I visited Puerto Vallarta with my company and we did a full day excursion with Fat Cat on their catamaran – and it was the highlight of our whole week-long trip! My experience was like a true party boat vibe and I had a blast. We were on a two-story boat with full service bar, two bathrooms (both really clean and nice!), two waterslides, plenty of comfy seats and cushions to lounge on, excellent sound system, life vests, a handheld shower, and really friendly crew who pointed out a whole pod of dolphins that came by to play! We stopped at one point to jump and play in the ocean and they cooked us all lunch (with snacks before and after) which was really tasty. They really provided everything we needed and more – contributing to the fun party atmosphere and were excellent tour guides of the area. Will definitely be back to visit someday!

What is the Fat Cat catamaran tour like?

Are you looking for a catamaran tour to go on while on vacation here in the Riviera Maya? Fat Cat Catamaran is one tour you can take. We went out on this tour to tell you all about it.

What to expect on a Fat Cat Catamaran tour

Your tour will begin by getting picked up at your hotel. Transportation is included in the local area.

You will be taken to Puerto Aventuras, a private gated town on the coast of the Riviera Maya. Puerto Aventuras is one of the only ports on the coast where there are catamaran tours.

Once you arrive you will walk to the dock and board your catamaran. Fat Cat Catamarans has 45 ft. boats that hold 40 people. Once on board your bilingual crew will introduce themselves.

As you leave port, you are offered drinks as you set sail up the Riviera Maya. In about one hour you will arrive at a beautiful bay where you can go snorkeling. This bay has a nice reef. You can see stingrays, sea turtles, and lots of tropical fish. You will have about 45 minutes here.

After snorkeling you will receive a bagged lunch. This contains a sandwich, chips and cookies. You can enjoy your lunch as you sail back toward Puerto Aventuras.

Once back in Puerto Aventuras your catamaran tour will take you to a shallow lagoon. This beautiful area is great for jumping off the boat and swimming around. Be sure to get some pictures here!

After swimming Fat Cat Catamaran will take you back into port where you will meet your transportation back to your hotel.

What is included in Fat Cat catamaran tour price

Here is what is included in the price of this tour:

• Transportation from most areas and hotels from Playa Del Carmen to Tulum. When you book you will get a pickup schedule. If your hotel is outside of their pickup zone there is a small add on fee.
• Alcoholic drinks on board, including beer. This is not a full bar, but a selection of drinks. Also soda and waters are included.
• Snorkel equipment including fins are included.
• A bagged lunch, which is a sandwich, chips and cookies.

What to bring on this tour

• A bag is good for holding your clothes in. It is windy on board and it is nice to keep things in a bag. Your shoes will be collected in a bin before boarding so you do not need to worry about them.
• Water proof camera for snorkeling.
• Biodegradable sunscreen. This is important in the Riviera Maya. The cenotes and reefs are delicate ecosystems. Sunscreens contain hazardous chemical.
• A towel for drying off.

We have been looking to go on a catamaran tour while on vacation. Thanks for giving us a report. The video is beautiful.

We had an amazing time on our Fat Cat Tour, just watch out for the Run punch, it can sneak up on you. We’ll be doing this tour again.

We had one of those rum punches and it was good tasting. We stopped at one because we were working.hahahah

I’ve been on both Fatcat Catamaran and Catamaya and I have to say I like Catamaya better. It has a bigger boat and cheaper price with special booking code on here. Plus you get a meal rather then bagged lunch.

We have got out this tour! Looks so beautiful. Your video really makes it look exciting.

A Superb Catamaran Adventure Tour... Start the morning on the "Fat Cat", a 41 foot custom built catamaran with a friendly and professional UK/Mex. crew. It is owner-operated to ensure the very best service. The Fat Cat offers Mexico's only 'boom netting' experience, combined with a stop in a secluded snorkel cove overlooked by a Mayan temple. The Catamaran carries up to 40 passengers per tour. W e will be happy to check availability for any day except Sunday. (The Fat Cat rests on Sundays). Private tours also available! Catamaran Tour Description You will be picked up from your hotel along the Mayan Riviera in one of our air conditioned vans. Your pick up time will be confirmed at the time of booking. The tour begins at 10am with a short safety briefing as we head out of the marina into the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean. The crew serves drinks and fresh tropical fruit platters as catamaran heads North towards Bahia Ihna where it passes behind the reef or South to Xpu Ha (depending on wind conditions to maximize sailing). Once anchored, you can enjoy excellent snorkelling in these safe, shallow and protected waters. We provide all snorkel equipment (including sterilized mask and mouthpiece) for both adult and child guests and life-jackets. After snorkelling and swimming you can climb back on board and enjoy a light picnic “boxed” lunch. Lunch includes a filled baguette, potato chips / crisps, and cake, biscuit or a granola bar. You will also be able to enjoy a cool beer, a glass or two of the famous ”Fat Cat Punch” as well as unlimited sodas and water. As the boat heads South towards Puerto Aventuras there is the opportunity for the “brave and adventurous” to jump on the famous “Boom Net” There is time for one last swim stop near the entrance to the South Marina of Puerto Aventuras where the cold waters from the cenotes jet up through the ocean floor. The boat returns to Puerto Aventuras at around 2.00pm. You will get the chance to pick up your “Crew” tee shirts and souvenir photographs at our store before boarding your vans to take you back to your hotel. The sail includes: Free drinks, cocktails, beers, coke, coke light, mineral water and fruit juice. Free Snacks: guacamole, salsa, chips and fresh tropical fruit platters. (And yes, there is a bathroom on board). The tour is approx. 5 hours First tour at 9 :00am - Second tour at 3 :00 pm and sets sail from Puerto Aventuras. (Approx. 15 minutes from Playa del Carmen). 

* Another option would be to tell them you do not need a transport back to Playa ( It costs approximately 1 5 0 pesos (about $ 15 US, depending on the exchange rate) to get a taxi back into Playa del Carmen on your own ) and take a look around the marina, shopping area. They also have a "swim with the dolphins" program there. What to Bring If you plan to book the tour, please bring a towel, sunscreen (although part of the boat is covered), swimwear, change of clothes & reservation number on the day of the sail. If you book through us, we will send you an email payment confirmation to take with you. We must get a 30 % deposit from when we confirm your tour reservation. There will be no refund if you do not show up for the pick-up. It is very important that you are on-time for the pick-up. Cancellations need to be made a week in advance to receive a refund. Weather In case of weather problems or rough sea conditions on the day of your scheduled tour, The Fat Cat may be forced to cancel your trip. We at Travel Riviera will attempt to notify you at your hotel and if we are unaware or unable to reach you, a Fat Cat staff member will notify you at the pick-up point of the cancellation. If it is not possible for Fat Cat to reschedule you during your stay, a refund of the amount paid to hold your reservation will be refunded back to you.

FAT CAT catamaran adventure tour-Review!

By Snoozeman , April 3, 2006 in Playa Del Carmen/Calica

Recommended Posts

While sailing on the 3/30 Elation cruise, I booked an independent tour, the Fat Cat catamaran adventure excursion, for Calica. There were three C-C members and ten others from the Elation. A Fat Cat representative met our group and we were off for about a fifteen minute drive to Puerto Adventuras. The cat is docked in a private resort area which is also the location for dolphin interactive tours. We were able to see the dolphins, manatees, and sea lions while waiting for the others sailing on the Fat Cat. This is definitely a barefoot cruise, you leave your shoes in a box before boarding. We sailed about 10:00 a.m. with 49 passengers and crew of four. The crew was very accommodating and friendly. You can check them out on their website. They were very generous with the rum punch and beer as we made our way north. We sailed to the reef just south of Calica for 45 minutes of snorkeling. Water was a bit choppy but used the all the allotted time in the water. This was a small reef, but very colorful and alive. Lot’s of fans, more than cozumel IMHO. Many colorful fish as well. Setting sail back south, more beer and rum punch along with chips, guacamole, and pico de gallo. All of which was very good. Those that wish could experience the drag net behind the boat. Hang on and don’t lose your shorts. We stopped within some protected jetty's for swimming. You could dive from the boat. Very nice and calm waters. We got back to the pier and were taken back to the ship arriving about 3:30. The fare includes your transportation and your drinks and snacks. I rate this excursion five ***** stars for both value and content. I would happily do this excursion again.

Thanks for the great review - we will be in Calica May 11 and my niece and her BF are taking this excursion - I will pass the info on to her!

• 2 weeks later...

We just did the Fat Cat a few weeks ago and it was a great, very professional and fun crew.

And the boom netting is a blast!

MSN-Travelers

Great review. We should have had the same experience when we sailed Fat Cat in early March. My family of three and another CC family of four were not met on the dock. We located the FC representative by pure chance as he wandered about with the taxi drivers. They put the seven of us in a six passenger taxi vans for a wild ride to Puerto Adventuras. There was nobody to meet the taxi when we arrived and we eventually located the catamaran just as it was about to cast off.

We had 48 passengers, crew of four and a 70+ pound boxer (boat's mascot). The boat is standing room only with 45+ passengers and their gear. This is the first daysail tour I have ever been on where the passengers were allowed to smoke where ever they wanted and we had quite a few smokers on boat that day. Ash was everywhere, to include a heavy coating on the food (ash trays were on the same tables as the food). The dog was over friendly and insisted on taking up at least three or four seats whenever it was time for a snooze. By the end of the day, the seats and deck were coated with a redish grey mixture of dog hair and cigarette ash.

They were generous with the rum punch, beer and mixed drinks. So generous that they ran out shortly after we finished snorkeling. They did not carry any diet soda aboard.

This had the potential to be a great excursion. The Mexican crew was fantastic, the boat is about six months old & in great shape, the setting was beautiful and the crystal clear waters made for great snorkeling. Just too many people!

I book independent tours to get away from the crowded conditions you often find on ship excursions. This was the worst I have ever experienced.

I agree with you MSN, we went on a day when they did not have a full load of people, I think there were maybe 25 people on our tour. Perry and I were actually talking about the fact that if there were more people on board if wouldn't be fun.

The dog hurt itself, slipped on the boat and injured it's leg, so it wasn't there the day of our tour.

You should send your experience to the owner of Fat Cat, and let him know.

We went on the FATCAT on Friday the 13th..any questions?

Yes, How was it? Was it crowded? I don't mind the people on the boat but hate being in such a crowded area while snorkeling. Many people are concerned tha they offer so much rum punch and not enough food was that a problem? Did you ride the net on the way back?

I took a similar trip in Negril and had a great time. From what hotel did you leave? How long were you gone? What did you do? Was your trip's price already included in the AI price? My fiance is very interested in this....

We were back at 2pm, then driven directly to our resort and were eating at the snack bar by 3pm.

If you are interested in doing this- you should pre-book it on line, on their website. it was $85/pp USD but we got a free t-shirt for booking on line

Thanks Maas1114,

It sounds like Negril, but maybe better. And I am glad it is not an all day thing.

I appreciate the info!

One of the reasons we picked this was because it was only 1/2 day.

It was fun..we had a good time! Some people did get a little sea sick, but the staff has plenty of buckets if necessary!

I am interested in doing the Fat Cat Catamaran Tour, so, if you have done the Fat Cat Tour, can you please post your review?

I'm not sure where you'll find reviews for fatcat but let me tell you I've spoken to a TON of people who have been on fat cat and they ALL loved it! I've never talked to anybody who didn't absolutely love it!

flyersomeone,

Try going to this website http://www.playadelcarmeninfo.com

You should be able to find many reviews/comments on the FatCat Tour there. Also, if you book your tour through this site you get a free crew t-shirt.

Go into the tab that reads trip planning to book tour.

I don't have a review of Fat Cat but we were on it last year and loved it. Great crew and a lot of fun. I would definitely suggest you do this at least once

We did it last year, and will be doing it again this year, cant give a better recommendation than that :-)

My kids are 15 and 12---would the tour be good for them? Also, is it crowded? Is there good snorkeling? Nice beach? Worth the $$$?

we are doing this tour in May! They have a web site with information and a brief media clip, check it out!!

There were a few kids when we sailed - they had a ball. There is a beautiful beach for snorkling or swimming. Of course there is unlimited rum punch and beers so on the ride back some of the adults are a little tipsy!! They drop the boom net on the way back and the kids would have a ball in that. Not sure what happened to Richie's island with the hurricane but if it is still there it is a neat thing to see (the kids would enjoy).

As the previous poster mentioned be sure to book in advance online for FATCAT through this site:

http://www.playadelcarmeninfo.com

You'll get a free T-Shirt.

You can book ATV explorer on that site too and also get a shirt...

My problem with that is from 9:00 to 3:30 you only get fruit slices & chips & salsa. Too much booze & not enough food!

Has anyone sailed with them recently?

Can you tell me a little about their tours? Their website really doesn't give much information at all.

We're doing Catamaya tomorrow, and we've done it many times in the past. For a little more info, check out our blog entry about one of our trips: http://playazone.wordpress.com/2007/06/08/catamaya-cruisin/.

OOPS!! Sorry. We could have sworn you said Catamaya.

Never mind. :)

We took the tour on June16,2008. The 9 of us had a great time. The boat and crew were great. We sailed for about 45 minutes to the reef. During which time they served us beer, mixed drinks and sodas. We were able to snorkel about 45 minutes at the reef. Which was very nice. We then sailed back to a swimming area. We were served a sandwich,chips and snack for lunch. During sail time back we rode on the boom net which was really cool. We arrived at the swimming spot and swam for around 30 minutes. All in all it was a great trip. Nice calm water and very sunny. Hope this helps answer some of your questions.

With the Catamaya tour you have your choice of steak or lobster while the Fat Cat is just snacks. Same price, which would you choose? We did the Catamaya last year and it was great.

Well then I guess I would like some information about Catamaya too.

When I did a search for catamaran tours Fat Cat was the only one that came up.

Where can I find more info about Catamaya?

Try Catamaya.net

We did this tour in June and had a great time.

catamaya.net is the website

Looks like Catamaya will be the one we'll try.

We went on the FATCAT on Friday the 13th..any questions?

Yes, How was it? Was it crowded? I don't mind the people on the boat but hate being in such a crowded area while snorkeling. Many people are concerned tha they offer so much rum punch and not enough food was that a problem? Did you ride the net on the way back?

I took a similar trip in Negril and had a great time. From what hotel did you leave? How long were you gone? What did you do? Was your trip's price already included in the AI price? My fiance is very interested in this....

We were back at 2pm, then driven directly to our resort and were eating at the snack bar by 3pm.

If you are interested in doing this- you should pre-book it on line, on their website. it was $85/pp USD but we got a free t-shirt for booking on line

Thanks Maas1114,

It sounds like Negril, but maybe better. And I am glad it is not an all day thing.

I appreciate the info!

One of the reasons we picked this was because it was only 1/2 day.

It was fun..we had a good time! Some people did get a little sea sick, but the staff has plenty of buckets if necessary!
