Fabulous day out - Myself and 3 friends went out for the day with captain Luis and deckhand Christian and we all agreed that the day was exceptional. They both went out of their way to ensure we had the best day possible. The food was excellent and their service was above and beyond. Christian took us snorkelling and pointed out things we would not have seen on our own (and I grew up in northern Queensland Australia and would have happily gone on my own without thinking I needed a guide). Lunch was fresh and delicious and beautifully presented and I don’t think anyone had an empty drink all day. We can all highly recommend this day out if you travel to Cozumel or Playa del Carmen

Absolutely Perfect! - This was an absolutely amazing experience! My husband and I were traveling with our three kids and three nephews ages 28, 24, 21, 18, 16, and 14. Everyone absolutely loved it. While snorkeling we saw several sea turtles and a good selection of fish. We also had an extended time with three stingrays circling around and between us. The guides cooked for us right on the boat and we were all blown away by the food. Beverages were readily available and appreciated. Easy taxi ride to and from the international cruise port. Would highly recommend the First Lady and her crew. We saw other tour boats out on the water and they were packed. After being on a cruise ship with a ton of people and loud music, it was so nice to just be the eight of us. Very peaceful.

Great for a large group to have a private ezperience - Best experience! Cab ride was $20 for 8 of us to get to the private marina from the port. We had 4 teens and 4 adults and fun was had by all. Three people on the boat to make your food, fix your drinks, drive, and snorkel with you to show you all the best spots. Personal and worth it.

5 stars for everything! - The crew and service was great! They were very accommodating to us and even for a food allergy. We saw a ton of sealife snorkeling and the guide was great at pointing everything out. Nothing bad to say! Food, drinks and service was awesome! Sandbar was great.

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!

So glad we went for it and took this excursion! - You won’t be disappointed! Easy 5 min ride via taxi to the marina ($20). There were 8 of us ranging in age from 14-50, and we all had a great time. Listened to music as we sped off to all the spots. They have beer, soft drinks, margaritas as you’re cruising. We went fishing and caught a few fish despite the wind and choppy waters. Went to the snorkeling spot and saw starfish, sea turtles and other tropical fish. Water is about 7 ft deep but we ended up asking for the floaty devices that go around your waist as we were struggling in the choppy water and it just made it easier having it and snorkeling. The guys on the boat make sure you’re comfortable and they are in the water with you. Afterwards, we went to the sandbar and swam and walked on the beach while the crew made an amazing lunch of ceviche, guac, fresh fruit and shrimp and fish. It was sooo good. We also saw stingrays as we were getting back on the boat. Just know that you need to put on sunscreen before you get on the boat and you can’t reapply afterwards. Half of us got too much sun but those of us who had on swim shirts and hats did great. My husband was skeptical and worried and I reassured him it would be fine based on all the reviews. It was worth it and better than what we could find from the cruise ship- give it a try!!

Great Experience--Would Happily Book Again! - We had such a wonderful time on the First Lady! The crew was absolutely amazing even when the weather was cooperating. We arrived quite early for our charter, but the crew didn't blink an eye--just let us know the Captain would be another 15 minutes and then we could head out early, and in the meantime just hang out in the shade and get ready--wonderful that they were able to pivot to take us out a bit early! Conditions didn't allow us to follow the planned itinerary as El Cielo was closed and the current kept us from hitting the planned beach. The crew quickly pivoted and still gave us a great experience--visiting two other reefs that we thoroughly enjoyed. We got to see a lot of wildlife--including barracudas, trigger fish, and stingrays--and got to swim in the midst of several schools of fish. It was one of the best snorkel experiences we've had and it wasn't even the "good" reef! Conditions didn't let us get any fishing in, but the crew managed to get us on the sandbar (not as easy as one might think since the current seemed stronger than normal). We got lots of time to relax in the water and play while they cooked up lunch. The lunch that the crew cooked was also incredible--trigger fish filets, snapper ceviche, guacamole, tortillas, and fresh fruit. The teenagers who all "don't like fish" each ate heartily commenting about how good the food was and how they didn't know fish could be that good.
