Cruising East Mexico: when to go and where to anchor
Best time
The primary charter season runs from December to May, offering stable trade winds and lower humidity. June to November is hurricane season, with increased rainfall and higher temperatures. February to April provides consistent weather, making it the busiest period for tourism. The shoulder months of November and May offer quieter anchorages and manageable conditions. Prevailing winds are typically from the east and southeast.
Practical tips
- Cancún (CUN) is the primary entry point, with marinas located 20–30 minutes from the airport.
- Strict environmental regulations apply within the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve and near coral reef zones; always verify local anchoring restrictions.
- Provisioning is most reliable in larger hubs like Cancún and Playa del Carmen; remote areas have limited supply options.
Anchorages to know
- Isla MujeresThe harbour provides sheltered moorings and access to the town, serving as a primary base for cruising the northern coast.
- Puerto AventurasThis gated marina community offers secure berthing and necessary facilities for yachts navigating the central Riviera Maya.
- CozumelThe island provides deep-water access and mooring opportunities on its leeward side, sheltered from the open Caribbean Sea.
- Bahía de la AscensiónLocated within the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, this large bay offers remote, shallow-water anchorage for experienced crews.
