Looking for the best Cancun catamaran cruises? Check out this guide to find the perfect Cancun sailing tour for your trip. 

Cruising the Caribbean Sea in a catamaran is one of the best things to do in Cancun and one of the ultimate activities to enjoy the natural beauties of the Yucatan Peninsula.

You’ll not only glide through the perfectly blue waters, but in most Cancun catamaran tours you’ll get to swim and snorkel and visit the beautiful island of Isla Mujeres . 

catamaran boat trips cancun

I’ve listed below some of the best Cancun catamaran cruises so you can choose the one (or ones!) that suits your interests, whether it’s partying on the boat or relaxing on the deck with a drink.   

I usually use Get Your Guide and Viator when booking tours around the world, and I recommend both platforms especially because they have a great cancellation policy . In fact, with both Get Your Guide and Viator you can get your money back if you cancel up to 24 hours before the tour date in most cases. For catamaran cruises in Cancun specifically, Viator has more options than Get Your Guide, that’s why you’ll find that most of the options down below are from this platform that I use and trust.

Now, let’s check out the best catamaran tours from Cancun!

Best Classic Catamaran Cruises from Cancun

Most cruises sail toward Isla Mujeres and include some free time to explore the island. These are the best classic cruises from Cancun in catamarans.  

➤ The Sailing Experience to Isla Mujeres makes its first stop at a reef location so you can swim and snorkel among the colorful fish that inhabit it. You’ll then continue gliding toward the island and enjoying the benefits of having an open bar in the catamaran.

Upon arriving at Isla Mujeres you’ll have some time to relax at the beach or shop around before heading back to Cancun.

Pirate Catamaran Cruise: Perfect for Kids

The classic Caribbean catamaran cruise sounds a bit too…well, classic for you? Don’t worry! We’ve got you covered with a super fun, themed Cancun catamaran excursion, taking the sailing experience to a whole new level. 

In the Pirate Show and Dinner Cruise , a 3-hour Captain Hook dinner cruise, you’ll embark on a Spanish galleon to enjoy a gourmet meal served by pirates, listen to epic pirate tales, dance on the open-air deck, and witness a live-action battle at sea. 

It’s pirates we’re talking about, so of course you’ll get access to the open bar (is suggesting rum way too cliché?) and you’ll benefit from the air-conditioned indoor seating after all that dancing. Since the cruise departs in the evening, it’s the perfect choice for some sunset sailing in Cancun!

Recient Reviews of Cancun Activities

Wouldn’t refund me because we had to cancel because of a sick person.

Great experience. Professional! Would definitely recommend.

Description said possible sailing. Well, when we got there no sails even on the boat. So motor only. On the ride back, transportation was 20 mins late and made us cross the road to the van that was parked in a travel lane. Was pretty ske tchy. Tour and crew were pretty good though.

I was happy with the pick up and return

I enjoyed the trip and the crew were very attentive. The documentation told us to wear a mask on the transport to the dock and to bring flip flops for the boat. Both these things are wrong. Masks are no longer required and we were not pe rmitted to wear ANY shoes on the boat (Something I did not like. A bit unsanitary that!). We were to meet our boat a 4 PM after the lunch on the beach but the boat didn't turn up until 4:25 ...but no one was there to tell us it was delayed (apparently because the golf cart trip was running late). Better organization is required when plans change.

Staff was very helpful, polite and puts you at ease immediately. I was very happy the the service. They have your back and that made me feel safe.

Happy Tours sells a third party product and provides transportation to and from the excursion starting point. They lacked a bit of organization in the drop off/ pick up before and after the actual excursion, but remedied quickly. Don't w aste your money on the extra fee for the golf cart tour. Its only 45 minutes and you don't get any appreciable time at punta sur.

My entire trip was absolutely amazing. Great customer service to and from every excursion. I highly recommend.

'Our boat is sinking!': Video shows terrifying moments ferry sank in Bahamas, killing 1

catamaran boat trips cancun

A 75-year-old American woman is dead after a double-decker ferry carrying cruise ship passengers to a popular tourist island sank in the Bahamas, local officials said.

The incident took place Tuesday as the boat departed Paradise Island, Nassau, while ferrying tourists to Blue Lagoon Island, a spokesperson with The Royal Bahamas Police Force confirmed to USA TODAY.

The tourist destination is located about three miles northeast of Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas.

Frightening video taken from the scene shows passengers wearing orange life vests around their neck, clinging to one side of the ferry as the vessel sinks into Caribbean turquoise waters.

Here's what we know:

At least one American citizen died

Police said the ferry left a dock in Paradise Island about 9:30 a.m. with about 100 passengers on board, the Nassau Guardian reported.

"The vessel experienced rough seas in the area, which resulted in the boat taking on water and becoming submerged in waters just outside of Blue Lagoon," police chief Superintendent Chrislyn Skippings told the outlet.

Police reported a 75-year-old woman from Colorado died in the incident, according to the outlet.

Her identity and cause of death were not immediately known.

Passengers were reportedly all from a cruise ship

According to a statement released online from Blue Lagoon Island, the passengers on board the ferry were from a cruise ship.

The accident took place as the vessel was approaching Blue Lagoon Island, the statement said and emergency teams from the island "quickly arrived to render assistance."

“Passengers and five staff members were located and brought to the island, and two passengers were taken to the hospital for additional care," the statement continues.

'Our boat is sinking'

"Out boat is sinking," Kelly Schissel, an American tourist on board the vessel, is heard saying in a TikTok video she filmed as the boat took on water. "Everybody is freaking out."

Chaos and screaming is heard in the background of the video which shows people with life jackets around their necks, some leaning over the boat looking into the water watching in horror as it sinks.

"I'm on the top floor of a ferry," Schissel says as she continued to film, the boat seen tipped on its side into choppy waters.

At one point, people are seen jumping off what appears to be the back of the boat into the water as others on board continue to shout.

About a half dozen people in the shot are seen swimming towards another boat stopped a short distance from the ferry.

"We were almost there... we weren't actually that close to shore it just kind of looked like it," Schissel said in a follow up video on TikTok shot after she made it to land.

She said when water began pouring into the boat, many passengers were waiting for instruction from crew members, but they reportedly did not give any.

So when they saw someone jump into the rough water, she said, they followed in suit with life jackets and swam to a nearby boat until other boats arrived to help in the rescue effort.

The conditions of those transported to the hospital were not immediately known Wednesday.

In addition to local authorities, according to the Blue Lagoon statement, the island alerted the cruise ship and the U.S.Embassy about the accident.

The statement said the organization would release more details as they become available
