What you’ll do

Time to swim and snorkel in crystal-clear water (sea conditions permitting)
Water, beer and soft drinks on board
Boarding at Marina Sunrise with no dock fee to pay

What to expect

Picture a morning on the water with just your people on board. On this private trip the boat is yours alone: you set out from Cancun, cross the bay and head for Isla Mujeres, the island you can see from the Hotel Zone, about 13 km (8 miles) to the northeast.

You board at Marina Sunset, at km 5.8 of Kukulcan Boulevard in the heart of the Hotel Zone. Marina access is included, so there's no dock fee to pay when you get on. With this option you make your own way to the marina.

You're sailing inside a national park that covers the west coast of Isla Mujeres plus Punta Cancun and Punta Nizuc, a protected area that's part of the Mesoamerican Reef System, and that turquoise color stays with you the whole way. It's a great chance to swim in clear water, and if you love snorkeling, bring your own mask to take a look below.

On board there's water, beer and soft drinks for the ride, life jackets for everyone and liability insurance. Food isn't included, so once you're on Isla Mujeres you can pick any spot you like and try the island's cooking.

It's a great fit for families, groups of friends or couples who'd rather not share the boat with strangers. Departures depend on sea conditions and the Port Authority's clearance that day. Book your private ride with us and let the Caribbean do the rest.
