As part of the project, from the very beginning we set out to identify the nautical needs of the region in order to host a private event. When we couldn’t find a catamaran on the market that met the level of quality and safety we envisioned we decided to build it ourselves!
We partnered with a shipyard that had the experience to understand and craft what the market truly needed. After working on the design and undergoing a year and a half of construction, the result is this:
At Grupo MAYEY, we believe that every symbol has a purpose, and every design carries a story. That’s why our identity doesn’t just sail through the turquoise waters of the Mexican Caribbean it also flows through the deep, ancestral roots of Mexico’s cultural legacy.
In the ancient civilizations of Mesoamerica, gods were not distant deities they were the embodiment of nature itself. Sacred animals and mythical beings served as their physical representations Quetzalcóatl, the feathered serpent Tezcatlipoca, in the form of a jaguar or coyote Xólotl, the dog who guides souls through the underworld Cipactli, the primordial crocodile beast.
Today, these gods live on through popular art and one of their most powerful expressions is the alebrije a fantastic creature formed by the fusion of real and imagined animals, brought to life through vibrant colors and ancestral symbols.
“Ajal”, which means awakening in the Maya language, is much more than a name. It’s the very soul of what MAYEY stands for.
Our emblematic alebrije was conceived as a mythical being made up of native animals from air, land, and sea among them: the jaguar, quetzal, loggerhead turtle, macaw, whale shark, axolotl, and the coqueta hummingbird of Guerrero. All of them endangered. All of them sacred. All of them symbols of the natural richness we are committed to honoring and protecting.
The colors that bring AJAL to life are inspired by the ceremonial embroidery of the Otomi people a reflection of ancient Mexican craftsmanship. Its shape and wings echo the magic and precision of indigenous artisans, whose worldview still breathes through textiles, rituals, and the land itself.
AJAL is a collective awakening a call to reconnect with the natural world. It is a symbolic voice for biodiversity, for art, and for the ancestral memory of Mexico.
The name of our flagship catamaran, KUKUL, was not chosen by chance.
In Maya tradition, Kukul is the quetzal a sacred bird, symbol of freedom, fertility, and abundance. Its feathers once crowned the headdresses of great leaders, and its song still echoes through the stone walls of Chichén Itzá.
Today, like the quetzal, KUKUL sails the sea carrying a message: that tourism can also be a conscious act.
Every event aboard is an opportunity to honor the living culture that surrounds us to inspire a more respectful view of the environment and the species that call it home. KUKUL is more than just a catamaran. It is a vessel of meaning. A celebration of who we were, who we are, and what we can still protect together.
