Trekzy Catamaran Open Bar Tour to Isla Mujeres: Snorkeling and Lunch, from $56
Quick answer
The Trekzy catamaran open bar tour sails from Cancun to Isla Mujeres for 8 to 10 hours from $56 per person, with the $20 port fee payable on top.
Snorkeling is 30 minutes, lunch depends on the option, boats can carry about 100 people according to one reviewer, and it holds 4.2/5 from 377+ reviews on GetYourGuide.
The Trekzy catamaran open bar tour is a full-day boat trip from Cancun to Isla Mujeres with unlimited domestic drinks, a reef stop for snorkeling, a beach club on Playa Norte and free time in the island's town. Trekzy lists it from $56 per person, which is $21 above the Amigo catamaran that follows the same schedule.
Two details change the decision.
The first is the port fee: the includes list says "port fee of $20" while the know-before-you-go section says it is not included. I trust the second, because the structured exclusions match, so budget $76. The second is crowding, since a reviewer reports roughly 100 passengers on the regular catamaran and an upgrade offer at the dock for a boat of about 30. For other boats see the catamaran tour Cancun page or the home page.

What is the Trekzy catamaran open bar tour and what do you see?
It is a sociable catamaran day that combines a long drink-and-music sail, one snorkel and an afternoon on Isla Mujeres.
- Cancun's coast: 30 minutes of sailing out from the pier.
- The reef stop: 30 minutes to swim and snorkel; reviewers describe it as decent but short and choppy on some days.
- Playa Norte: 105 minutes at a beach club with drinks and lunch. Playa Norte on Google Maps.
- Isla Mujeres town: two hours of free time for the main streets and shops. Isla Mujeres on Google Maps.
The crew runs the music and the party; the host's energy is the feature most reviewers praise.
June 1 to November 30 is the Atlantic hurricane season, so a day boat can be rescheduled for storms for half the year.
Where does the Trekzy catamaran open bar tour leave from?
The listing does not name a pier; it says to look for a Trekzy guide carrying a blue backpack or umbrella.
The itinerary shows 235 drop-off locations, spread over Cancun's hotel zone, downtown and the Riviera Maya, which signals that the pickup option covers many hotels. The base option has no transport, and the listing gives no start time. Ask Trekzy for the pier name and check-in time before you book a taxi.
| From | To | Walk | Link |
|---|---|---|---|
| Your hotel | Pier named in your voucher | Not routed; pier is not stated | Hotel zone marinas |
| Playa Norte | Isla Mujeres town | Free time, 2 hours | Town |
- Screenshot your voucher and the Kukulcan marina area map pin, because the meeting description is a guide in blue.
- Bring passport or ID, swimwear, a change of clothes, a towel and cash.
- Use biodegradable sunscreen, as the listing advises.
- Carry $20 in cash for the port fee, since it is listed as not included.
What is the route, step by step?
Seven steps add up to 390 minutes, the same sequence as the Amigo catamaran.
| Step | Time | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 30 min | Board and sail along the coast |
| 2 | 30 min | Swim and snorkel at the reef |
| 3 | 30 min | Sail on to Isla Mujeres |
| 4 | 105 min | Playa Norte: beer, lunch, break |
| 5 | 15 min | Back aboard |
| 6 | 2 hours | Free time in Isla Mujeres |
| 7 | 1 hour | Sail back |
A Brazilian reviewer says the open bar ran for about 1 hour 30 minutes, which tells you the bar is not open for the whole 6.5 hours. Ask Trekzy how long drinks are served.
How long does it take and when does it sail?
Expect most of a day: 6.5 hours of itinerary inside an 8 to 10 hour window, with start times visible only after you choose a date.

Quintana Roo stays on UTC-5 all year, so the sun times are valid without a daylight-saving adjustment.

What is included and what costs extra?
The base price covers the sail, gear, drinks and insurance; lunch and hotel transport depend on the option, and the port fee is extra.
| Item | Status | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Unlimited domestic open bar | Included | One reviewer says it ran about 1.5 hours |
| Snorkeling gear | Included | Reviewers describe 30 minutes in the water |
| Travel insurance | Included | Terms are not stated |
| Buffet lunch | Depends on option | Absent from the entry-level option |
| Hotel pickup and drop-off | Depends on option | Check at booking |
| Port fee, $20 | Not included | The includes list contradicts itself; I trust the exclusion |
| Tips | Extra | Optional |
| Snorkel age and health | 10+, good condition | Pregnant women may not snorkel |
| Wheelchair users | Not suitable | Per the listing |
Foreign visitors to Quintana Roo also owe a state visitor tax, separate from this ticket; check the amount on the official Visitax site.
How does it compare with other Cancun catamaran tours?
Trekzy costs $21 more than Amigo Tours LATAM for what looks like the same schedule, so the extra has to buy something specific.
| Tour | Price | Length | Rating | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trekzy catamaran open bar | $56 | 8-10 h | 4.2 (377) | Port fee extra |
| Amigo Latam open bar catamaran | $35 | 8-10 h | 4.2 (3,335) | Port fee extra |
| Amigo catamaran ride with buffet | $68 | 8 h | 3.7 (13) | Few reviews |
| Rockstarcrawls hip hop boat | $105 | 3 h | 4.6 (319) | Evening party, 18+ |
The listing does not say what $56 buys that $35 does not, and the two route tables are identical. If the $56 price includes lunch, as the title suggests, the gap shrinks, but the listing says the entry-level option has no buffet. Ask Trekzy which option the starting price covers.
Is the Trekzy catamaran open bar day worth it versus a cheaper catamaran?
Only if the option you pick includes lunch or a smaller boat; otherwise the cheaper Amigo day trip gives the same route for less.
Per hour all-in you pay about $8.4 against the city median of $27.2, so the day is cheap for what it is. The sub-scores read Guide 4.4, Transportation 4.3 and Value for money 4.0, which matches what reviewers hint: a fun crew and a so-so snorkel.
My pick for people who want fewer passengers is the upgrade to the smaller boat that a reviewer was offered at the dock. For the lowest price, the Amigo Latam open bar catamaran wins.
When is the best time to go?
Choose November to April, when rain days run 7 to 15 a month instead of 14 to 22.
Open-Meteo's archive shows September as the wettest month at 22.5 rain days, and the Atlantic hurricane season runs through 30 November. A reviewer mentions choppy water on the snorkel stop, so a calmer month improves the one thing reviewers criticise. The forecast wave height was 0.98 m on 17 October, a single-day reading.
Sea surface temperature was 29.4 °C on 17 October, so the water is never the problem.

What do passengers say about the Trekzy catamaran open bar tour?
Reviewers praise the crew, the drinks and the island, and the common complaint is that the snorkel is short.
The ten reviews I could read are all five-star and sorted by "Recommended", so they lean positive, though one of them adds cautions. Themes: energetic hosts, good music, a well-organised day, a crowded boat. One reviewer warns about a jewellery shop stop with tequila shots after landing and advises against buying there; the listing does not mention it. GetYourGuide's AI summary of 91 recent reviews says the snorkel feels rushed. I count patterns and do not quote reviewers.
Who should skip the Trekzy catamaran open bar tour?
Skip it if you want a long snorkel, a small boat, a quiet day or you use a wheelchair.
- Serious snorkelers: try the Extreme Adventure Puerto Morelos snorkel.
- Crowd-averse travellers: the regular boat is large; budget for the upgrade.
- Wheelchair users: the listing marks the trip as unsuitable.
- Anyone pregnant or under 10: they cannot take part in the snorkel stop.
The whole list of options is on the Cancun boat tours hub.
