Looking for a boat? We've got some big ones. They're called yachts. Choose a private H2OH charter with captain and crew for your Playa del Carmen stay. Compare the published price, included guest allowance and maximum capacity, then add your full guest count and transport needs. Every charter departs from Puerto Aventuras Marina.
How much does a private yacht charter cost?
The yacht comparison shows published base rates by duration and the guest allowance included with each rate. A yacht that holds 55 guests does not necessarily include 55 guests in its base price. Add your extra passengers, marina fees, transportation and optional services to compare the complete outing.
Should we choose sunset, Xpu-Ha or InHa snorkeling?
Choose a two-hour sunset cruise for an evening on the coast, three-hour Xpu-Ha for swimming and celebrating, or four-hour InHa for the snorkeling itinerary. Your captain confirms the route and water activities for the day's conditions. Equipment and onboard features vary by yacht.
Board at Puerto Aventuras Marina, not the Playa del Carmen beachfront or ferry pier. Share your exact hotel or villa address when arranging transportation. Confirm pickup and return arrangements and leave time to arrive 20 minutes before your yacht's departure.
Can we book a bachelorette, wedding reception or family outing?
Yes. Choose a private yacht for your occasion, then compare the package inclusions instead of assuming that every decoration, photo service or transfer is included. Regular all-inclusive, Family and Custom Series charters differ. Keep your group size and preferred activities central to the choice.
How should we combine the charter with a Playa del Carmen day?
Arrange your marina transfer before adding a beach visit or dinner reservation. Use the complete outing time, including pickup, boarding and the return journey, when choosing a restaurant time. Staying near the Playa del Carmen ferry pier does not change the yacht departure from Puerto Aventuras.
