The route and scenery
Most tours take you around the Nichupte Lagoon, its canals, and nearby spots like Isla Mujeres or the hotel zone beaches. From what we gather, the views are stunning: shimmering waters, boats gliding by, and the chance to see Cancun from a perspective few get to experience. This is especially appealing if you’re after gorgeous photo ops or just a peaceful day out on the water.
While the experience includes sightseeing, it’s also flexible. You can enjoy snorkeling, paddleboarding, or simply soaking up the sun with a drink in hand. The sound system onboard lets you set the mood—whether you want mellow tunes or something lively to match your celebration vibe.
Food and drinks
One of the highlights is the luxury Mediterranean menu. You get a choice of light snacks like tropical ceviche or vegetarian salad, and heartier options such as chicken tacos with sides. It’s a well-thought-out menu for a boat trip, balancing light bites with flavorful options. The drinks selection includes beers, tequila, whiskey, wine, and soft drinks, all included, so you can toast your day without worrying about extra costs.
Travelers mention the wine and drinks as a particular highlight, especially fans of good selections with their meals. Some reviews praise the quality of beverages, which really helps elevate the floating celebration.
The crew and service
The boat is run by a team of experienced staff, including a captain, sailors, and waiters. They handle the logistics and help you feel comfortable, making sure your drinks are topped up and your needs met. The reviews tend to mention attentive service, although the overall rating of 2.7 suggests mixed experiences—some travelers might have had less than perfect interactions or minor issues, so managing expectations is wise.
