Common Questions
Is Tulum Yachts a trustworthy, accredited company?
Absolutely! Since 2018, we’ve passed all the necessary checks and screenings. We use secure payment platforms like Venmo and Zelle connected to U.S. banks — no shady stuff here. ⚠️ Beware of copycats using our content and publishing fake reviews. When in doubt, contact us directly — we’ve got your back!
Where can I find the dock?
You’ll find us at the Puerto Aventuras Marina, as Tulum doesn’t have marinas or docks for yachts. It’s about 30-45 minutes from Tulum or 20-25 minutes from Playa del Carmen. Check our website map for more details.

Where do we cruise to, where are the stops?
Where We Can Go
For 4 or 5-hour cruises, you’ll typically stop at Inah Reef for some snorkeling fun, then head to La Bocana Cove — a perfect anchor spot for swimming, relaxing, and enjoying a meal.
For 8 or 9-hour cruises (depending on the boat), we can take you to stunning Cozumel or even the Tulum Ruins for an unforgettable experience.
If you’re prone to seasickness, we suggest keeping it simple and just docking at La Bocana Cove—it’s the ideal spot for lounging, swimming, eating, and sipping drinks. Fun fact: most of the content on our social media is filmed right there!

What happens if the weather is bad on the tour day?
Caribbean weather can be unpredictable. It might be sunny here while raining a few miles away. We stay updated with the latest weather info. If the marina closes due to weather, we’ll notify you to reschedule. If rescheduling doesn’t work, we’ll refund your deposit 100%.
