It is a common question we usually get: Where do I depart from for my Puerto Aventuras boat tour in the Riviera Maya?
You will go sailing or yachting on your boat charter from Puerto Aventuras if you are located in Tulum, Akumal, and Playa Del Carmen.
Puerto Aventuras is a small gated marina community. It was built in the 1980’s as a marina community, and has become a quaint expat haven.
The town of Puerto Aventuras is also a great place to stay, it holds a golf course, the marina, many shops, restaurants and great private villa rentals.
Puerto Aventuras hosts people from all around the world, living permanently there or coming and going depending on the season. Puerto Aventuras is known for its ocean activities
Its privileged location puts you right where the action is.
The Charters we offer from Puerto Aventuras generally sail along the coast north or south, depending on the weather.
The Mesoamerican reef is the 2nd largest reef in the world.
The Mesoamerican Reef region lies within the Caribbean Sea and touches the coasts of Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, and Honduras. It contains the largest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere, stretching nearly 700 miles from the northern tip of the Yucatan Peninsula down through the Honduran Bay Islands.
Anywhere you anchor along the reef is good snorkeling where you will see fish, sometimes rays, and even turtles depending on the season.
3-hour sunset tours generally sail north up the coast. Occasionally you can do an hour of sailing, stop at La Bocana, swim for about 45 min. and then continue sailing another hour.
4-hour tours are for snorkeling! The tour will take you to to one of our anchor locations, approx 1 hour north or south of Puerto Aventuras Marina.
You will enjoy time there of 2 hours total, where you will swim, snorkel, or aboard. The second hour we serve snacks or lunch depending which tour you have purchased.
The last hour of the tour is a return along the coast to our Puerto Aventuras Marina.
5-hour sailing charters are a combination of the snorkel tour and the Bocana swimming stop if wanted. You exit Puerto Aventuras AND travel about an hour.
You will snorkel the reef for about an hour, lunch, and then sail for an hour returning to a party stop at La Bocana, where you can swim and play.
If you would like we can stay in the original location or if you are a sailor we can head out for more sailing time on the ocean.
