Victoria
40' Leopard Luxury Catamaran All-Inclusive Charter in Playa del Carmen.
10/10 recommend this experience. Manuel, Tapia, Cruz, and Pinelo we’re fantastic! They accommodated every request we had. The food was delicious (biggest plate of guacamole I’ve ever seen), the drink/shots were legendary, and they made it so fun for us. Even delivered drinks to us in the water so we didn’t have to get out. If you’re on the fence - do it!

We had an amazing trip out with Fabian and his crewmate, Chris. They were super warm and welcoming and planned a great trip. We sailed up the coast to a large reef where we were the only people in the water and got to experience the great snorkeling. My wife called it one of the best experiences of her life, so you can’t got wrong booking with them!

We chartered with Fabian for a small bachelorette party and had the absolute best time. The boat is classic and beautiful and the staff was incredibly communicative and accommodating. We loved snorkeling and swimming and hanging out on the bow of the boat. 100/10 recommend!

Awesome communication after booking (via WhatsApp). They were extremely generous with our time. We had to make some adjustments because of unexpected storms in the distance and we still had a blast. Awesome crew and great boat experience. Definitely worth it overall!

40' Leopard Luxury Catamaran All-Inclusive Charter in Playa del Carmen.
Would absolutely recommend booking this boat for a large group! We had a group of 18 people for the 3 hour booking. The boat crew was amazing, they provided delicious fruits & fresh guacamole with chips and dished out the alcohol regularly. The boat took us briefly out to open water and then brought us back closer to the beach/shallow waters to hang out. Was hoping we'd have more time in the open water to possibly fish but also it was nice to be in the clear blue water.

40' Leopard Luxury Catamaran All-Inclusive Charter in Playa del Carmen.
Awesome boat and friendly staff! We were staying in Playa Del Carmen and were able to be door to door in under 30 minutes and enjoying drinks and music with the ocean breeze in our hair in short order. The salon and dining areas were great for our group's size (8 people) and we loved the snorkeling, too!
