Catamaran Cancun with Xailing: Your Next Great Adventure Awaits

The Caribbean has a thousand ways to win you over, but few are as memorable as discovering it from the deck of a catamaran.

Xcaret Xailing reinvents the way to experience the sea with two journeys that awaken all your senses: a sunset cruise where live music blends with golden hues on the horizon, and a daytime adventure to Isla Mujeres, featuring snorkeling in crystal-clear waters and a beach club designed for unhurried relaxation.

Choose to immerse yourself in the magic of the sunset with Xcaret Catamaran Xunset or uncover the secrets of paradise with Xcaret Catamaran Prime; either experience becomes a window into a Caribbean that’s as breathtaking as it is unforgettable.

Everything you need to know before living the Xailing experience.

Both catamaran experiences depart from Embarcadero Isla Mujeres by Xcaret. It is essential to present an official ID at check-in; this requirement ensures a smooth and secure boarding process.

The rhythm of the sea adapts to every type of traveler: the Xcaret Catamaran Prime Tour sets sail each morning at 8:30 a.m. for a seven-hour adventure; meanwhile, the Xcaret Catamaran Xunset Tour departs every Tuesday and Thursday at 5:30 p.m. and lasts two and a half hours.

Both tours are designed for all ages, with special benefits for families: children aged 5 to 11 enjoy a 25% discount on the adult fare, and infants under 4 travel free of charge.

Catamaran Prime: Adventure and Snorkeling in the Caribbean

Prepare to Experience the Ultimate Adventure with Catamaran Prime.

To ensure a seamless experience, bring a towel, sunscreen, swimwear, and a fresh change of clothes for comfortable exploration of Isla Mujeres. Complete your outfit with a hat, cap, and sunglasses—essential companions for enjoying every outdoor moment.

A light bag and a waterproof phone case are also recommended; however, if you prefer to fully relax without worrying about capturing every moment, the professional photo package is a must-have. Trust us, it’s worth it for preserving unique memories of this adventure.

There’s no need to worry about food or drinks, as they are fully included in the tour, allowing you to focus entirely on the experience.

That said, we offer options for all types of travelers. For those seeking a more practical approach, Catamarán Light provides a simpler experience without food or beverages but still delivers memorable moments.

We Set Sail: Music, Views and Open Bar

The adventure begins with a relaxed atmosphere aboard the catamaran. Upbeat music, sea breeze, and an open bar available from the very start set the tone for a day filled with breathtaking scenery.

The crew welcomes you with the warmth and attentive service that define the Xcaret brand, ensuring everything flows smoothly as you sail over crystal-clear waters in mesmerizing shades of turquoise.

Explore the underwater realm through an immersive snorkeling experience.

Upon arrival at the designated spot, you will be equipped with everything needed to explore the Caribbean under expert guidance.Snorkeling gear and life jackets are provided onboard, but basic swimming skills are essential to safely complete the excursion.

Beneath the surface, a vibrant world awaits you: schools of tropical fish, coral reefs, and, with a bit of luck, sea turtles may cross your path. Bringing a waterproof case for your phone is a great idea if you want to capture unique photos of this underwater experience.

Coastal Oasis

After snorkeling, the experience continues at Zaza, a beachfront beach club featuring a pool, open bar, and a diverse buffet that invites you to savor every bite.

It’s a comfortable space designed for you to relax, savor the dishes, and recharge before continuing your exploration. You can sunbathe on a lounge chair, take a dip in the pool, or simply enjoy the sea view while sipping a refreshing drink.

Uncover the hidden treasures of Isla Mujeres

The journey continues toward the heart of Isla Mujeres, where you’ll have approximately one hour to explore the island at your own pace. The possibilities are endless:

  • North Beach, a gem of white sands and shallow turquoise waters, perfect for swimming, relaxing, or capturing postcard-worthy photos.
  • Stroll along Avenida Hidalgo, the vibrant heart of the island filled with boutique shops, charming bars, and colorful murals that tell local stories.
  • Rent a golf cart or scooter—the most fun and convenient way to explore spots like Punta Sur, with its cliffs and seaside sculptures.
  • Enjoy artisanal ice cream or a coffee at one of the island’s hidden culinary gems, ideal for a refreshing break.
  • And, of course, bring home a unique souvenir—a piece of local craftsmanship that connects you to the island’s spirit and will accompany you long after your trip.


Whichever you choose, every corner of Isla Mujeres holds its own charm and invites you to experience it at a leisurely pace.

An exhilarating finale upon the waves

During the return to the dock, the music picks up, creating a festive atmosphere that invites passengers to dance and raise a toast. This lively setting offers a memorable finale to the experience, blending Caribbean rhythms with the refreshing sea breeze before arriving at Embarcadero Isla Mujeres by Xcaret.
