What is the Fat Cat catamaran tour like?

Fat Cat Catamaran tour

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.

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.

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. This tour is not advisable for those who suffer from seasickness.

FAT CAT catamaran adventure tour-Review!

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!

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!

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.

How crowded does it get? I ask because the playa.info site says it holds a maximum of 35 people, there is no way they mean 35 people on one 41' boat, do they? We had a 38' Cat in Greece with 8 people so I'm having a very hard time imagining 35 people! Can someone let me know? Thanks!

  • Puerto Aventuras

When you arrive for check in you will be greeted by our friendly English and Spanish speaking staff.  They will check you in prior to boarding, and answer any last minute questions you may have.  It is always better to arrive around 15 minutes before your departure time. Our crew are all extremely competent, experienced and just generally great guys! The crew will ensure that everyone gets on board safely and is seated for the safety briefing.  Your safety is our first priority so we ask for your undivided attention to this briefing before the fun begins.

You will be setting sail from  Marina Puerto Aventuras.  This is a small community with the marina and golf course and some spectacular homes and condos.  As you head out onto the Caribbean ocean you will be stunned at the clarity of the turquoise water and the undisturbed powder white beaches which you will cruise past. Our crew will be on hand to answer any questions you may have but more importantly they will be there to serve you.  The bar will be opened and our bar tender will be there to keep your glass topped up.  We serve beer, rum, vodka, tequila, a selection of mixers and plenty of purified water.  Speciality drinks can also be added to your charter package.

On board our 8 hour charters you can decide where you want to go, towards Tulum to the beautiful Mayan ruins, across to the island of Cozumel, or perhaps you want to sail past Playa del Carmen. Whilst sailing to your first destination wherever you decide to go your crew will be happy to put the fishing lines out.  If you catch anything they will put it on ice if you wish to take it back to your villa or hotel to be cooked, or they can make fresh ceviche on board.

As you arrive at your desired destination your boat will slip onto the inside of the reef where you will anchor in the shallow protected waters.  This makes getting on and off the boat easy and safe and also means that anyone choosing to stay on board and not snorkel can enjoy being anchored in calm waters.

There are a lot of very good snorkel spots around the Riviera Maya, your captain will guide you  to vibrant reefs where you can expect to encounter sea turtles, rays and many varieties of tropical fish including damselfish, drum fish, angel fish, parrot fish and many more. Anyone in the group who does not wish to snorkel will be well looked after on board. From the comfort of the boat they can watch  the marine life swimming around the crystal clear waters.

As your group returns to the boat the crew will help everyone off with their snorkel equipment and offer you a refreshing cocktail, beer or soda to quench your thirst.  They will also serve you some delicious simple snacks of home made salsa and guacamole with chips and ceviche.  If you have chosen any additional food they will serve it at this time also.

With everyone relaxed and enjoying some snacks and drinks your crew will raise the anchor and head out from your protected spot behind the reef towards your next stop.  Again if you like they will be happy to get the fishing lines out and help anyone who is interested hook a fish or two. As you head back to the marina the crew will be there to assist you in getting off the boat and heading to your transport or villa.

Prices start from $ 900 usd for up to 15 guests

Round Trip Transport from $200 usd for up to 14 people

Hi! We're headed to playa in a couple of weeks (yay!) and I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations for catamaran trips? My friend recommended Fat Cat but said it has been a long time since she used them. I'd just like to get some time on a boat. Cocktails are a must but I'm not looking for a spring break reenactment per se. Just a great time on the water!

Fat Cat is great, check it out.

We took the Albatross Catamaran trip from cancun to isla mujeres and LOVED it. Open bar all the way, but such a mix of people on the boat you didn't feel surrounded by drunken idiots. The staff was amazing making sure everyone had a great time safely!
