Frequently asked questions about the Yacht rentals in Progreso
Where are the tours located and where do they depart from?
Our tours depart from Progreso, Yucatán. If you're coming from Mérida, you can reach us via the Mérida–Progreso highway in approximately 30 to 40 minutes, depending on traffic. Upon confirming your reservation, we'll send you the exact location of the departure marina (with a Google Maps pin), which varies depending on the boat you rent.
What is the regular route?
We sailed along the coast from Chelem, passing the statue of Poseidon, finally anchoring at the fiscal pier (the longest in the world), the most tranquil area for swimming, eating, and enjoying the sea breeze. Afterwards, we returned to the marina.
What does yacht rental in Progreso include?
All boats include a captain and crew member who provides waiter service, fuel, life jackets, a floating mat, a cooler, and onboard sound equipment. You can bring your own drinks and food, or we can take care of it for an additional fee. (*Tips not included).
How long does the ride last?
The minimum rental period for yachts and sailboats is 4 or 6 hours. If you're feeling adventurous, you can purchase additional hours. Regardless of the rental time, the route is virtually the same.
Is it possible to rent for a shorter period?
We can return whenever you decide, however the minimum rental cost is for 4 hours.
What are the sailing hours?
You decide what time to set sail; we can even sail to see the sunrise.
Recommendation: If you're traveling with children or if someone is prone to seasickness, we suggest sailing in the morning. The earlier you go, the calmer the swell usually is.
Risk and Enjoyment (Sunset/Night): Sunset is the time of day when seas are more prone to rough seas. The rainy season (summer) offers the best sunsets, but by booking, you accept the risk of a downpour; once it passes, the sea becomes calm and beautiful.
Night safety: If the sea is rough at night, everyone must remain seated in the area designated by the Captain until the vessel is inside the Harbor.
Holiday Season Rule on Weekends: Due to high demand, morning tours must end by 3 pm at the latest, and afternoon tours must begin after 3 pm. Please book in advance.
Is it possible to take a different route?
Yes, we can quote customized tours between Chuburná and Chicxulub or special trips to Isla Alacranes (3 nights/3 days).
Is fishing allowed during the walk?
No, if you want to go fishing we have a ceviche fishing service at an additional cost.

Bring everything you'd like to eat, an outfit for photos, a swimsuit, a towel, biodegradable sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses. Tip: If you're prone to motion sickness, avoid heavy meals and consult your doctor about preventative medication.
Is it allowed to consume alcohol or bring food?
Yes, please consume in moderation and responsibly. For safety reasons, glassware is not permitted, so your drinks must be in cans or served in glasses.
Can I rent a yacht or sailboat without a captain?
No. You can drive the vessel if you wish, but the Captain will always be on board to ensure safety.
Is there a passenger limit?
Yes, each boat has a maximum capacity, so make sure you choose a vessel that matches the size of your group.
Can I bring pets?
Ask about pet-friendly boats before booking. Most have sensitive flooring (Foamdeck). If your pet causes damage, you are responsible for paying for repairs or replacements.

For safety: Do not enter the cabin area wet, do not have glass objects, do not be in an unfit state or consume illegal substances.
For the care of the vessel: No smoking inside or wearing shoes on board.

Yes. The captain may suspend the tour if there is a safety risk or a breach of the rules; in that case, there is no refund.
Do we lose cell phone signal while browsing?
No. There's cell phone signal throughout the entire trip, since we're sailing along the coast and you'll always have land in sight!
How can I rent a yacht?
Contact us via WhatsApp; your reservation is only confirmed upon receipt of the deposit (we do not "reserve" boats verbally). The balance must be paid before departure.
