cruising
Cruising Guide to Belize and Mexico's Caribbean Coast, including Guatemala's Rio Dulce by Freya Rauscher covers the entire region from Mexico to Guatemala. John Rain's Mexico Boating Guide is also helpful. Not sure about chartering in Cancun but having cruised that area I would recommend Belize. Protected waters, lots of options, and many places to charter.

Cancun
I have charter out of Cancun. There is one guy who owns two Hunter 34's and a swan. Mexican law says that you cannot just charter a boat without a skipper from the company. Not sure if his boats survived last years hurricances. It cost me $600 a day for boat and crew. The price drops when chartering the boat for more than one day. I have had a great time on the boat. One draw back is he doesn't have a licsense for the national underwater park which limits the places you can go. Melissa
