Cancun to Isla Mujeres: Private Catamaran & Snorkel TourYou’ll board a private catamaran in Cancun with friends or family, sail across turquoise waves with an open bar and local crew, snorkel among surreal sculptures at the Underwater Museum of Art, then sink your feet into Isla Mujeres’ North Beach. Expect laughter, salt air, and those small moments that linger long after you’re back on land.
Cancun Private Sailing & Snorkeling: Isla Mujeres with CrewYou board a private sailboat in Cancun with your group and choose how to spend the day — sail the bay and fish, snorkel in clear water off Isla Mujeres, float on a bed with a drink, or explore the island itself on an 8-hour tour. The crew handles navigation and timing; you decide what matters. Includes snacks, beverages, and a professional crew.Is it for me?Book this if you want a sailboat and snorkeling in Cancun without joining a group or planning the route yourself — the private boat and crew take care of the navigation and timing, so you just show up and decide what matters to you that day.
Isla Mujeres: Private Sunset Boat Trip & SnorkelingYou’ll set sail from Cancún with a small group and your own crew, gliding toward Isla Mujeres as the sun sets over quiet waters.

The evening ends with a peaceful pause at North Beach — you might find yourself wishing it lasted longer.
2 to 5 hours (4)
Isla Mujeres Sunset Cruise and Tour from CancunA sunset cruise and walking tour from Cancun takes you to Isla Mujeres for an evening of history and swimming. You'll walk through the downtown to learn about local landmarks—the church, City Hall esplanade, and the waterfront malecón—then move to Playa Norte before sunset to swim in clear water while the light fades. The tour runs about four hours and includes roundtrip transport from Cancun hotels, plus a cocktail bar with beer and sodas on the boat.Is it for me?Book this tour if you want to see Isla Mujeres in the evening when it's quieter, and if watching the sunset from the water matters more than packing a full day of sightseeing into the afternoon. The timing and the transport are locked in, so the sunset becomes the point instead of something you squeeze in.
Cancun & Isla Mujeres: Catamaran Sailing, Snorkel & SnacksYou’ll sail from Cancun on a catamaran with a local crew, snorkel in bright blue waters near Isla Mujeres, snack on fresh guacamole and salsa with drinks onboard, then enjoy free time exploring downtown Isla Mujeres before heading back—leaving you with that salty hair feeling and maybe a new story or two.
Isla Mujeres Sunset Catamaran from Cancun & BeachYou board a catamaran at 4pm from Cancun and sail to Isla Mujeres, where you have free time to explore the downtown before heading to North Beach for swimming in turquoise water. Drinks are included throughout the day, and the return journey happens at sunset, with the boat back in Cancun by evening. Bilingual guides handle the narration, and the group stays small enough to move around the boat without crowding.Is it for me?Pick this if you want a half-day escape from Cancun that includes a real beach and actual downtime—the fixed 4pm departure and sunset return mean you're not arranging your own transport or timing, and the drinks are already paid for.
Isla Mujeres Sunset Catamaran & Transfer from CancúnYou're picked up from your Cancún hotel in the afternoon and sail to Isla Mujeres on a spacious catamaran with cocktails, beer, sodas, and snacks included. You get free time to walk the island's center and relax on Playa Norte, then sail back under the stars with your drink in hand. The whole thing runs from pickup to return, so you don't arrange transport or timing yourself.Is it for me?Book this if you want a sunset on the water without arranging your own boat, drinks, or timing—the pickup and return from your hotel means you just show up and the rest unfolds. The afternoon departure gives you the full golden-hour experience instead of catching the tail end.

Enjoy two hours exploring North Beach or town before dancing your way back across turquoise water—probably still smiling.

Drinks flow all day, and the boat returns you by 5pm.Is it for me?Book this if you want a full day on the water without arranging transport, snorkeling spots, or meals yourself—the fixed 10am to 5pm schedule and all-inclusive format mean you show up and the crew handles everything else.
Isla Mujeres: Catamaran, Snorkeling & Open Bar from CancunYou board a two-level catamaran in Playa del Carmen, snorkel the underwater statues and reef with provided equipment, sail to Isla Mujeres for a beach club lunch with open bar, get free time to explore Playa Norte, and return at sunset with onboard contests and drinks.
