A dazzling city renowned for its powdery white sand beaches,

and fascinating cultural and historical attractions, Cancun is a
robust yacht charter destination that offers something for
everyone. Located on the southeast coast of Mexico in the state of
Quintana Roo in the Yucatan Peninsula, this vibrant locale offers
breathtaking landscapes, year-round sunshine, and warm tropical
climates. Step onboard your charter
sailing yacht, charter
catamaran, charter
power boat, or charter
mega yacht and prepare yourself for an unforgettable journey in
Cancun, Mexico with Sunreef Yachts Charter.
With 14 miles of spectacular coastline hugging the sparkling
Caribbean Sea, Cancun is a beach lover’s paradise. Sun-worshippers
will enjoy lazily lounging on one of a number of pristine stretches
of white talcum-soft sand beaches while those that seek watersport
fun can choose from an exciting array of options including
snorkeling, diving, surfing, parasailing, and windsurfing. On
Cancun’s north side, the seas are calm and shallow, with Playa
Caracol, Punta Cancun, and Playa Langosta being picturesque
options. Breezy and with larger waves, beaches on the east side
include Playa Marlin, Playa Ballenas, and San Miguelito. Surfers
will want to head to hotspot Playa Delfines.
Boasting of crystal clear seas flourishing with colorful marine
activity, Cancun is a prime charter sanctuary for dive enthusiasts.
The Great Mesoamerican Reef, the second largest coral reef in the
world, stretching 450 miles and teeming with stunning tropical
sealife, provides unparalleled opportunities for underwater
explorations. Another unique attraction not to be missed is MUSA
(Museo Subacuático de Arte) an awe-inspiring underwater museum. The
ambitious undertaking exhibits a number of creative installations
which were designed to counteract the effects of climate change on
our oceans and reef systems and foster the growth of coral and
other marine organisms. The largest installation conceived by
artist Jason deCaires Taylor is entitled “The Silent Evolution” and
features over 400 life-size sculptures.
The mysteries surrounding the ancient Mayans are truly intriguing
and Cancun is home to an astounding collection of archeological
remnants of this fascinating civilization. One of the most
culturally dynamic societies in the world, the Mayans made
unbelievable strides in art, architecture, mathematics and
astronomy and the magnificent ruins that they have left behind
consisting of pyramids, palaces, temples and ceremonial sites are
truly impressive. Worthy of a visit is the signature Nohoch Mul
pyramid in Coba, the Temple of Kukulkan and the Cenote of Sacrifice
at Chichen Itza, and the cliffside temples at Tulum.
The pristine beauty of Cozumel, Mexico’s largest island at
250-square-miles, is irresistible and makes for one picture-perfect
yacht charter stop. A majority of the island is largely undeveloped
and the unspoiled sugary white-sand beaches are a welcome oasis for
visitors in search of peaceful relaxation. One of the most scenic
beaches is Punta Sur, while there take a visit to the top of the
Celerain Lighthouse to soak in breathtaking views. Blessed with
limestone caverns, tunnels, and the rare black coral, the
crystalline aqua waters surrounding Cozumel are home to the
thriving Palancar Reef which attracts divers from all over the
world.
Located just 8 miles northeast of Cancun, Isla Mujeres is a small
five-mile long island boasting of striking natural attractions,
tranquil secluded beaches, and spectacular historical ruins. In the
16th century Spanish conquistadors arrived upon her sweeping shores
and discovered numerous idols in honor of Ixchel, the Mayan moon
goddess of love and fertility, thus the moniker "Island of Women.”
While the beaches of Isla Mujeres are the prime attraction, great
experiences can be had exploring the island by golf cart, scooter,
or bike. Great stops for sightseeing include the Ixchel temple and
sculpture garden at Garrafon Park and the Tortugranja sea turtle
sanctuary.
Playa del Carmen was just a short time ago a quaint fishing village
but has now become one of the fastest-growing cities in Mexico.
Known locally as Playa, the area attracts an international crowd
and boasts of a lively beach town atmosphere with a twist of
cosmopolitan flair. The pristine stretches of sand in Playa are
idyllic and the scene at the chic beach clubs that line the shores
is hip and sophisticated. While here, take a stroll along the
fashionable 5th Avenue or Quinta Avenida, which extends more than
20 blocks and is lined with trendy cafes, high-end boutiques, and
art galleries.
