Premium “First Lady” Private Snorkel & El Cielo Sandbar Charter

About this experience

Enjoy Cozumel your way on a fully private charter aboard First Lady, a 29ft Mako for groups of up to 10 guests. Choose 4, 5, 6 or 8 hours and cruise south into Cozumel’s Marine Park for guided snorkeling before relaxing in the shallow turquoise waters of El Cielo and El Cielito. Because the boat is private, the pace can be adjusted around your group where practical.

Your charter includes snorkel gear and flotation vests, a fresh lunch prepared during the trip, open bar, shaded seating and a full marine toilet. First Lady departs from Marina ASIPONA/FONATUR, only about 5 minutes by taxi from Puerta Maya and the International Cruise Terminal and about 10 minutes from Punta Langosta/downtown and the ferry terminal.

A comfortable choice for families, couples and small private groups who want their own boat, crew and a more personal way to experience Cozumel.

Itinerary and highlights

Meet your captain and crew at Marina ASIPONA/FONATUR, then board First Lady, our 29ft Mako, for your private 4, 5, 6 or 8-hour charter.

Cruise south along Cozumel’s coastline toward the Marine Park, passing Chankanaab on the way. Your crew will take you to suitable snorkeling areas, which may include Palancar or Colombia Reef depending on your charter length, sea conditions and Marine Park regulations. Snorkel gear and flotation vests are provided, and the crew guides the snorkeling.

Continue to El Cielo and El Cielito to swim, relax and enjoy the shallow turquoise water. During the charter, enjoy a fresh lunch prepared for your group and an open bar with soft drinks, beer, rum, tequila and mixed drinks.

Because this is a private charter, the pace can be adjusted where practical for more snorkeling, swimming or relaxing. At the end of your trip, cruise back along Cozumel’s coast to Marina ASIPONA/FONATUR.
