Sailing away-Island Adventour Yacht – Isla Mujeres Beach Club

If you’re looking for a day filled with sun, sea, and a bit of adventure in Cancun, the Sailing away-Island Adventour Yacht experience might catch your eye. It promises a mix of sailing, snorkeling, island exploration, and relaxing at a private beach club, all wrapped in about seven hours of laid-back fun.

What we really like about this tour is how it combines different experiences — from snorkeling at a protected reef to wandering through Isla Mujeres’ charming streets, and then unwinding in style at the exclusive beach club. Plus, the all-inclusive aspect with drinks and buffet makes it easy to just relax and enjoy.

On the flip side, one thing to consider is that this tour might not be ideal if you’re tech-savvy or into photography—cellphones, cameras, and drones aren’t allowed onboard, which could be a bummer if capturing memories is a priority for you. It’s also a shared experience, so if you’re the type who prefers private tours, this might not be your first choice.

The Experience Breakdown: What to Expect

Starting the Day: Departure from Cancun

The tour begins at 9:00 am, so aim to check in about 30 minutes early. You’ll meet at the designated point, ready for a day on the water. While the boat is shared, it’s a smaller group, with a maximum of 40 travelers, which helps keep the vibe casual but lively. The journey kicks off with the excitement of sailing across the Caribbean Sea aboard a luxurious shared yacht.

The Sailing & Snorkeling Adventure

Once underway, the crew ensures everyone is comfortable, offering snorkeling tubes and equipment to explore the waters. The highlight here is the El Meco’s protected coral reef, where vibrant fish and marine life await. We loved the way the guide emphasized the reef’s beauty and importance, making snorkeling both an enjoyable and educational part of the trip.

For those hesitant about snorkeling, don’t worry—most people find it straightforward, and the gear is new, which adds to the comfort. The snorkeling is the main underwater activity, but the tour also includes a swimming stop at Playa Norte, which is not for snorkeling but perfect for a quick dip or relaxing on the sand.

Island Time in Isla Mujeres

After about three hours, the boat docks at Isla Mujeres for free time. You can choose to stroll down the charming streets, check out local shops, or head straight to North Beach for a bit of sunbathing. The island has a laid-back vibe, and you’ll definitely enjoy soaking up the atmosphere. Some reviews mention that the free time is just enough to get a feel for the local culture without feeling rushed.

The Beach Club & Lunch

As the sun begins to set, the group heads to an exclusive beach club. This part of the experience is a highlight for many: relaxing in the pool, enjoying the open bar, and savoring a buffet lunch that features traditional Isla Mujeres dishes. The meal offers a nice taste of local flavors, and the open bar keeps the drinks flowing as everyone unwinds.

This segment is perfect for those who want to fully relax after the water activities. The club is well-equipped, and the setting enhances the feeling of being pampered, even if only for a few hours.

Return to Cancun

The day winds down with a return trip by catamaran, where you can dance, chat, and celebrate your day. This is a great way to unwind and reflect on the fun moments with fellow travelers, making it more than just a tour—it’s a memory-making experience.

What Makes This Tour Stand Out?

Value for Money: At $70 per person, the price includes snorkeling gear, open bar, buffet, and transportation. For a full day of varied activities, this cost is reasonable, especially considering the included amenities and the convenience of a guided experience.

Diverse Activities: From snorkeling at a vibrant reef to free time on a charming island and relaxing at a private beach club, you get a well-rounded taste of Cancun and Isla Mujeres without the hassle of planning each element separately.

Social Atmosphere: With a maximum of 40 travelers, it’s a group experience but small enough to feel personal. Many reviews mention the fun vibe onboard, with opportunities to dance and mingle.

The Downsides & Considerations

While the experience offers a lot of positives, there are some points worth noting. Cellphones, cameras, and drones aren’t allowed onboard, which might feel restrictive if you like snapping photos or recording videos of your trip. You might find your options for capturing memories limited to during free time or onshore.

Weather can impact the experience, especially for snorkeling and sailing. If conditions aren’t ideal, some parts of the day could be less enjoyable, though the crew typically adjusts accordingly.

The tour is not suitable for pregnant women, people over 60, or those with recent surgeries due to safety reasons during snorkeling. Also, towels and lounge chairs aren’t included, so you’ll need to bring your own if you want to lounge at the beach club.

Who Should Consider This Tour?

If you’re someone who enjoys a mix of activities but prefers to keep things relaxed and social, this tour is a great fit. It’s perfect for travelers looking to see Isla Mujeres without spending a fortune or dedicating multiple days. It’s also very family-friendly, as long as children meet the age and swimming requirements.

However, if you’re keen on photography or want a private, intimate experience, this might not satisfy that need. Also, if you prefer to avoid group tours or have specific health considerations, check the restrictions carefully.

Final Thoughts

The Sailing away-Island Adventour Yacht tour in Cancun offers a well-rounded, enjoyable way to experience the Caribbean’s beauty without over-complicating the day. You get to snorkel vibrant reefs, explore a picturesque island, and indulge at a plush beach club—all in one package.

It’s a solid choice if you’re after a fun, social outing that balances adventure with leisure. The inclusions, relaxed pace, and beautiful scenery make it a good value, especially for those wanting a hassle-free day with plenty of options to unwind and soak up the island vibe.

Just keep in mind the restrictions like no cameras onboard and the weather dependency, and you’ll be set for a memorable day in paradise.
