A Luxurious Day on the Water: The All-Inclusive Tulum Yacht Experience

Imagine gliding over the calm, crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean aboard your own private 58-foot Azimut yacht. This tour from Puerto Aventuras offers a four-hour journey—perfect for those wanting a slice of luxury without the hefty price tag. For $2,700 per group, up to eight guests can enjoy a seamless blend of comfort, adventure, and indulgence. Whether you start in the morning or afternoon, this experience is designed to suit those looking for a relaxed yet exclusive day out, with plenty of opportunities to snorkel, sip premium drinks, and enjoy chef-prepared meals.
What we really love about this tour is its personalized touch—the ability to pre-select gourmet dishes and the inclusive nature of food and drinks, making it feel like a floating private dinner party. Also, the professional crew ensures safety and top service, which means you can truly relax and soak in the views.
However, one thing to consider is the additional costs—a $20 dock fee per person and a 10% service charge (about $270 for a group) are extra. This is fairly standard for high-end boat experiences, but it’s worth factoring into your overall budget.
This tour suits travelers who value authentic, intimate experiences and are ready to indulge in a day of luxury at sea. It’s ideal for families, friends, or couples celebrating special occasions, especially since many reviews highlight how memorable and personalized the trip feels.

When you first arrive at the Yacht Experiences Dock in Puerto Aventuras, you’re greeted by a professional crew eager to ensure your day is perfect. This is not a crowded tourist trap but a carefully curated experience that prioritizes comfort and exclusivity. At $2,700 for up to 8 people, the price might seem high at first glance, but when you consider the all-inclusive offerings—gourmet food, unlimited drinks, snorkeling gear, and the privacy of your own boat—the value becomes clear.
The Itinerary and What to Expect
Your four-hour journey starts with either a morning or afternoon departure, depending on your choice. The primary activity is cruising in the warm Caribbean waters, but the true highlight is the chance to hop into the sea for snorkeling. The boat comes equipped with snorkeling gear, so you can explore the underwater world just off the coast. Many reviews rave about the stunning views and excellent crew, with one guest noting, “Captain Juan was a true professional, confident and knowledgeable, making us feel safe at all times.”
Throughout the trip, you’ll enjoy your pre-selected gourmet meal served onboard. The menu is described as à la carte and prepared by a chef, adding a level of sophistication that elevates the experience beyond simple boat trips. Guests have commented that the food was “delicious,” and the drinks flow freely from the “Premium Open Bar”—a feature that keeps the atmosphere lively and relaxed.
The Crew and Service
Reviews consistently highlight the exceptional service provided by the crew, especially staff like Maria, Captain Rigo, Chef Victor, and others. Guests mention how attentive and friendly they are, with one reviewer saying, “Maria made sure we were taken care of, patient and understanding. She helped make our night special.” The crew’s professionalism is evident, and many reviews praise their ability to balance fun with safety, creating a trustworthy environment to relax.
Snorkeling and Marine Exploration
The onboard snorkeling gear invites you to discover the vibrant marine life just steps from the boat. While the itinerary doesn’t specify exact snorkeling sites, reviews mention that the water is “so amazing” and the experience “great,” suggesting the locations are scenic and rich with marine creatures. The clear waters make for excellent photos and memorable underwater moments, especially for families or casual snorkelers.
