Imagine a day carved out solely for relaxation, fun, and soaking up the best of Cancun’s Caribbean charm — without the crowds or family noise. That’s exactly what the Deluxe Only Adults Catamaran Tour promises. Starting at noon from Cancun’s Marina Albatros, this 7-hour voyage whisks you away on a luxurious sail to the tiny island of Isla Mujeres, with plenty of stops for swimming, snorkeling, and unwinding in style.
We love that this tour offers an exclusive, adult-focused atmosphere — no kids splashing around or noisy family groups. The deluxe catamaran, with its spacious decks and smooth sailing, sets the tone for a relaxed day. Plus, the all-day open bar means you can sip on your choice of drinks while the live DJ keeps the energy lively. Two things stand out: the well-curated buffet lunch paired with good quality red or white wine and the chance to snorkel in vibrant reef waters, which makes for genuine, memorable moments.
One consideration to keep in mind is the dock fee of $20 USD per person, which isn’t included in the price and adds a little extra to your budget. Also, since hotel transfers aren’t included, you’ll need to plan your transportation to and from the marina. This tour is ideal for adults seeking a sophisticated, fun-filled day in the Caribbean, especially if you enjoy social, lively atmospheres with good drinks, music, and sun.

The Journey to Isla Mujeres
Once aboard, you’ll set sail toward the famous Isla Mujeres, a small island known for its vibrant marine life and laid-back vibe. The catamaran’s open deck makes for excellent photos of Cancun’s skyline and the turquoise waters surrounding the island. As you cruise, you can help yourself to the national open bar, which offers a range of drinks, making the sail as relaxing or lively as you like.
Snorkeling and Swimming
After about an hour of sailing, the first stop is the reef, where you can snorkel among colorful coral and tropical fish. The marine life is often described as lively and diverse, with many travelers noting the clarity of the water and the abundance of fish. We appreciated the fact that the tour provides gear, making it easy to jump in and enjoy the underwater world.
Following the reef, the group heads to a white sand beach for a refreshing swim. The water here is described as turquoise and inviting, perfect for cooling off after snorkeling. The white sands are unspoiled, and some reviews mention how peaceful and uncrowded the area feels — a real retreat away from Cancun’s busier beaches.
The Beach Club Experience
Later, the fun continues at the Amazona Beach Club. This is no ordinary beach stop — it’s an exclusive spot with Balinese beds for lounging, shaded areas, and a curated menu of drinks and food. The premium buffet lunch is a highlight, offering a selection of dishes that satisfy without overdoing it, alongside red or white wine to enhance your dining experience.
The live DJ creates a vivacious yet relaxing atmosphere, with some travelers noting how the music tracks the mood perfectly — lively enough for fun, yet suitable for relaxing with a view. The beach club’s ambiance allows you to unwind in comfort, watch the waves, and enjoy the natural beauty of Isla Mujeres.
Sunset Sail and Return
As the day winds down, the boat makes its way back to Cancun with a sunset sail, giving you the perfect opportunity to reflect on a memorable day. Watching the sun dip into the sea from the deck, you’ll appreciate the tranquil beauty of the Caribbean — a fitting end to a well-rounded tour.
