Good Times
Very small group which was our preference. Definitely not a massive party ship. Crew was friendly, drinks were strong and lunch was simple but good.

Highlight of our vacation
This trip was the highlight of our vacation. My 22 year old daughter and I are on a weekend trip in Cancun. We coordinated a private tour with Sergio who was flexible with us. Everything could not have been more perfect. The boat was amazing. The staff was incredible. They provided many snacks, drinks and lunch. The sandbar was clear and beautiful and we had the bonus of seeing a couple sea turtles. Our transportation was punctual. It could not have been a more perfect day. I will definitely book again if o return to Cancun.

Caution if you don’t know how to swim
A sandbar and don’t have to know how to swim resulted in over 8ft of water getting off the boat! The tour guides tried to explain it was a sandbar but sandbars are like max 3ft of water. If you don’t know how to swim be cautious with this trip.
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We understand that the term "sandbar" can create different expectations. The sandbar we visit is a natural formation, and its depth varies depending on the tides, weather conditions, and the specific area where guests enter the water. For everyone's safety, our guides provide a briefing before entering the water, explain the conditions, and life jackets are available and recommended, especially for guests who are not confident swimmers. Your comments are valuable, and we will continue working to ensure our explanations are as clear as possible so guests know what to expect before the tour begins.

Fun & Relaxing Excursion!
My wife and I an amazing day with Angel, his crew, and another couple on the catamaran tour. The capain and crew were very fun, friendly and attentive - making sure we had our fill of beer, Palomas, or other beverages. It took us about an hour to slowly cruise north along the coast to the shallow sandbar where we relaxed, chatted, and swam in gorgeous, crystal clear water (with NO sargasssum seaweed) for another hour. Back on board, we shared snacks and sipped complimentary tequila while chatting with the other couple and the crew. We had a great time thanks to the beauty of the Caribbean, the hospitality of the crew, and laid-back atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Bad
Terrible service. We had to contact them the nught before to see if our excursion was still on for the next day and the rudest employee wrote us saying there is less people then expected so they had no idea if our excursion was going to happen. So much for a VIP experience. It’s not our fault other people where not signed up and they should have honored our excursion
