Planning a special celebration in Cancun? If you’re considering a private boat experience, this private catamaran might just catch your eye. Designed for groups between 25 and 60 people, it offers a custom, party-friendly environment perfect for weddings, bachelor or bachelorette parties, or even a memorable bridal shower.

What We Loved About This Experience

The flexibility of planning your own private event is a major plus. Whether you’re celebrating a wedding or just want a big, fun day with friends, the ability to customize your stops and schedule makes this experience stand out. Plus, the snorkeling gear and open bar ensure everyone can relax and enjoy, regardless of their experience level or drinking preferences.
Another thing that stood out was the cleanliness and friendliness of the crew, based on reviews. Travelers from Spain and other countries have appreciated the professional attitude, which can significantly enhance the overall vibe.
The scenery and views are, of course, a highlight. Being out on the water, with stunning Caribbean backdrops and the opportunity to snorkel in clear waters, adds a special touch to any celebration.
The Downsides and Considerations
No experience is perfect, and this one has a few caveats. Some guests have reported issues like late pickups, or feeling they were charged for more people or decorations than they actually had. It’s important to clarify what’s included in your booking and to communicate any concerns beforehand.
Plus, land and landing facility fees are not included, so you should budget for those extras. Hotel pickup isn’t part of the package either, so you’ll need to arrange your own transportation to the meeting point.
Pricing at $58 per person is reasonable for what’s included, especially considering the private nature and the amenities. Still, it’s worth assessing whether you value the flexibility and party atmosphere over a more structured or all-inclusive option.
Who Should Consider This Tour?

If you’re looking to celebrate a wedding, bachelor, or bachelorette party with a group of friends or family and want a private, customizable experience on the water, this could be a good fit. It’s especially suitable if your group enjoys lively environments with music, drinks, and snorkeling.
This tour might also appeal to those who want to keep things simple but still want a memorable day at sea, without the fuss of large cruise lines or rigid schedules. However, if you prefer a more structured, all-inclusive experience or are concerned about service consistency, you might want to explore other options.
