You can't miss the first Nautical Festival in Cancún!

The General Direction of Municipal Tourism and the Municipal Sports Institute presented the first edition of the Nautical Festival in Cancun between March 1st to the 3rd, we where able to watch 180 international athletes from sports like windsurf, jet surf, jet ski, stand up paddle , wakeboard, sailboats and many other water sports demonstrate their water skills in different competitions and exhibitions. We also had the presence of more than 5 national champions. In the Motorsurf Branch, a continental championship was at stake.1st place in the Men category was Eric from USA, in the women division was anjie, also from the USA, and in the hobby category was Hector a 15 y.o. from Mexico.

This fun event took place in the majestic Puerto Cancun Marina, next to the Marina Town Center with a schedule from 9am to 6pm. The admission was completely free! with live music and a great gastronomic show for the whole family that went to watch the show in a beautiful weekend at the Cancun nautical festival.

There was great expectation to see all these disciplines in a single event, over the past years cancun has been host of several Sports events including Watersports in the Nichupté lagoon, thats why, this time they wanted to bring them all in just one event.

Cancún once again adds more value to sports tourism with this type of events and activities, keeping the door open for athletes of different nationalities to join and participate. as expected Athletes from Mexico, the United States, Germany, Canada and Chile participated in this first edition of the Nautical Festival.

Definitely this event was worth attending! People enjoyed a full day of sports exhibitions, good music, food and the best family atmosphere! Just 25 minutes away from our Solaris Resorts. We know several guest assisted and had fun!
