Three distinct day-trips within reach of a Tulum-based charter. Each one delivers a fundamentally different experience — here's what each route gets you and which vessel works best.
The 6-hour Tulum charter navigates toward the Tulum ruins, with snorkeling right in front of them. Departures run in the morning, up to midday.
A separate 8-hour tour with a fixed 10:00 AM–6:00 PM schedule. The boat navigates to Cozumel, snorkels at the Palancar reef, and stops at a beach.

The math on a private charter comes down to group size and vessel choice. Bigger groups on the right boat bring the per-person cost down fast — all figures below are Nauty 360's own tour prices, with the $20/person dock tax added and marked separately.
Each vessel has a base price covering its base capacity. The price doesn't drop for fewer guests, so filling the boat brings the cost per person down — note that the boat itself matters as much as the group size: the 15-guest catamaran actually costs less per person than the 15-guest yacht. The $20/person dock tax is paid separately at the marina, added here so the total is accurate. All figures are Nauty 360's own tour rates — not compared against shared tours or other operators.
Five operational facts that actually affect your day — gathered from local captains and direct experience operating in Quintana Roo waters.
