Luxury Yacht Charter Guide to East Mexico

Bright, beautiful and a conjurer of dreams – the eastern side of Mexico is a yacht destination that seems to bridge the gap between ancient civilization and new explorer. The world has spoken in wonder of deep cut cenotes, crumbling Mayan civilizations, and palm fringed beaches that seem to be plucked from the imagination. There are steamy jungles to trek through, wild waters to sail, and elegant coastal resorts where hand woven hammocks and fiery mezcal are the name of the game. From the excitement of Mexico City to the beloved well-trodden paths of Tulum, East Mexico is yacht charter magic.

Reasons to Charter a Yacht in East Mexico

Colorful Culture

Swaying in hammocks, sipping mezcal, and dining on chocolate chipotle – Mexican culture is fabulously fun. There’s a whole mishmash of cultural roots sewn into the rich and varied tapestry that makes up East Mexico. From the Mesoamerican to deep indigenous roots, Spanish influence, and Aztec art – there is so much to soak up. The art culture is hugely diverse – from Frida to Diego, and the food surpasses the simple idea of tacos and guac to make way for magical moles, slow cooked pork, and impeccable seafood.

Artistic Draw

Mexico’s art scene is ever booming and the east is where you will find some of the finest examples of the talent to bloom on these shores. Frida Kahlo needs little introduction, and her blue house in Mexico City is a must for those wanting to admire her life works. Diego Rivieras work can also be found etched on public buildings throughout the city. Mexico City also brims with beautiful art galleries and well stocked museums. Be sure to visit the Palacio de Belles Artes and the Museo del Arte Moderne to see some of the finest work in the country.

Afterhours Fun

From Mexico City’s sultry afterhours scene to the thriving nightlife blowing up the coast along in Tampico, for those charter guests looking for a dose of dancing after dark, the East Coast of Mexico knows how to keep the party going. While other coastal stretches can be all sunset and chill, Tampico brims with tropical cocktails and Caribbean afro style sounds to keep you moving beneath moonlight until the first fingers of dawn.

Where to Visit in East Mexico

Mexico City

Buzzing, bright, and filled to the brim with beautiful art – Mexico City is well worth leaving the coast behind and heading inland to sample its fine dining, glorious galleries, and vibrant nightlife scene. Coyocan is where Frida Kahlo lovers should head to see the artist’s work proudly displayed in her beautiful family home. Culture lovers will adore the Palacio de Bellas Artes, the Palacio Nacional, and the larger than life Museo Nacional de Antropologia. Be sure to take a street food tour to discover the secret spots and get your fill of hand crafted mezcal cocktails in one of the thousands of funky bars.

Veracruz, Mexico

Mexico’s oldest European city is five centuries old and is a marvel of fascination. While not the prettiest yacht charter destination in Mexico, it delivers another side to the Gulf. Bustling ports, colonial splendor and a dose of grit mixed in with the faded grandeur captures a spirited vibe that could only be found on the Gulf of Mexico. Step ashore to visit the main square, also known as the Zocolo in the evenings to people watch and dance beneath the streetlamps. Witness the spots of Spanish colonization at San Juan de Ulua and pay a visit to the macabre ghost town of La Antigua, a place colored with a history of human sacrifice, tangled vines, and the historic house of Cortes.

When to Charter a Yacht in East Mexico

March and May can be beautiful times to visit East Mexico for those seeking springtime flair. Even though the streets of Mexico City may be bustling during this beautiful time, it’s a great opportunity to soak up the atmosphere. October and November also bring dry soft weather to these shores.
