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.
