1.4 hours – Private 48ft Yacht all inclusive in Tulum and Playa del Carmen

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 443 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $1,299Our pick

Review of Playacht’s private 48-foot yacht from Puerto Aventuras, with reef snorkeling, beach time, food, drinks, paddleboards, and pickup options.

“Spacious and beautiful boat! We were treated with delicious ceviche, guacamole and quesidillas. The margaritas were as good as they can get on a boat! We communicated through whatsapp and the host was very responsive and extremely flexible. The In Ha reef is truly amazing. Our kids were taken on a paddleboard closer to the reef for a better view and the crew did everything they could to accommodate all our request. They had brand new anorkel gears available for all of us! We even caught a fish on our way back! My only regret is I booked it only for 4 hours, should have done the 5 hour trip!”

The drinks were great and the food was incredible—they even whipped up a fantastic mango ceviche at the last minute for the vegetarians in our group. When we stopped to snorkel we saw a huge manta ray and turtles and many fish. Highly recommend this trip!”

Review of Cozumel’s 4.5-hour luxury catamaran tour from Playa del Carmen, with snorkeling, lunch, open bar, paddleboards, and hotel pickup.

“The crew were great, (Hugo, Jonathan and Danny) fantastic snorkling and water activities. The crew really look after you with drinks and checking in, also great with the kids. It's a long day with bus transfers and ferry crossing etc, so would be good to have more food (althoygh very nice, when you havent been able to have breakfast due to an early pickup, a coffee and crossiant/fruit on arrival would be very welcome). Also, I would have rather had more time on the boat rather than an hour killing time (1.5 hours) in cozumel before the ferry back (personal preference)”
