perfectly formed cove an equally ideal location to explore. The smooth rocks lining this bay are perfect for diving and the rich
marine life is plentiful.

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.
