The Amigo Latam open bar catamaran is a full-day sail from Cancun's hotel zone to Isla Mujeres with a 30-minute reef snorkel, a national open bar, music and a beach club on Playa Norte. Amigo Tours LATAM offers three versions, and the $35 headline is the cheapest: open bar and snorkeling, no lunch, no transport.

Two details change the decision.

The first is the port fee. Every option lists a $20 fee as an exclusion, so the first real price is about $55, or roughly MXN 1,011 at today's rate. The second is the timing: the itinerary steps sum to 6.5 hours, while the headline says 8 to 10, so the rest is check-in, pickup and waiting. See the catamaran tour Cancun page for the other boats, or return to the home page.

What is the Amigo Latam open bar catamaran and what do you see?

It is a party-leaning catamaran day: music and drinks on the way out, a short reef snorkel, a beach club at Playa Norte and free time in town.

• Cancun coastline: the first 30 minutes are sailing from the marina along the coast.
• Reef snorkel: 30 minutes at one reef, with gear supplied; one passenger advises using the flippers.
• Playa Norte beach club: 105 minutes for drinks and, in the higher options, a buffet lunch. Playa Norte on Google Maps.
• Isla Mujeres town: 2 hours of free time to walk the streets and shop. Isla Mujeres on Google Maps.

The crew and the music set the mood. This is a social boat, not a quiet sightseeing trip.

June 1 to November 30 is the Atlantic hurricane season, the stretch when a day catamaran is most likely to be moved or cancelled.

Where does the Amigo Latam open bar catamaran leave from?

The listing names Marina Las Perlas, with check-in at least 15 minutes before departure.

The third option adds hotel pickup, and the itinerary lists 80 drop-off locations from Cancun down to Tulum, including Marina Las Perlas itself. The listing does not give a street address or a departure time, and the base option includes no transport. I would ask Amigo Tours LATAM for the exact boarding time before booking a taxi.

1. Choose your option and check whether your hotel is on the pickup list.
2. Pack passport or ID, swimwear, a change of clothes, a towel and cash.
3. Take biodegradable sunscreen, as the listing asks.
4. Keep $20 in cash for the port fee, which reviewers say is collected at the dock.

What is the route, step by step?

Seven timed stops add up to 390 minutes, from the first sail to the return leg.

The listing says 8 to 10 hours. The steps sum to 6.5, and the gap covers check-in, pickup and drop-off, so keep the evening free.

How long does it take and when does it sail?

Treat it as a full day: about 6.5 hours of itinerary inside a window of 8 to 10, with the start time shown only after you pick a date.

The sun times below show how much daylight the day has to work with; the listing does not say which slots exist.

Quintana Roo stays on UTC-5 year-round, so the clocks never shift. Sunrise and sunset come from the sunrise-sunset.org API for the 15th of each month.

What is included and what costs extra?

The $35 option covers the sail, snorkeling and the open bar, and the $20 port fee is the surprise that most reviews mention.

The listing does not state the price of each option, only the $35 starting figure. Snorkeling is for ages 10 and over in good physical condition; pregnant women and people over 60 cannot take part in that stop. Wheelchair users are listed as not suitable.

Foreign visitors to Quintana Roo also owe a state visitor tax, separate from this ticket, which you can check on the official Visitax site.

How does it compare with other Cancun catamaran tours?

Amigo Tours LATAM undercuts the Trekzy catamaran by $21 and has nine times as many reviews, but both exclude the port fee.

The Amigo ride with a buffet is a sister product with only 13 reviews; read its page before choosing it. The two day catamarans share a 10-year snorkel minimum.

Is the Amigo Latam open bar day worth it versus the ferry or a snorkel trip?

Yes if you want a social day with drinks and music, and no if you want a long, uncrowded snorkel.

A reviewer from the United States compares it with the public ferry and says the ferry costs about the same but includes no lunch, drinks or snorkeling. That is one traveller's view, not a fare comparison, so check the Ultramar ferry website for current prices. At about $6 per hour all-in, the catamaran is also the cheapest boat day I track.

The weaker marks sit in Value for money, 4.0/5, against a Guide score of 4.4/5 and Transportation 4.3/5. My pick for first-time visitors on a budget is this boat. For a serious reef, I would choose the Puerto Morelos snorkel tour.

When is the best time to go?

Pick November to April for fewer rain days; September has the most rain and sits in peak hurricane season.

Open-Meteo's archive shows 7 to 15 rain days per month from November to April, against 14 to 22 from May to October. The listing offers free cancellation up to 24 hours before for a full refund; it does not describe what happens if the operator cancels on the day, so ask.

Sea surface temperature was 29.4 °C on 17 October, so the snorkel stop is comfortable year-round. Forecast waves were 0.98 m on 17 October.

What do passengers say about the Amigo Latam open bar catamaran?

Reviewers praise the crew and the atmosphere, and the recurring caution is about fees, inclusions and upgrade offers.

The ten reviews I could read are all five-star and sorted by "Recommended", so they lean positive. Themes: funny, interactive guides, a good buffet, watered-down but unlimited drinks, and a $20 dock fee that surprised one traveller. GetYourGuide's AI summary of 300 recent reviews says clearer information on dock fees, inclusions and upgrades would help. A traveller from Kenya mentions that you are offered a smaller-group upgrade after check-in. I count patterns and do not quote reviewers.

Who should skip the Amigo Latam open bar catamaran?

Skip it if you use a wheelchair, are pregnant, are over 60 and want to snorkel, or want a quiet, uncrowded boat.

• Wheelchair users: the listing marks the tour as unsuitable.
• Quiet-day seekers: the music and open bar set a social tone; try the Go Kayak Cancun sunset.
• Serious snorkelers: the reef stop is 30 minutes.
• Anyone who dislikes upsells: upgrades are offered after check-in.

The whole city list is on the Cancun boat tours hub.
