Enjoy a day on the water aboard a 75-foot catamaran that will sail off into the sea for a day of snorkeling, swimming and sea breezes in your hair. Fun for all ages, your Ixtapa catamaran tour includes an open bar, time in the warm sea, and a chance to see dolphins, sea turtles and, in the winter, migrating whales!

Take an Ixtapa catamaran tour from the bay

Beginning with pick-up at your Ixtapa resort by an air-conditioned van, you'll be taken to Zihuatanejo Bay, where your 75-foot dual-hulled sailboat awaits. The sailboat features a mast rising 100 feet above the sea, so the sail will catch plenty of wind and provide a relaxing catamaran tour in Ixtapa's waters. You'll sail off to a secluded beach before visiting the Playa Manzanillo reef, where guides will escort you through the water for a snorkeling trip. See manta rays, sea turtles and other marine life swim around you as you enjoy the warm sea. During the winter months, when whales migrate to the area, the sailing adventure turns into a whale-watching excursion! Net-surf and relax on a beach

Your Ixtapa catamaran tour continues when you anchor near the beach and enjoy a lunch, open bar and a chance to ride the sailboat's nets. Nicknamed 'net-surfing', the sailboat releases nets into the water, where you and other guests can hold on and enjoy the ocean spray. Your trip gets you back to dock in the early afternoon, giving you ample time to enjoy the city during the rest of the day.
