    What you'll see and do

    1. Riviera Maya

      This gorgeous catamaran tour departs the Puerto Aventuras marina and head north for about an hour to a semi-sheltered reef area called In-Ha. At In-Ha, you can swim in the calm, crystal clear ocean water in one of the greatest spots to snorkel in the Riviera Maya. Snorkeling is fantastic here as you'll get to see sea turtles, colorful tropical fish and other reef life. Your onboard crew in the meantime will be serving snacks, cocktails and refreshments and of course our delicious and freshly made shrimp and fish ceviche. (Other lunch requests can be made in advance base on dietary restrictions) We'll spend a good amount of time snorkeling and swimming here but if you prefer not to go in the water, that's ok too! You can just relax onboard the yacht, sunbathing or enjoying a cocktail and snacks. Once all back onboard we will head to our second stop, La Bocana! Here is where many choose to enjoy their ceviche lunch and open bar. You can do so in the water if you'd like. It's really shallow and clear --it's kind of like a finale party stop. We'll get your favorite music going and you can enjoy this beautiful moment from the sea. Once everyone's back onboard again, we'll slowly cruise back to the Puerto Aventuras marina...and you can continue to enjoy the open bar and fantastic views of the Riviera Maya coastline. 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! The tour includes open bar with tequila, rum, vodka, Mexican beer, bottled water, soft drinks, and juice. We also serve chips and other snacks and our famous shrimp and fish ceviche. Towels, snorkel and fishing gear are also provided.

    Great family fun!

    The Skallywags crew took great care of us. It was a windy day and they had options for us to still enjoy the trip. We had 5 adults and six kids in our group and all had a great time. The food was delish. Would recommend.

    5H Private 40'Catamaran All-Inclusive in Tulum & Playa del Carmen: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa del Carmen.

    How much does 5H Private 40'Catamaran All-Inclusive in Tulum & Playa del Carmen cost?

    +

    Prices start at $2,259 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 5H Private 40'Catamaran All-Inclusive in 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 5H Private 40'Catamaran All-Inclusive in Tulum & Playa del Carmen worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 141 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable nightlife in Playa del Carmen, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 5H Private 40'Catamaran All-Inclusive in Tulum & Playa del Carmen?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is 5H Private 40'Catamaran All-Inclusive in 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 5H Private 40'Catamaran All-Inclusive in Tulum & Playa del Carmen?

    +

    Around 49 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 5H Private 40'Catamaran All-Inclusive in 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 Ride to a life changing cenotes tour, Chichén Itzá, Cenote and Valladolid with Lunch and transportation, From Playa del Carmen ATV Adventure with Ziplines, Cenote. 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.
