Will absolutely be returning
Luis and Mario were the best! Very professional and courteous. The boat was bigger than the pictures indicated and my kids, who are not the most coordinated, were able to walk around easily during the whole trip. During the snorkel portion we saw sharks, turtles, schools of fish and some of the biggest lobsters I've ever seen. The sandbar they took us to had the clearest water and it was shallow enough for even my four year old to stand in. The whole experience was a 10/10 and we will definitely be coming back to Cozumel if only to take this boat tour again.
Operator response
Dear Christopher,
Thank you very much for sharing such a thoughtful review of your experience with First Lady Charters Cozumel.
We are very happy to hear that Luis and Mario took great care of your family and made everyone feel comfortable throughout the charter. It is especially meaningful to know that your children were able to move around easily and enjoy the boat, the snorkeling, and the shallow sandbar. Seeing sharks, turtles, schools of fish, and those impressive lobsters is exactly the kind of Cozumel marine life experience we hope our guests get to enjoy.
We truly appreciate your kind words and your 10/10 rating. Knowing that you would return to Cozumel just to take this tour again means a lot to our entire team.
Thank you again for choosing First Lady Charters Cozumel. We would be very happy to welcome you and your family back on board anytime.

Best day on the water!
Highlight of our trip. Boat held all 13 of us with plenty of room. Great food. Awesome captain and crew. Got us back to port in time to catch our cruise. Highly recommend. (Minor issue with the bathroom and the sliding door so the boat could use a little repair but we stayed outside most of the time so it was fine.)

Cruise shore excursion in May, cloudy skies, but no regrets!
We booked this charter as a cruise shore excursion for our family the last week of May. The weather did not look very good at first but we decided to make the most of it and we are so thankful we did! The rain and storms held off but it was overcast. The crew of the Nemo was so amazing and made up for the lack of sun 100%! If I could give them 10 stars, I would. The snorkeling locations they took us to were so good and we saw sooo many beautiful coral, fish, sting rays, and an eel. My 8 yo son struggled to snorkel in the choppy waters in Belize and Costa Maya but the water was calmer in Cozumel and hardly any sargassum. He was so excited to finally see what the rest of us had enjoyed in other locations. The snorkeling guide from our crew keep us close together and made sure we saw the barracudas, interesting fish, the eel, and sting rays. The weather did not allow us to go to the famous sand bar but we anchored near a beach to swim and the kids played on the large floating mat. The crew prepared a fantastic lunch for us and we all are still raving over how delicious it was. I could not imagine spending the day in Cozumel any other way. It was an experience of a lifetime!
Operator response
Thank you so much, Jessica! We are truly happy your family had such a great day with us, even with the cloudy weather. The Nemo crew will be very proud to read your kind words. We are especially glad your son finally got to enjoy calm snorkeling in Cozumel and see so much marine life. Thank you for trusting First Lady Charters Cozumel for your cruise shore excursion — we would love to welcome you back anytime!

Best private boat ! So worth it !!
This boat was amazing. Our guides were unmatched. The boat is beautiful, large, guides thru the water. Lunch was 5 stars. Our guide Luis swam us to the best snorkel areas. It's a 6 hour experience worth every penny. When we return to Cozumel we are definitely taking The Nemo again .
Operator response
Thank you for the great review and for choosing First Lady Charters Cozumel. We’re glad you enjoyed the Nemo, the food, and the overall experience. Luis and the crew will really appreciate the mention—showing guests the best snorkel spots is what they do best. We look forward to welcoming you back on board with First Lady Charters on your next visit to Cozumel.

Highlight of our trip
Here’s a polished, glowing review you can post:
---
We had the most incredible experience on this 6-hour catamaran tour! From start to finish, the entire staff was absolutely amazing, so welcoming, attentive, and genuinely fun. Especially luis. You could tell they truly love what they do, and it made the whole day even more special.
The food was beyond delicious, fresh fruit, ceviche, perfectly cooked fish, flavorful chicken fajitas, guacamole, quesadillas, and the best hot sauce ever. Everything tasted fresh and homemade. The drinks were fantastic and kept coming, and the overall vibe was the perfect mix of chill and fun. We could relax, laugh, dance, and soak up the sunshine all at once.
The snorkeling was so much fun. We saw so much marine life: colorful fish, a shark, lobster, sting rays, turtles, eels, and even starfish! The sand bar was so beautiful!!
I cannot recommend this experience enough. If you're thinking about booking it, do it. It was hands down one of the highlights of our trip! 🌊☀️🍹
Operator response
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Kelly! We’re truly happy to hear that your day aboard Catamaran Nemo was a highlight of your trip. Luis and the entire crew will be thrilled to know their service, food, and energy made such a great impression. It means a lot to us that you enjoyed the snorkeling, El Cielo, and the relaxed yet fun atmosphere we always aim to create.
We hope to welcome you back on board the next time you visit Cozumel! 🌊☀️

This trip was amazing. We...
This trip was amazing. We were a mixed family of 12 and it had something for everyone. The trip and views are beautiful but the crew really made this trip even better! The weather was windier than normal and the crew was amazing at pivoting and finding better/calmer locations for snorkeling and the kids to play and relax. Lunch was the best food we had our entire trip. Would highly recommend for any kind of group!
Operator response
Dear Jenna,
Thank you for taking the time to share this. We’re very glad the charter worked well for your mixed family group — that’s exactly what a private 47 ft catamaran experience should deliver.
Wind can always be a factor here, and I’m pleased our crew adjusted the plan and found calmer spots so everyone could enjoy the snorkeling and time in the water comfortably. That flexibility is one of the key advantages of a private charter.
I’ll make sure the team hears your feedback about the lunch as well — they take pride in doing things properly.
We appreciate the recommendation and would be happy to welcome your family back anytime.
Warm regards,
First Lady Charters Cozumel

Worth every penny!
Highlight of our trip! We booked for a family trip of 21 people(aged 9months to 72 years) and everyone had an amazing time. The crew was fantastic and constantly checked to ensure we had everything we needed. The lunch provided was delicious, and the snorkel and sandbar stop was a blast.
Operator response
Thank you, Joanna! We’re thrilled to hear your entire family had such a great experience with First Lady Charters Cozumel. The crew will be happy to know their service, the lunch, snorkeling, and El Cielo stop made your trip a highlight. We truly appreciate you choosing us and hope to welcome you back again!

Perfect Day in Cozumel
Our group of 14 adults had a fantastic day with the Nemo Crew. The food they prepared was perfect, they consistently made sure we had a drink refill and brought us to fantastic snorkeling and swimming spots. They even let us connect to their Bluetooth so we could play our own music.
Operator response

Staff were amazing....
Staff were amazing. Attentive, friendly, and fun. There were lots of little details that made it seem more personal than a generic catamaran cruise. Snorkeling is guided so that they make sure you see the reefs. Food was delicious!
Operator response
Thank you for your kind words! We're glad you enjoyed the personal touches, guided snorkeling, and our food service. It was a pleasure having you on board, and we hope to welcome you back to First Lady Charters soon.
