Uhhh, My Elglish friends from Bristol have got an amazing, fantastic day onboard our motor yacht Allegra. If i could pictured it i wouldn t done it better that our Mother Nature... A very long time ago i did learn a say : Life is a breath, and breath is a moment every time we breath agein we live agein... Enjoy that moment 🌞 Very, very chil out, pleasant and cool people (clients) over all. It would be definetly great to meet you agein... Carpe Diem my friends, Capt Ive

My fiancé and I were coming from the U.S. and had an amazing experience touring Capri & Nerano. Luigi was very easy to communicate with and was able to customize our boat experience. Everything was efficient from start to finish. We had Gianni and one other skipper on board to take us around the island - they were super friendly and very accommodating. They provided us with towels and floating devices as well as Prosecco and snacks. They also told us historical information about landmarks on the boat ride. Would highly recommend using Luigi’s boat company!!

A great day with 2 great couples. So nice to have them on board. Easy going and understanding in the face of the little problems we faced during that trip. I just hope all clients where that nice.

I had a great experience renting out my boat. The renter treated the boat with care and returned it in excellent condition. Communication was smooth and timely, making the process easy and stress-free. I highly recommend this renter as responsible and trustworthy, and I would be happy to rent to them again in the future.

We had a good experience on the boat all day. Speed of the boat was good enough to see some nice places along the coast. Also good service, and good guidance. Recomand.

Our favorite destinations

I discovered Click&Boat surfing the Internet. I am a naturally curious person, and your website caught my attention right away. I started reading about your general terms and conditions, where I quickly found a phone number. After talking to the client service, which was very pleasing, I decided to try out the platform.

At the age of 16, I was volunteering for the Red Cross of the Sea, where our goal was to assure sailing regattas. It is during that period that I learned to navigate on small boats for the first time. After 30 years, I finally got to own my first fishing boat bigger than 8 meters in length. Five years ago, a friend of mine who made his fishing boat available for charter, invited me to come aboard with him and some clients. It is then that I saw how much people appreciated the sea. So, I decided to pass my professional license to be able to take people out on the water in Mallorca.

The service that I offer is simple charters without skipper, because many people own a boat license, and our vessels are easy to handle. We are starting private excursions where we can take people on the boats to places they could not go to by themselves.

Most of the profits we make are spent on fleet upgrades. I always like to remember how thankful renters are when they are satisfied with our service. 

Maribel and I would like to thank Click & Boat for their trust and service.

Regards to the entire Click & Boat team,

Winter is a crucial period to practice boat maintenance so that you can go full speed ahead with a healthy boat into the next sailing season. View Post

No matter how experienced you are it is always useful to do a quick review of boat safety procedures before setting out to sea. To navigate safely be sure to monitor the weather, the traffic around you and make checklists to ensure you’ve packed everything. Here are our top boat safety tips. View Post

How to Rent a Boat with Getmyboat

Frequently asked questions.

Yes, you can rent a boat for a day with Getmyboat. You can also rent a boat by the hour, half-day, for multiple days, or any duration that owners set on their boat rental listings.

The cost depends on the type of boat you want to rent. A pontoon boat rental can start as low as $200 a day and for something more luxurious like a motor yacht rental the cost can increase to $5,000 a day.

No, you do not need a license to rent a boat. With Getmyboat you can rent a boat that includes a licensed captain so that you can enjoy your time on the water. If you want to drive the boat yourself, depending on the specific location you will need to at the very least have a Boating Safety Certificate.

Depending on availability, you can rent anything from a pontoon boat to a motor yacht. Getmyboat has rental options for every type of boater. We have sailboats, wakeboarding boats, yachts, and party boats all for rent through our easy-to-use platform.

Renting a boat has never been easier thanks to Getmyboat. It’s simple, just search Getmyboat by the location you wish to visit, filter the boats based on type and group size, and submit a rental inquiry once you find a boat you like. Boat owners will respond with a custom offer and you can confirm and pay for the rental all through the website.

Typically a half-day boat rental is any rental duration that lasts 4 hours. Boat owners usually like to split the day into two rentals, one in the morning for 4 hours and then a second for the later part of the day. Through Getmyboat you can specify what timeframe you would like to reserve and the owner will let you know if they can accommodate your rental times.

Renting a boat is simple and quick with Getmyboat. You first search for the type of boat you would like to rent by location. You review the boats available for rent in that location and then submit a rental inquiry to the owner of the boat you want to rent. You specify the dates, group size, and duration of the rental. After you submit the inquiry, the owner will respond with a customized rental offer for you to review. Once you agree on the rental terms, you pay for the rental in full via credit card through Getmyboat to secure your rental reservation.

The Ultimate Guide to Boat Rental with Captain: Everything You Need to Know

If you’re looking for a relaxing day out on the water without the stress of navigating and operating a boat yourself, then a boat rental with a captain may be just what you need. Whether you’re planning a family outing, a romantic date, or a fun-filled day with friends, renting a boat with a captain can provide an enjoyable and hassle-free experience. In this ultimate guide, we will cover everything you need to know about boat rental with captain, from the benefits to the types of boats available and the key considerations before booking.

Benefits of Boat Rental with Captain

One of the main advantages of renting a boat with a captain is that it allows you to sit back and relax while someone else takes care of all the navigation and operation. This is particularly beneficial for those who are not experienced boaters or simply want to enjoy their time on the water without any worries. Having a knowledgeable captain on board also means that you can make the most out of your boating experience by getting insider tips on local attractions, hidden gems, and best spots for activities such as fishing or snorkeling.

Types of Boats Available

When it comes to boat rental with captain, there is no shortage of options available. The type of boat you choose will depend on your preferences and the activities you have in mind. Some popular choices include pontoon boats, deck boats, fishing boats, sailboats, and even luxury yachts. Pontoon boats are ideal for leisurely cruises and can accommodate larger groups comfortably. Deck boats offer more speed and agility for water sports enthusiasts. Fishing boats are equipped with all the necessary gear for an exciting angling adventure. Sailboats provide an authentic sailing experience for those looking for something more serene. Luxury yachts offer top-notch amenities such as lounging areas, kitchens, bathrooms, and even sleeping quarters.

Key Considerations Before Booking

Before booking a boat rental with captain, there are a few key considerations to keep in mind. First, determine the size of your group and the amenities you require. This will help you select the right type and size of boat for your needs. Next, consider the duration of your rental. Some boat rental companies offer hourly rentals, while others may require a minimum half-day or full-day booking. It’s also important to check if there are any additional fees such as fuel charges or gratuity for the captain. Lastly, don’t forget to inquire about safety measures and insurance coverage provided by the rental company.

In conclusion, renting a boat with a captain is an excellent way to enjoy a day on the water without any stress or hassle. The benefits of having an experienced captain on board, combined with the wide variety of boats available, make it an appealing option for all types of boating enthusiasts. By considering factors such as group size, amenities required, duration of rental, and safety measures beforehand, you can ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience on your next boat rental with captain adventure.

Yacht Rentals in Playa del Carmen: FAQs

Here are the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about Playa del Carmen yacht charters:

Playa del Carmen boat rentals typically leave from the Puerto Aventuras marina, as there is not a marina in Playa del Carmen. If you’re willing to travel a little further, other possible departure points include Cozumel, Cancun, Puerto Morelos, or Isla Mujeres.

The cost of a Playa del Carmen yacht rental varies depending on the type of boat, size of the yacht, duration, and food and amenities included. Prices typically range from $1,200-$2,500+ USD for a 4-5 hour charter. There is also typically a $10-$15 USD dock fee per person that is due upon arrival.

Yes, food is typically included in a Playa del Carmen boat rental. Food options can range from snacks to a full meal, depending on the type of charter you book. Most include ceviche, guacamole, and snacks, or you can arrange for your own private chef to prepare a full meal for an additional charge. Check with your yacht rental provider for more details on what food is included.

Yes, unlimited drinks and a domestic open bar are typically included in Playa del Carmen private boat rentals. You’ll have the option to enjoy alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages such as cocktails like margaritas, piña coladas, and Mai tais, as well as beer, wine, and soft drinks.

No, transportation is typically not included in Playa del Carmen luxury yacht rentals. However, most yacht rental companies offer ground transportation to the marina for an additional cost. Or you can simply take a taxi from wherever you’re staying to the marina in Puerto Aventuras.

If the weather is very bad, most yacht rental companies in Playa del Carmen will reschedule your charter. And if that’s not a possibility, then they will typically offer a full refund. However, it’s important to know that rain and clouds are not considered bad weather for yachting, and a charter will usually still go on as planned. The conditions at sea can often be much better than on shore and you’ll still have a great time!

It is expected to leave at least a 15% tip for the captain and crew. Make sure to bring cash (pesos or USD). After the experience, I think you will be more than willing to leave a generous tip!

Playa del Carmen and Riviera Maya yachts and catamarans can typically be booked for 4 or 5 hours. You can usually choose from a morning or afternoon departure.

Conclusion: Yacht Rentals in Playa del Carmen Guide

I hope this guide to the best Playa del Carmen yacht rentals has been helpful in planning your next getaway!

Renting a yacht for a day in Playa del Carmen is one of the best things to do in Riviera Maya and there’s no better way to explore the area’s stunning coastline than on your own private boat!

I’ve done both group Playa del Carmen boat tours and private charters and let me just say that having your own private yacht charter is pretty much 1000x better!

You’ll have the entire boat to yourselves and you can customize your entire experience however you’d like.

Plus, most of them come with open bars, delicious food, and a private captain and crew members to cater to your every need.

🇲🇽 Traveling to Mexico soon?

These are the Mexico travel resources I use and recommend:

🏨 Hotels : I always find the best deals for Mexico hotels and resorts on Expedia or Booking.com . If you prefer a vacation rental, check VRBO as they are often cheaper than AirBnB’s added fees!

✈️ Flights : I recommend using Skyscanner for the best Mexico flight deals. Be sure to sign up for their price alerts for your preferred travel dates.

🚗 Rental Cars : I recommend using Discover Cars because you can compare multiple car rental companies and see detailed ratings for overall value, ease of pick-up, efficiency of agents, car condition, and overall time spent.

🚙 Cancun Airport Transportation : I recommend booking a private transfer with Cancun Airport Transportation for the quickest and most hassle-free option!

🤿 Tours & Activities: I always use Viator or GetYourGuide for booking tours and activities in Mexico. You can cancel up to 24 hours before the tour for a full refund, plus they have excellent customer service if you were to have any issues.

🚨 Travel Insurance: After my Dad broke his hand in a taxi accident in Playa del Carmen, I always recommend buying travel insurance before your trip for added peace of mind! I recommend Travel Insurance Master for short trips or Safety Wing for digital nomads.

☀️ Biodegradable Sunscreen : Don’t forget to add biodegradable sunscreen to your Mexico packing list ! Regular sunscreen is prohibited on most snorkeling tours, so you’ll need to pack some biodegradable sunscreen for sun protection. I recommend Sun Bum Sunscreen , which is reef-friendly, vegan, and cruelty-free.

Navigating the Benefits of Boat Rental with Captain: What You Should Consider

Are you dreaming of a day out on the water, exploring picturesque coastlines or fishing in serene lakes? Renting a boat with a captain could be the perfect solution for you. Not only does it offer convenience and peace of mind, but it also opens up a world of possibilities. In this article, we will explore the benefits of boat rental with a captain and what you should consider before embarking on your nautical adventure.

Safety First: Expert Guidance and Peace of Mind

When renting a boat with a captain, safety is paramount. A qualified captain brings years of experience navigating different waters and handling various types of boats. They possess an in-depth understanding of local regulations, weather patterns, and potential hazards that may arise during your trip.

Having an expert guide onboard ensures that you can relax and enjoy your time on the water without worrying about navigation or technicalities. Captains are trained to handle emergencies, making them invaluable in case unexpected situations arise.

Explore New Waters: Local Knowledge for Hidden Gems

One of the greatest advantages of renting a boat with a captain is their extensive local knowledge. Whether you’re visiting a new destination or exploring your own backyard, captains possess insider information about hidden gems that may not be found in tourist guides.

From secret coves to secluded beaches or prime fishing spots, their expertise allows you to experience places off the beaten path that are inaccessible to regular tourists. Captains can provide valuable recommendations based on your preferences, ensuring that every moment on the water is filled with discovery.

Learn from the Best: Educational Opportunities

Renting a boat with a captain offers more than just leisure; it presents an opportunity to learn from seasoned professionals who have dedicated their lives to boating. Captains are often more than willing to share their knowledge about navigation techniques, fishing tips, or even local history and wildlife.

Whether you’re a novice or seasoned boater, spending time with a captain can be an enriching experience. They can teach you how to handle different boat types, read nautical charts, and even improve your fishing skills. Such interactions can turn a simple boat rental into an educational adventure.

Stress-Free Experience: Sit Back and Enjoy

Choosing to rent a boat with a captain means you can sit back, relax, and truly enjoy your time on the water. Captains take care of all the logistics, from preparing the boat and ensuring it is properly maintained to handling docking procedures and fueling.

Instead of worrying about the technicalities of boating, you get to focus on what matters most – creating memories with family and friends or indulging in your favorite activities. With a captain at the helm, you have the freedom to soak in the beauty of your surroundings without any stress or responsibilities.

In conclusion, renting a boat with a captain provides numerous benefits that enhance your overall boating experience. From ensuring safety and peace of mind to exploring hidden gems and learning from experts, this option offers convenience and opens up new possibilities. So next time you plan a day out on the water, consider renting a boat with a captain for an unforgettable adventure.
