Do Spring Break 2013 in Style on a Luxury Yacht Charter in Cancun, Mexico!

Spring Break is one of the most popular holidays of the year, often providing families with their first break of the year since Christmas. Whether you live in Europe or North America, you will have more than likely experienced miserable, damp and snowy weather up until now. Spring Break provides a priceless opportunity to get some sunshine and feel rejuvenated for the next few months. Cancún and the Mayan Riviera are one of the most popular destinations for Spring Break, due to the fact that visitors are guaranteed sunshine, white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters. An even better way to spend your vacation and avoid all the other tourists who head to Mexico is to have your own private luxury yacht charter.

Cancún is an up and coming yachting 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.

Divers and Snorkelers have the chance to see more than 500 different types of fish, as well as 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.

Cancún is also one of the most popular sportfishing destinations in the world. Depending on the season that you visit, you may have the opportunity to catch kingfish, barracuda, blue marlin, sailfish, tuna and mahi-mahi. On top of fishing, whale watching, snorkeling and scuba diving, tourists can 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.

There is no better yacht to charter in the whole of the Mayan Riviera than the luxurious Sunseeker Predator 73 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 should 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.

The main beaches to visit include La Spiaggia Liscia Ruia, La Spiaggia del Principe and La Spiaggia Romazzino.

Porto Cervo itself sports a delightful array of cafes, bars and restaurants offering typical Mediterranean delights such as Pane Carasau, local hams, Pecorino cheese and home made pasta. Why not stop off in this historic port for a glass of famous Sardinian wine before visiting its large parks and elegant boutiques.

Enjoy a Luxury Day Charter Around Ibiza!

Ibiza is without a doubt one of the best known holiday destinations! But there’s more to Ibiza than just the nightclubbing – the island offers plenty of natural beauty and culture, along with over 50 fantastic beaches! So, if you’re planning to visit Ibiza this year, why not spend a day of your vacation out at sea? Here is the itinerary for a typical day charter from Ibiza.

Starting in Ibiza town, either Marina Ibiza, Ibiza Magna or Marina Botafoch, you can cruise along the beautiful coastline of the island, enjoying stunning landscapes, clear turquoise waters and small caves along the coast to explore. You will see the silhouette of the castle of the old town, Dalt Vila as you start your charter for the day, before heading past the famous beaches of Ibiza, Playa d’en Bossa, Es Cavallet and las Salinas. Stop off at Playa de ses Illetes in Formentera, where you can swim, sunbathe or just wander around to your heart’s content!

Pay a visit to the natural harbour of La Savina, Formentera Port, one of the main gateways to the island, before settling down to enjoy some lunch. We would highly recommend Juan Y Andrea, Tanga or Molí de Salt for a choice of restaurants, where you can enjoy amazing meat or fish dishes, including the paella which Spain is so famous for. You can relax and eat on the sandy beaches, and indulge in a short siesta after lunch; when in Spain do as the Spaniards do!

If you’re really looking to indulge, try out the natural mud baths in Spalmador, which you will find at the far end of s’Alga beach; this 40,000 sq metre wide salt plain, with liquid mud right in the centre – a perfect substitute for a spa! Towards the end of your charter, head to Salinas – here you can dance to music from the very best international DJs, and enjoy a drink or two with your friends. To finish the day off, visit Es Vedra, to watch the sun go down over the sea, before returning to port.

So, if you are interested in exploring Ibiza by yacht, one of our favourites is JAX OF IBIZA, a Sunseeker Predator 92 Sport. This sleek build from Sunseeker features a flybridge, offering even more space for you to sit back in the sun. With a walnut finish and cream furnishings, the interior oozes elegance, you may struggle to decide whether you want to spend time inside or out! Accommodating up to
8 guests in 4 cabins, JAX OF IBIZA is available to charter from €6,800 per day.
