Your own private boat in Cozumel
First Lady is a private 29-foot Mako 284 charter in Cozumel — your own boat, captain and crew, for your group only. Choose a 4, 5, 6 or 8-hour charter depending on how much time you want on the water.
Your day is built around guided snorkeling inside Cozumel's Marine Park and time at the El Cielo sandbar. Depending on your charter duration, timing, conditions and what your group wants, the crew can adjust the pace where practical and may include reef areas such as Palancar or Colombia.
First Lady carries up to 10 guests. Snorkeling equipment, flotation vests, a fresh lunch, an open bar and Marine Park fees are all included, and there is shaded seating and a full stand-up marine toilet on board.
Bottom fishing can be added to the 5-hour or 6-hour charter for an additional $250 USD, with a maximum of 8 guests.
Guided snorkeling and the El Cielo sandbar
Your day is centered on snorkeling inside Cozumel's Marine Park and relaxing at El Cielo.
Snorkeling is guided by the crew, and snorkeling equipment and flotation vests are included — so guests who have never snorkeled before are looked after, and confident swimmers can simply get in the water.
Depending on your charter duration, timing, conditions and your group's interests, the crew can adjust the pace where practical and may include reef areas such as Palancar or Colombia.

The itinerary and snorkeling locations may vary depending on charter duration, conditions and Marine Park regulations.

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!

100% recommend!!
We had a group of 9 with a cruise ship port day to spend in Cozumel. We had fantastic communication and absolutely no issues even when our cruise port time had changed. It was a very easy taxi ride to the marina. We were taken to an excellent snorkeling spot where we were allowed to spend as much time as we wanted. We were then taken to a fantastic sand bar area where the afternoon was spent with drinks and the most amazing tasting fish and shrimp. I would 100% recommend this company and will certainly consider booking them again if the opportunity arises.

Excellent Day with First Lady Charters
We had a phenomenal trip today with the crew from First Lady charters. Despite the very windy conditions, my wife and I caught several nice mahi mahi. When we were done fishing we went to the sand bar at Passion Island for swimming, drinks a great lunch. The crew made fresh ceviche from our mahi mahi and grilled some as well. This would be perfect for anyone looking to get away from the overcrowded snorkeling boats where they cram you onto their rickety boats like cattle. The boat and all their gear is absolutely first rate. If you are going to Cozumel and want a great day on the water, book a trip with First Lady. You will be glad you did.
