The experience

What makes this different from a standard group boat tour is that you're renting the whole vessel. The 36 ft Fjord holds a maximum of 10 people, so whether you're traveling as a couple, a family or a small group, nobody else is on board. The captain and crew know Cozumel's reefs and beaches well enough to steer you toward the quietest spots: Palancar Reef gets chosen based on conditions and crowd levels on the day you go, and Playa El Cielo is the kind of shallow turquoise water where you can wade and snorkel without fighting for space. Punta Sur Eco Beach Park rounds out the route, approached by water so you see the natural landscape without the walk.

The boat arrives stocked before you board. Snorkeling equipment is ready to use. The bar holds JW Black label whiskey, Maestro Tequilero tequila, Belvedere vodka, Habana 7 rum, three types of beer, sodas and water. The kitchen prepares guacamole, seasonal fruit, fresh vegetables and snacks throughout the day, and the main course is catch-of-the-day ceviche and tuna sashimi. The operator's claim is that this is the best ceviche you'll get in your life. A restroom is on board, and the crew can extend your time on the water if you ask the captain. The 6-hour booking is a baseline, not a hard stop.

You'll need to bring your own sunglasses, camera and iPod if you want to capture the day. Organic sunscreen is recommended to protect the reef. If you don't have it, the office sells it for $10 USD. The boat departs from the marina office in Cozumel, where you'll check in before walking to the vessel. Children and infants are welcome. Infants must sit on an adult's lap, and the boat is suitable for all fitness levels. The guide speaks English and Spanish, so language won't be a barrier to customizing your route or asking questions about what you're seeing.
