When planning a luxurious sea adventure in Cancun, understanding the differences between yachts and catamarans can help you make the best choice for your trip. Both offer unique experiences, but which is better for you? Let’s explore.
A vessel is any watercraft capable of navigating on or underwater. This broad category includes boats, yachts, catamarans, and even submarines. Vessels can be recreational or for transport.
A yacht is a luxury vessel used for recreation, often associated with opulence and comfort that's why are popular the Cancun yacht rentals. There are various types:
Luxury yachts are often synonymous with extravagance. For instance, Jeff Bezos’ Flying Fox, a megayacht, boasts unparalleled luxury.
Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, owns a US$500 million megayacht called Flying Fox. This huge boat is 136 meters long, travels at a maximum speed of 15 knots, and costs 4 million Euros per week to rent. Beyonce herself celebrated her birthday aboard Flying Fox.
The sailing ship Sea Cloud is considered the oldest passenger ship in the world. It was built in 1931 and was a weather ship during World War II. Currently, this sailboat is available for private charter with departures from the dock in Cartagena.
The world's most expensive painting, "Salvator Mundi" by Leonardo Da Vinci, is inside the mega yacht Serene. This $134 million vessel is on the list of the ten largest mega yachts on the planet, with a length of 134 meters. It can store a submarine and has an internal saltwater pool that can be converted into a dock.
The motor yacht known as History Supreme is a yacht whose hull is made of solid gold and has a price tag of 3800 million dollars. It is covered with 100,000 kilos of precious metals, adorned with platinum, has onboard a bottle of liquor with diamonds, an aquarium made of 24-carat gold, and has a wall with a piece of art made of meteor stones and bones of a Tyrannosaurus Rex (the bones alone cost $89,000).
