Having shopped around a bit we wanted something where it was relaxed and not too over crowded. 32 people on an 80ft Catamaran meant lots of room, including stretching out on the bean bags on the trampoline. Saw many boats around us chock full of people and pumping music and were very pleased to be on ours. Lovely Maltese snack and lunch plus cold rose all day and two excellent swim spots. Very chilled with nice company and friendly Captain and crew. Highly recommend”

Cruise from Puerto Juarez to Isla Mujeres aboard a 45-foot catamaran with snorkeling, lunch, unlimited drinks, Playa Norte, downtown time, and a possible spinnaker ride. The English option is useful, but confirm communication on board, and bring $20 cash for the reef tax.

“Our host Jesus was INCREDIBLE. He kept the vibe going and was very clear in his instructions. They kept the drinks going (I didn’t participate in this as I was already hungover lol). One of the guys noticed my hungover state and was super helpful and kind in making sure I felt ok. The buffet food was very mid but decent for the overall price. I would give 5 stars if it weren’t for how persistent the photographer was in trying to make me buy the pictures he took. It really ruined my experience for me. I was trying to be kind but tbh I only really liked like 1-2…”

My wife doesn’t like boats but the crew made her feel very safe and she was able to relax and enjoy it. The food served onboard was surprisingly really good. If your time in the islands is limited I would probably opt for a half day trip, but the full day trip with a stop at Poliegos was well worth it for us.”
