Private Catamaran Cozumel
Palancar Reef · El Cielo · El Cielito · Open Bar · Marina Asipona
This private catamaran charter departs from Marina Asipona in Cozumel — a short walk from the main cruise ship pier. The vessel, La Yoya (PDQ 36ft), is operated by our vetted specialist charter partner with over a decade of Cozumel sailing experience. For the full duration of your charter, the boat, crew, and bar are exclusively yours — no shared decks, no other guests. For all island and sailing options, see our All Island Tours.
Cozumel's reef system is the reason to choose this charter over a mainland departure. The 5-hour and above options visit three distinct sites: Palancar Reef — one of the most vivid coral formations in the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef; El Cielo — a calm bay where green sea turtles and starfish are regularly encountered in shallow water; and El Cielito — a shallow, crystal-clear beach with gentle stingrays. The 4-hour option visits Cardona Reef and Fury Beach. All charters include snorkeling gear, paddle board, floaties, and a floating mat.
Cruise passengers arriving at the International Pier can arrange a same-day private charter — Marina Asipona is adjacent to the pier. For pre-booked groups, we recommend confirming at least 48 hours in advance to secure your preferred duration and departure time.
Food and bar escalate with duration. The open bar is included in every charter. The 3-hour includes fruit plate, pico de gallo, guacamole, and quesadillas. The 4-hour adds shrimp ceviche. The 5-hour and above add chicken fajitas, healthy snacks, and a surprise dessert. Upgrades including Moët & Chandon, Casamigos, and Don Julio Blanco are available on request.
Comparing Cozumel tour options?
This charter is boat-first with open bar, crew, and snorkel stops on longer durations. For a reef-focused snorkel day with hotel pickup from the mainland, see the Cozumel snorkeling tour. For a flexible island day with town time, compare the private Cozumel day trip.
For a mainland option or sunset sailing, see the private catamaran Cancun / Riviera Maya charter — that vessel (Double Trouble, Seawind 36ft) departs from Puerto Aventuras and covers the Riviera Maya coast.
