Family Outings

I had a wonderful experience during our yacht excursion in Cozumel, Mexico! The birthday celebration was truly unforgettable, thanks to the incredible crew, delectable food, and captivating ambience. The warmth and hospitality extended by Victor, Ali, and the entire team went above and beyond, ensuring that our family had an amazing time. Ali’s thoughtful care during snorkeling, where she looked after my daughter as if she were her own, added an extra layer of enjoyment to the underwater adventure. Victor’s expertise as a swimmer and guide made exploring the coral reef an awe-inspiring experience. The delectable food, the camaraderie shared among our family, and the overall hospitality left an indelible mark on us. Each member of our family had a fantastic time and had nothing but praise for the trip. We are eager to recommend this exceptional experience to our friends and family planning to visit Cozumel. We look forward to returning to create more cherished memories on board in the future. Thank you for making my birthday celebration so special!

We booked with Tulum Yachting for a group of 40 people with ages ranging from 2 to 75, who all had an amazing time. The crew was attentive, super fun and friendly and made sure that people were enjoying themselves at all times. The snorkeling gear was newer and was sanitized properly before we used it. Floating aids were also available. We saw lots of tropical fish, sting rays and turtles. Lunch was super tasty and the drinks were good as well. I would absolutely recommend Tulum Yachting to anyone interested in a catamaran tour. Another plus - the photographer took some amazing pictures including underwater pictures that were available for purchase after the tour.

We recently rented a luxury catamaran out of Puerto Aventuras near Playa Del Carmen, and the experience exceeded every expectation we had. One thing that immediately stood out was that the yacht looked exactly like the photos online — which is rare these days. The boat was immaculate, luxurious, and clearly very well maintained. What really blew us away was the crew. We were greeted by four crew members including the captain, stewardess, bartender, and chef, all waiting for us the moment we stepped onboard with drinks in hand and a beautiful fresh fruit plate ready to go. From the very beginning, the level of service was absolutely incredible. The captain walked us through several options for the day, including visiting nearby reefs and relaxing at a sandbar. Based on the weather, we decided to spend some time snorkeling around the reef before heading to the sandbar for the rest of the afternoon — and it turned out to be the perfect itinerary. Every single detail throughout the day was top-tier. I honestly have never been catered to like that in my life. The crew anticipated everything we needed before we even had to ask. My entire group agreed this was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience and one we’ll never forget. If you’re considering booking a yacht charter in the Riviera Maya area, I would not hesitate for a second to use this company again. They are professional, attentive, and genuinely committed to providing an unforgettable luxury experience.

I was having a REALLY hard time finding the right yacht for our group birthday trip to Tulum/Playa. Spent hours until I came across playa yachting and I'm so happy I did! Everything turned out FANTASTIC. Felipe and Angelo helped through the booking and Angelo stayed in contact to answer all my questions leading up to our excursion. The yacht was exactly as described in the photos. The crew on our 51ft Sea Ray was phenomenal. Catered to our every need from bringing us drinks on the deck to putting on our flippers 😂 We went snorkeling on the reef and saw a ton of fish and stingray, had an amazing lunch prepared while we were in the water, and then continued to Party Cove which was beautiful and so much fun to celebrate our birthdays. Boats were all lined up together while we were all snorkeling in the cove, paddleboarding, some playing music on the boat and taking tequila shots, and just having the BEST time. I do regret not upgrading our bar to the premium liquors. I will also say, we did a half day and are so glad we booked 5 hours instead of 4. We did not want to get off that boat. Thanks for delivering such an amazing and memorable experience!

My family (wife, 9 and 11-year-old kids) and I chartered a 42-foot catamaran, and it was truly one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. The boat itself was beautiful—spacious, clean, and incredibly comfortable. The crew made the trip unforgettable. Huge shoutout to Camila, who was warm, attentive, and took such great care of us. And Socrates—what a gem! Fantastic attitude, amazing with the kids, super knowledgeable, and a top-notch snorkel guide. We snorkeled at In Ha Reef and it was spectacular—probably one of the best I’ve ever done. We saw tons of colorful fish and even had a giant stingray swim right beneath us! They kept us well-fed the entire time, and on the way back to the marina, we did some trolling—and my son caught a mahi-mahi! The crew filleted it right there and served us fresh sashimi on the boat. Absolutely unreal. This was hands down the best catamaran charter I’ve ever taken. Highly, highly recommend

What a beautiful time we had!! The boat and staff go above and beyond to make sure we were all happy. Celebrated my birthday in January 2022 on the boat and what a blast. They made sushi with the fish we caught, we swam with stingray, turtles and some of most beautiful fish I’ve ever seen. I’d give this team a ten on all points!! Thank you Armondo, Juan, Davey and Gabriel for making our day on the water so special.

We rented a boat for a 3-hour sunset trip for a group of 14, and it ended up being one of the absolute highlights of our entire trip. Everyone had such an amazing time, we were genuinely so happy and impressed with the whole experience. The service was fantastic, the food was delicious, and the drinks were great. The crew deserves a huge shoutout, they were incredibly friendly, attentive, and just super fun to be around. They really made the experience special. We got to watch a beautiful sunset, swim in the sea, use paddleboards, and even go snorkeling. On top of that, we were able to do karaoke! The boat itself was excellent, and everything was very well organized from the start. The booking process was clear and straightforward, with no hidden costs, which we really appreciated. Overall, we had an unforgettable time and would absolutely do it again. Highly recommend!

I planned a day trip for a bachelorette party and the catamaran was perfect for our group of girls! We were able to hangout in the back and layout in the front of the boat as we cruised the ocean. The crew was super helpful and took the upmost best care of us. We easily connected our phones to the Bluetooth and jammed out. We stopped in party cove to explore, dance, drink, and swim. The boat has a lily pad float to lay on and a paddle board. (There’s also snorkeling gear) The crew not only served us drinks but made us a delicious lunch! I’m so thankful I found them and the day was just perfect. I’d do it over again and again and highly recommend.

The team at Playa Yachting is A+++. We rented the 80ft yacht to take our wedding party out on the day before our wedding and it was the PERFECT outing! All of the communication leading up to the event was amazing and upon arrival, the PY crew welcomed us in a very organized fashion. We had the best time on board including 5 star service from the crew! The lunch they provided was delicious, the drinks were flowing and the cove we went to to swim / snorkel at was so lovely. I work in entertainment for A-list celebs and would book any of my clients with Playa Yachting in the future! Cannot recommend them enough!
