The Xailing Catamaran Prime includes snorkeling at El Meco reef. In addition to corals and colorful fish, El Meco is one of the \u201cgalleries\u201d comprising the Cancun Underwater Art Museum (MUSA). As you swim among the sculptures, you\u2019ll see how they are being transformed by the sea into living art as they are colonized by marine creatures such as sponges, corals, algae, shells and tiny fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"845\" height=\"567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/xailing-catamaran.jpg\" alt=\"Xailing Catamaran\" class=\"wp-image-73465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/xailing-catamaran.jpg 845w, https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/xailing-catamaran-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/xailing-catamaran-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/xailing-catamaran-705x473.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exploring Isla Mujeres<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon arrival at Isla Mujeres, the Xailing Catamaran Prime includes admission to a beach club for sunbathing, swimming and lunch, and time for exploring the island. You can hire a golf cart, bike or taxi (additional charges apply) and visit the bustling fishing village to shop for crafts, jewelry and souvenirs, enjoy more amazing views under the palms at Playa Norte or head to Punta Sur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking in the glorious view of the Caribbean and Cancun\u2019s skyline in the distance on Punta Sur is one of the highlights of a visit to Isla Mujeres. In ancient times, the tiny Maya temple was dedicated to Ixchel, the goddess of the moon, fertility and fishermen. In 1517, the Spanish conquistador Francisco Hern\u00e1ndez de Cordoba anchored off the island and espied feminine idols on the southern headland, naming it Punta Mujeres or Isla Mujeres. Take a deep breath on the point and listen to the waves crashing against the rocks and the sigh of the breeze, simply heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If there\u2019s still time before your boat departs, you may want to head back to the north of the island for more beach relaxation at Playa Norte. Order a cocktail and fresh seafood at one of the waterfront restaurants before you go. Some boats have music and dancing on the way back to Cancun for more fun or you can just relax and take in the Caribbean sunset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"845\" height=\"567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/contoy.jpg\" alt=\"Contoy\" class=\"wp-image-63338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/contoy.jpg 845w, https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/contoy-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/contoy-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/contoy-705x473.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More island hopping<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After a day on Isla Mujeres, you\u2019ll be ready to embark on more sailing adventures.
