★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 600 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) Our pick

Set sail from Cozumel’s FONATUR Marina on a private five-hour Lagoon 39 catamaran charter for up to 15 people. The captain helps shape the route, while the crew provides snorkeling gear, a paddleboard, a floating mat, lunch, snacks, and a top-shelf bar. El Cielo and a sandbar are popular possibilities, but your exact stops depend on the day.

“We cruised with our extended family ranging in age from 1 - 75. This was the perfect excursion for our family, and the day could not have been better! Shelly and the crew were so accommodating and took care of ALL of us the entire trip! From meeting us at the taxi drop off (some of us walked from the cruise terminal about a mile) ,showing those who had not snorkeled how to, playing on the water toys on the sand bar, arranging taxi pickup for the return trip, and everything in between it was perfect! They pointed out lobster and sea turtles while snorkeling, which was an added bonus…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 42 reviews · 6 hours · from $90

Spend six hours sailing from Cozumel to Palancar Reef and El Cielo Bay, with snorkeling gear and a PADI-certified guide for the reef stop. The outing also includes water, canned drinks, beer and margaritas after snorkeling, and a meal at a beach restaurant. Bring comfortable shoes, and budget an extra $13 per person for the marine park fee.

“Overall not recommendable - only a couple of minutes snorkeling in a group of about 60 people with not much to see (we did not visit the palancar riffs as described!), really disappointing. The Beach Club was crowded, the food so so. Even for half the price it would not be worth the money way too overpriced”

Spend about six hours aboard First Lady Charters’ 47-foot catamaran, with a crew such as Luis and the Nemo team handling the sailing, drinks, and a freshly prepared lunch. The day includes a guided reef snorkel and, when conditions allow, El Cielo’s shallow sandbar, plus kayaks, paddleboards, and float toys.

“Luis and his crew were absolutely amazing! From the time we took off to the minute we pulled back up, great customer experience. They served delicious fresh food and made the best drinks all day long. They are a very experienced crew so we felt safe with them. Our weather started off a little rough so they were cautious to take us to the safest spots and still show us the best parts of the island. The snorkeling was fun and we had a wonderful time. Would 100% recommend doing this!”
