Gorgeous 29ft Sea Ray Sundancer book 6 hrs and get a free seadoo jetski
Pepe met us at the dock and got us settled in. We went through the lagoon and into the beautiful bay to play on jetskis for an hour. Next was to Isla Mujeres to snorkel then stopped at a beachside restaurant for lunch. The boat had water, soda and beer for drinks. We had lots of relaxing fun.

DSTNY 46' Sea Ray Yacht for 15 guests in Cancún, Quintana Roo
If you have the opportunity to rent this yacht don’t hesitate. I rented this boat for me and my husband and we had an amazing time just the two of us, the captain Erick and the crew-mate Alexis made sure of it. The yacht itself is open and has a lot of seats. The host is very communicative and generous giving us an extra hour of time. Our captain Erick was amazing he made sure to take photos for us, videos of the water and us swimming. He was so much fun and was able to accommodate all of our requests. Alexis made sure we had coronas and water at all times and was a great help. We had the opportunity to swim in the bluest waters ive seen in the middle of the ocean, saw large turtles, it was amazing. We spent an hour and were able to ride golf carts on isla mujeres. We then docked in the beach area of the island. I would recommend at least 4 hours if not more. All around amazing trip made especially great by Erick and Alexis. Thank you!

Booking the ITZAE for our yacht trip was a decision we won’t soon forget. The yacht itself stands out with a sleek design, fully equipped with all the modern amenities you’d expect, and maintained impeccably well. It’s a top-notch vessel that offers a comfortable and enjoyable voyage. The crew deserves special praise for their professionalism. They ensured smooth sailing, were always ready to assist, and maintained a pleasant atmosphere throughout the journey. But it was the journey that made the experience truly unforgettable. With a fantastic view, it was a wonderful way to escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. In conclusion, if you’re looking for a high-quality yacht experience, I’d recommend the ITZAE without a second thought. It delivers on comfort, service, and an all-round great time.
