Reef-front
El Cid marina on the Riviera Maya reef — sailing catamarans, fishing boats and snorkel tours just off the coast.
Puerto Morelos sits midway between Cancun and Playa del Carmen, fronting one of the healthiest sections of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef — a protected national park that begins just a few hundred metres offshore. That rare closeness means short, calm boat rides and some of the easiest snorkeling and diving on the coast. The El Cid marina here is home to sailing catamarans, fishing boats and reef tour vessels, all departing from a relaxed fishing-village setting. Whether you want a half-day reef snorkel, a sportfishing run or a sunset sail, the small fleet below covers it, crewed and ready.
