WEATHER CONDITIONS 

The weather in the Caribbean changes frequently. In the event that you see a weather forecast indicating a cloudy day with wind or rain, this is no grounds for concern.

The reasons are as follows:

First of all, most meteorological systems give incorrect forecasts in the area due to the fact that the climate is very changeable in the Riviera Maya. 

We are experts in navigation, and we are informed of weather updates at all times through different sources. If anyone is able to determine whether a tour will take place, it is us. We will inform you if the weather is unsuitable for the experience.

Where it may be raining or cloudy at your hotel, some 20 minutes away, it could be sunny at the marina. The climate changes in different areas of the Riviera Maya.

It is usually always sunnier at sea than on land. It may be cloudy or drizzling on land, but once the boat goes out to the sea the conditions change and everyone can enjoy the sun.

Just outside the marina in Puerto Aventuras, we have a huge advantage in that there is a protected area with beautiful sandbanks, where we can take you and anchor up in case of high winds. This way, you get to enjoy the yacht, bar, and swimming activities, and still have an amazing experience.

Yachting in the Caribbean, even on a rainy day, is a wonderful experience, as the sea temperature never changes. Swimming, chatting, and having fun on a sandbank in the middle of the sea is a magical experience, even in the rain. If this happened to be the case, you can rest assured that it will be worth every single minute.
