WELCOME TO LA CASA DEL CAPITAN OR THE CAPTAIN'S HOUSE

”Esta es su Casa”. This Mexican expression means welcome to our home.

Since 1965 the Carranza Family has vacationed on Isla Mujeres. For several years they rented a house on Playa Norte (now the restaurant Chi Chi's). It was Capitan Carranza's dream to live on this island when he retired from Mexicana Airlines. As a pilot, whenever had a flight assigned to this area, he flew over the Island as low as possible and the locals knew that Capitan Caranza was flying the plane.

In 1987 La Casa del Capitan was built and ever since our family has gathered for reunions here. The oldest son inaugurated his 35 ft boat “La Crisis” on the lagoon across of the house. The oldest daughter was engaged the same day and that is why there is a commemorative plaque named “punta compromiso” on the ocean yard.

During starlight nights, friends and family gather on the terraces to listen to the many anecdotes of Capitan Carranza's adventures.

We wish you enjoy this family house as much as we do.
