Sunset Catamaran Cruise — Cancún and Riviera Maya

There are a lot of ways to watch a Caribbean sunset. Standing on the beach works. So does a rooftop bar. But if you want the version you’ll actually remember, get on a catamaran.

Seek & Go’s luxury sunset sailing tour puts you on the water with an open bar as the sun drops below the horizon. The boat, the breeze, the colors — it’s the most popular couples’ excursion in the region for a reason.

What to Expect

Duration: Approximately 2–3 hours. Departures are timed for optimal sunset viewing — typically late afternoon.

The boat: Large catamarans with open decks, netting for lounging, and covered areas. Most have both seating and standing areas so you can move around.

What’s included: Open bar (beer, cocktails, wine, soft drinks), light appetizers on some sailings. Snorkel gear on combo tours.

The route: From Cancún, boats typically sail along the Hotel Zone coastline. From Playa del Carmen, you sail along the Riviera Maya coast. Both offer unobstructed sunset views over the Caribbean.

The vibe: Relaxed and social. Some sailings play music; others keep it chill. Expect a mix of couples, small groups, and honeymooners.

Pricing

Both include round-trip transportation from your Sandos resort and the open bar on board.

Who It’s For

Couples and honeymooners — This is the signature romantic excursion. If you’re celebrating an anniversary, honeymoon, or just want a memorable evening together, this is it.

Destination wedding groups — Several wedding parties at Sandos resorts book group sunset cruises as a pre-wedding or post-wedding event for their guests. Ask the Seek & Go desk about group sizing.

Anyone who wants an easy, beautiful evening — You don’t need to be in a relationship to enjoy a sunset from the water with a drink in your hand.

Tips

• Bring a light jacket or wrap — the breeze picks up once you’re on the water, and the temperature drops after sunset
• Sunscreen still matters — the late-afternoon sun is lower but still strong, especially on the water
• Camera battery charged — the golden hour light on the Caribbean is extraordinary
• Arrive fed or eat the appetizers — the open bar is generous but the food is light; have a snack before or plan dinner after
• Motion sensitivity — the Caribbean is generally calm, but if you get seasick, take precautions before boarding
