The Bocana Bay is located in the front of the beach in Puerto Aventuras, known as the Fatima Bay. The bay hosts up to 20 boats that can anchor there, the water is shallow around the edges and more than deep enough to jump into from the middle.
When we make a stop in the bay this is when we pull out all the toys, lily pad, floaties, and paddle boards. If you want to grab a mask and play in the bay this is also fun.
The crew from every boat will make sure that the guys have drink in hand, enjoy the amazing food and snacks offered aboard the vessels, and that the music won’t stop.
Bocana bay which is what most people call it, is surrounded by a low wall made of rocks. These rocks offers protection from wind and waves. It offers a calm pretty location, perfect for a stop after snorkeling or on days when the weather is bad.
The bay offers the perfect place to anchor and still be able to get out on the ocean and enjoy the best the Caribbean has to offer. Clients who do not like to swim, or are not as comfortable out on the ocean, this is the perfect location to go.
No, not every tour out of Puerto Aventuras goes to the Bocana. Our 4-hour charters normally go to In’ah Bay or Xpu-ha to snorkel on the reef. The 5-hour charters go first to the reef and then to the Bocana for a swim top. All our 3-hour sunset tours, go out on the ocean and then anchor in Bocana for the final 2 hours of so of the charter. The option to use the Bocana is given to clients on days when the ocean makes arriving to In’ah Bay not fun for most clients who are not regulars on the ocean.
All our tours can go to the Bocana if the client wants to. Please note if you choose to go to Bocana on the 4-hour tour there is not enough time to get to the reef so we will forgo the snorkeling portion of the trip. This means we can sail and or motor along the coast and then come in an anchor. We always recommend this as an option as well for those groups who have enjoyed too many margaritas the night before.
The Bocana bay in Puerto Aventuras Marina is the only marina on the coast that can still offer this little gem as an option to our guests. We look forward to having you come out and having a great time with us!
