Overview

Board our spacious and elegantly appointed catamaran, conveniently located just minutes from your port in Cozumel, and enjoy a scenic sail along the island’s magnificent turquoise coastline. Feel the warm ocean breeze, relax in the sun, and let our professional crew take care of every detail while you enjoy a worry-free shore excursion perfectly timed to your cruise schedule.

Your first stops are the legendary reefs of Colombia Reef and Palancar Reef, part of the spectacular Mesoamerican Barrier Reef. These crystal-clear waters are renowned for their vibrant coral formations and extraordinary marine life. With expert guides leading the way, you’ll snorkel safely among colorful tropical fish, graceful rays, and sea turtles in one of the Caribbean’s most celebrated underwater playgrounds. Whether you’re a first-time snorkeler or experienced explorer, this is Cozumel at its finest.

Next, we sail to the crown jewel of the island — El Cielo. Meaning “The Sky,” El Cielo is famous for its crystal-clear, shallow waters and starfish-dotted sandy bottom. The brilliant turquoise hues and natural sandbar create a vast, calm swimming pool perfect for relaxing, floating, and soaking in paradise.

While you unwind in this postcard-perfect setting, enjoy our open bar featuring refreshing beverages, along with fresh seasonal fruit, delicious snacks, and our signature freshly prepared fish ceviche.

Your adventure concludes with a scenic sail to The Money Bar Beach Club, one of Cozumel’s most iconic oceanfront spots. Here, you’ll step into a vibrant yet laid-back Caribbean atmosphere, perfect for unwinding before returning to your ship.

Relax on comfortable beach lounge chairs beneath shaded umbrellas while enjoying curated music and premium beachfront amenities, including luxury air-conditioned restrooms, refreshing showers, complimentary snorkel equipment, kayaks, and paddleboards — all designed to enhance your seaside experience.

Indulge in authentic Mexican cuisine, fresh seafood, and handcrafted cocktails (food and beverages at The Money Bar are not included).

This exclusive shore experience seamlessly combines snorkeling, sailing, relaxation, and refined beach club comfort — an exceptional way to make the most of your day in Cozumel.
