Location: Quintana Roo, Mexico
Country: Mexico
Price: $1,690 per group up to 15
Supplier Name: Magic-Sea Luxury Yachts
If you’re dreaming of a day on the water in Cancun’s area, this private yacht experience might be just what you’re looking for. With a floating escape aboard a 55-foot Sea Ray, you can enjoy a relaxed, customizable four-hour tour from Playa Mujeres Marina to Isla Mujeres. It’s perfect for groups wanting privacy, comfort, and some time to soak up the sun, snorkel, or simply unwind on deck.
Two things we particularly like are the flexibility of the itinerary—you can choose to snorkel, swim, or lounge—and the all-inclusive drinks and snacks, which make for a hassle-free, fun-filled day. However, one thing to keep in mind is that this is a private tour, so it might not be the best fit if you’re looking for a more social or larger group experience. This tour appeals most to travelers who value intimacy, comfort, and the chance to tailor the day to their preferences.

A Closer Look at the Experience

Imagine stepping aboard a sleek, well-maintained yacht at Playa Mujeres Marina, ready for a four-hour adventure that can be as laid-back or activity-packed as you like. This isn’t a crowded boat tour; it’s a private vessel, meaning you get the entire yacht’s attention and space. The boat itself, the Sea Ray #GMBSR55FUN, offers comfortable, refinished seating and sunbathing spots—perfect for soaking in the warm Caribbean sun or napping in the shade.
The departure point, Marina Hacienda del Mar, is well-situated for easy access, whether you’re staying nearby or opting for the optional round-trip transportation. The crew is multilingual (English and Spanish), which can make communication smoother, especially if you have specific questions or needs.
Once underway, the route takes you to Isla Mujeres, a small island famous for its laid-back vibe, colorful streets, and beautiful beaches. But the real highlight is the freedom to customize your time. You might spend a couple of hours snorkeling in the clear waters, exploring the reef with provided gear and floating mats, or simply swimming and relaxing on the beach.
If snorkeling isn’t your thing, the vessel’s scenic views alone are worth the trip—cruising past Cancun’s coastline offers some great photo opportunities. The boat’s amenities—complimentary beers, sodas, bottled water, snacks—mean you stay refreshed throughout your trip without needing to hunt for local cafes or worry about extra costs.
