Private Snorkeling Yacht Cruises in the Riviera Maya

YOUR OWN YACHT. A DAY BUILT AROUND THE REEF.

Reef time, good food and your favorite people.

Make a private snorkeling cruise the highlight of your Riviera Maya stay. Choose an H2OH yacht for your group, meet your captain and crew at Puerto Aventuras Marina, and head out on a daytime InHa Reef itinerary. There is room for the swimmers, the photographers and the friends who prefer to relax aboard.

Looking for a snorkeling boat tour while staying in Playa del Carmen or Tulum? This is a private yacht charter for your group, not individual tickets on a shared tour. Compare the yacht, route and included guests before choosing your date.

Choose a morning or afternoon InHa Reef cruise

Published InHa Reef options are four-hour charters, with 9:00 AM morning and 1:30 PM afternoon departures. Check the selected yacht’s booking page for availability on your date. Four hours is the total charter duration, including the boat journey and time aboard, not four uninterrupted hours in the water.

Regular all-inclusive reef charters include captain and crew, meals, an open bar and snorkeling equipment. The crew explains the activity and confirms the suitable stops for the day’s conditions. Wildlife sightings and underwater visibility vary. Share children’s ages, swimming experience and any boarding needs when planning the trip.

Match the yacht to your group

These yachts have published morning and afternoon InHa Reef charter options. Open a vessel’s page to compare its photographs, layout, current prices and booking links.

Los Tres Piratas — up to 23 guests. Start here when comparing a private outing for a smaller group. The passenger limit is not a minimum booking size.

Dos Piratas — up to 48 guests. Compare its four-hour reef options for a day with friends, family or a celebration group.

Texas — up to 55 guests. Explore the reef itinerary alongside its onboard entertainment and space for your group.

Piratas de Tejas and Pura Vida — up to 80 guests each. Compare their layouts when you want to keep a larger group on one yacht.

Include all adults and children in the passenger count. Maximum capacity is different from the guest allowance included in the charter fare. Review the complete quote for your group or compare the rest of the H2OH fleet.

Private reef cruise or another kind of snorkeling tour?

An InHa Reef yacht charter: your private boat journey begins at Puerto Aventuras Marina, with the reef activity as part of the selected daytime itinerary.

A cenote, lagoon or Akumal Bay visit: these are different outings with their own access and arrangements. Your H2OH charter does not include those visits simply because your hotel is in Tulum or Akumal. Staying in Puerto Morelos also does not make its reef part of an InHa itinerary.

A party-cove or evening charter: choose these for their own routes and atmosphere. A three-hour Xpu-Ha outing or two-hour twilight cruise is not a substitute for the four-hour reef itinerary when snorkeling is your priority.

Make it a family day or a celebration

The Family Charter option includes meals and non-alcoholic drinks without an open bar. For the bride’s group, explore bachelorette cruise add-ons. Karaoke at Sea is available on multiple yachts when you want music as well as reef time. Agree on the selected activities and schedule with the team.

Does everyone have to snorkel?

No. Members of your group can stay aboard. Compare seating, shade, bathrooms and water access on the specific yacht so the day works for your whole party. Tell the team in advance about any assistance needed for boarding or taking part.

What should we compare in the price?

Compare the same duration, date, passenger count and package. Check the included guests, equipment, meal and drink options, additional passengers, marina fees, transportation and selected extras. Custom Series differs from the regular all-inclusive package. Use the vessel’s booking link for current charter options and review the booking policies before reserving.

Getting to your yacht

H2OH serves guests staying in Tulum, Akumal, Puerto Aventuras, Playa del Carmen, Puerto Morelos and the Riviera Maya. Everyone boards at Puerto Aventuras Marina. Share your full hotel or villa address and check transportation and marina directions before setting your pickup time.
