Ways to charter
Experiences shaped by place and occasion
A sunset sail in Cabo, a sandbar afternoon in Miami and a reef stop off Cozumel are very different days. Not every experience is offered in every destination, so each guide explains what suits the local waters.
Sunset cruising
Golden-hour sailing and evening charters, timed to the season.
Swim & snorkel stops
Calm bays and reefs where local rules and conditions allow.
Private celebrations
Birthdays, anniversaries, proposals and group gatherings.
Catamaran days
Wide decks and shallow-draft hulls for relaxed group days.
Whale season
Humpback whales off Los Cabos in the winter months.
Cabo San Lucas
Sail past Land's End
In Cabo San Lucas, catamarans and motor yachts share the same extraordinary backdrop: the granite arch, the sea lion rocks and the calm bays of the corridor. Our two Cabo guides compare the options, from snorkel stops to sunset sails.

Frequently Asked Questions About Private Yacht Charters
Straight answers about how charters work across our destinations. For anything specific to one location, open its destination guide.
What is YachtCharterBoatRentals.com?
A yacht and catamaran charter inquiry service covering destinations in Mexico, the Bahamas, the Caribbean, Central and South America, the United States and Europe. You tell us where and when you would like to charter, and we check the vessels currently offered in that destination and come back with suitable options.
Are the same yachts available in every destination?
No. Fleets vary considerably by location. Some destinations have a wide choice of motor yachts, catamarans and sailing yachts, while others have a smaller selection. We confirm what is available for your dates when you inquire.
How much does a private yacht charter cost?
We don't publish fixed rates, because the price depends on the destination, date, vessel, charter length, group size and any added services. Share your plans and we will send a personalized quote for the options available on your date.
Are food and drinks included?
Many charters include refreshments, and some include meals or bar service, but inclusions vary by vessel and destination. We confirm exactly what is included for the boat you choose before you book.
Is a captain and crew included?
Crew arrangements depend on the vessel and on local regulations. Many private charters operate with a captain and crew; we confirm who is on board, and what they provide, for the specific vessel you select.
How far ahead should I inquire?
As early as you can for holidays, peak seasons and large groups, when popular vessels can be reserved well in advance. Short-notice requests are welcome too; availability simply depends on what is free on your date.
What should I include in my inquiry?
Your destination, preferred date and any flexibility, approximate group size, the occasion, the type of vessel you have in mind, how long you would like to be out and any must-haves such as swim stops, catering or accessibility needs.
Can you help plan a celebration on board?
Yes. Birthdays, anniversaries, proposals, bachelor and bachelorette groups, weddings and corporate outings are all common reasons to charter. Decorations, catering and photography depend on the vessel and destination, so we confirm what can be arranged.
Where can I charter a yacht through YachtCharterBoatRentals.com?
In 30 destinations across Mexico, the Bahamas, the Caribbean, Central and South America, the United States and Europe, from Cabo San Lucas and Cancún to Nassau, Aruba, Miami, Ibiza and Monaco. Each destination has its own guide to seasons, departure areas and local conditions.
What kinds of charters can I book?
Private motor yacht, catamaran and sailing yacht charters for sightseeing, snorkel and swim days, sunset cruises and celebrations, plus sport fishing and multi-day trips in some destinations. The options depend on the local waters, the season and the vessels available.
How does booking a charter work?
Send a quote request with your destination, date and group size. We reply with the suitable vessels that are available and a personalized quote, and the charter is only booked once you have chosen a vessel and confirmed the details.
