This was our favorite...

This was our favorite part of the trip and maybe the best excursion I've ever done. The crew was amazing and went above and beyond to make sure we were having a great time. We got to fish, snorkel and chill on the sandbar with the string rays.
Best time

We had the best time with the crew. We snorkeled at Punta Sur and 2 other places and saw turtles and rays. The staff was great and the food they fixed was very delicious. It was the best snorkel trip we have been on.
Best trip ever!

We have been coming to Cozumel for the last 15 years. This is by far the best boat trip we have did. We snorkeled Punta Sur, a place where there was turtles and a sandbar where there was rays. The staff was super friendly and helpful. They made us lunch and Margaritas. It was a perfect day!
Our best shore excursion in Cozumel!

We had an amazing time with the "First Lady" and her crew. We were allowed to "choose our own adventure" to an extent with regards to fishing and snorkeling. The crew helped all of us fish and what we caught was later used to make lunch. We had an amazing time snorkeling and got to see a lot of ocean wildlife. The El Cielo sandbar is a special place, and we had a fantastic lunch prepared by the crew. After we got back on our cruise ship, our son asked if we could book them again the next time we are in Cozumel, and we absolutely will! This was our 3rd time to Cozumel, and it was our best experience yet.
An excursion full of memories

The First Lady boat charter experience did not disappoint. There were 9 of us, all family, and everyone had a great time. From the moment we met our crew- Jairo the Captain, Luis the First Mate and Cristian the Second Mate, we knew we were in for a treat. We first set off to deeper water where we were invited to fish for a while. Our group caught two fish, which was used later in the day for our lunch (more to come about the food). We then headed to another location to snorkel. None of us brought our own gear, as most of the family had never snorkeled before. They provided everyone who wanted to snorkel a mask (no flippers) and many of our group also asked for a tie on floating device. Besides seeing fish while snorkeling we saw a couple of large sea turtles as well as a spotted Eagle Ray, which was amazing. Cristian stayed in the water with us the whole time and pointed out things for us to see. He also had a round floating buoy so if someone was tired he would bring the floatation device to them. After snorkeling we headed to the sandbar where you can get out of the boat and stand in waist deep water- which is really nice for those who weren’t swimmers. While we were on the sandbar we were able to interact with DOZENS of sting rays, it was a highlight for sure. While we played on the sandbar the crew put together the most amazing food, the captain is quite the chef. He grilled the fish we caught earlier in the day and also made fresh ceviche, yum yum yum. We also had fruit and guacamole and chips. I should also mention the drinks!! Lois made the best margarita we’ve ever had, seriously-he said it’s his grandmother’s recipe! They also had plenty of sodas, water and beer, so there were options for everyone. If we come back to Cozumel you can believe we will book this excursion again, it was the best day we all had during our week-long cruise! Thank you First Lady!
Terrific Private Snorkeling Trip

Our family and another family (total of 10 people, including 5 teenagers) had an amazing time. They quickly brought us to one of the best snorkeling spots at the tail end of Cozumel, where we were the only boat. We saw beautiful fish, rays, turtles, a shark, lobsters and crabs--in crystal clear water. Plus, they made a fantastic lunch of shrimp ceviche, grilled shrimp, fresh guac and fruit. They had 3 guides for our group of 10, One of the guides knew where all the fish were.
Fabulous

Great day on the water. We fished first. The captain and crew then prepared a delicious lunch while we snorkeled. It was fantastic all around!
