Select participants and date
The catamaran slips out of the marina with the kind of confidence that only the Caribbean can teach: slow, steady, and under a wide, forgiving sky. Foam beads along the hull, the DJ nudges the playlist past sunrise reggaetón into something balmy and bright, and the shoreline of Cancún slides into a thin green line behind you. Ahead, Isla Mujeres sits low and patient, its white-sand face turned toward the sea and the reef that makes these waters world-class.

Adventure Tips
Use reef‑safe sunscreen
Apply biodegradable sunscreen at least 30 minutes before boarding to protect coral and avoid greasy residue on snorkeling masks.
Secure valuables
Bring a waterproof pouch or dry bag for your phone, cash, and small items—deck life is wet and the boat can bounce at speed.
Bring cash for dock fees
A dock or port fee (about USD 20 per person) is often paid on arrival—have small bills ready to speed the process.
Time your snorkel
Opt for the morning snorkel when water is calmer and visibility is best; save the beach club for afternoon socializing and lunch.
