Discover the Charm of Cancun’s All-Inclusive Private Catamaran
Imagine spending a full day sailing across the turquoise waters of Quintana Roo, with your loved ones, aboard a personalized, all-inclusive catamaran. For $1,242 per group (up to 14 guests), this 7-hour journey offers a mix of relaxing sunbathing, lively snorkeling, and fun-filled swims in some of the region’s clearest waters. Led by knowledgeable guides, this trip highlights Isla Mujeres and its vibrant reefs, making it a fantastic choice for those craving both adventure and comfort.
What we really love about this experience is the attention to detail — from the sleek design of the catamaran, equipped with sun shades and trampolines, to the customizable music via Bluetooth that sets the perfect vibe. Plus, the private group format ensures you won’t be crowded, feeling more like a luxury day out with friends than a busy tour. On the flip side, one consideration is the cost, which, while justified by exclusivity and amenities, might be a stretch for budget travelers. This experience suits those who want a relaxed yet fun day, enjoy snorkeling, and appreciate a touch of luxury with their Caribbean adventure.

An In-Depth Look at the Cancun Private Catamaran Tour
When planning a day on the water, what really matters is the balance between adventure, comfort, and value. This tour from Joluga, rated a perfect 5, offers just that. It’s designed for those wanting to enjoy luxury, natural beauty, and a lively atmosphere without the hassle of organizing multiple activities or transfers.
The Itinerary Breakdown
Meeting Point & Start:
You’ll gather at the Beach Tortugas Maritime Terminal, a familiar spot close to Cancun’s hotel zone. From there, a member of Joluga’s friendly team will guide you onto your private vessel, ensuring a smooth start. The first leg involves a scenic 60-minute sail across the Caribbean, giving you time to soak in the views and get settled.
Snorkeling at Blessings Reef:
The highlight for many is the snorkeling session around Blessings Reef, a spectacular site filled with marine life and underwater statues. Expect approximately 40 minutes of underwater exploring — enough time to see colorful fish and coral without feeling rushed. Reviewers have said, “We loved the way the reef was full of marine life, and the underwater statues added a unique twist.” This stop truly lets you enjoy the vibrant underwater world with minimal crowds, thanks to the private nature of the tour.
Playa Norte Stop:
After snorkeling, the boat heads to Playa Norte, often called the best beach on Isla Mujeres. Here, you can jump from the boat into the shallow, warm waters, or just relax on the sand. It’s an ideal pause to unwind, take photos, or snorkel a little more. The shallow, turquoise waters are perfect for families or anyone wishing to cool off.
Return & Relaxation:
The return trip is leisurely, with the open bar available throughout. You can sip soft drinks, beer, or spirits like rum and tequila, all while enjoying the breeze and your favorite tunes. Many find this part the most relaxing, especially with the Bluetooth connection to play your own playlist.
What Makes This Tour Stand Out
One of the biggest appeals is the versatility of the catamaran itself. Half of the platform offers a shaded area for lounging, while the trampoline invites sunbathers to stretch out under the bright Mexican sun. The boat’s design encourages socializing or soaking up some quiet time, depending on your mood.
Another plus is the flexibility in scheduling — choose between the morning or afternoon departure to suit your plans. The tour’s private group format means you’ll avoid noisy crowds and enjoy a more personalized experience.
