Isla Mujeres Snorkeling Catamaran Tour with Lunch & Bar

Sail, snorkel, and anchor at a private beach club on the same day

A full-day sailing catamaran trip from Cancun to Isla Mujeres includes snorkeling in Caribbean waters, a guided tour of the island, and lunch with an open bar at a private beach club. You spend roughly 10 to 12 hours on the water and ashore, with time to explore the island on your own after the guided portion ends.

• Meet at the meeting point
• Enjoy private beach club with lunch and drinks
• Explore Isla Mujeres at leisure

The experience

You meet at a designated pickup point and board a luxury sailing catamaran that carries you across turquoise water toward Isla Mujeres. The boat runs on wind power, and the crossing itself is part of the day: no engine noise, just the Caribbean beneath you. Once you arrive, a guide leads you through the most outstanding spots on the island before releasing you for free time to wander, shop, or walk the sandy shores at your own pace.

Snorkeling happens in the warm waters between Cancun and Isla Mujeres, with all equipment provided and a life vest included. The catamaran stops at a private beach club where lunch is served (gourmet fare, not a sandwich) along with an open bar stocked with beer, vodka, rum, and tequila. Soft drinks, ceviche, guacamole, chips, pasta and corn cake round out what's included. An air-conditioned vehicle handles the ground transport, and the boat itself has enough space and shade that you're not crammed in with fifty strangers.

Guides speak English, Spanish, Italian, French and one additional language, so communication is straightforward. Pickup is included in the price, which means no separate taxi negotiation before the day starts. Infants sit on an adult's lap, and the itinerary suits all fitness levels. You're not hiking or climbing, just sailing and swimming.

Top questions

What is snorkeling like in the waters around Isla Mujeres?

The Caribbean waters here are warm and clear enough to see fish and coral without difficulty. The snorkeling happens during the boat's passage to the island and at designated stops, with all equipment provided and fitted to your size.

How much free time do you get on Isla Mujeres itself?

After the guided tour of the island's highlights, you have unstructured time to explore on your own: long enough to walk the beaches, browse shops, or sit at a cafe without feeling rushed.

What does the open bar include?

Beer, vodka, rum, and tequila are available throughout the day, along with soft drinks. The lunch itself (ceviche, guacamole, chips, pasta and corn cake) is also included, not a separate purchase.

Do I need to bring my own snorkeling gear?

No. Snorkeling equipment and a life vest are provided as part of the booking. Bring a towel and sunscreen. The catamaran has shade, but the Caribbean sun is direct.

How does pickup work if I'm staying in Cancun?

Pickup is included and handled by an air-conditioned vehicle. You'll be collected from your hotel or a central meeting point and returned the same way after the full day ends.
