Ivan and the whole crew were awesome. They ensured we were having a lot of fun while being safe on the boat/in the water especially once the open water became choppy. Also, the gourmet lunch was amazing and filling. Legit 5 course bento box style. Ooh photographer Paola candidly captured some Kodak moments but stills were pricy. Can’t wait to do book another adventure of theirs on our next trip.

Balling on a budget! Worth it!

Paulina_C, Apr 2024

Very well worth it! I would totally book this again… I love being on the water and private boats are soooo expensive! Staff was very attentive and fun while making sure we all had fun and were safe. Amazing experience! I would book again. Thank youuuuuuuu!

Fun adventure sailing

Karen_D, Apr 2024

The ride out was a bit rough but couldn’t be controlled as it was really windy. The crew were very friendly and made sure all the guests were taken care of. A little disappointed with the lack of sea life in the water. Only saw a few fish. Once they me of the crew took us out past some coral, we were able to see more.

Nice option. Too far from Tulum.

Carolyn_D, Mar 2024

The boat was nice and the staff was friendly and helpful. This is far too far to be advertised as an experience in Tulum. It took hours to get there.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Yes!! This is the closest place to sail from Tulum; in a regular tour it is normal to stop by and collect other guests at a different hotels or meeting points; that's why you felt "it took hours to get there". The dock is actually just 15 to 20 minutes approximately driving from Tulum.

Not in Tulum . 1 hr away from Tulum

Peter_L, Feb 2024

This experience is intentionally misleading. It is advertised as being in Tulum. It is mentioned several times as sailing from Tulum. However this is in Playa del Carmen. That adds 1 hour each way to the trip

Response from Host, Feb 2024

The Marina where the boats depart from is the closest place to Tulum for Sailing. Only 15 to 20 minutes away! Of course, in a regular tour, there's some other pick ups.

It was rough but the crews

Tom_C, Feb 2024

The crew was awesome smoothed things out. We had a great time Matt was the best We all had a great time

Awesome Tulum day trip!

Alysha_v, Dec 2023

We had an awesome time on the tour!!! Pick up was easy, the overall experience was great, the crew was awesome, and the food was tasty. Snorkeling was fun and we enjoyed the generous open bar afterward. We would had loved to actually sail (a little rough on the way out so we motored, but it would have been perfect conditions to on the way back) but other than that, it was fantastic! Highly recommend as a day trip while in Tulum. :)

Excellent cuisine!

Shamika_C, Dec 2023

The vibes were fun and playful. The staff was very attentive and friendly. The food was amazing. Literally the best I ate in Tulum. My only con was the music. The selection was 80’s pop. If you make special requests they will accommodate you but otherwise they will not play a variety. Overall a great experience.

Solo trip

Had a pick up from my hotel. Food and drinks were good on the boat and snorkeling was a new experience for me, but I enjoyed it. Crew members were all amazing.

Kadyn_H, Nov 2023

Amazing Staff! We had the best time on this tour. Food was excellent and drinks were so good! We got to snorkel in the area and then swim/paddle board. Definitely worth doing! Wish it was longer than 4 hours

A fun afternoon on the water, but prepare to wait

CheneyR_D, Oct 2023

The crew, gourmet lunch, snorkelling, quality of the catamaran and open bar drinks available were excellent. Only reason a start was knocked is that the transfers prior to the trip took a very long time with numerous pick ups, snd we had to wait another 45 minutes once we were dropped off at the boat check in for other tourists to arrive before it began, so we were picked up at 11:30am and didn’t get on the boat until almost 1:30pm. Other than that, my girlfriends and I had a really wonderful afternoon lounging on the water!!

Spectacular time at sea!

Venesia_C, Oct 2023

The snorkeling is real-life snorkeling. If you haven't done it before, get some practice before you go. The paddle board was my favorite part, as well as the open bar! The entire crew was amazing, friendly, and helpful.

Not exactly Luxury

RalphF_B, Sep 2023

The Staff was very helpful and courteous. The snorkeling was way too long. Not the time. The path they took us on. Definitely needs more life preservers not the waist ones. The food was okay. This is not a luxury yacht, more of a catamaran boat. We had to sit on the netting up front. So if you looking for luxury this was not it. They accommodated my shellfish allergy. It was a nice experience. The staff is awesome. But when I think of luxury, this was not it.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

It's a shame you didn't enjoy the experience like 99.99% of our guests did, as you could read on the previous reviews. And of course, next time, it is possible to book a Private Yacht, if you could afford it...

No pictures sent after paying

Brianna_W, Aug 2023

We enjoyed ourselves so much !! Even though it started pouring rain, the staff made us comfortable & kept us entertained & safe. Only thing i don’t like is we paid so much money for pictures and never received them or got a refund

Response from Host, Aug 2023

You got from us what you have booked from us: The Sailing, the open bar, the lunch, the paddle board, the transportation, the snorkeling... The way we have to assist you with the extras, like pictures, souvenirs, all that is to put you in contact with them, because they will ask information you only have. We have sent you since the first moment the email you need to write them to, you just need to be patient, they have millions of pictures to be processed.

Awesome

Nesha_C, Aug 2023

The tour was amazing and the lunch they provided was delicious! I appreciate the good customer service they provided! I will go again!

Failed To Show, Left Us Hanging

John_J, Aug 2023

I paid in full for my trip a month in advance, party of 7. I confirmed my trip with the seller on WhatsApp and by email, as they requested. On the morning of the event, the seller failed to show for pick up. They ended up canceling the trip, leaving us in the resort lobby, waiting. They said there was a scheduling error on their end. They offered to reschedule us for another time, but we had already made arrangements and lost this opportunity for the experience. He did provide a full refund. But be aware this business is not fully organized yet, and just might leave you hanging even after fully confirming everything.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Yes!! Our system failed and it was on our end. We tried to compensate it offering you a VIP tour for the same day and the pictures of it for free, you wrote us you didn't want to go with us anymore, we understood you were upset and disappointed. This kind of situations happen 1 on 1,000,000,000; we are not perfect yet. An apology for the inconveniences caused by this situation, one more time.

SUCH A FUN TIME!!

Alexis_B, Jul 2023

This was the best way to end our trip in Mexico! It was my husband and I’d first time doing a boat tour and we had such a fun time! The scuba diving, food, music, and the wonderful people we met made this experience more than what we expected. I would definitely do this again!
