Your transfer to Cancun Sunset Boat Party
This page helps you plan your visit to Cancun Sunset Boat Party: what it is, opening hours and how to get there. Tickets are bought from the operator. What you book with us is the private round-trip transfer, at a fixed price per vehicle.
What is a sunset boat party?
It is an afternoon catamaran or boat trip with music, a DJ and a domestic open bar, almost always with a swim stop. The options differ in three ways: what time they leave, whether they stop at Isla Mujeres and whether minors can come.
Cancun Sailing runs the Booze Party Cruise: 4 hours with a DJ, domestic open bar, sparkling wine and snacks, for up to 100 people, with a stop off Playa Norte to swim at the sandbar or snorkel. Its itinerary lists check-in at 1:00 pm, the party from 1:30 pm and the return to Cancun at 6:00 pm.
If watching the sun go down is the point, Contoy Adventures runs Caribbean Sunset: it leaves Punta Sam at 4:00 pm on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, with drinks and live music, and you watch the sunset from Playa Norte. It is calmer and kids are welcome.
For groups that want their own party (bachelor and bachelorette trips, birthdays, company outings), Dancer Cruise rents out its catamaran at the time you choose, sunrise or sunset, with a DJ, bartender, kitchen and paramedic.
What to expect on board
The music starts when you cast off and runs until you are back at the dock.
Unlimited domestic drinks; sparkling wine too on the Booze Party Cruise.
Sandbar off Playa Norte, with a floating mat and snorkel gear.
To catch it, pick a 4:00 pm departure or a private boat.
Bachelor parties and birthdays can charter a whole catamaran.

How to get to Cancun Sunset Boat Party
These trips leave from marinas in the Hotel Zone or from Punta Sam, north of Cancun; the operator gives you the exact spot when you book. Punta Sam is a 30 to 45 minute drive from the Hotel Zone.
With an open bar, nobody in your group should drive. A private transfer takes you to the marina and back to your hotel when the party ends, in one vehicle for the whole group.
