We booked with Cozumel Sailing while looking for an alternative to a cruise ship sailing excursion. I researched this extensively and found quite a few catamaran trips with way too many people. I don’t enjoy a crowded boat. Cozumel sailing got 5 star reviews so we decided to go with them. I can only say that they far exceeded our expectations despite their glowing reviews. Jorge gave us a very nice orientation once we left the harbor. Safety is important to them and they make it clear that they really really want you to have a good time. For those so inclined, they will mix you all kinds of scrumptious alcoholic beverages right from the get go. We wanted to get some snorkeling in so decided to wait until after lunch. There is a chef and a mate. They start cooking shortly after departure and cooked for several hours while we motored to the reef at the Northern end of the island. (No wind at that point). The reef has a pretty good mix of fish and is shallow enough that you can easily swim down to the bottom for closer inspection. If you have a mask and snorkel at home; I would suggest taking them with you as the snorkels are fairly primitive. They work but almost any decent snorkel would be superior. That being said, the snorkeling is good. After that we motored over to a shallow sand bar, perhaps 4.5 feet deep. We hung out in the water for awhile. Then, an amazing lunch. There was wonderful grilled fish; then barbequed chicken, refried beans, tortillas, steak & chicken stirfry, and a chopped Italian salad. This with several beer options as well as excellent mixed drink options. Then the opportunity to swing out on the spinnaker. The wind had gradually been building and once the spinnaker was put away, they hoisted the sails and we had a lovely and relaxing sail back to the harbor. Our party of 5 all agreed that it was a 5 star experience. Our hats off to Jorge...
Read moreWe took the Tucan trip and it was the best day I can remember in a long time. Our guides were Jorge and Captain Juan. From the minute we got on the catamaran we were taken care of with the best service. We wanted to be out on the water and get to snorkel for a while, but we were treated with so many other great adventures. The snorkeling was great with beautiful water and views under. We were super excited when Jorge got out the spinnaker and we all got to take turns sailing above the water. Then as they let us off at a shallow sand bar to enjoy, Juan cooked us up a wonderful lunch. It was the best meal of the week. Jorge got off the boat and carried a tray full of our favorite drinks out from the boat in the water over to us on our sand bar. We enjoyed our lunch and then went on to see more of the beautiful ocean views. I can't say enough about the service. One of my friends lost her hat and Juan and Jorge turned the catamaran around and fished it out of the water. That was so fun to see. Overall, it was worth every penny and I would do it again in a heartbeat. We did this early February when COVID is a concern, but I had no concerns with the safety measures these people were taking. It was a...
Read moreI found this trip while doing a google search for Catamaran trips in Cozumel. After reading the reviews, I decided to book. Reserving was easy and super affordable. $90 a person and was totally worth it. The marina is a little past the airport. Was a little tricky to find but Karen gives excellent directions. Upon arriving to the marina, Dan and Karen greeted us and were very friendly and informative. The trip lasted about 5.5 hours. The boat was nice and I was with a relatively small group. I think what made this trip awesome was the crew. They were amazing, fun, helpful, and just down for a good time. They kept the drinks flowing for us and even prepared lunch for us. There was chips, pico de gallo, guac, steak tacos, grilled chicken, fish... And it was soooo good! We sailed out to this secluded beach that was so beautiful and hung out there for a bit.
We got to snorkel and a few of us even got to get on the spinnaker (if you don't know what this is, google it! It's awesome!) which was soooo fun! I can't stress enough how wonderful the crew was. I'd definitely recommend this trip to anyone! When I come back to Cozumel, I'm definitely booking another trip...
