A Guide to Mexico: Isla Mujeres on a Luxury Sunseeker Motor Yacht

Mexico is one of the worlds most popular tourist destinations, thanks to its stunning beaches, crystal clear waters, family friendly resorts and fascinating history. Mexico’s Mayan Riviera or Peninsula is one of our most exciting up and coming yachting destinations, providing guests with an unparalleled and unique experience. There are daily flights from both the US and Europe for reasonable fares, so we would recommend starting your charter in Cancún and heading towards the beautiful island of Isla Mujeres.

Isla Mujeres is located about 15 minutes off the coast of Cancún and is a welcome paradise from the hustle and bustle of the busy mainland. So what should you expect from this small island? The northern point of the island is the most popular center with fantastic beach clubs, hotels, restaurants and bars. Here you will find crystal clear waters and great swimming spots. Thanks to the natural beauty of the reef, the water is simply stunning and almost like a bath! We would recommend visiting Buho’s beach bar and restaurant for your afternoon cocktails and it is the ultimate spot on the island to view the amazing sunset. If you fancy heading into town for a bite to eat, check out middle street and sample some authentic Mexican cuisine. The southern end of the island is less developed, so hire a golf cart and head to the zip line centre for an afternoon full of adrenalin and adventure! You will be mesmerized by the stunning views of both the Caribbean Sea and the Mexican mainland.

There is no better yacht to charter in the whole of the Mayan Riviera than the luxurious Sunseeker Predator 72 motor yacht, AGUILA. Accommodating up to 10 guests in 5 cabins, AGUILA is perfect for both friends and families who want to explore this beautiful coastline in style. She features an extensive range of water toys, including tenders, wave runners and kayaks, which will keep the whole family entertained for hours. We cannot recommend this yacht highly enough and we ensure you that she would make for an unforgettable charter experience!

At Boatbookings, we welcome everyone from sailing professionals to complete novices and will help you at every step of the way to make your dreams a reality. We have a team of highly skilled professionals who are extremely
knowledgeable in their destinations and will be able to help you with any questions you may have.

Gastronomic Excellence on your Caribbean Luxury Yacht Charter

Chartering a luxury yacht in the Caribbean is one of life’s most amazing experiences, giving you the opportunity to explore an incredible destination and find your own paradise. The natural beauty of the Caribbean provides the perfect setting for an unforgettable vacation, but what else do you need to make this holiday the best that it could possibly be? A professional crew is always a must, as they will provide you with local knowledge and service that you would not get if you were to charter the yacht yourself. However, we believe that the food served on your yacht is equally as important for your overall enjoyment. With the majority of families living extremely hectic lifestyles, many do not have the opportunity to be treated to a gastronomic feast in the luxury of their home frequently. So what can you expect to eat on your luxury crewed catamaran? This is one of our favourite sample menus from DORIS, a Lagoon 500 based in Belize:

Sample Breakfast Menu
– Selection of tropical fruits with rustic granola and fresh yogurt
– Fluffy banana rum pancakes
– Belizean rum and cinnamon french toast
– Eggs made to order with freshly baked breads

Sample Lunch Menu
– Caribbean shrimp pineapple salad with fresh basil & mint
– Tropical reef burger – guest rated 5 stars
– Lobster, cucumber, mint & ginger rice paper wraps with sweet chili sauce
– Belizean rum black bean soup with tropical salad and fresh baked garlic bread
– Deli sandwich platter with locally made chips and fresh salsa

Sample Dinner Menu
– BBQ Caribbean lobster with fried plantains and pineapple cilantro salsa
– Catch of the day – chef’s whimsical creation with the days catch
– Island shrimp and chaya linguine
– Belizean rum marinated BBQ pork tenderloin served with an exotic tamarind sauce
– Thai ginger coconut seafood curry

After sampling some of the best cuisine on a wide selection of yachts at the 2012 Antigua Yacht Show, we know the very best yachts to propose to you. The Caribbean may not be known for its gastronomic excellence, but you are certain to sample some of the best seafood, fish and fresh fruit in the world! Watch out for a series of blogs on our favourite yachts to sample brilliant gastronomy on the French Riviera, Amalfi Coast, the Greek Islands and the Far East.

At www.boatbookings.com,we organize luxury yacht charters all around the world with our highly qualified team that has intimate knowledge of the destinations and yachts that are available. We leave no stone unturned in matching not just the yacht and the destination to your requirements but also the crew, itineraries and all other subtle aspects that comes together to create a charter of a life time!

April in the BVI and Caribbean on a Crewed Luxury Catamaran Charter

Easter is fast approaching and is one of the most popular opportunities for families to spend their holidays in either the Mediterranean or the Caribbean. Many people may choose to spend their time in the Mediterranean but the Caribbean has so much to offer, including amazing weather and beaches, as well as the best sailing waters in the world. Why not wait till after the very popular spring break and all the crowds to see the Caribbean in all its beauty.

Depending on your island of choice, the weather is likely to be between the high eighties during the day to the seventies in the evening. The climate is extremely mild and you will have long sunny days and great winds, perfect for sailing and relaxing on the bow deck. April in the Caribbean brings many festivities and celebrations, including Carnival, boat races, sporting events and much more. The natural beauty of the BVI makes this one of the most popular destinations in the world.

Why not use this opportunity to get your whole family together or a few of your closest friends and charter one of our large crewed catamarans. We highly recommend KINGS RANSOM, a 76ft Silhouette luxury catamaran, which has the ability to accommodate up to 12 guests in 6 cabins. She features spacious living and sleeping areas, as well as beautiful fixtures and fittings. Her decks are second to none and together with her crew make this luxury crewed catamaran a real winner.
