5H 42' Azimut Yacht All-Inclusive from Tulum & Playa del Carmen.

About this tour

When Alex from our BugBitten team booked this private yacht charter, we found ourselves on a sleek 42-footer heading out from Tulum into genuinely turquoise water. Five hours sounds short until you realise how much happens: two proper snorkel stops at reef-sheltered spots where turtles and fish actually show up, a full lunch (ceviche or your preference), and a drinks setup that doesn't pretend to be anything less than generous. The boat crew are attentive without hovering. The final stop is more party than sightseeing — shallow water, your playlist, nowhere to be. It's built for groups and celebrations, and it delivers.

Highlights

• Two reef snorkel spots with real turtle and fish sightings
• Ceviche lunch cooked fresh onboard, or custom meal ordered ahead
• Open bar throughout — spirits, beer, soft drinks all covered
• Optional troll fishing with catch cooked fresh for you
• Final hour at shallow-water beach stop, music on, zero rush back
• Crew attentive and genuinely friendly, not rushing between tasks
• Private charter means your group controls the vibe entirely

What to expect

You'll be picked up at the marina and briefed quickly — safety first, but no lengthy lecture. The run out to the first snorkel site takes about 45 minutes; it's calm enough that most people stay topside with a drink, watching the coastline shrink. First reef stop is sheltered and shallow enough that you can stand if you need to; fish are abundant and turtles cruise past regularly. Back onboard, towels and snacks while the crew sets up lunch. Second reef site is similar, perhaps slightly deeper, and equally good for sightseeing underwater. The real surprise is the final hour: a named spot in shallow water where the boat drops anchor, music plays, and the pace shifts entirely. You're not sightseeing anymore — you're just there. The return to the marina is a proper wind-down, usually late afternoon light.
