Setting Out from V&V Marina in Punta Sam
The journey begins at the V&V marina, a charming point from which many Cancun boat trips depart. The vessel, a sleek 51-foot Leopard catamaran, promises a smooth and comfortable ride across the calm Caribbean waters. From the start, what stands out is the attention to detail—the boat is equipped with plush towels, water toys, and high-quality snorkeling masks, all ready for your enjoyment.
The Itinerary: A Mix of Relaxation and Adventure
The tour covers approximately four hours—an ideal length for a taste of the Caribbean without feeling rushed. It’s a private experience, so your group can tailor the experience to your preferences.
First Stop: Snorkeling at Cancun or Isla Mujeres
The crew aims to make this a highlight. You’ll have the chance to snorkel in clear waters with provided equipment, potentially seeing vibrant marine life. One reviewer noted, “The snorkeling was one of the best parts—easy gear, calm water, and beautiful fish.” If you’re new to snorkeling, the crew’s experience makes this a stress-free activity.
Second Stop: North Beach
This beach ranks among the top 10 most beautiful beaches worldwide, according to TripAdvisor. You’ll love the soft white sands and gentle surf, perfect for sunbathing or wading into the shallow waters. The crew often recommends relaxing here, soaking up the scenery and enjoying the quiet beauty away from busier tourist spots.
Third Stop: Punta Sur
Known for its dramatic cliffs and panoramic views, Punta Sur offers inflatables and paddleboards. This part of the tour is great for those who want a little more active fun. The inflatables are easy to set up and inflate, making it simple for guests to bounce around or float in the sea. One guest mentioned, “The paddleboarding was surprisingly easy, and I loved how calm the water was.”
Returning to V&V Marina
After a satisfying mix of swimming, relaxing, and floating, you’ll head back to Cancun. The crew ensures a safe, smooth ride, and you’ll be able to enjoy the sunset view as you return, with a drink in hand.

The crew includes a chef preparing delicious onboard dishes, such as fresh empanadas, chicken and veggie ciappatas, and a variety of desserts. The gourmet snacks and fresh fruit keep everyone refreshed, while the national open bar offers vodka, tequila, rum, whisky, beer, sodas, and juices—all included in the price.

Cost and Value
While the $1,325 per person price tag might seem high, it includes private transportation, all water toys, food, drinks, and the service of a professional crew. Smaller group tours or shared experiences might be less expensive, but they often lack the personalized attention and privacy of this yacht experience.
Additional costs, like a $15 dock fee per person and a 10% service charge ($265 per booking), should be anticipated. These are standard for luxury tours but add to the overall cost. It’s worth considering whether this level of exclusivity and comfort aligns with your travel priorities.
Practical Tips for Booking and Participating

- Meeting Point: The activity starts at V&V Marina, easily accessible from Cancun.
- Duration: Four hours is enough to enjoy all stops without feeling hurried.
- What to Bring: Swimsuits, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat are essential. Everything else, like towels and water gear, is provided.
- Group Size: As this is a private tour, it’s just your group—ideal for families, couples, or small groups.
