We understand that sometimes things happen and we can’t always have fun on a yacht in the Caribbean. Which is why we allow cancellations for tours with at least 14 days advance notice (14 days from the departure date).

If you simply do not show up or cancel with less than 14 full days notice before the departure date we cannot issue a refund on your deposit.

Our tours are mostly booked two months, five months or even a year in advance. With such short notice. We will have an almost impossible task of filling the time slot we’ve been holding for you.

The fantastic news is that we have a 100%, no-fuss inclement weather refund policy. If the conditions are unsuitable or unsafe for a day at sea we offer a full refund, no questions asked.

We will make every attempt to reschedule your trip, but cruise ship guests are out of luck. If your trip is canceled due to weather. We will refund your deposit the same way it was paid. We do not normally cancel due to rain unless it’s an all-day rain. It is normal in the tropics to get showers some days.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: We would like to let you know that the authorities took the decision to close temporary from October 7th 2019. The most famous reefs of Cozumel, “El Cielo Cozumel” sand bar, “Passion Island”, “Pearl Farm” and many other amazing spots. We want to let you know with some time in advance.

You have nothing to worry about, we can take you to the North part of the island choosing spots like Passion Island or other reefs and beaches that are amazing for your trip. You will still have an incredible experience. We agree and we respect the authorities decided to protect the health of our reefs.

What we usually do?

We depart from the marina headed South or North of Cozumel island to the reef barrier and make a snorkel stop away from the crowds. Snorkeling in Cozumel is one of the most fulfilling experiences you will ever have. The water is so clear you can look far away in the distance. When snorkeling in Cozumel we will request for your total respect of nature, please don´t touch or grab anything, we want to protect as much as possible the marine life and reefs. Respect the distance between you and the reef and taking any seashell is prohibited.

After a unique snorkeling experience will get close to a sand bar or private beach for some quiet beach time in beautiful relaxation time. Here our crew will prepare fresh ceviche, guacamole and more thing for you to enjoy all fresh and made on board. Do you remember that moment when you were planning your holidays and you were thinking of this paradisiac beach by yourself with a cold drink. Well, this is your dream come true and brought to life, this is the moment and the reason choosing us is your best option. We understand what you are looking for.

Everyone will be able to get in the water, it is not deep so kids or Grandma can be safe having a swim in the bluest waters ever. We recommend putting your favorite tunes so feel free to ask the captain to help you. After spending a perfect day we will make a slow return to the marina to finish your trip.

Relax sit up front, enjoy the view and remember this is a time to connect with your loved ones. We will take care of the rest so please enjoy and relax.

Coming down for a trip next year, but love to plan in advance? No problem. Are you more of a seat-of-your-pants traveler? No problem.

Most of the things needed for a perfect day are already on board but we recommend you pack for your snorkel excursion like you would for a day at the beach.

1. Towels
2. Snorkel gear for kids we only provide Medium and Large gear.
3. 50% UV T-Shirt / IMPORTANT – Eco-friendly Sunscreen is also for sell at the office (regular sunscreen affects the reef and kills coral so please help us getting a bio-friendly sunscreen or a long sleeve t-shirt)
4. Camera (make sure you’ve got lots of storage on your media card)
5. For very young children, we suggest that you might want to bring a swim vest that your child feels comfortable wearing. (We also have onboard)
6. If you have your own snorkel gear, and feel more comfortable with it you are welcome to bring it! However, we do provide sanitized quality snorkel gear and flotation devices free of charge.
7. Bring your cellphone or iPod, with your favorite tunes.

One of the most harmful things to marine life is sunscreens, oils, and sunblocks. We don’t think of it, but when we swim in the water these oils come off and settle on the coral reefs and other marine life. The volume can almost act like an oil slick in the water, creating damage to the delicate ecosystems. The reefs are suffocated and sunscreens are one of the biggest causes of bleaching to our reefs. Causing the death of a big part of the world’s coral. Oxybenzone, a common ingredient in sunscreens, has even been shown to feminize fish.

We have organic sunscreen for sale at the office if needed.

Help us save the world.

We do not ask for a tip, we feel our service will speak for itself and any tip will be greatly appreciated by the captain and crew. This guys work hard to get it. We pay good salaries, but tips is something they will work hard for.

This is totally up to you and how much you enjoyed the trip. Everyone has a different policy on tipping and anything will be graciously accepted.

FYI, some people think because the area is poorer, that the cost of living is less. This is not the case as almost everything is more expensive here, and the income level is much less on average, so tip as if you were on a tour in the States.

There will be taxis available. If needed we can have one waiting for you if you are on a cruise ship with a tight schedule.

We will ask if you require a taxi near the end of the trip, so we can arrange them.

We live off of our reputation, and the more people know about us, the better. Word of mouth goes a long way so please tell others. Our main goal is to have people live a unique experience and know what we do.
