About this experience
Treat yourself to a day of luxury on this 5-hour, private tour. Make stops at two gorgeous snorkel locations. Both are sheltered reef areas: In-Ha and La Bocana. Hop in the water and swim in the turquoise Caribbean sea with turtles and colorful fish. You'll also get to enjoy snacks, an open bar, a ceviche lunch (or lunch of your request in advance), and an attentive and friendly crew that will serve you the entire tour! What else is unique, is if you'd like, you can troll fish on this tour as well. Anything you catch can be prepared fresh onboard for you! Another unique feature is our last stop is more of a cut-loose finale stop. You can jump in the shallow water, enjoy your cocktails and lunch there, and we'll get your favorite tunes going. Then we’ll make a leisurely trip back to the marina so you can enjoy the views! It's a great tour for a group of friends or a celebration of a special occasion! This is one of the best ways to experience paradise!

What you'll see and do
Riviera Maya
This tour departs from Puerto Aventuras marina and heads north for about an hour to our first stop, a semi-sheltered reef area called In-Ha where you can swim in the calm, crystal clear ocean water in one of the greatest spots to snorkel in the Riviera Maya. You will be able to see sea turtles, colorful tropical fish, and other reef life. Your onboard crew will be serving snacks, cocktails, and refreshments, and of course our delicious and freshly made shrimp and fish ceviche. After this, we will head to our second stop, La Bocana! Where you can enjoy the water if you like, it's really shallow and clear. We'll get your favorite music going and you can enjoy this beautiful moment from the sea. We also offer troll fishing on this tour and anything you catch along the way can be prepared onboard with our chef’s secret family sauce!

Incredible snorkeling experience
Wonderful crew who went up and above to help my special needs daughter while snorkeling and accommodated her special diet
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing this. Making sure your daughter could snorkel comfortably and eat well is exactly the kind of day our crew wants to give every family, and it means a lot that you trusted us with it. You're welcome back on the catamaran anytime.

10/10 excellent experience and friendly crew
We have an incredible time on our 5 hour ride. It flew by. Roramon and his crew were amazing. They were super attentive, making sure we had what we needed at all times. Food was outstanding and they even worked with our allergies. Highly recommend and 100% would book with this group again.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you had such an incredible time aboard your private luxury catamaran and that the five hours flew by. Ramon and the crew will be delighted to hear your kind words and know their attentive service, delicious onboard food, and care in accommodating your food allergies made your experience so memorable. Providing personalized hospitality is at the heart of every Riviera Maya catamaran tour we offer, and your recommendation means the world to us. Thank you for choosing Riviera Elite, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable day on the Caribbean Sea!

Don’t think, Just BOOK
AMAZING! Luis, Pollo, Charly & Eddie, went ABOVE and BEYOND to make sure we had a fun, safe, unforgettable experience! Snorkeling was amazing - we saw sting rays & sea turtles & starfish … drinks were flowing … and food was fantastic! They even dove down & saved my sunglasses for me!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with us. We're thrilled to hear that Luis, Pollo, Charly, and Eddie went above and beyond to make your private catamaran tour fun, safe, and truly unforgettable. It’s fantastic that you enjoyed snorkeling and had the chance to see stingrays, sea turtles, and starfish in the beautiful Caribbean Sea. We're also happy you loved the delicious food, open bar, and especially that our crew was able to rescue your sunglasses—it's those extra touches that make a Riviera Maya yacht charter so memorable.

Why this scores 77
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
5-Hour 38'Luxury Catamaran All-Inclusive Tulum & Playa del Carmen: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa del Carmen.
How much does 5-Hour 38'Luxury Catamaran All-Inclusive Tulum & Playa del Carmen cost?
+
Prices start at $1931 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Playa del Carmen usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 5-Hour 38'Luxury Catamaran All-Inclusive Tulum & Playa del Carmen take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Playa del Carmen is not rushed.
Is 5-Hour 38'Luxury Catamaran All-Inclusive Tulum & Playa del Carmen worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 128 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Playa del Carmen, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 5-Hour 38'Luxury Catamaran All-Inclusive Tulum & Playa del Carmen?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 5-Hour 38'Luxury Catamaran All-Inclusive Tulum & Playa del Carmen suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 5-Hour 38'Luxury Catamaran All-Inclusive Tulum & Playa del Carmen?
+
Around 45 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Playa del Carmen can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Playa del Carmen and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 5-Hour 38'Luxury Catamaran All-Inclusive Tulum & Playa del Carmen start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Playa del Carmen within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Playa del Carmen?
+
On Outty we rank every Playa del Carmen experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include VIP Chichen Itza Private Tour, VIP Tulum Private Tour, Chichen Itza Private Tour VIP. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Playa del Carmen?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Playa del Carmen?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
