About this experience
You'll be greeted with a welcome drink and have this whole tour for your private group and it's customizable to you! See the Riviera Maya coast from the Caribbean Sea! This tour will go to one of the most spectacular beaches you’ve ever seen called Playa Palancar. This is a secluded and incredibly pristine beach and the clear aquamarine waters make it an ideal place to snorkel. You get to enjoy your grilled cheeseburgers your way, either onboard the yacht or on the beach under the shade of a “palapa” with your feet in the sand with amazing views in all directions. You'll breathe paradise. This tour also allows snorkeling at another nearby reef where you can get up close and personal with sea turtles and tropical fish and coral reef. You'll also get to enjoy a Caribbean sunset over the jungle region of the Riviera Maya; just another beautiful part of this biodiverse region. Snorkeling and fishing gear, towels, and floats are all available on this tour.

We depart from the marina in Puerto Aventuras and head north up the Riviera Maya coast. If weather permits we may set sail and sail about an hour up to Paamul Bay. If you’re into fishing, you can participate in troll fishing on board the tour and anything you catch we can prepare for you right there! Once at Paamul Bay, you can swim or snorkel the clear, calm water. There's also a nice beach area. This is one of the only tours where you can go to the beach as well! So if you brought some paddle tennis or you're into sand castle building you can swim to shore and enjoy the beach. Or just soak in the sun and relax. When snorkeling you'll often see colorful tropical fish, sea turtles, and a whole host of sea life. During the tour, the onboard crew will serve you anytime you’d like. There will be snacks and lunch and the open bar. You'll also have approximately 2 hours of water activity time of which you’re welcome to hop on and off the boat. Meanwhile, the onboard crew will be preparing your delicious shrimp and fish ceviche or perhaps a catch you reeled in while fishing! This is a great relaxing tour, perfect for friends and/or family on vacation. Perfect for beach and sea lovers alike.

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
8H 38' Catamaran All-Incl. to Cozumel 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 8H 38' Catamaran All-Incl. to Cozumel in Tulum & Playa del Carmen cost?
+
Prices start at $2920 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 8H 38' Catamaran All-Incl. to Cozumel in Tulum & Playa del Carmen take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 8H 38' Catamaran All-Incl. to Cozumel in Tulum & Playa del Carmen worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 53 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 8H 38' Catamaran All-Incl. to Cozumel in 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 8H 38' Catamaran All-Incl. to Cozumel in Tulum & Playa del Carmen suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 8H 38' Catamaran All-Incl. to Cozumel in Tulum & Playa del Carmen?
+
Around 19 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 8H 38' Catamaran All-Incl. to Cozumel 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 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.
