Your private catamaran day in Cozumel
Catamaran Nemo is a 47-foot Nautitech chartered privately for your group only, for six hours on the water in Cozumel. Up to 30 guests can come aboard, which makes Nemo a practical choice for families, groups of friends and celebrations that want to stay together on one boat.
The standard destination is El Cielo, and snorkeling is guided by the crew. Because the charter is private, the pace and sequence of the day can be adapted where practical to your group and to the conditions on the day.
A fresh lunch is prepared on board during the charter, and an open bar is included. Marine park fees are included in the charter price.
Snorkeling, El Cielo and a day built around your group
The standard Nemo charter is a six-hour private trip centered on Cozumel's Marine Park and El Cielo.
Depending on conditions, timing and your group's interests, the day may include snorkeling around Palancar Reef and Colombia Reef, followed by time at El Cielo and El Cielito.
Because the charter is private, the crew can adjust the pace and sequence where practical. Some groups want more snorkeling; others prefer more time swimming, relaxing on board or enjoying the sandbar.
Important: Weather, sea conditions, safety, Marine Park regulations and timing can affect the route. No individual reef, wildlife sighting or stop can be guaranteed.
Guided snorkeling
Snorkeling equipment and flotation vests are available, and snorkeling is guided by the crew.
Cozumel's reefs are home to tropical fish, rays, turtles and other marine life, but sightings vary naturally from day to day.
Space and comfort on a 47-foot private catamaran
Nemo is one of Cozumel's most spacious private catamarans, with room for guests to spread out between stops.
On board:
The cabins are operational areas and are not for guest use.
Towels are not provided, so please bring your own.

A private catamaran for families, celebrations and larger groups
Nemo works especially well for multigenerational families, groups of friends, birthdays, celebrations and larger private parties that want to stay together on one boat.
The combination of open deck space, shade, an indoor air-conditioned salon, two separate marine bathrooms and a private itinerary makes the charter practical for groups with different interests and energy levels.
“We booked for a family trip of 21 people (aged 9 months to 72 years) and everyone had an amazing time. The crew was fantastic… The lunch provided was delicious, and the snorkel and sandbar stop was a blast.”

Getting to Your Private Charter
Helpful arrival information for cruise guests, ferry visitors and guests meeting us directly at the marina.
Arriving by Cruise Ship
The six-hour Nemo charter works with the vast majority of Cozumel cruise calls.
All charter times are based on Cozumel local time, which may differ from your ship's onboard time.
If your port schedule requires a shorter window, the Nemo charter can be shortened to five hours at the same charter price. This is a scheduling adjustment for cruise guests, not a separate public five-hour product.
If your port schedule is unusually tight, contact us before booking so we can discuss the timing.
Coming from Playa del Carmen / Riviera Maya by Ferry
If you are arriving in Cozumel by ferry, continue from the downtown ferry terminal to Marina ASIPONA/FONATUR by taxi.
Guests arrange and pay for their own transportation to and from the marina.
Downtown ferry terminal → Marina ASIPONA/FONATUR: about 10 minutes by taxi.
Exact ferry schedules and local directions can be checked separately for your travel date.

A Fabulous Day!!
What a fabulous day. The catamaran was well equipped and maintained. The crew were lovely, always asking what else they could bring for us. Always ensuring everyone was having a great time. They provided a large variety of sodas, beers, and made delicious mixed drinks for us. The food was fantastic! All prepared on the catamaran and such a large variety of options to choose from. The best day on our trip!! We travel a lot and we’re very impressed! Thank you for a wonderful day!!

The Best Snorkel Trip in Cozumel
We were taken care of from the moment we stepped on the boat until we stepped off. The crew and Captain were very helpful and made the trip full of what we wanted to do. We had snorkeled the major sites so we were open to something different. The captain took us to the southern end of Cozumel where the lighthouse is. That was wonderful. We then snorkeled and saw rays and a beautiful fan coral garden. It was spectacular! Lunch was hotel level with grilled snapper, shrimp, chicken fajitas, ceviche and fresh local fruit. We spent another hour bobbing in the water with margaritas. We headed back to the marina after bobbing.

Wonderful Crew and day on the Nemo.
Our family visited Cozumel during a cruise ship port day. We had chartered the Nemo Catamaran with Jorge, Miguel and ????. We were unaware of the time change and inadvertently showed up an hourly early. The crew was already on board preparing for our arrival. Within 15 minutes they were ready to go. Their flexibility and willingness to adjust to our mishap was greatly appreciated. The crew was attentive and made every aspect of our day trip enjoyable. Our snorkeling stop was awesome, got to see sea turtles and tons of fish. We then cruised to a sandbar where they prepared the best meal of our entire trip. The fish, shrimp, ceviche, fruit, and cocktails were all absolutely delicious. I cannot recommend this ship and crew enough. Perfect for a cruise ship excursion!
