Isla Mujeres Catamaran Adventure

Great day trip. The seas were a little rough which created difficulty for snorkeling, but that beyond the control of the tour company for sure. 100% would do this tour again. The beaches were stunning.

Cancun Sailing Catamarans to Isla Mujeres- The Greuze boat and crew were excellent!! They made the whole process easy and made sure everyone had a great time and experience! You just have to listen to their detailed instructions and enjoy your day!

Great time. After being picked up from our hotel we were taken to Marina where we boarded our catamaran "Greuze". We were met by our guide "Julio number 9", captain "Pancho" and sailors Isabella and Charlie. After a brief introduction and explanation of the ship we were offered drinks both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Julio kept music playing and interacting with the guests. There was a stop to allow snorkeling at the coral reef, it was encouraged to sit out the snorkeling if you were not a strong swimmer. From there we arrived at Isle Mujeres and were shown where we would have access to the buffet and drinks as well as the beach. There were also opportunities to explore the island on foot or via a rented golf cart. While walking the shops we were approached multiple times by people claiming to be our waiter or bartender from the resort who were just trying to get our attention for a sale. We would recommend trying to hide or obscure your bracelet from your resorts.

Just don’t bother, it’s a huge waste of time and money to be herded around like cattle on an overcrowded boat. Our itinerary said we’d be dropped off at a marina approx 10 miles from where we were actually dropped off, and when I say dropped off we were kicked out of the van at a random restaurant and given no guidance of where to go or what to do. Eventually figured it out after 10 minutes. The snorkeling is a woeful experience for about 15 minutes, super rushed. You’re then herded over to what can honestly only be deserved as a miserable ‘beach club’ (it’s a nasty buffet and a bar that serves you 4oz beers and then kicks you out). It’s packed because they send about 500 people to the beach club all at once so don’t bank on finding any sun loungers. The boat staff are basically useless, with all due respect they know they’re working for a cash grab so the don’t care at all. Don’t expect any recommendations on what to do on the island… On our return, our transportation back to the hotel was delayed by around 25 minutes - so while everyone else was on their way back we were stranded at the marina with a poor staff member who had no idea where our driver was. Just an all round, unorganized mess of a company and trip. Save your money. Take the ferry to Isla Mujeres if you really want to go but I can think of 100 better places to visit near Cancun for a day trip.

The Grueze family boat and staff were wonderful. The catamaran ride alone was worth the price. I would have liked a better snorkeling experience but the spot was where everyone stops. It was a fun day.
