Fat Cat Catamaran

Is this trip really worth the price of $89 USD? I've been on a similar one in Jamaica which was a blast.
I will be traveling by myself and am trying to plan a few excursions I have not done on my prior four trips to Mexico.
Please give me your honest opinion. Obviously, I need to watch my money and only spend on what is worthwhile. I have already done Chichen Itza, Tulum, Xel Ha, Xcaret, Isla Mujeras, Cozumel.
TIA!!

We did this a few weeks ago and it was a lot of fun. The crew was very entertaining and worked very hard to make sure everyone was having a good time. You can see our pictures of the day on here:

I would say yes as well, live in PA and we get to get out on the water fairly often. Just being out there is enough in itself, but the op is top notch, drinks, music, snorkel, swim, drinks, dance, .................

It is a very nice trip, but the rum punch is flowing, and they don't really give you any REAL food, just snacks. We had a great time, but I think next time we will do the Catamaya, as I think they are the same price, and you get a REAL lunch.

Whoops! We went on the Catamaya trip - not Fat Cat. And we had a pretty good lunch too. You get steak or lobster - go for the steak.

I've done both, and, for me, the Catamaya was the winner by a hair.

Can't lose with either, though.

Oh, and both were worth the $.

I have not been on the Catamaya, but have done the tour on the Fatcat three times. It is so much fun. The crew is wonderful, there is plenty of beer and rum punch, and the snacks are great. The price of the the trip is certainly worth it.
