Private Catamaran Sail: Snorkel the Mesoamerican Reef

Board a sleek private catamaran and glide to pristine coral gardens on the second-largest barrier reef on Earth. Drift above eagle rays, sea turtles, and kaleidoscopic reef fish in waters so clear the seabed looks close enough to touch — a true natural wonder.

What to expect

You'll set sail within minutes of departure, cocktail in hand, as the coastline shrinks behind you. At the reef mooring your certified divemaster briefs you personally before you slip into gin-clear water teeming with life. After snorkelling, a gourmet ceviche and open bar await on deck for the sun-drenched sail back to port.
