Confirmed, same yacht "Temptation". Did see both Unik and Mister D (other DelaPena yachts) tied up next to it.
I know this thread is from a while back. But reading your comment, what’s is a proper tip for the Captain and crew? How many total crew including the captain?
So, apparently there are tons of changes since this thread, just in the past month or so (since May 2026), not the least of which is that the included drinks are now only beer and soda. Also, only topless allowed, no full nudity, and no other shenanigans. In terms of crew, there is one Captain and one first mate (who used to be the bartender/food prep). I haven't heard any changes and would think that is still the same.
Correct. Captain plus 1. Tip probably depends on how many people total. Captain probably keeps the lion share. We usually tip $80-100 per each couple. But that was when the mate was also the bartender and kept the cups full with mixed drinks. Last trip we got our own beers from the cooler (though he tried) but I think we tipped the same (don’t know about the other couples. )
I had a lovely conversation with Dulce, who is still the yacht concierge (as of 6/5/26). She's been great to work with the past few years. Confirmed all the below: 1. Topless only, no nudity, no using the bedroom, but of course can still use the bathroom 2. Only beer and sodas included for drinks, and only veg and chips and guacamole for snacks. 3. They are still using the 2025 yacht menu. I'll try to get it to upload here, but it's currently on my phone via whatsapp (and cancuncare doesn't seem to like pdf files, even if they are under 1MB). You CAN order food per the menu, as well as bottles service, the prices on the menu are accurate, but if you ask about non-listed items, you may be able to get Dulce to give you a bit of a break. The lowest cost bottle is $195, and after asking she was able to offer some other basic bottles at that rate - think Bacardi rum. You do get an "extra hour" on the boat if you buy a bottle. But keep in mind, if you have 10 people and they all want a mixed drink (assuming you can get everyone to agree to an alcohol), one bottle might be just a single drink per person. Also, perhaps most importantly, you CANNOT USE loyalty credits for anything beyond the $600 rental fee. All in all, and I mentioned this to Dulce as well, seems like for the $600 rental plus $200 for a single bottle with minimal food, where only the rental fee can use loyalty credits, you CAN find cheaper all inclusive options. Certainly if you just want a deck boat-type experience, all inclusive with drinks and slightly better snacks, you can find rentals for $600-800 (which is ostensibly same price or less for much more). And if you want to keep with the cabin yacht experience, you can find rentals for $800-1000, which is still probably a better deal if all 10 people have more than a couple drinks. However, if you are booking by yourself, just make sure you ask about exactly what's included. They may quote one price and then when you go to book they tell you that was just the rental fee, and then there is an additional dock fee, an additional crew member fee, etc etc.
