Sail by Catamaran to Isla Mujeres

ITINERARY

Set sail on a 30-foot, shiny white catamaran out into the turquoise Caribbean Sea to discover all the shades of blue. Laying across the open netting of the catamaran is the most exciting way to explore the sea, but what’s the most fun part of having a sail? Spinnaker sailing! Hop on a rope seat and let the wind hoist you over 20 feet into the air as you glide on the breeze before being dunked back into the sea.

And it’s not snorkeling without the fish… that’s why we cruise far from shore to one of the area’s best coral reef national parks where you’re guaranteed to have the thrilling experience of being completely surrounded by a rainbow of brilliant tropical fish. Tropical rhythms fill the air and open bar services keep the drinks flowing throughout the journey.

Relax at our classic island beach club on the tropical paradise island of Isla Mujeres. Complete with palm tree latched hammocks, thatched roofs, and sunny beachside lounge chairs, the perfect day is well within reach on this fantasy island where pirates once buried their treasure.

We will pick up passengers at 8:45-9:15 am from all major Cancun Hotel Zone 1 hotels to check in at 9:30 am for departure at 9:55 am.

Set sail into the turquoise Caribbean Sea headed for Isle of Women, “Isla Mujeres.” Request your tropical drink of choice from the bartender and take a seat in the shade or enjoy the unique experience of stretching out at the front of the ship across our open netting, the only thing between you and the beautiful Caribbean Sea!

Relax and enjoy the views as we cruise along, stopping at a coral reef national park along the way for an hour of snorkeling. You’ll be guided through crystal clear 30 foot deep waters to admire beautiful coral formations, tropical fish and other interesting creatures of the Caribbean Sea. Your guide will sprinkle fish food into the water to completely surround you with schools of beautiful tropical fish. At the conclusion of your underwater journey, your catamaran will meet you at the other side of the reef so you don’t have to swim against the current, to continue on your way to the Albatros Beach Club.

As you make your way down the dock, don’t miss the chance to have your picture taken holding a shark! (Subject to availability and a small $1-$2 tip.) Then take a seat for beautiful ocean views while you enjoy a delicious all you can eat buffet lunch. You’ll also have open bar at the beach club and time to relax under palm trees in hammocks or lounge chairs.

Then re-board the catamaran and sail to the Isla Mujeres shopping zone, well-known for having some of the best deals in the entire Cancun region. Browse a range of interesting shops with everything from classic Mexican souvenirs to incredible hand carved limestone and wooden sculptures. Although sometimes hard to find, you’ll also find beautifully preserved sea creatures and shark jaws straight from the sea. You never know what you’ll find on Isla Mujeres!

On our way back, weather permitting, you’re invited to participate in "spinnaker" (parachute style) sailing. Hop in the water and sit on a padded rope before being lifted high into the air by a mini sail. Fly around in the wind from side to side before being dumped into the ocean. It’s an incredible experience you won’t forget!
