   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!

   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.

   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!

   At the end of February 2025, my fiancé and I planned a combined bachelor/bachelorette party to Playa Del Carmen. We booked a catamaran for 9 people with Riviera Elite and can’t explain how great of an experience we had. The boat tour was originally scheduled for a Friday but due to the weather, the marina closed and boats were not allowed out on the water. Immediately, Riviera Elite contacted me and explained the situation and gave me an option to refund my money or reschedule for a future date. I am so grateful we rescheduled! Our experience was one to remember. We met a crew member at the Puerto Adventuras marina for check-in. Shortly after we were taken to the catamaran where we greeted the other 4 crew members. The catamaran was gorgeous and very spacious! Could have fit 20 people if we needed it to. They had Tequila Sunrise drinks and welcome appetizers waiting for us when we arrived. The workers made all of us feel at home and very safe. The crew first did a safety meeting to go over the boat protocols as well as specify which restrooms are for the males and which ones are for the females. Then they explained we had 2 options to choose from for the day. One, to go to the InHa reef and snorkel, but that it would take us 1 hour to get there and 1 hour back, leaving about 2 hours of free time. Or go to a sandbar inlet called La Bocana to party. We really wanted to snorkel, so we chose option A. The ride out to the reef was breathtaking. The weather could not have been more amazing with the water as still as can be. The catamaran was extremely sturdy, not one of us got seasick the entire day. Took about an hour to get to the reef as stated, where we all grabbed snorkel gear provided by the boat. We were able to see all different types of coral, fish and stingrays. Such a cool experience and beautiful at that. Once we finished snorkeling we hopped back on board the catamaran to an amazing assortment of fish and shrimp ceviche plus guacamole and chips. YUM! After we hung out and listened to some music at the reef we started to head back to the marina. On our way back to shore, 2 dolphins began following the boat for a good 10 minutes. It was magical! The entire day went off without a hitch. I highly recommend taking a boat/catamaran tour with Riviera Elite. They were one of the highlights of the trip to Mexico. Absolutely 100% would go on another trip with that crew. They even had a profession photographer on board as one of the crew members documenting the entire day. We ended up purchasing the photos and to our surprise he even had an underwater camera and snapped photos of us and the reefs below. We were mind blown! Please take a trip with Riviera Elite. You will not be disappointed at all! The best experience! And this is coming from folks in California who are used to beautiful beaches.

   Crew were brilliant. We arrived a little earlier rhan the agreed time (6.55 vs 7pm) bur had also left about 5-10 mins earlier so probably evened out. Food was amazing, setvice great. Water visibility was low snorkelling thanks to hurricane Ian (outside staff control). Spots were great though, just weather challenges in the lead up
