Are floating mats free at CocoCay?

Are there any water activities or snorkel gear available to rent at Coco Beach Club at Perfect Day at CocoCay? Complimentary floating mats are available for all Coco Beach Club guests on a first come, first served basis. Snorkel gear is available to rent for a fee at Chill Beach.



No, floating mats at Perfect Day at CocoCay are generally not free for the average guest, but there are a few ways to get them "included." Typically, a floating mat rental costs approximately $18 to $25 for the day, and you can pick one up at various rental stations located around Chill Island or Oasis Lagoon. However, if you book a private cabana—such as a Chill Island Cabana or an Overwater Cabana at the Coco Beach Club—two floating mats are usually included as part of your premium amenities. In 2026, Royal Caribbean continues to offer many "complimentary" perks like beach chairs, umbrellas, and the Snack Shack food, but specialized "floats" remain a revenue-generating rental item. If you're looking to save money, many travelers bring their own small, inflatable "hammock" floats that pack flat in a suitcase, as these are permitted in the calm waters of the lagoon and provide the same relaxation without the daily rental fee.
