You'll be greeted with a welcome drink and have this whole tour for your private group and it's customizable to you! See the Riviera Maya coast from the Caribbean Sea! This tour will go to one of the most spectacular beaches you’ve ever seen called Playa Palancar. This is a secluded and incredibly pristine beach and the clear aquamarine waters make it an ideal place to snorkel.

This tour also allows snorkeling at another nearby reef where you can get up close and personal with sea turtles and tropical fish and coral reefs. You'll also get to enjoy a Caribbean sunset over the jungle region of the Riviera Maya; just another beautiful part of this biodiverse region.

Riviera Maya

You're free to participate and help reel in your catch which can also be prepared fresh onboard. We'll anchor in front of one of the most spectacular beaches you’ve ever laid eyes on called Playa Palancar. This is a secluded and incredibly pristine beach and the clear aquamarine sea makes it an ideal place to snorkel the reef. Enjoy your lunch onboard our yacht or we can serve you on the beach under the shade of a “palapa” with your feet in the sand! No matter what you decide, your view is sure to be amazing. Breathe in paradise while enjoying freshly made guacamole, shrimp and fish ceviche, grilled cheeseburgers, and of course, a cold beer, margarita or refreshment of your choice. After lunch, we'll snorkel at another nearby reef where you can get up close and personal with all sorts of fish and sea life. Then we'll slowly head back where you'll get to enjoy the sunset over the jungle region of the Riviera Maya; just another beautiful part of this biodiverse region.

We had a group of 16, including young children, and Aldo and his team did an amazing job keeping us safe while we had fun. Even the kids were able to do the open water snorkeling and we saw fish, rays, and coral. The food was incredible: ceviche from fish caught off the back! The boat was clean, safe, and we enjoyed the net up front. We even had a wonderful masseuse :) I would recommend some motion sickness meds for those prone, as the trip out to Cozumel was a little bumpy. But the water is unreal shades of blue - totally worth it!

Amazing Day all of it, shout out to Aldo, David, and Axl. And especially Captain Luis for getting us back safe. Greta crew and Margarita for a great massage.

This 8 hour experience was such a delight! Ramon and the whole crew were kind and funny, and took great care of our 10 person family/friends group. The fresh guac & ceviche lunch was delicious and our guide for snorkeling made sure we saw barracudas, stingrays, beautiful fish, and even sharks! The water is clear and clean- perfect for snorkeling and swimming. Our stop at a more shallow cove even included drink delivery from a paddleboard! :) We didn’t utilize the bedrooms but it was nice that they were available. Bring plenty of sunscreen, and a light jacket for the evening trip back to dock. Our group had so much fun and we would definitely book again.

We rented the catamaran for a 15th anniversary party, and were very well taken care of by Celeste, Eddie, Omar, you Felipe. The transportation to the dock was on time and pretty well organized. We had quite a few who ended up getting sick on the boat, and the crew made pretty wise decisions to adjust when we headed to the still water. The water was really choppy and rain in the forecast, so it was nice to have a crew that took us to the sun. We had plenty of time to enjoy the water, listen to music, and hang out. They were accommodating to a variety of food restrictions and allergies for the lunch, which was very good. The shrimp ceviche was amazing. The guacamole was delicious, and the burgers were also very satisfying. If you are contemplating booking, go ahead and bite the bullet. It's well worth it.

Awesome time with Celeste, Omar, Filipe & Eddy! They took care of everyone so great. It was super choppy waters but they kept us safe and helped those who were seasick. It was great time!
