Disappointing!
Maintaining the cruise despite terrible weather. Swimming and snorkeling cancelled when included in the offer. An upgrade to 100€ for two not so justified. An animator who does not stop screaming all day. A stop shop catches tourists of 1 hour uninteresting and big waste of time. Disappointing drinks and food.
Response from the operator: Hello, It looks like there has been some confusion. We were able to acquire your full name from another review that you wrote directly on Google and unfortunately we have been unable find record of you in our booking system, meaning it looks like you were not a client of ours. First, I would like to ask that you please verify the company or service provider you used for your experience in order to resolve this issue. Secondly, I would also like to be very clear about a couple points in your review since this is a public forum and false information can be misleading to readers. - Weather will never affect your experience when booking with us. We offer weather insurance that protects you 100% in the case of bad weather cancelations. If bad weather occurs, you can either reschedule your experience at no extra cost, or receive a full refund. Our client's safety and satisfaction is of the utmost importance to us. - We will not (and have never) charged anyone an upgrade for anything related to our catamaran cruise. The price is displayed with full transparency before booking and we will never surprise you with an upgrade fee, especially one of 100€. Customer service remains our number one priority and false and/or misleading reviews negatively reflect on us as a company and can affect our reputation with future clients. Please reach out to us directly so we can figure out where this confusion has occurred: info@afterdark-entertainment.com. Thank you in advance and we hope to hear from you. Sincerely, After Dark Events & Entertainment

Great Excursion - Catamaran Boat Party
I booked the Catamaran Boat Party with After Dark and out the gate Ashley and Kara were very receptive to all my questions and concerns. At no time did I feel pressured to closing a deal. I was actually able to get in contact with Ashley while I was in Cancun for a small question and she was readily available. I was given all the information necessary to check with my group of 26 people. Check in was VERY smooth. The party itself was a blast. The snorkeling was a great adventure, about 30 minutes or so in the water and lots to see on the ocean floor. The guides were very attentive and made safety paramount. Rum punch and light cocktails are served on board after the snorkeling. The first stop was an opportunity to shop look around on a different part of the island. The second stop at the beach party was even better. There is a buffet style lunch served with a different variety of local cuisines and there is an open bar as advertised. There are activities to keep you busy or you can just lounge. The ride back was just as smooth. Music was light and entertaining, on this particular boat, Bruno Mars was the vibe. I the staff would have played whatever we asked if questioned though. Throughout the day they were very attentive, great energy, and not pushy. Here are a couple tips I would reommend. - Read everything!! After Dark sends you a disclaimer on all the things you need to know. Its not their fault if you don't read the information and encounter problems. Prevent mishaps by making sure you read and understand everything and follow up quickly with questions. They are very fast with responses! - Merchants: Merchants everywhere can be a bit annoying, but being polite and saying no thank you usually is enough. Also, on the stops, DO NOT PLAN to grab anything to eat, we were advised a meal could be prepared during a stop by a bar owner and it was not and there was an expectation to pay anyway. Just a caution. - Bring sun tan LOTION NOT SPRAY. The spray could cause the surface of the boat to become slippery up top. You will get a great tan too if the sun is out! - Bring exact change for the marina. The marina has a card option, but there is a percentage charged to the amount. Also, they did not have change for US currency readily available. Bringing the exact amount would have been a faster solution for me and my group. Lesson Learned. - Take Dramamine or some other type of sea sickness medication, just in case. I definitely recommend After Dark for your booking experience with the Boat Party.
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you so very much for your detailed and positive review of your experience with us in Cancun! We're so glad to hear that you found our staff helpful and our services enjoyable. Thank you for your tips and advice for our future clients to read, we can't tell you how much we appreciate your feedback. It was a pleasure hosting your group and we hope you will contact us again! Sincerely, After Dark Events & Entertainment

Great day but would have loved to hear a variety of different music
I had changed our date from 1/26/19 because of the weather/ And changed to 1.28/19 with Gabby. This was hubby 40 birthday trip we had a great time. Only reason for 4 stars was they did not play variety of music. Put it this way not one music that was not Spanish. But the crew as great to keep the party going. Also the lunch was great.
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review of your experience in Cancun. We're so glad you enjoyed your time spent with us. In regards to the music genre, the boat crew typically chooses music geared toward the interests/tastes of the crowd on each boat. That said, if you have requests or would even like to hook up your own playlist, they are very accommodating! The crew is there to make sure you have a great time and enjoy every part of your experience, so never hesitate to speak up. They will always help in any way they can! It was a pleasure to host your group and we hope you will contact us on your next trip so we can set you up with another boat and possibly some nightlife as well! Sincerely, After Dark Events & Entertainment

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Day Trip Catamaran Cruise: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cancun.
How much does Day Trip Catamaran Cruise cost?
+
Prices start at $75 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cancun usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Day Trip Catamaran Cruise take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Cancun is not rushed.
Is Day Trip Catamaran Cruise worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cancun, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Day Trip Catamaran Cruise?
+
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 Day Trip Catamaran Cruise suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 6-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Day Trip Catamaran Cruise?
+
Around 2 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 Cancun 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 Cancun and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Day Trip Catamaran Cruise 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 Cancun 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 Cancun?
+
On Outty we rank every Cancun experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Early Access to Chichen Itza All Inclusive with Valladolid and Cenote Swim, Whale Shark Tour from Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Tulum and Riviera Maya, Small-Group 3 Hidden Cenotes Adventure with Tequila Tasting. 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 Cancun?
+
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 Cancun?
+
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.
