Meeting point
We meet all guests on the marina side of the Bamboo Cafe. Please arrive at least 15 minutes before departure time.
Description
Departing from the marina in Puerto Aventuras, we will cruise up the Riviera Maya coastline before heading back toward the marina, where we will enter into a semi-sheltered reef area called La Bocana. This is a well-protected area with flat, calm water where you can swim or just remain on the yacht, relaxing and taking in some sun!
While you’re enjoying the water, which you can hop in and out of at any time, your onboard crew is always available to serve you snacks, cocktails, and refreshments. We’ll spend a good amount of time anchored here at La Bocana. If you choose not to snorkel or swim, that's ok too! You can just relax onboard the yacht, sunbathing or enjoying a cocktail, the views, and some snacks.
Those who do jump in, you’ll love it. The water is shallow and clear here. Our La Bocana stop is like our “let loose and enjoy” stop. We’ll get your favorite tunes playing so you can enjoy this beautiful and unforgettable moment with your group from the sea!
