If you are in Mexico you definitely should try Cancun yacht charter. There is no other place on Earth that would offer you such an amazing mixture of exotic and modern, both on land and at sea. Just rent boat and look at everything with your own eyes.

Speaking in general, in Mexico, there are 3 main areas for yachting: the Lower California peninsula with the Cortes Sea, the Mexican Riviera (the territory from Mazatlan to Acapulco) and the famous Cancun resort. The last one deserves your attention.

Cancun in translation means "snakes", but there are no poisonous snakes in this sunny city on the Yucatn peninsula. The place is known for boarding houses and world-class hotels, restaurants and nightclubs, fishing, snorkeling, archaeological sites, mild tropical climate and a variety of water sports.

But it is snow-white beaches that have turned Cancun into the most popular tourist center of Mexico. Thanks to the beautiful views, the city firmly established itself on the map of tourism, and even natural disasters failed to destroy them completely.

Caribbean miracle

In the second half of the 1960s, a group of Mexican analysts decided to surpass Acapulco, creating a new, world-class resort on the Yucatn Peninsula. Now the initiators of the construction of the resort city can rightfully be proud of their results. Cancun today is one of the largest resort cities in the Western Hemisphere, hosting 4 million vacationers every year (most of the US). It embodies the splendor of the Caribbean Sea and the exotics of Mexico.

Cancun is divided into two completely different areas:

-Ciudad Cancun (Cancun City);

-Isla Cancn (Cancun Island).

What is worth knowing about this wonderful island

Cancun Island is a 22 km long sand strip, its shape resembles the figure 7. This is the place of the famous Hotel Zone, also called the Tourist Zone.

The island is connected to the mainland by the Playa Linda bridge in the north and the Punta Nizuc bridge in the south. Between these two regions lies Laguna Nichupte. Boulevard Kukulkan"the main transport artery of the island. The international airport of Cancun is located near the southern tip of the island.

What to see and where to sail

Cancun is best known for its clear turquoise waters and pleasant climate. Yacht charter there is wonderful. Gorgeous sandy beaches enchanted in the transparent waters of the Caribbean Sea are the main reason for the arrival of tourists here.

For good swimmers swimming in the open sea is not a problem. For all others, the danger is represented by strong currents, fluctuating depending on the visiting season. Pay attention to the colored flags on the beach:

white"excellent conditions for swimming;

green"normal conditions (safe);

yellow"the situation is uncertain (be careful);

black or red"swimming is prohibited.

Remember that the public beaches of Mexico do not have lifeguards, they can only be found on the beaches adjacent to the hotels.

On most beaches, vacationers are provided with rent sailing boards, inflatable boats, kayaks and snorkeling equipment. Along the calm lagoon, Nichupte offers yachts, jet skis, sailing, water skiing or a water parachute for hire. The competition is high, so do not hesitate to ask for discounts on services.

You can not only have a good rest on the beaches of Cancun or watching the beauty of its coastline from the yacht. You and your friends can also make a purchase. Many residents of the city make a living by selling souvenirs to tourists, sarongs, jewelry, seashells and much more.

Developed infrastructure

The city of Cancun is on the mainland, it is home to the majority of the local population, there are traditional Mexican restaurants, markets, less expensive hotels and travel agencies. Avenida Tulum is the main street of the city, towards the south it turns into a wide highway that leads to the airport and Puerto Juarez, from where they go by ferry to the island of Isla Mujares. The most convenient way to get to Cancun by plane, and already here to rent boat to your liking.
