A Deep Dive into the Experience
This 4-hour private catamaran tour from Cancun offers an intimate look into the Caribbean’s natural beauty, with the convenience of modern amenities. The starting point is the V&V marina in Punta Sam, a picturesque marina that hints at the luxurious adventure ahead. From here, you’ll set off towards Isla Mujeres, an island famed for its vibrant culture and stunning beaches.
The itinerary is designed to maximize both relaxation and activity, with the first major highlight being a snorkeling stop. The boat is equipped with high-quality snorkel masks, making underwater exploration accessible and enjoyable even for beginners. Expect to see colorful marine life and perhaps even some curious fish darting by. Travelers often mention that the crew is attentive, ensuring everyone is comfortable and safe in the water.
Next, the tour takes you to North Beach, recognized by TripAdvisor as one of the top 10 beaches worldwide. Here, you can kick back on soft white sands and soak up the sun. The water is said to be crystal-clear, making it a perfect spot for taking photos or just enjoying the view. The inclusion of inflatables and paddleboards adds an element of fun—these are great for both lounging and light-hearted water games.
The Punta Sur stop is a favorite among travelers, offering a scenic spot to enjoy inflatables and paddleboards while taking in the panoramic ocean views. It’s a laid-back setting, perfect for unwinding and capturing Insta-worthy moments. After an active and scenic morning, the boat heads back to V&V marina, leaving you with plenty of memories and perhaps a few new tan lines.

The crew’s team is quite experienced, featuring a captain, sailor, host/hostess, and a chef. The gourmet onboard menu and open bar are part of what makes this experience stand out. You’ll enjoy delicious snacks such as fresh fruit, hummus, esquites (Mexican-style corn), spicy potatoes, nachos, and empanadas. For the main bites—chicken and veggie ciabattas—you’re set for a satisfying meal amid gorgeous surroundings.
The national open bar includes vodka, tequila, whisky, rum, beer, sodas, water, and juices. The drinks are served at your convenience, so whether you prefer a refreshing cocktail or a cold beer, you’re covered.

The Price and What It Includes

At $1,325 per person, this tour is definitely on the higher end of Cancun’s boat excursions. But for that price, you’re getting a private, all-inclusive experience with gourmet food, an open bar, water toys, and multiple scenic stops. You’re also paying for the expertise of a seasoned crew committed to your safety and enjoyment.
It’s worth noting that there are additional costs, such as a $15 dock fee per person and a 10% service charge ($265 per booking), which can bump up the overall expense. Private transportation isn’t included, so you might want to consider arranging your own transfer or arriving at the marina on your own.
While the cost might seem steep, many travelers feel that the quality, privacy, and personalized service justify the price. If you’re celebrating a special event or just want a luxurious day out, this could be well worth the investment.
