1. Small group catamaran (best overall)
Under 25 passengers, attentive crew, snorkel stop, lunch on board, and open bar. The sweet spot for couples and families at $115 to $145.
Smaller boats that prioritize reef time over party atmosphere. Great if snorkeling, not the open bar, is your priority.
3. Large party catamaran (budget)
From $80, bigger boats with 50 to 80 passengers and a party vibe. Same itinerary, lower price, more crowds.
4. Speedboat tours
Fast 15 minute crossing and more beach time. Smaller groups, around $120 to $150. Good for travelers short on time.
5. Private charters
Your own boat from $700, custom route and crew. Best for families and special occasions.
