Its climate, the great variety of tourist attractions, and its gastronomic offer make Veracruz a unique destination, not to mention the incredible warmth of its people. Located on the Gulf of Mexico with a coastline bathed by the waters of the Atlantic, make the rich Villa de la Vera Cruz an excellent option to choose as the site of your next vacation.

This state not only has great attractions in its port or in the capital, but it also has spectacular municipalities worth visiting, and therefore, here are some of the boat trips that you can choose to know its corners and ecosystems.

• Boat tours: one of the destinations you can enjoy sailing by boat is Catemaco, a town known for having the highest concentration of places to visit shamans and perform rituals, but this town is more than that. There are some departures where you will reach an island full of spider monkeys and macaques. These animals will brighten up your day and pose for you to take the best pictures of them while they feed or jump in the jungle. Catemaco also has caves known as El Tegal and beaches with volcanic stone sand, which you will also see during the tour. So as you read this, you know that this town has more to offer than just visiting it for its fame for being the destination for cleansing, moorings, finding healers, or even witches.

Another destination you can access by boat is "Cancuncito," a small island located just 30 minutes from the port. This site is known for having the most crystalline waters in the state of Veracruz, and it is ideal for swimming and watching thousands of colorful fish. Our instructors have snorkeling equipment ready for anyone who wants to explore these waters. Also, this destination is perfect if you are traveling with children.

This boat ride lasts between 30 minutes and 2 hours, so it is a perfect plan if you have little time, plus the capacity of the ship is usually between 7 and 10 people, ideal if you are looking for a more private service.

• Catamaran rides: as you probably know, this type of boat can fit 30 to 120 people, making it a perfect plan if you are looking for a bit of a party atmosphere. You will meet more tourists and take a stroll through the port of Veracruz. You can choose to get on the catamaran first thing in the morning or in the afternoon to watch the sunset. The catamaran ride usually lasts for 4 hours. Therefore you will enjoy an open bar and music on board.

Another modality in which you can access these boats is by renting it. If you are traveling with a large group of people or planning a business activity, you will have the opportunity to reserve the catamaran just for you and your group. Of course, you will have included the skipper of the boat, staff and liability insurance. You just have to decide the capacity and the number of hours you will use the catamaran.

Whichever modality you choose, it will allow you to take a tour of the beautiful port of Veracruz, take advantage of the views of the boardwalk and the large hotels on the seashore. Relax and take advantage of every minute to observe the landscapes of this beautiful coast.

• Boat rides and adventure activities: if a boat or catamaran ride is not enough to enjoy the coastal attractions, then we will include some other activities. One of these activities can be a kayak ride on the Mandinga Lagoon, where you will paddle through its calm waters while admiring the shore with abundant jungle vegetation. Another activity can be rappelling in Roca Partida. So open your mind and join new adventures that will fill you with adrenaline and excitement besides making you know new places.

As you can read, thanks to a boat ride you can visit spectacular sites in Veracruz. You get to personalize your experience whether you want to have a cultural or festive atmosphere. Come prepared to dance, taste delicious food and enjoy the tropical aroma that defines the port.
