Cozumel Sailing

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 and his crew.
