Rockstar Boat Party Cancun - Booze Cruise Cancun (18+)
3.2 (6) · from $105
The Rockstarcrawls boat party in Cancun is a 3-hour, adults-only party cruise with an open bar, a guest DJ and a champagne shower, priced at $105 per person on GetYourGuide. You must be 18 or older, and the boat leaves from the Caribbean Carnival Pier in the hotel zone.
The detail that changes the decision is the cash. The listing counts a $10 marina and ecological conservation tax among the inclusions, but a separate note says it is not included and must be paid in cash on arrival. Add it to the $105 and bring dollars.

What is the Rockstarcrawls boat party in Cancun and what do you get?
You get three hours on a party boat with an all-you-can-drink bar, a guest DJ, party hosts, sandwich snacks, photos of the day and a champagne shower at the end. The Rockstarcrawls boat party cruise plays Latin music, reggaeton and top 40, according to the listing.
- Open bar: house rum, tequila and vodka, beer, soft drinks, water and juice.
- Snacks: sandwiches.
- Music: a guest DJ and party hosts.
- Finale: a champagne shower; premium bottles are a paid extra and must be ordered before the event.
- Transport: the listing says transportation to the marina is included but does not say from where.
The water part is conditional. The listing says swimming and the inflatables run only on day parties, so a night departure is a deck party without a swim. Ask which type your date is before you pack a swimsuit under your clothes.
Where does the Rockstarcrawls party boat leave from?
The boat leaves from the Caribbean Carnival Pier, which the listing places right next to the Playa Tortugas ferry terminal. Pier on Google Maps and the ferry terminal on Google Maps.
Arrive early. The listing says the crew leaves without latecomers and that nobody who misses the boat gets money back. It does not give a check-in time, so ask Rockstarcrawls how long before departure you should be on the pier.
How long is it and when does it sail?
The cruise lasts 3 hours, and the listing publishes no fixed timetable. You see the available start times in the booking calendar for your date.
The listing mentions day parties and says water activities happen only then.
That implies some departures are in daylight, but there is no day or night schedule.
Sunset falls at 6:24 PM in October and 6:09 PM in December, and at 7:31 PM to 7:33 PM in June and July (sunrise-sunset.org API, UTC-5 all year), so a 3-hour trip that starts after 3:30 PM in winter ends in the dark.
What is the route?
There is no route. The listing sells the party, not a sightseeing loop, and its itinerary section is empty. The boat leaves the pier, spends the time on the water and returns.
Punta Cancún, about 3 km east of the pier, is one of three zones of a federal marine park created in 1996: 8,673 hectares in total, with 3,301 ha at Punta Cancún (CONANP decree). The listing does not say where the boat anchors for the swim, so I would not assume a particular spot.
What does it cost, and what is extra?
The base price is $105, and the real cost is closer to $115 plus tips and any premium bottles. Here is how the listing's lines add up.
| Item | Amount | Paid when |
|---|---|---|
| Ticket on GetYourGuide | $105 | At booking (pay later possible) |
| Marina and ecological conservation tax | $10 in cash | On arrival at the pier |
| Tips for the staff | Your choice | Not included |
| Premium bottle menu, champagne bottles | Extra, price not stated | Pre-order before the event |
| Total before tips and bottles | $115 | ≈ 2,114 MXN at 18.38 |
At $35 per hour, the cruise costs about 49% more per hour than the median shared tour in my data ($23.50), although the median is dragged down by all-day catamaran trips. Against the other party boat of the city it is level, because the other Rockstarcrawls listing also costs $105 for 3 hours.

What is on board and what is included?
The included list is drinks, snacks, music, hosts and photos; the not-included list is tips, premium bottles and the cash tax. The listing mixes the two, so I sorted it out line by line.
| Item | Status |
|---|---|
| Open bar (house spirits, beer, soft drinks, juice) | Included |
| Sandwich snacks | Included |
| Guest DJ and party hosts | Included |
| Champagne shower and photos of the day | Included |
| Swimming and inflatables | Day parties only |
| Transport to the marina | Included (starting point not stated) |
| $10 marina and conservation tax | Not included - cash on arrival |
| Tips for staff | Not included |
| Premium bottle menu | Extra, pre-order |
The listing does not mention a toilet, shade or seating plan. For a 3-hour open-bar cruise, ask Rockstarcrawls about toilets before you book.
How does it compare with other Cancun boats?
This is the pure party option. The others on my list trade the DJ for a longer day or a meal.
| Product | Price | Duration | Format |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rockstarcrawls boat party (this page) | $105 per person | 3 hours | Adults-only party boat |
| Rockstarcrawls hip hop sessions party boat | $105 per person | 3 hours | Party boat, same operator |
| Isla Mujeres catamaran with open bar | $56 per person | 8 - 10 hours | Shared catamaran, includes lunch |
| Isla Mujeres catamaran with open bar and snorkeling | $35 per person | 8 - 10 hours | Shared catamaran |
If you want a party and a beach in one day, the catamarans are cheaper per hour and include a stop at Isla Mujeres, but they take most of the day. Browse them in my Cancun catamaran guide.
Is the Rockstarcrawls boat party in Cancun worth it against other party boats?
It is worth it if you want three hours of music and drinks, you are in a group, and you can handle a mixed crowd. It is a weaker buy if you want a long swim, because water time is promised only on day parties.
My pick for a stag or hen group of 8 or more who want an easy night: this boat, booked for a day departure, with a taxi organised in advance. My pick for a couple: a sunset sail from my Cancun sunset cruise guide.
29.3 million passengers used Cancun International Airport in 2025, down 3.5% from 2024, so party boats still sell out in peak weeks.
When is the best time to go?
The best months are February to April, with average highs of 80 to 85°F and 7 to 10 rain days a month. September and October have 22.8 and 21.5 rain days and fall in the Atlantic hurricane season.
| Month | Avg high | Rain days | Sea temp | Sunset |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jan | 79°F | 13.2 | 79°F | 6:27 PM |
| Feb | 80°F | 10.0 | 80°F | 6:46 PM |
| Mar | 83°F | 9.2 | 81°F | 6:57 PM |

The US National Hurricane Center states that the Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30 and peaks on September 10 (NOAA National Hurricane Center).
Fly in through Cancun International Airport and note that the listing does not offer an airport transfer. Mexico's Revolution Day falls on 16 November and Christmas Day on 25 December in 2026 (Nager.Date API). I'd book these weekends early, because party boats are group products. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before.

What do passengers say?
There are 6 reviews, and the sample is split between old praise and one sharp complaint. Five of the six are 5-star, one is 2-star. That averages 4.5, yet the listing shows 3.2/5, a gap I cannot explain from the visible data.
- Age of reviews - four of the six date from 2018 or 2019; the latest are from May 2024 and April 2025.
- Praise - a good party and a guide described as the best.
- The 2-star review - the trip had been modified, the group boarded another boat, the crowd was cold toward them and someone tossed a bottle overboard after a chat about pollution; they did not swim.
- Value - the listing's value-for-money sub-score is 5.0/5.
The boat swap in the 2-star review matches the listing's note that the boat type can vary. Ask about it if you booked for a specific vessel.
Who should skip it?
Skip it if you are under 18, want quiet, or hope for a long swim and snorkeling. Look at the full list of Cancun boat tours for calmer options.
- Under 18: not allowed, with no exceptions in the listing.
- Anyone without ID: a passport or ID card is required.
- Seasick travellers: a party boat in open water offers no quiet deck; the listing is silent on conditions.
- Anyone who wants a late dinner plan: ask about departure time first.
