Getting aboard from Riviera Maya
Getting aboard from Riviera Maya. A Riviera Maya resort name alone may not identify your pickup point. Send the full address and nearest town so the team can coordinate guests staying at different hotels. All yachts board at Puerto Aventuras Marina. Travel times vary with traffic and your address. H2OH confirms pickup timing; plan to arrive 20 minutes before departure. Transportation prices and marina directions
OUR OWNED FLEET
Nine yachts. One perfect fit.
Looking for a boat? We've got some big ones. They're called yachts. Compare the space, features and guest capacity to find your perfect fit.
Compare the duration and included guest allowance as well as maximum capacity. Rates come from each yacht's published charter listings and are in USD. Extra guests, marina fees, transportation and optional extras are separate; check your date and final total before booking.
Plan a Riviera Maya boat day aboard your own private H2OH yacht with captain and crew. Compare the fleet, charter durations and published base prices for your full group. Choose the experience and package for your stay; every H2OH charter boards at Puerto Aventuras Marina.
Which yacht fits our group and occasion?
Start with the total passenger count and the activities your group wants. Smaller private groups can charter a larger yacht; the capacity is a maximum, not a minimum. For larger celebrations, compare Texas, Dos Piratas, Piratas de Tejas and Pura Vida. Their capacities differ, as do the guests included in their base prices.
Compare three-hour Xpu-Ha for swimming and celebrating with four-hour InHa for the snorkeling itinerary. A two-hour sunset or evening charter offers time together on the coast. Confirm the departure for your date: sunset times vary, and later evening departures can be at twilight or after dark. Tell the team if seeing the sunset is essential.
The captain confirms the route and water activities for conditions. Choose your yacht, duration and package together so the meal, drink and activity inclusions match what your group wants.
How do All-Inclusive, Family and Custom Series differ?
Regular All-Inclusive charters include captain, crew, meals and open bar. Family Charters include meals and non-alcoholic drinks, with no included open bar, and are not available on Piratas TOO. Custom Series includes captain and crew, with food and bar choices priced separately according to the selected options.
What if our guests are staying across the Riviera Maya?
Collect each hotel or villa address and the number of people at each pickup point. Coordinate transportation and check-in before committing to another event. All guests meet their yacht at Puerto Aventuras Marina; H2OH does not operate a different departure marina for each service area.
How do we turn a comparison into a confirmed charter?
Choose the yacht and duration, enter your date and full passenger count, and review the itemized estimate. Confirm the departure and package before payment. A published rate or a yacht with enough capacity does not confirm availability; marina fees, transportation and optional extras must be considered separately.
Where should we start when planning a Riviera Maya yacht day?
Start with where everyone is staying, then compare the fleet and itinerary. Tulum, Akumal, Playa del Carmen and Puerto Morelos are guest locations served from the same Puerto Aventuras departure marina. Choose nearby activities for other days so you can give the charter and transfers enough time.

You’re staying along a coast with more than one personality. Discover Maya history, beach towns, meals worth lingering over, and places where you can simply catch your breath. Choose the experiences that feel like you—we’ll help make the day on the water yours.
History & local character
The Riviera Maya is a region rather than a single town, so it has no single founding date. Its character comes from the communities along the coast, Maya heritage, Caribbean reefs and freshwater cenotes. Plan your outings around your actual hotel location: the region covers many distinct destinations.
Río Secreto — Underground waterways and cave formations south of Playa del Carmen.
Bring everyone together aboard
Your group does not have to agree on every vacation activity to enjoy a day together. Tell the H2OH crew what matters most and explore your charter options. All departures are from Puerto Aventuras Marina; transportation is planned from your specific accommodation, not from the regional name alone.
These are examples to compare, not a popularity ranking. Check rooms, inclusions, location, and availability directly.
Getting to other locations
Plan from the town and full street address on your reservation. The coastal road corridor connects these destinations, but a resort driveway or beach-zone road can add a substantial connection. Use ADO for suitable town-to-town routes and compare taxis or private transfers for direct hotel journeys. Check ADO’s Playa–Tulum route. For your charter, see our transportation information. Confirm fares and pickup arrangements before traveling.
Plan your visit
Check current opening hours, event calendars, admission arrangements and reservations directly. Nearby excursions are labeled so you can plan transport. All H2OH charters depart from Puerto Aventuras Marina.
