The Amigo Tours Puerto Morelos catamaran cruise is a shared 8- to 10-hour day to Isla Mujeres with a reef snorkel, an open bar and a beach club, sold from $35 per person on GetYourGuide for guests staying along the Puerto Morelos and Riviera Cancun coast. Lunch and hotel pickup are paid upgrades.

The detail that changes the decision is the geography. The title says Puerto Morelos, but the meeting point is Marina Las Perlas in the Cancun hotel zone, about 35 km in a straight line from Puerto Morelos town. Unless you book the pickup option, you reach the boat on your own.

This page covers one product from my Isla Mujeres boat tours comparison. Amigo Tours sells the same boat and day for Costa Mujeres guests too; see the Costa Mujeres version if you stay north of Cancun. For the whole trip, start at the Harbour Advisor home page.

Which Amigo Tours listing should you book?

Book the Puerto Morelos listing if your hotel is on its pickup list, and the Costa Mujeres listing if your hotel is on that one; the boat, itinerary and marina are the same. Choosing the wrong listing can leave you without a transfer.

The two listings share an itinerary almost word for word, so the practical difference is the hotel list. If your hotel appears on neither, skip the pickup and meet at the marina.

What is the Amigo Tours Puerto Morelos catamaran cruise to Isla Mujeres?

It is a group catamaran trip from the Cancun coast to Isla Mujeres in which you snorkel at a reef, spend a long block at a Playa Norte beach club and then walk the town. Amigo Tours LATAM runs it, with an open bar on board from the start.

Most of the day is on land. The itinerary gives 105 minutes at the beach club and two hours in the town, against 30 minutes of snorkeling, so the product is a beach day with a boat attached.

• Boat: a big catamaran with plenty of seating, according to one reviewer.
• Bar: national drinks; one reviewer found the mixed drinks weak and the beer good.
• Beach club: access is part of every option; lunch is not.

I have not been on board, so I rely on the listing and five reviews.

Does the catamaran really sail from Puerto Morelos?

No. The title and one highlight say Puerto Morelos, but the meeting point is Marina Las Perlas on Boulevard Kukulcan in the Cancun hotel zone. Marina Las Perlas on Google Maps is about 12 km in a straight line from the Isla Mujeres ferry terminal, while Puerto Morelos on Google Maps is about 35 km away.

That gap explains the pickup option. Guests in the Riviera Cancun resorts are collected and driven to the marina, and the listing does not give the drive time, so ask Amigo Tours for the pickup window when you book.

• Pickup option - the all-inclusive version covers 23 locations.
• Meet at the marina - for the cheaper options, be there at least 15 minutes before the start.
• Unusual pickup point - the list also includes a Chedraui supermarket, so non-hotel guests may be able to join from there; confirm with the operator.

Which hotels are on the pickup list?

The all-inclusive option lists 23 locations, including Excellence Riviera Cancun, Secrets Riviera Cancun, Dreams Riviera Cancun, Royalton Riviera Cancun, Azul Beach Resort, Haven Riviera Cancun, Crown Paradise Club and Hacienda Morelos. Marina Las Perlas itself is on the list.

The list is long, and the listing admits the itinerary may change, so use it as a pre-booking check rather than a promise. Two practical steps help:

1. Find your hotel in the drop-off list on the booking page.
2. If it is missing, message the operator before you pay for the pickup option.
3. Ask for the pickup time at the same moment; the listing does not state it.

What does the beach club stop involve?

The itinerary gives 105 minutes at Playa Norte for a break, beer, lunch and swimming, which is the longest single block of the day. The beach club is included in every option, and lunch is included only in the upgraded and all-inclusive ones.

One reviewer describes the island visit first and a beach club after, so the order may vary. Playa Norte is Playa Norte on Google Maps; from the ferry terminal it is 12 minutes on foot and the main square is 3 minutes (Walk from the ferry terminal to Playa Norte; Walk from the ferry terminal to the main square; OSRM foot routing, fetched 2026-10-17).

What is the timeline of the day?

The activities in the itinerary total 6 hours 30 minutes; the rest of the 8 to 10 hours is pickup, check-in and the drive.

Return transfers add time on top: with 23 drop-off locations, expect a late finish if your hotel is among the last.

What does the Amigo Tours Puerto Morelos cruise cost in total?

Budget at least $55 per adult: the $35 ticket plus the $20 port fee, which the listing excludes on every option. Lunch and pickup are paid upgrades priced in the booking calendar.

Part of the water around the island is the Costa Occidental de Isla Mujeres national park, where CONANP lists a 125 MXN entry fee per person per day (CONANP, Costa Occidental de Isla Mujeres). The listing does not say whether the $20 port fee covers it, so ask.

What are the snorkeling limits?

You must be 10 or older and in good physical condition to snorkel, and pregnant women and people over 60 are excluded from the snorkel part of the day. Everyone else on the boat can stay aboard.

• Under 10 - no snorkeling.
• Over 60 or pregnant - no snorkeling.
• Rough water - one reviewer skipped snorkeling because the sea looked too rough.

Bring ID or a passport, swimwear, a change of clothes, a towel, biodegradable sunscreen and cash.

Is the Puerto Morelos catamaran cruise worth it compared with taking the ferry?

It is worth it when you want the boat, the bar and the beach in one price; the ferry is cheaper and gives you the island on your own terms. A boat day makes sense mostly if you are a long way from the ferry docks.

• Pick the catamaran if you are at a Riviera Cancun resort, want music and drinks, and prefer a fixed plan.
• Pick the ferry if you want hours in town; check the current fare on the operator's own site, Ultramar, whose Isla Mujeres office is Ultramar ferry office on Google Maps.
• Pick a snorkel trip if the reef matters; see the snorkeling guide.

The ferry fare is not on a static page, so I do not quote one. What is clear is that the catamaran's $55 includes a bar and a beach club, which a ferry ticket does not.

How does the Amigo Tours Puerto Morelos cruise compare with other boats?

It is the second-cheapest day trip in my data and has few reviews, so the saving is real but the evidence is thin. Here is the set.

The Dancer Cruise has 170 reviews at 4.8/5 and a live DJ; it costs $64 more than the cheapest Amigo ticket with the port fee. My pick for a first visit with a budget is the Amigo day, and for a party crowd it is the Dancer Cruise.

When is the best time to go?

March to May are the driest months, and October is the wettest, with a typical 20 days of at least 1 mm of rain. Rough water is the other risk: one March reviewer found it too rough to snorkel, and a different March reviewer on the twin listing lost the snorkel to wind.

1 Jun - 30 Nov is the Atlantic hurricane season, which covers every wet month in the table above.

The listing offers free cancellation up to 24 hours ahead, so check the forecast the day before. Sunset runs from 18:08 in December to 19:33 in July (sunrise-sunset.org API, UTC-5 all year). The boat is back well before that. The next public holiday is Revolution Day on 2026-11-16.

What do passengers say about the Amigo Tours Puerto Morelos cruise?

Passengers rate it 4.4/5 across five GetYourGuide reviews: three 5-star, one 4-star and one 3-star. The written reviews mix praise for the boat with complaints about crowds.

• Boat and crew - two reviewers call the boat big, clean and the crew fun.
• Crowds - two reviewers call it busy or touristy.
• Snorkel - one reviewer says it was too short; another skipped it because of rough water.
• Drinks and food - drinks were weak but beer was fine; the buffet beat low expectations; lunch came late for one reviewer.
• Transfer - the hotel transfer was easy for a group of six.

The sample is small, so I would treat the crowd comment as the main signal: this is a social, full boat.

Who should skip the Amigo Tours Puerto Morelos cruise?

Skip it if you use a wheelchair, want a quiet outing or want reef time measured in hours. The listing names wheelchair users as not suitable.

• Wheelchair users - not suitable.
• Quiet-day seekers - busy boat, music, open bar.
• Serious snorkelers - about 30 minutes in the water.
• Guests outside the pickup list - you must reach the marina yourself.
