Me and 7 friends from belfast are returning to TTR on the 28/9 til the 13/10 for our third time. We hired out a catarmaran last year called the mary y tere and had a brilliant day. iv been looking on the net and it seems really expensive to hire out this year. Iv emailed albatros but they havent came back to me. Does any1 know where we could hire a decent boat for the day at a good rate? Thanks
Talk to Sergio at the towel hut by the pool, and he will set you up. We were on the Mar y Tere a couple of years and that boat is now pretty expensive for some reason. There are lots of other options, and Sergio is the man.
cheers, it was sergio who sorted it out last year! We paid about 1400 for the day but when i looked online it had went up to 3500. Hopefully they will have something similar.
I could organise one, but for only 8 people it would be expensive. $1800 is the standard cost for a days hire and that would be split between however many people you have in your group. 1800/8 = $225 per person! Instead why not come along to our proposed cruise on the 9th, cost would only be $60 per person and it will just be people from Temptation and this forum - no kids. We do all the things you did last year and more! Here's the link: http://www.cancuncare.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=43552
Wow $1800, has the cost gone up that much?!! It went up quite a bit last year too, but there were 10 of us (5 couples), & each couple only paid somewhere around $2xx (don't remember exactly, mid to upper twos), we were on the Mar y Tera We've done the whole day cat charters through Albatross for three or four years, it is so much more fun than the crowded 'cattle boat' tours, well worth the extra money!! -- but at what seem to be the new prices we will either have to find another more reasonable company or skip it And the 9th isn't doable for us as a substitute, we don't arrive till that evening.
Cheers steve, il try and see if we can find something cheaper when we arrive. If not we'll probably join ur trip.
