Cozumel cruise passengers

Skip the crowded beach club. Your own private Cozumel beach, by boat.

While the whole ship heads to a beach club with a thousand other passengers, we take you and your family to white-sand beaches you can only reach by water. Swim with stingrays and turtles, enjoy a fresh lunch and a top-shelf bar, and be back at your ship in plenty of time.

Your beach. Your water. Just your group.

No crowds, no beach-club wristbands. Just warm turquoise water, white sand and the people you came with.

Why cruise guests choose us

Time in port is short. We built this day so none of it is wasted on crowds, queues or guesswork.

Timed around your ship

Tell us when you dock and when you sail. We arrange the start time to fit your cruise itinerary.

Just your group

No shared tour bus, no strangers. Your family and friends, at your own pace, away from the crowds.

Snorkeling for everyone

Shallow reefs close to town, so beginners and kids feel comfortable. Gear is provided and PADI-certified pros are in the water with you.

Fresh lunch, top-shelf bar

Lunch is made on board, and you can relax on deck with a cold drink from our top-shelf bar.

Your day, step by step

Every day is a little different because the sea decides, but this is the rhythm of it.

  1. We meet you at the marina

    Our team welcomes you at the marina, about 10 minutes from downtown Cozumel, and personally walks you to your boat.

  2. Out on the water

    Depending on the weather we head north or south of the island, always to the conditions that give you the best day, away from the busiest spots.

  3. Snorkel at one to three sites

    Depending on your time, you explore coral reefs and, with luck, turtles, starfish and stingrays. Nature moves, so we follow where the marine life is.

  4. Relax, eat and soak it in

    Enjoy a lunch prepared on board with dishes like catch-of-the-day ceviche, guacamole, shrimp and fresh tuna (plus quesadillas on boats with a galley), plus time on deck and a stop on the island.

  5. Back to your ship

    We bring you back with your ship's departure in mind, and we will have a taxi ready to take you back to the pier.

13 years. Nobody has ever missed their ship.

The thing every cruise guest worries about is the ship leaving without them. In 13 years of hosting cruise guests, not one has missed their ship. We recommend a 9:00 AM start, and we plan every minute of the day around your departure time.

Easy to reach from your ship

We are minutes from the cruise piers, so you spend your port time on the water, not in traffic.

5 to 12 minutes from the piers

Puerta Maya pier: 5 minutes.
SSA pier: 7 minutes.
Punta Langosta pier: 12 minutes.

A taxi ready when you finish

We arrange your ride so it is waiting when your tour ends. The fare is paid directly by you, and a van for up to 10 passengers is approximately $25 USD.

Our top pick: the 5-hour Private Beach trip

On every boat, the 5-hour Private Beach departure is the ideal way to spend a port day: time to snorkel, enjoy lunch and relax without rushing back to the ship.

Cruise guest questions

The details people ask us most before their day in Cozumel.

What time should we start, and when will we be back?

We recommend starting at 9:00 AM. That gives you a relaxed day on the water and you are back well before your ship's all-aboard time. In 13 years, no guest has ever missed their ship. Tell us your docking and sailing times when you book and we plan around them.

How much does it cost?

Prices are in US dollars and are per boat, not per person. A 5-hour private beach day starts at $1,200 for up to 6 guests (Sea Ray 27) and a 6-hour El Cielo day starts at $1,400. Larger boats cost more and carry more guests. See each boat above for exact prices. A deposit confirms your booking and the balance is paid before your trip.

Where do we meet, and how far is it from the cruise piers?

We meet at our marina in Cozumel, about 5 minutes from the Puerta Maya pier, 7 from the SSA pier and 12 from Punta Langosta. Marina location on Google Maps: Open the map

How do I get from the pier to the marina, and back?

A short taxi ride. We arrange the taxi so it is ready when your day on the water ends and takes you back to your pier. You pay the taxi directly: about US$25 for a van that seats up to 10 passengers.

Is this a shared tour?

No. The boat is private, just for your group. No shared tour bus and no strangers.

Which trip do you recommend for cruise guests?

The 5-hour Private Beach trip. It gives you time to snorkel, eat and relax without rushing, and it works on every boat in our fleet.

What if my ship sails early?

Tell us when your ship docks and when it sails. We set the start time and plan the whole day around your itinerary, so you are back at your ship in plenty of time.

What is included in the day?

A fresh lunch prepared on board, a top-shelf bar, and snorkeling at one to three sites, depending on your time and where the marine life is.

How do I book?

Choose your boat on this page and book online. If you are not sure which boat fits your group, message us on WhatsApp. For the best choice of boat and date, book at least a month ahead.
