Isla Mujeres private tours by yacht and catamaran
Isla Mujeres private tours solve a practical island question: does your group want to leave from Isla Mujeres itself, spend a full day on a yacht from Cancún, or combine a private catamaran with a beach club and time in the island centre? These are different programmes, with capacities of up to 6, 15 and 25 people. The useful comparison is the whole boat day rather than capacity alone.
A group already on the island can take the four-hour yacht without first arranging a mainland meeting. Visitors based in Cancún have an eight-hour yacht departure there. The seven-hour catamaran includes hotel-to-marina transport and its return, making the land connection part of that particular package. Our arrival guide explains separate road and ferry travel for the rest of your stay.
Private boats and catamaran
Our take: Choose the island yacht for a group of up to six, the Cancún yacht for up to 15, or the catamaran with hotel transfer for up to 25.

Take the island yacht for four hours with a snorkeling stop, the Cancún yacht for an eight-hour boat day, or the catamaran for transfers, buffet and beach-club time.
Four-hour private yacht starting on Isla Mujeres
The island yacht departs from Avenida Rueda Medina 1667 and accommodates up to 6 people for four hours. Its programme includes a snorkeling stop, snorkeling gear, a professional guide and a floating mat. Bottled water and snacks are included, with an open bar restricted to guests aged 18 and over. This is the compact choice for an island-based group wanting a private water activity within part of the day.
The snorkeling stop is the named water activity; the programme does not sell a museum circuit or a Contoy landing. Choose this boat for the combination of island departure, snorkeling and time aboard with your own group. For a visit centred on submerged sculptures or a dedicated reef-diving itinerary, the separate snorkeling and diving comparison gives the relevant choices.
Eight-hour yacht from Cancún for up to 15 people
The larger yacht starts at Residencial Nautilus in Cancún's hotel zone and allows up to 15 people over eight hours. Crew and fuel are included, together with snorkeling equipment, a floating mat, safety life jackets and towels. The boat has two cabins, two bathrooms and air conditioning. Its onboard facilities make this a distinct full-day option rather than a longer version of the smaller island departure.
Complimentary drinks comprise 24 bottles each of water, soft drinks and beer. Glasses, plates and cutlery are included. The dock tax is extra at 100 MXN per person. Keep that local charge separate from the USD boat price when budgeting. This yacht suits a group whose starting shore is Cancún and whose priority is a full private boat day with crew and equipment.
Seven-hour private catamaran with hotel transport
The private catamaran accommodates up to 25 people and lasts seven hours. Its starting arrangement is the confirmed hotel, with transport between hotel and marina included in both directions. The day combines the catamaran journey to Isla Mujeres, a beach club, buffet lunch and one hour of free time in the island centre. Bilingual guides accompany the programme.
Drinks are included aboard and at the beach club. Flying the spinnaker is conditional on suitable weather. The dock fee is an extra 20 USD per person, and golf cart rental is extra. This option fits a larger group wanting its private sailing day to include a meal, an organised land connection and time ashore. The free hour in the centre is independent exploration rather than a guided island circuit.
Group prices and actual cost shares
Price examples use the November 2026 starting prices: 657 USD per group of up to 6 for the island yacht, 1,493 USD per group of up to 15 for the Cancún yacht, and 2,250 USD per group of up to 25 for the catamaran. These are group boat prices. The calculations illustrate how friends might divide them; they are not separately bookable individual fares.
On the island yacht, 657 USD divided among 3 guests is 219 USD each; with 6 guests it is 109.50 USD each. On the Cancún yacht, 1,493 USD shared by 10 guests is 149.30 USD each. The additional dock tax remains 100 MXN for each guest, so keep it as a separate currency item rather than folding it into an invented USD total.
For the catamaran, 2,250 USD divided by 15 guests gives a base share of 150 USD each. At the full 25 guests, the base share is 90 USD each. Adding its stated 20 USD dock fee makes those examples 170 USD and 110 USD per person respectively. These calculations assume the quoted starting group price and the stated actual occupancy, with no discount assumed.
Private boat or shared excursion?
The shared island snorkeling outing has a starting price of 63 USD per person and includes equipment, reserve admission and food. For 3 people, that individual ticket is a lower cash commitment per guest than splitting the smaller private yacht at 219 USD each. The activities differ, so the comparison helps choose the kind of day as well as the budget.
A shared excursion makes sense for a small party mainly interested in joining a water activity. Private booking becomes more attractive when the group values an exclusive boat and can share the group price across more guests. For a sailing day with other passengers, see shared catamaran trips. Choose by departure shore, included programme and actual group size before comparing the resulting price shares.
