Private snorkeling in Cozumel: 23ft or 24ft Sea Ray

The boat stops at El Cielo so the crew can cook while you're still in the water.

Private snorkeling in Cozumel on a 23ft or 24ft Sea Ray with a live English or Spanish-speaking guide. You'll snorkel two reef sites chosen by the captain for conditions that day, then anchor at El Cielo where the crew prepares food and beverages on board while you swim in crystalline water. The activity runs five hours and includes all snorkeling gear.

The experience

You meet the crew at an agreed starting point in San Miguel de Cozumel, then board the Sea Ray for a five-hour private snorkel. The captain picks the two reef sites based on weather and conditions: the reefs shift depending on wind and swell, so the best spots change day to day. Snorkeling equipment is provided and fitted on board.

The final stop is El Cielo, a shallow anchorage where the crew prepares food and refreshing beverages while you're still in the water. You stay in the crystalline Caribbean and eat and drink on the boat without having to leave the reef. Premium food and beverages are included and prepared fresh on board. The crew handles the cooking and service.

Choose between the 23ft Sea Ray (red hull, up to six passengers) or the 24ft Sea Ray (white hull, up to eight passengers). Both carry the same crew and follow the same itinerary. A live guide speaks English or Spanish throughout the activity.

What’s included

• Food and beverages prepared fresh on board.
• all snorkeling equipment including mask, fins and snorkel.
• a live guide in English or Spanish.
• use of the private 23ft or 24ft Sea Ray for the full five hours.

Is this one for you?Pick the 23ft Sea Ray if your group is up to six people and you want a tighter, more intimate boat. Choose the 24ft if you're bringing up to eight passengers and prefer a bit more deck space. Both boats follow the same route and reef stops, so the difference is group size and comfort on board.
