“Last minute changed the pickup location and would not budge. Could not make it to the new location at proper time. Refused to give refund. Very unprofessional, they should not have confirmed the reservation if pick up location was unavailable”
Review of Riviera Maya’s two-hour luxury sunset sail with hotel pickup, open bar, light dinner, Caribbean views, and practical booking advice.
“We've experienced several catamaran sunset cruises. This was "ok" at best. Nothing special. The boat, a nice catamaran, was small and cramped for 30 people. It's suited for 15-20. The cabin area below was cramped. Food was limited. The charcuterie board that the crew served was so-so. The meats and cheese had little flavor. The bread was stale. The only crackers served were Ritz. The best aspect of this cruise is that the crew served drinks regularly. They told us nothing about the area - only safety precautions and crew introductions at the beginning, and a "thank you" and long-winded pitch for tips at the end. When booking for boat…”

Review of a four-hour Tulum catamaran trip with snorkeling, paddleboards, lunch, open bar, transport, and practical booking advice.
“I was originally not going to leave 5 stars because we were about an hour late in getting picked up, our driver had to return to pick up more passengers that he’d mistakenly left, and I was concerned that we weren’t going to get our full experience. However, the staff of the catamaran, including Mateo, made up for it in full and they owe us nothing! We were still on the water for about four hours, nothing subtracted. The drinks were made to order and free-flowing, the music was great, the weather was perfect for sailing, and they took us to a beautiful spot with crystal clear waters where we…”
Review of a private 47-foot yacht from Playa del Carmen with snorkeling, beach time, open bar, lunch, and flexible routes.
“Francisco, Valérie and Felix were wonderful guides. I went with my 3 sister and 4 nieces, ages 32 to 69. We were treated like royalty. Felix showed the best spot to see the fish and we spotted a turtle and stingray. For me it was a trip of a lifetime.”
Sail from Playa del Carmen to Cozumel for guided snorkeling, paddleboards, lunch, and an open bar, with hotel pickup included.
“We recently participated in this tour and unfortunately had several disappointing experiences that I believe future travelers should be aware of: 1. Pickup Logistics: Be aware that the transportation for excursions is not as expected. In our case, the driver arrived about five minutes early and left after 8 minutes. We arrived 4 minutes after our scheduled pick up time and saw the van leave and immediately called the company to ask them to stop the driver since they were still on the resort property, but they refused. We had to arrange and pay for our own taxi to the ferry at an additional cost of $50. In our opinion,…”
Private 40-foot catamaran from Puerto Aventuras to Paamul, with snorkeling, beach time, lunch, ceviche, fishing, and an open bar.
“This is an incredible excursion. I honestly cannot speak highly enough of Vicki and her crew for taking care of our every need and making sure we had the best experience! We took this trip as part of my best friend's bachelorette trip with 6 women all together, and we felt safe and secure. Water's were choppy that day, as Vicki made sure we were aware of, and our bride got seasick. The crew made sure she was comfortable and gave us options to move to calmer water, which we did and had a blast! The drinks were delicious, especially the Palomas Vicki makes :) and the ceviche was so…”

Review of a private four-hour yacht from Puerto Aventuras to In-Ha Reef, with snorkeling, ceviche, an open bar, fishing, and crew tips.
“Great experience! The staff was extremely accommodating and helpful! They had great attitudes and made the experience extremely enjoyable. We had a eight of us to celebrate a birthday and it was probably the best part of our trip. This is 1000 worth it and I highly recommend doing this when you're traveling there.”
Spend five hours on a private Azimut yacht from Puerto Aventuras, with turtle snorkeling, ceviche, an open bar, and Caribbean views.
“So especially if you have a big group with you (we had 8) this is well worth the price. The boat is very clean and comfortable and it is yours alone. The crew makes fresh food like ceviche and burgers and they are very good. The crew is friendly and accommodating and mostly will keep to themselves after you are all set to stay out of your way. You will go to some amazing snorkeling ground and someone from the crew will swim out with you and show you the sights. One thing I noticed as there isn't any teaching for the first timers so I had to do that…”
Review of a private 44-foot catamaran from Puerto Aventuras to In-Ha reef, with snorkeling, open bar, lunch, fishing, and a 15-person price.
“Overall it was a good experience. There were just a few things that needed improving. There were ants in the kitchen area. I think it is time for extermination. The boat needs a little updating, but still comfortable. The food was good and plenty of it. The staff was nice and made sure we were taken care of. Also, it is important to say that prior to the trip, I communicated with the staff often and they responded promptly and was able to accommodate my requests.”
Spend five private hours sailing from Puerto Aventuras to In-Ha and La Bocana with snorkeling, fishing, ceviche, lunch, and an open bar.
“Booking this boat trip was the best decision I think I have ever made in my entire adult life. So fun. The food was DELISH and the vibes were so good. I could not have had a better time, and I wish I booked it every day of my trip. It is a must! Dranks were flowing too they didn’t run out and we be drankkkkin”
