5 Catamaran Party Cruises in Mexico Worth Booking

“Very good - but I'd recommend bringing your own full face snorkel if you don't get along with the old style where you have to bite down. Boat crew and drivers were good and helpful, but afterwards in the restaurant / cab collection was a bit chaotic.”

2.CATAMARAN to Isla Mujeres, Snorkel & Beach Club by Xcaret

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 205 reviews · 7 hours 45 minutes (approx.) · from $74

Sail from Cancun to Isla Mujeres on a Xcaret catamaran, stop at El Meco Reef for guided snorkeling, then enjoy a beach club, buffet or box lunch, drinks, downtown free time, and Cancun’s Scenic Tower. The tour lasts about 7 hours 45 minutes and costs $74.66, plus a $20 dock fee.

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 157 reviews · 7 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $89

Spend about 7.5 hours sailing from Cancun to Isla Mujeres, snorkeling at Bahia Mujeres, eating a buffet lunch, and exploring the island. Guides such as Oscar and Andres have earned praise for keeping the day lively and organized, but expect a social boat, persistent vendors, and a short, current-sensitive snorkel.

“The snorkeling is for only about 20 mins before you get to the island. They bring you to a tourist trap where they ripped me off $350 for 2 small bottles of tequila. They wrapped the bottles up so fast I wasn’t able to examine them but they were not what they said they were. I would say the boat ride was nice but taking a fairy over and exploring on your own would be much better. If you’re interested in the snorkeling part, find a different tour. Would not recommend. Not worth the money. The Black Pearl where the boat brings you is a total rip off. Avoid at…”
