Booze cruises and Punta Cana party boats

 Let’s start with the type of boat tour in Punta Cana which is geared more towards those of you who’d like to party, dance and drink throughout the day: the booze cruises and party boats in Punta Cana.

You can find our experiences with the booze cruises below, but let’s start with some of the best party boats in Punta Cana.

The best party boats and booze cruises in Punta Cana 

 Most of the Punta Cana booze cruises are pretty similar – you can find the detailed itinerary with our experiences below. What separates the amazing tours from the okay or not-so-good party boat excursions are usually the staff, the logistics and the entertainment. Here is a selection of the best party boats and booze cruises in Punta Cana.

Best-rated Punta Cana party boat tour

 Verified reviews (not those random ones on some platforms) are a great way to see if a tour is worth the money. For this best-rated party boat excursion in Punta Cana this is the truth as more than 90% of the guests are rating this tour as excellent. With a 4.79 rating this is indeed the best party boat in Punta Cana. Check below for the things to expect when booking this booze cruise.

Duration: approx. 4 hours Snorkeling included: yes Services included: transfers, snacks, drinks, entertainment team Price: check current rates and promotions here * Rating: 4.79/5.00 (as of September 2023)

Most popular booze cruise in Punta Cana

 There is another booze cruise in Punta Cana which is extremely popular – the one from SeaPro Divers. This tour company is one of the most established ones in Punta Cana and stands for safety, perfect organization and trustfulness. They exactly know what they have been doing for many years which is one reason why their party boat is so successful.

Duration: approx. 3-4 hours Snorkeling included: yes Services included: transfers, snacks, drinks, entertainment team Price: check current rates and promotions here * Rating: 4.72/5.00 (as of September 2023)

 Ok, if the two Punta Cana party boat tours are not enough for you, there is a very special boat tour in Punta Cana you shouldn’t miss: the Punta Cana pirate ship. It is a huge pirate ship, exactly like the one you know from famous pirate movies. It is cruising along the coast of Bavaro and focuses on a unique entertainment show, obviously with a pirate theme. All of the staff members have pirate costumes as well so be prepared for an amazing show in a spectacular Caribbean setting. 

Duration: approx. 3.5 hours Snorkeling included: yes Services included: drinks, entertainment team Price: check current rates and promotions here * Rating: 4.45/5.00 (as of September 2023)

 Party boats and booze cruises are what most people are looking for when booking catamaran tours in Punta Cana. Sun, music and a lot of fun are what is promised – and you will get exactly this.

The itinerary of most Punta Cana party boats is very similar.

After a pick-up from your all-inclusive resort in Punta Cana , you’ll get shuttled to the area where the catamaran is leaving. This can be either Cortecito, Corales or Bibijagua, all located in the center of Bavaro Beach . Here you might have to wait a few (Dominican) minutes, depending on if other groups or transfers are going to join. Some tour operators (see it linked in the table above in the Punta Cana “party boat + booze cruise” section) have a particularly nice waiting area as you can see in the photo.

Once you board your Punta Cana catamaran, the cruise is going to start. You head towards the ocean, can enjoy the Caribbean breeze and see the impressive coastline of Punta Cana with all its all-inclusive resorts , endless beaches and coconut palm trees.

 Your first stop is a small reef not too far away from your starting point – less than a mile, so you still can see the coastline. Here you get your snorkeling equipment, head into the water and can see some colorful fish. Depending on the time of the day, the boat trips attract the fish by feeding them bread. The last time fishes were there without additional feeding, which I preferred much more than attracting them with man-made food.

 As explained in my article about snorkeling in Punta Cana , don’t expect too much when it comes to this part of the Punta Cana booze cruise. While it is great for first-timers, you won’t be too impressed if you have already snorkeled in famous destinations around the world such as Belize, the Maldives, the southern Caribbean or the Red Sea. If your main objective is snorkeling, better choose one of the small group catamaran tours presented below which are heading to another, better reef in Punta Cana .

 However, snorkeling is also not why you are going on a booze cruise in Punta Cana, the party boat is what draws the attention. And this is right going to start after snorkeling when the alcohol starts flowing from the open bar (for security reasons, alcohol is not allowed before the snorkeling part). The cruise continues, music will make everyone moving and dancing and a few snacks are going to be prepared.

 Your next destination is the natural swimming pool, an area located between Bavaro Beach and Cabeza de Toro. It is a shallow area in the ocean, where you can stand in the water waist-deep and have fun enjoying your drinks and listening to music. Basically, all Punta Cana booze cruises are using this area to make a stop to party, so it can get busy (and loud) here. Even it is not the most authentic way to enjoy nature and the ocean, it is pretty cool to stand in the water, listening to party music, using slides to get into the water and getting served drinks from the open bar on some cool floating devices. There are worse places to enjoy your vacation in the Dominican Republic. 🙂

 The stop at the natural swimming pool usually takes around an hour. On the way back, the crew of most party boats in Punta Cana is engaging all guests into some more fun and party through interactive games or dancing contests. Be prepared to have a blast and don’t head onto one of those booze cruises when expecting a family catamaran or a relaxed Punta Cana boat tour. Having fun, getting entertained and enjoying these kinds of excursions is all that counts on this type of catamaran tours in Punta Cana .

If you are looking for these kinds of Punta Cana boat excursions, check out the following offers:

Depending on your booking, there are morning and afternoon tours available. The whole duration of the trip including pick-up and drop-off at your hotel is usually around 3 to 4.5 hours, depending on the length of the transfer. The actual time on the party boat is usually around 2.5 to 3 hours. Group size can be anything from 30 to 80 people, depending on the capacity of the catamaran. Usually, the party boats in Punta Cana get pretty packed with people as this brings a better party vibe – and more money for the charter company.

Get on a catamaran in Punta Cana – all the things you need to know

 If you’re more into the more relaxed boat excursions in Punta Cana and if snorkeling is important for you, a catamaran is the better choice for you. While they also play music, focus on having fun on (and in) the water and serve alcohol, they go to a better and more abundant snorkeling reef and have usually smaller groups to ensure a more personalized service, especially the better-rated catamaran tours in Punta Cana. 

The best tours and excursions with catamarans in Punta Cana

 If you are looking for the best tours and excursions with a catamaran in Punta Cana, it is a similar process as for the party boats. The well-rated catamarans have better services, a more personalized service, smaller groups, better drinks and a general better overall experience, especially as those tours focus on the client and not necessarily on the money. 

 The good news here is that there are 3 catamaran tours which have been belonging to the best excursions in Punta Cana for many years. Year after year they are receiving top reviews with ratings close to perfection and indeed – these Punta Cana catamarans are the best you can find when looking for a fun-filled yet relaxed half-day tour from your resort in Punta Cana.

Small Group Snorkeling & Cruising Catamaran

 The Small Group Snorkeling & Cruising Catamaran is one of the peoples’ favorite tours in Punta Cana. There is a maximum of 16 guests which guarantees customized service. The catamaran boat is huge and is equipped with hammocks over the water and a SUP. Drinks are included and are also served in the water (except for snorkeling), same as snacks and fruits. 

Duration: approx. 3.5 hours Snorkeling included: yes Services included: transfers, snacks, drinks, entertainment team Price: check current rates and promotions here* Rating: 4.91/5.00 (as of September 2023)

You can also book this specific tour as a private catamaran tour here *.

Adults Only Snorkeling with Seafood Lunch

 This Punta Cana catamaran tour is different and is absolutely worth your time and money. Even though this excursion is only running on a smaller motor-catamaran instead of the big and spacious sailing catamarans, it comes with some other unique perks: after snorkeling , they go to a small pristine beach, where you get served coconuts. Plus, a full and freshly prepared seafood lunch is included in this catamaran tour, which is prepared in their special floating kitchen. They also have a floating bar to serve you drinks in the water. And, last but not least, this is an adults-only tour in a small group, hence personalized service and good drinks are guaranteed. Oh, and in case I forgot, snorkeling at the restored reef is top-notch, much better than the snorkeling spot where all the Punta Cana party boats are going.

Duration: approx. 4 hours Snorkeling included: yes Services included: transfers, lunch, drinks, beach visit, entertainment team Price: check current rates and promotions here * Rating: 4.90/5.00 (as of September 2023)

You can also book this specific tour as a private catamaran here *.

 This is the family counterpart to the top-rated adults-only snorkeling boat trip in Punta Cana: a family-friendly snorkeling excursion on a catamaran with engines. It offers the same features, services and amenities as the adults-only tour described above. You just don’t go to the pristine beach but instead, the kids can enjoy a slide on the boat – the funniest way to get into the water. This is one of the best things to do with kids in Punta Cana .

Duration: approx. 4 hours Snorkeling included: yes Services included: transfers, lunch, drinks, entertainment team Price: check current rates and promotions here * Rating: 4.90/5.00 (as of September 2023)

 You might have gotten it already from the explanations and information above – the tours and excursions by catamaran in Punta Cana are pretty relaxed and easy-going. 

 You’re getting picked up at your resort in Punta Cana or your Airbnb in the area and getting transferred to either Cabeza de Toro or Bibijagua Beach, where most of the catamaran tours are starting. 

 The first part of the trip is some easy cruising over the ocean, where you can admire the coastline of the Dominican Republic. Your first stop will be the snorkeling spot, which is the much better reef at Cabeza de Toro compared to snorkeling where Punta Canas’ booze cruises are going ( Bavaro Reef ).

 After snorkeling, you are usually getting served the first drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) before heading to the natural swimming pool or a pristine beach section. Enjoy the water, music, entertainment, drinks served in the water and some snacks before heading back to your point of origin (or before having lunch if you book the Punta Cana boat trip with seafood lunch).

 Most of the tours take around 4 hours, hence it is a half-day excursion in Punta Cana and perfect if you don’t want to be away from your resort for the entire day, like it is the case for example when you head out for a boat trip to Saona Island .

 If you are looking for something more relaxed and not exclusively focused on the party, it is highly recommendable to pay a little bit more for a Punta Cana catamaran which goes with smaller groups. Even they have a similar itinerary, they pay more attention to nature and the service, which allows for a more private experience. Therefore, check out the recommendations we have outlined above for the best catamaran tours in Punta Cana.

 And still, even with a catamaran boat heading off with smaller groups, you don’t miss out on the party, it is just less crowded. For example, the Punta Cana catamaran tour you can book here * heads off with a maximum of 16 people, but still plays perfect music to enjoy, dance and feel the Caribbean vibe while at the same time keeping the drinks flowing to get you animated. In the end, with this Punta Cana boat excursion, you will visit the natural pool as well, just with fewer people on your boat.

The best private catamarans in Punta Cana

 Of course, most of the Punta Cana boat tours mentioned above are also available as private catamaran in Punta Cana.  By booking your private boat rental for your Punta Cana excursion , you can enjoy many advantages:

• You’ll have much smaller groups – just the people from your traveling party.
• Even the number of possible stops are limited, you can adjust the itinerary according to your wishes – at least you can say how long you want to stay at each stop.
• You don’t have any strangers on the boat in Punta Cana and can create the vibe you want.
• The staff is just there for you, creating an exclusive experience. You get their full attention and they will try to cater to any preference you might have.
• Drinks and snacks on the private catamaran will be exclusively for your group.
• In case of any problem, you can always seek immediate help from the staff or the tour operator of your private catamaran tour in Punta Cana.
• Pricing is very competitive. If you are traveling with a large family or a group of friends, the prices of a private catamaran can be cheaper than if booked individually. For example, if you are traveling in a group of 10 to 15, you can get a private catamaran in Punta Cana for as low as 50 USD per person – for a fully exclusive experience. In the widget below you are seeing some of the best private catamaran tours.

 Considering you are paying the same price (50-80 USD per person) as for the big shared booze cruises, a private party boat in Punta Cana is a perfect option for families and smaller groups.

 And even if you are a bigger group with 20 up to 80 people, a private catamaran tour in Punta Cana is the perfect experience as you can get the party going exclusively among your group. The itinerary with snorkeling and a natural swimming pool is similar to the description above in the booze cruise and party boat section.

There are plenty of options when you’re looking for a private catamaran in Punta Cana. To make the choice easier for you, we have selected a few remarkable tours in case you’re looking for a private boat rental in Punta Cana. All of them follow the itineraries outlined above, but usually it is possible to adjust them slightly according to the needs and preferences of your group.

The best sunset cruises in Punta Cana

People often ask us about sunset cruises in Punta Cana as an alternative to the typical catamaran tours during the day. Unfortunately, except if you book one of the private charters showed in the section above and ask explicitly if you can stay on the boat until 7 pm (sunset in Punta Cana usually is between 6.30 pm and 7.15 pm), there are no sunset cruises in Punta Cana. Most boats have to be back onshore at the latest at 6 pm, which is why a sunset cruise in Punta Cana is hard to realize. Furthermore, the colors of the ocean and the entire coastline are not as impressive after 5 pm which is why it is better to go during the day for the most beautiful photos.

TRAVEL COACHING

Do you need help planning a customized vacation in Punta Cana and the Dominican Republic? Is it difficult for you to decide what and where to book? Would you like to take advantage of someone with years of experience in the tourism industry (knowing all the travel hacks 😉 ) and living right in the place where you would like to spend your holiday? That’s what my personal travel coaching is for. I will design your tailor-made itinerary, tell you how to save money on your trip and send you the best insider tips and recommendations. All the information I send you are crafted with love and passion – and are coming with a money-back guarantee. Let me know how I can help you ( check my packages here ) and send me a request here !

However, interestingly enough, some tour operators are pretending that their regular party boats are sunset cruises. I also see some of the Punta Cana catamaran tours writing “Enjoy watching the sunset on this fun-filled Punta Cana party boat” (or something similar) and on the same page, you see that they start their tours at 10 am and 2 pm, which means they finish by 1 pm respectively 5 pm – far away from the sunset hours.

Another point why Punta Cana sunset cruises are difficult is because the sun sets in the west, but Punta Cana is located on the east coast of the Dominican Republic. So even you can see the sunset changing the sky into a riot of colors, you will never see this spectacular Caribbean postcard scene where the sun is plummeting as a red fireball into the sea. If this is what you want to see, better go to nearby Bayahibe .

Compared to the booze cruises and party boats in Punta Cana described above, which are all half-day excursions, Isla Saona and Isla Catalina are full-day tours. As long as you can spare the time, those tours are the perfect option to get a glimpse into the beauty of the Dominican Republic.

  Isla Saona is the most popular excursion in Punta Cana and leads you straight to paradise. The island is so gorgeous that it is hard to believe. Even there are a lot of tourists heading there, you definitely will find your perfect stretch of beach as there are plenty. The tours are usually done one way with a catamaran and one way with a speed boat, offering a perfect mix and a good alternative to the catamaran tours in Punta Cana. Furthermore, you stop at the natural swimming pool (which, to be honest, is much nicer than the one in Punta Cana) and get lunch during your Isla Saona excursion .

 There are many different tours to Saona Island, starting from as low as 60 USD incl. transfers from Punta Cana, but you can also book premium tours with personalized service * or posh catamarans. To get to know more about the details and all the different options, it is best to read the article about the best Isla Saona excursions from Punta Cana .

 On the other side, there is Isla Catalina . When it comes to natural beauty Isla Catalina scores at least 9 out of 10 points (and Isla Saona 11 out of 10 😉 ), considering you are visiting a wonderful island located in the Caribbean Sea. Furthermore, Catalina Island is the best Punta Cana catamaran alternative when it comes to snorkeling, as all Isla Catalina excursions include a stop at a reef which is better than the Punta Cana snorkeling .

Same as for Isla Saona , Isla Catalina tours are starting around an hour away from Punta Cana and take the whole day, but transfers from Punta Cana are included for most excursions. To find the best deal, check out this comprehensive post about the best Isla Catalina excursions .

It was an wonderful experience and me and my crew had an amazing time and you guys have some of theeeee finest men working out there. Shout out to the young man who looked like the younger version of micheal jackson.

Morgan (verified purchase) – August 17, 2023

Great way to get off of the resort for the day, we loved our boat trip! Service was awesome & the scenery was hard to beat. Super relaxing, would definitely do it again.

Michael (verified purchase) – June 16, 2023

Booked their airport transportation and the Catamaran boat trip. Driver was roadside waiting for us with a sign and took us to hotel in air conditioned van. Same goes for the ride back to airport today. On 2 June we went out on the Catamaran trip. It was an awesome trip. Snorkeling, sailing around the Caribbean and lots of dancing and music. We controlled the playlist and they made sure our cups stayed full. From Presidents to Mama Juana…we all had a great time. I spoke with Julio while in the states and he kept in touch the whole time via email. Thank you Puna Cana Tours!

Alden (verified purchase) – May 4, 2023

We loved the excursion! Snorkeling was close to the shore, but very choppy. Views were spectacular. Captain was great!! Sandwich lunch was fine. We didn’t have enough time for shopping. Be careful of pictures – took us a long time to get them back. I recommend your own camera!!

Ronda (verified purchase) – March 4, 2023

Our group included 7 adults. We had a great time. Pick up and drop off was prompt. The snacks (fruit, salsa/chips, sandwiches) were sufficient considering there was alcohol consumption. The unlimited drinks were really nice. Those who snorkeled enjoyed the experience. Our crew was awesome.

I rated a 4 instead of a 5 because I felt like the representative from the tour operating company snubbed me when she found out we booked through a 3rd party v. directly with them.

Alfred (verified purchase) – February 26, 2023

Punta cana tours helped give us the best trip of our lives! The crew on the sailboat was first class and a lot of fun! I recommend this tour group for any excursion in Punta Cana. First class all of the way!

Kyleigh (verified purchase) – December 27, 2022

We did a 1/2 day catamaran tour and the entire staff was very pleasant and ensured we were enjoying the day. We stayed at the Westin, which is about 20 minute drive to the beach location, but they arranged pick up/ drop off. On the boat the staff was professional and explained everything clearly and were eager to assist with anything

Susan (verified purchase) – September 7, 2022

The guys were fantastic! Energetic, helpful, and striving to keep the customers happy. Orlando the bartender was super in and out of the water, Hakuna Matada the photographer was phenomenal with capturing our special memories, Jon Carlo was a delight with making sure we were safe while we snorkeled. Hospitality was superb! My crew of 9 ladies had a blast!

Finnegan (verified purchase) – July 31, 2022

The boat trip was by far the best part of our stay and we had an absolutely fantastic experience. The crew was great, the weather was great, the excursions were great, the food was great. Couldn’t be happier. 100% do it again next time!

Eli (verified purchase) – June 29, 2022

By far, one of our most fun tours during our week long trip! Snorkeling is fun, but beware of rough waters and you’ll be all good 😉 Party boat for sure! Take it easy on the Mamajuana as well, medicinal or not 🙂

Nathaniel (verified purchase) – June 25, 2022

We loved our trip along the coast. One of the best catamaran excursions we have ever taken. Our family would highly recommend Punta Cana Tours.

Ezekiel (verified purchase) – June 18, 2022

Marianna (verified purchase) – June 8, 2022

We did the half day tour down the Bavaro coast. The trip was great fun with a few stops for snorkelling and then one where they had a floating bar, turned up the music and had a lot of laughs. All in all the trip was a great morning out and great value for money.

Shania (verified purchase) – April 30, 2022

This was my first time snorkeling. I was nervous but terrified once I got in the water. Luckily Heriberto (Eric) was with me and my husband the whole time. He made us feel very safe and I got so confident I went out on my own. After we stopped at a sandbar and it was so awesome. We also did some dancing on the boat. So much fun!

Jaxx (verified purchase) – March 29, 2022

We had a great time! We have already passed on the info to some friends who may come next year. We had plenty of time to snorkel & then to swim later & nice snacks. Everyone who served us on the boat was friendly & nice to us. Will definitely book again next time! Thanks for everything!

Kasen (verified purchase) – February 12, 2022

These guys were fantastic. We signed up for the exclusive tour as opposed to the overcrowded Saona Island tour and we couldn’t have been happier. We shared a catamaran with only 9 other people and the experience was beyond words. The crew (coffee, shaggy, scooby and the girl who’s name I forget) were as so friendly and professional. Went to 2 snorkeling sites as well as a shallow 4 ft area where we could stand and take pics. Kids had a blast as did the adults. Would definitely recommend this excursion to anyone looking for a snorkeling experience.

Rebecca (verified purchase) – January 26, 2022

My fiancé and I had never been on the ocean before and were a little nervous but the captain and crew were so fun and energetic we lost out nerves. We had a fabulous time, snorkeling for the first time, jumping off the catamaran and then hanging out in the natural pool. I’d recommend this to any young couple looking for a little adventure!

Rebekah (verified purchase) – January 26, 2022

Awesome Excursion! This excursion gives you everything you could want all in one! Not only do you get to enjoy snorkeling, but the party after is awesome! The staff was so helpful and friendly. We had a wonderful time

Grant (verified purchase) – December 27, 2021

Best deal in Punta Cana! This was a fun catamaran tour with snorkeling, drinks,fruit and chips/salsa. They accept credit cards which was a selling point with us. The crew were a lot of fun. This was a very reasonably priced excursion for the money.

Danny (verified purchase) – October 20, 2021

PROS: We enjoyed the catamaran boat ride, swimming in sand bar area, lunch on the beach, and speed boat ride. The scenery along the way was absolutely beautiful. CONS: We did not like all of the peddling of “junk” by tour operator, high pressure beach peddlers that won’t take no for an answer. We also didn’t like the lack of soft drinks or beer on the boat and beach – only cheap rum and coke.

Glululu (verified purchase) – September 23, 2021

They were on time to pick us up for the catamaran tour, worth the price.

Elaine (verified purchase) – August 24, 2021

Catamaran trip, it was a fun little afternoon excursion. The boat staff was super friendly / funny. The snorkeling was pretty average (really not a reef by any stretch) but we knew that going into it and so for us it was exactly as expected — – fun afternoon – good laughs – plenty of rum drinks and a few snacks (no lunch, so don’t plan on filling up)

What do you do on a catamaran tour?

Catamaran tours in Punta Cana offer snorkeling, a cruise along the coast, a stop at the natural swimming pool (a sandbar with waist-deep waters) and of course music and open bar!

Is there good snorkeling in Punta Cana?

Punta Cana has plenty of coral reef for snorkeling. You'll see plenty of tropical fish, starfish and possibly stingrays and sea turtles. Although snorkeling in Punta Cana isn't considered "world-renowned" it's a fun experience for the novice snorkeler.

What is a catamaran?

Most boats and yachts in Punta Cana used for excursions are technically catamarans. A catamaran is a water vessel with two equal sized hulls underneath, otherwise known as a dual hull catamaran. Nearly all catamarans in Punta Cana are dual hull with a few being tri-hull.

How long do you snorkel for?

Snorkeling lasts for 45 minutes and it's the first stop on the tour. Once snorkeling is done, the bar is open!

How long do we stay at the natural swimming pool?

You'll have about an hour to enjoy the natural swimming pool. They'll be music, snacks and drinks in this amazing Caribbean setting.

What food and drink is served onboard?

We serve nachos, salsa and fresh fruit along with water, beer, rum and soda from the bar.

More About Playa del Carmen Catamarans

Here are some of the basics on catamarans in Playa del Carmen:

What is a catamaran?

A catamaran is a large boat with two hulls of equal size that are connected by a bridge deck. 

The two-hulled design enhances stability and allows the catamaran to be better balanced in the water and when sailing. It also allows for more deck space than traditional yacht rentals .

As catamarans can venture into shallower waters, they have become very popular in Mexico and the Caribbean and are commonly used for Playa del Carmen sailing and snorkeling or scuba diving tours. 

What can you do on a catamaran?

Catamaran tours from Playa del Carmen are typically a boat tour that will take you sailing around the bright turquoise waters of the Mexican Caribbean. 

Each catamaran experience is different but they most commonly will include:

• Catamaran sail
• Paddle boarding
• Dancing and/or DJ
• Some food and beverage

Why go on a Playa del Carmen catamaran sail?

Going on a catamaran from Playa del Carmen is one of the most unique things to do in the Riviera Maya and is one of the best ways to see and experience the stunning turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. 

It’s a fun and totally unforgettable experience if you love the ocean and being on a boat.

Who are catamarans not suited for?

If you tend to suffer from motion or sea sickness, then catamarans are probably not for you.

I know some people that have had luck using these sea sickness bracelets but if you’re not comfortable being on a boat, then it probably won’t be fun for you. 

Where do the Playa del Carmen catamarans leave from?

Catamarans do not leave directly from Playa del Carmen , as Playa del Carmen does not have a marina.

Depending on which catamaran experience you choose, you’ll need to go to the marina in nearby destinations such as Puerto Aventuras, Cozumel, Cancun, or Isla Mujeres.

How much do Playa del Carmen catamarans cost?

There are catamaran tours available for every budget.  You can expect to pay around $60-$150 USD per person for a group catamaran tour.  

On the other hand, Playa del Carmen private catamaran charters can cost anywhere from $900-$2,500 USD depending on the size of the boat and duration.

Keep in mind you’ll also need to factor ground transportation costs into the total cost of the catamaran experience. 

Catamarans don’t leave directly from Playa del Carmen so you’ll still need to pay for a taxi or transfer to get to the marina where the boat is leaving from. 

Transportation is included in some of the Playa del Carmen excursions or can be added for an additional fee so be sure to check for this when booking your catamaran experience. 

How long do catamaran tours in Playa del Carmen last?

What to Bring on a Playa del Carmen Catamaran Tour

Here are some of the Mexico travel essentials I would recommend bringing on a catamaran tour:

• Swimsuit: You will more than likely be getting in the water so you’ll want to wear a swimsuit and coverup. 
• Sunglasses : Don’t forget sunglasses to wear on the catamaran–it will likely be very bright and sunny! 
• Beach towel: Bring a beach towel to dry off after you get out of the water. These microfiber beach towels are great options because they are super light weight and dry quickly between the multiple stops.
• Biodegradable sunscreen: Any time you are going to be swimming in the ocean, it is so important to bring biodegradable sunscreen to protect and preserve the coral reefs. You can pick up my favorite brand on Amazon here .
• Snorkel set: If you’re concerned about comfort or cleanliness, I would recommend bringing your own snorkel set instead of using the one provided on the tour. I’ve been on snorkeling tours where my snorkel mask didn’t fit well and it totally ruined the experience so now I always bring my own.  
• GoPro or waterproof camera: I would highly recommend bringing a GoPro or waterproof camera to capture your snorkeling and catamaran experience. I always bring my GoPro and am constantly amazed by the picture quality.
• Change of clothes: You’ll also want to bring a change of clothes so you can change out of your wet swimsuit before the ride back to your hotel or resort.

• Go private if you can: If you have a larger group or are willing to pay more for an exclusive experience, then definitely consider booking a private catamaran tour. The experience will be much more personalized and you won’t have to worry about obnoxious tour-goers ruining your experience. 
• Bring your own snorkel set: If you plan to snorkel, I would recommend bringing your own snorkel set to ensure the best comfort and cleanliness. 
• Wear biodegradable sunscreen: As I mentioned, don’t forget to bring biodegradable sunscreen . It’s absolutely essential if you need sun protection.
• Take lots of pictures: A catamaran is truly a bucket list experience you won’t want to forget! If you don’t have a GoPro or waterproof camera, bring a waterproof phone pouch to protect your phone and still take lots of pictures around the water.

🇲🇽 Traveling to Mexico soon?

These are the Mexico travel resources I use and recommend:

🏨 Hotels : I always find the best deals for Mexico hotels and resorts on Expedia or Booking.com . If you prefer a vacation rental, check VRBO as they are often cheaper than AirBnB’s added fees!

✈️ Flights : I recommend using Skyscanner for the best Mexico flight deals. Be sure to sign up for their price alerts for your preferred travel dates.

🚗 Rental Cars : I recommend using Discover Cars because you can compare multiple car rental companies and see detailed ratings for overall value, ease of pick-up, efficiency of agents, car condition, and overall time spent.

🚙 Cancun Airport Transportation : I recommend booking a private transfer with Cancun Airport Transportation for the quickest and most hassle-free option!

🤿 Tours & Activities: I always use Viator or GetYourGuide for booking tours and activities in Mexico. You can cancel up to 24 hours before the tour for a full refund, plus they have excellent customer service if you were to have any issues.

🚨 Travel Insurance: After my Dad broke his hand in a taxi accident in Playa del Carmen, I always recommend buying travel insurance before your trip for added peace of mind! I recommend Travel Insurance Master for short trips or Safety Wing for digital nomads.

☀️ Biodegradable Sunscreen : Don’t forget to add biodegradable sunscreen to your Mexico packing list ! Regular sunscreen is prohibited on most snorkeling tours, so you’ll need to pack some biodegradable sunscreen for sun protection. I recommend Sun Bum Sunscreen , which is reef-friendly, vegan, and cruelty-free.
