancellation and weather policy. Report any breakage or spill to the crew straight away.
