Two Refreshing Caribbean Inspired Drinks For Your Next Vacation

Following on from our recent food blog on the very best Caribbean cuisine on your luxury yacht charter, this post aims to provide a few suggestions to help you quench your thirst during your next vacation. Whether you wish to have a cold refreshing beer, an iced coffee or a fruity cocktail, we have come up with a few incredible drinks from our recent trip to the Caribbean and Central America that will definitely appeal to everyone!

Canteloupe Water

Fresh fruit waters are very common and popular in Mexico, especially on those hot summer days by the beach. This refreshing fruit drink is simple to make and is delicious with any tropical fruit.
Simply blend your chosen fruit with a cup of water and enough sugar to taste before passing the mixture through a sieve and adding a few ice cubes. Other popular flavours include lime, mango, pineapple and strawberry.

Belizean Rum Punch with Nutmeg

The Rum Punch is a classic cocktail and matches rum with a delicious combination of fruit juices served over ice. However, the Belizean version combines coconut rum with tropical juice, a twist of lime and freshly grated nutmeg. The nutmeg adds a savory touch to the classic cocktail and will leave your mouth with a flavour sensation! Add fresh fruit and whatever you like to create your own take on this delicious drink.

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.

Luxury Yacht Charters in Cancún, Mexico

Cancún is located on the northeast coast of the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico, just north of the Riviera Maya. The Riviera Maya is a collection of all-inclusive resorts, small boutique hotels and fantastic restaurants that straddle Mexico’s Caribbean coast along the coastal highway 307.

Cancún is a popular tourist destination due to the wide variety of aquatic activities available in the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, which stretches for over 1000km towards Guatemala. This is the largest coral reef in the Western Hemisphere and the second longest barrier reef in the world. The shallow coral reefs and crystal clear waters make it one of the best locations for snorkeling and scuba diving in the world.

On top of more than 500 species of fish, divers and snorkelers have the opportunity to visit the Cancún Underwater Museum. This is a series of more than 400 sculptures by British artist Jason de Caires Taylor, which have been placed underwater in the Cancún National Marine Park at depths from 9-20 feet. If you don’t feel like diving or snorkeling, however, you could always relax on one of the many fantastic beaches such as Playa Caracol or Playa Langosta.

The northern areas of the reef system near Isla Contoy (only a short journey by boat from Cancún) are home to the largest fish on the planet, the Whale Shark. During the summer, hundreds of Whale Sharks gather here to take advantage of the plankton rich waters, which are created at the border of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea.

Cancún is also one of the most popular sportfishing destinations in the world. Depending on the season that you visit, catches can include kingfish, barracuda, blue marlin, sailfish, tuna and mahi-mahi. On top of fishing, whale watching, snorkeling and scuba diving, holidaymakers have the opportunity to go swimming with dolphins, take guided jungle tours or visit one of the many historical sites such as the Mayan Ruins. In the evening, Cancún is well known for its parties and nightlife. Whether you like hip-hop or heavy rock, live reggae music, salsa dancing, or simply relaxing a sophisticated bar, the city offers it all.

One of our favorite yacht charters available in Cancún is AGUILA, a stunning Sunseeker Predator 73 with accommodation for 10 guests in 5 cabins. AGUILA is ideal for crewed charters in the Gulf of Mexico and the Yucatán Peninsula.
