About this experience
One catamaran. Four unforgettable ways to experience Isla Mujeres.
Sail across the turquoise Mexican Caribbean with music, ocean views, and drinks flowing from the onboard open bar. Dive beneath the surface for a guided reef snorkel, then recharge at a beach club with a buffet lunch, another open bar, and time beside the sea.
You’ll also have approximately 1.5 hours to discover Isla Mujeres your way—wander through its colorful streets, browse the local shops, or head toward the white sand and clear water of Playa Norte.
It’s the complete Isla Mujeres day: part sailing celebration, part underwater adventure, part beach escape, and still enough freedom to make the island feel like your own.
