Luxury Yacht Charters in the Sea of Cortez: Understanding Costs and Inclusions

This guide provides a comprehensive breakdown of yacht charter expenses

Traditional Charters vs. YACHTSMX.COM: The All-Inclusive Advantage

Base Charter Fee

The base charter fee represents the cost of traditional charters, the crew’s wages, and the use of onboard amenities. This fee varies based on factors such as the yacht’s size, onboard features, and the season. Luxury yachts equipped with premium amenities like water toys, jet skis, and gourmet dining options may have higher fees.

The Best Seasons to Rent a Yacht in Baja

Charter rates fluctuate with the seasons:

  • Low Season (January – February): While still a great time to visit, temperatures are slightly cooler, and marine activity is at its peak with whale migrations.

  • High Season (March – December): This period offers perfect weather for multi-day yacht experiences. The waters remain warm, marine life is abundant, and every trip becomes an unforgettable adventure.

We have boats of all sizes and accommodations. Visit our Packages here to check out pricing.

Additional Expenses (Traditional Charters vs. YACHTSMX)

In traditional yacht charters, several additional costs apply, but YACHTSMX.COM offers all-inclusive pricing, eliminating these extra charges:

  • Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA): Standard yacht charters charge a 30-35% APA for fuel, food, drinks, and other expenses. At YACHTSMX.COM, everything is included, so you won’t face unexpected charges.

  • Value Added Tax (VAT): Some destinations charge VAT on charters, but Mexico’s tax policies are favorable. Our team handles all necessary paperwork, ensuring a hassle-free experience.

  • Alcohol: We provide beers, margaritas, and mojitos. Any other type of alcohol can be ordered through us or purchased at a liquor store and brought on board.

  • Crew Gratuities: We do not charge tips. That is between the client and the crew. A suggested tip of 10-15% can be given directly to the captain at the end of the charter.

Iconic Destinations in the Sea of Cortez

San Francisquito Island

Known for its pristine beaches and turquoise waters, this secluded island is perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and paddleboarding. The dramatic contrast of the red desert cliffs against the blue sea makes it a must-visit destination.

Espíritu Santo Island

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Espíritu Santo Island is home to an array of marine life, including sea lions at Los Islotes. Guests can enjoy kayaking through its hidden coves or diving in some of Mexico’s best underwater ecosystems.

Balandra Bay

Famous for its crystal-clear, shallow waters and the iconic Mushroom Rock (El Hongo), Balandra Bay offers one of the most scenic anchorages in Baja. The calm waters make it ideal for paddle boarding and beach picnics.
