Our six-hour tour gives you an opportunity to take full advantage of the inviting waters of the Mayan Riviera aboard the region's unrivaled queen of the sea. Our 75-foot catamaran, the Pacific Breeze, will take you to two choice spots in the Mexican Caribbean -- one ideal for snorkeling and the other perfectly suited for a relaxing swim. Brimming with deluxe features, the Pacific Breeze is the ideal complement to our staff's well-established reputation for service and excellence. If you're hosting a wedding, family reunion, corporate event, or other special occasion, a full day of togetherness will create memories to last a lifetime.

The Mexican Caribbean is our home, and we'll treat you to an experience you won't find anywhere else. The Pacific Breeze has been designed to impress. Built for exclusive Mediterranean charters, the Pacific Breeze has been refitted and customized for its new home in the Caribbean. Seating is available on the deck under the Mayan Riviera sun and in a shaded social area. There's also a spacious cockpit where guests are welcome, as well as two bathrooms. With a full day available, we will show you two of the Riviera Maya's aquatic treasures.
"Each and every person could not have said better things about the trip! The crew was amazingly skilled and friendly, the boat was gorgeous, the food was delicious, the snorkeling was beautiful, and they had a few fun and considerate surprises up their sleeve in honor of our wedding!"
--Sarah B.


A premium sound system reaches every corner of our catamaran. We invite our guests to plug in their smartphones or other USB-enabled devices, or play their own CDs. There's even a wide-screen television and DVD player. For a close encounter with the Caribbean, we have sturdy netting to cradle you just a few feet above the water.

Although it's tempting to never leave the Pacific Breeze, the undersea sights of the Riviera Maya are a wonder not to be missed. For your first stop, we've picked a pristine location off Punta Maroma. While the beach at Punta Maroma is famous for its powdery white sands, the turquoise waters offshore offer snorkelers and swimmers a crystal-clear view of one of the most extensive reef formations along the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef. The area is sheltered from strong currents, providing a natural sanctuary to a wide array of tropical marine life and an underwater playground for visitors of all skill levels.

You'll swim at your own pace above the seabed below, with an unhurried view of the coral reef and marine life, under the supervision of your snorkeling guide. A "Fish Identification Card" is available upon request to help you better understand the diversity of the Riviera Maya ecosystem. Whether you are snorkeling in the shallows or exploring deeper areas that extend down to 25 feet, you'll enjoy every minute of your time in the water.
6-Hour Luxury Private Two-Reef Snorkeling Charter


Because safety always comes first at Paradise Catamarans, our English-speaking host will conduct a safety briefing as we set sail and provide snorkeling instruction once we reach the reef. We employ professional snorkeling guides with CPR and first aid certifications. One of our guides is assigned to supervise no more than twelve snorkelers.

Our top-quality equipment complements the professionalism of our guides. You'll appreciate our semi-dry, high-performance snorkels. Unlike the cheaper models commonly provided to tourists, the purge valves in semi-dry snorkels minimize the amount of water entering the breathing tubes. Moreover, all of our equipment is sterilized after each use. (For the sake of the environment, we encourage our guests to use the sterilized, high-performance snorkels we stock. However, new single-use snorkel tubes are also available.)

Our second water activity features swimming in the waters that have made the Caribbean famous -- clear, sparkling, and relaxing. We think it's a place that will please everyone in your group.

Back aboard the Pacific Breeze, our guests are welcome to enjoy complimentary ceviche, guacamole, salsa and totopos (tortilla chips), rum, gin, vodka, whiskey, tequila, popular mixers, beer, wine, soda, juice, and bottled water. As an option, you may request a premium international open bar and/or our flavor-packed fajita spread. The menu features marinated skirt steak, chicken, and grilled vegetables served with warm corn tortillas. Complementing the fajitas are fresh guacamole, Mexican salsa (pico de gallo), and refried beans. Groups of 10 or more guests will be joined by their own personal chef on board.
