If you’re looking for a lively, all-adult day on the water that combines fun, relaxation, and a touch of party spirit, this catamaran adventure in Cancun might just be your perfect match. Offering a 7-hour experience that blends snorkeling, open bars, and a beach club bash, it’s a great way to enjoy the Caribbean without the kids or overly touristic crowds. We haven’t personally been on this boat, but from what travelers report and the detailed itinerary, it’s evident that this trip is designed for those who want a lively, social day with plenty of drinks, sun, and scenery.
What we particularly like is the emphasis on authentic adult fun — no kids, no crowds, just a party on the water. The included buffet lunch is a thoughtful touch, removing the hassle of packing snacks or finding a meal later in the day. Plus, the focus on snorkeling offers a chance to see some of Cancun’s vibrant marine life. That said, one consideration is that the tour is quite centered on socializing and partying, so if you’re seeking a more tranquil or cultural experience, this might not be your best fit. It’s best suited for travelers who want to unwind, mingle, and make the most of Cancun’s lively party scene.
If you’re someone who enjoys mixing water activities with social drinking and dancing, and doesn’t mind a party atmosphere, this tour could be a highlight of your trip. It’s also perfect for groups of friends or couples looking for a memorable day out on the Caribbean Sea.

Meeting Point and Timing
Your adventure begins at Marina Albatros around 12:30 pm, a convenient location in Cancun’s Zona Hotelera. The tour is timed to maximize daylight hours, ending back at the meeting point, allowing for a relaxed evening afterward. Since the tour has a maximum of 60 travelers, you can expect a lively but manageable group size, fostering a more personal atmosphere than some larger cruise options.
The Catamaran Journey
Boarding the catamaran feels like stepping into a floating party. With an open bar on board, guests are encouraged to relax, socialize, and enjoy the scenic cruise toward Isla Mujeres. The views from the water are undoubtedly stunning — the turquoise waters, the distant skyline of Cancun, and the gentle sway of the boat create a picture-perfect setting.
Snorkeling at Isla Mujeres
One of the main highlights is the chance to swim and snorkel in the clear waters near Isla Mujeres. The tour provides all the snorkel equipment, making it accessible even for beginners. The experience of floating above colorful corals and fish is a highlight travelers consistently mention. A quote from a review captures this well: “We loved the way the water felt so calm, and the fish we saw snorkelling was breathtaking.” It’s a brief but memorable dip into the underwater world of the Caribbean.
Beach Club Stop
After snorkeling, you’ll head to a beach club, where a DJ spins tunes, and you can relax on the sand or enjoy the second open bar. The club features a private area, exclusive to this tour, helping create a sort of private party atmosphere. The buffet lunch is served here, giving you time to refuel before the return journey.

What Travelers Say

While reviews are limited, the feedback highlights the stunning scenery and the lively atmosphere as the main draws. One traveler appreciated the “stunning views” and the fact that the activity was “not overly crowded”, which makes for a more relaxed social scene. The inclusion of snorkeling and buffet is seen as a practical benefit, removing the need to find food or add extra activities.
Some noted the importance of wearing biodegradable sunscreen and sunglasses to protect the environment and enjoy the day comfortably. The tour’s adult-only policy seems to be a hit among groups seeking a more mature, party-oriented experience.

The 7-hour schedule ensures you have plenty of time to enjoy each part of the day — from cruising to snorkeling, beach lounging, and partying. With a cap of 60 travelers, the group size strikes a good balance between social activity and personal space.
Cost and Inclusions
At $99 per person, plus the $20 government fee and optional transport, the price reflects a comprehensive day out.
