Luxury yachts in Mexico
The five legendary vessels owned by prominent Mexican figures — and the superyachts you can actually charter this season in La Paz and Cabo San Lucas.
These vessels symbolize their owners' wealth and offer a glimpse into a lavish lifestyle on the country's waters. Below are the five most impressive luxury yachts in Mexico owned by Mexican figures — their features, their scale and what makes each one exceptional — followed by the superyachts YACHTSMX charters right now.
01 Built by Blohm + Voss in 1990 and now owned by Ricardo Salinas Pliego, founder of Grupo Salinas. Acquired in 2021 for about $125 million, its estimated value today exceeds $200 million: a helipad, heated pool, cinema, 13 suites for up to 27 guests and a gold-plated name plaque.
02 A 92-meter Blohm & Voss superyacht delivered in 2008 at an estimated $175 million, owned by Alberto Bailleres. Its standout is a living room wrapped in panoramic glass with Italian designer furniture. In 2023 the Mayan Queen rescued 104 people from a sinking migrant boat near Greece.
03 Formerly Princess Mariana, this 78-meter yacht was designed by Espen Oino with an original interior by Francois Zuretti, linked to Carlos Peralta Quintero. A beach club that converts into a pool, a helipad that doubles as a golf course, a nightclub and a 13-seat cinema. Top speed 16 knots, range 7,500 nautical miles.
04 Launched in 2009 as the Azteca, this 72-meter CRN yacht was designed by Nuvolari Lenard and originally owned by Ricardo Salinas Pliego before its 2021 sale. It sleeps 12 guests with a crew of 28, twin Caterpillar diesels for 16 knots and a 6,000-nautical-mile range built for transoceanic journeys.
05 A 50-meter Trinity superyacht delivered in December 2012 at an estimated $50 million, owned by Alfredo Chedraui Obeso. Walnut and onyx interiors, six cabins for 12 guests, space for 11 crew, a pool-and-bar terrace, an outdoor gym and a jacuzzi — a study in personal attention to detail.

Yes. While the Lady Moura and Mayan Queen are private flagships, YACHTSMX charters three genuine superyachts — the Benetti 134', Numarine 132' and Gulf Craft 141' — for private trips in La Paz, Cabo San Lucas and a Miami-to-Bahamas crossing. Each is fully crewed with captain and chef.
Weekly charter rates start from $200,000 USD for the Gulf Craft 141' in Cabo and from $294,000 USD for the Numarine 132'. The Benetti 134' is quoted on request. These rates are the charter fee only — APA and 16% IVA are billed separately.
APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) covers the running costs of the charter: fuel, food and beverages, dockage and customs. On these superyachts the weekly price is the charter fee only, so APA — typically 25 to 30 percent — is estimated up front and reconciled at the end against actual use.
The Benetti 134' and Numarine 132' depart Marina La Paz for the Sea of Cortez — Balandra, Espiritu Santo and Isla Partida. The Numarine 132' also runs the Miami-to-Bahamas crossing. The Gulf Craft 141' departs Marina Cabo San Lucas for El Arco and the bay's signature anchorages.
