Cozumel All Inclusive: Coast & Relax 4h on 51′ Leopard
Book on Viator →Operated by The Yacht Experiences · Bookable on Viator
Four hours on a yacht, no stress. Coast & Relax gives you a private yacht charter out of Fonatur Marina with an all-inclusive premium bar plus snorkel-and-float time built into the block. I like that you can actually spread out on board and let the crew handle the details, and I also like that lunch and snacks are part of the package so your time stays easy. The main thing to consider is the cost: it’s priced per group, and dock fees plus optional add-ons can nudge your total upward.
This runs about 4 hours on a 51-foot Leopard, sized for up to 10 people, so it feels like your own floating hangout. It uses a mobile ticket and the experience is offered in English, which helps if you want straightforward communication without extra planning.

Why a 51-foot Leopard charter feels different in Cozumel
Cozumel is known for water fun, but most half-day boat trips turn into a line of instructions and quick stops. This one is built around the opposite vibe: you spend the 4 hours on a bigger yacht, with enough room to do nothing on purpose.
The ship itself is a 51-foot Leopard, and the layout matters for comfort. There’s a flybridge where you can sunbathe, and there’s also shade in a lounge area when you want a break from the sun. That mix is what makes the charter work for different ages and energy levels. One person can be in “watch the horizon” mode while someone else is in “let me check the snorkel gear again” mode.
Also, because it’s private for your group, you’re not stuck waiting for the pace of strangers. You can spend longer floating, or you can switch gears faster if your group wants more swimming than lounging.

A 4-hour rhythm on the water (what to expect, realistically)
You’ll depart from Marina Cozumel ASIPONACarr. (Zona Hotelera Sur, Km 6.5) and return back there at the end. Within that window, you can expect a typical pattern of:
- settling in after departure and getting set with water gear
- time in the water for snorkeling and casual swimming
- enjoying lunch and snacks onboard
- more free water time with inflatables or paddleboards
- returning when your 4 hours wrap up
One detail I appreciate is how the experience is designed for flexibility. If conditions feel rough, you may see the crew adjust what they planned so the day still stays fun and safe. I’ve seen yacht days like this go sideways when people are committed to one exact spot, and that’s not the way this crew seems to run it.
The underwater part is the draw, but the ship-time matters too. Cozumel’s coastline and the sea around it are part of the experience, not just the reef. Even if snorkeling isn’t your whole plan, the scenery, the sun, and the relaxed schedule still make the trip feel like a real outing instead of a rushed transfer.
All-inclusive lunch and premium bar: the part you’ll remember
The best value on this charter isn’t just the yacht. It’s that food and drinks are included, and they’re served onboard with a chef and bartender.
What’s included
You get:
- lunch
- snacks
- premium alcoholic beverages from the onboard bar
- starter snacks as part of the menu options
The à la carte menu choices
You choose items per group (so you’re not stuck with only one option). Based on the sample menu, you might see starters like:
- seasonal fruit, Mayan guacamole, hummus, esquites, and a mini cocktail starter
- plus additional snacks where you pick two per group, such as salmon mousse, serrano ham tapas, caprese brochette, traditional nachos, spicy potatoes, chicken skewers, or provoleta
For the main course, you choose one per group from options that include:
- traditional ceviche, Peruvian ceviche, causa limeña
- sashimi, sushi, rolls, nigiris
- or a selection centered on seafood
Then lunch can also include sandwiches where you choose two per group, with options like shrimp tacos, chapata, buffalo wings, portobello hamburger, choripán, empanadas, burrito, and falafel.
Dessert options include cheesecake, chocolat brownie, chocolat covered strawberries, strawberries mousse, and alfajores.
How that turns into a better day for you
Food that’s part of the package does two useful things:
- You don’t waste time hunting lunch on a schedule that never matches the water time.
- You avoid the “we’re hungry and everyone’s grumpy” problem that hits on boats.
I’d also go in ready to eat. Past groups have described the food as plentiful and the service as attentive, which lines up with the menu structure here. If your group likes to snack and share plates, this format usually works well.
Snorkeling gear, SUPs, and inflatables: how to make the 4 hours count
This is one of the key reasons the charter works for mixed groups. You’re not locked into one activity.
You get snorkeling equipment, and you also have access to inflatables and paddleboards (SUPs). In plain terms: you can do a real swim with gear, or you can just float, lounge, and try the board without pressure.
My practical advice for using the toys
- If you’re bringing different comfort levels (kids, non-swimmers, strong swimmers), start with the easiest option first—floating and inflatables—then shift to snorkeling if everyone’s feeling good.
- If you want photos, do your sun time earlier in the day before people get full and drowsy from lunch.
- If you care more about exploring than lounging, treat snorkeling as the main block and use SUPs/inflatables for shorter breaks.
Because Cozumel is all about water, having multiple ways to play helps you dodge the weather mood. If the sea is a little choppy, you might keep it casual with floating and still feel like the day delivered.
Crew service you can feel: attentive, friendly, and sometimes funny
A big part of yacht comfort is how the crew runs the flow: towels, snacks, drink refills, and quick help when someone needs a hand with gear. This experience is designed for that kind of high-touch service, and the names you might see associated with the crew include Emma and José, along with people like Ica, Raul, Vincente, Ricky, and Saxon.
You’re aiming for two things on a charter:
- Safety and calm handling (especially if seas pick up)
- A smooth rhythm so your group doesn’t have to manage the day
The crew style here has a reputation for being friendly and accommodating, and that matters when you’re doing water activities and food service at the same time. Also, if the plan changes due to sea conditions, you want a crew that communicates clearly and keeps you moving toward a good experience instead of forcing a checklist.
Price and what you truly get for a group up to 10
Let’s talk money in a way that’s actually useful.
- Price: $3,650.00 per group
- Group size: up to 10 people
- Duration: about 4 hours
At first glance, it’s a high number. But when you treat it like a private yacht cost shared across a group, the value shifts. You’re not paying for a “seat.” You’re paying for a whole private experience with:
- premium alcoholic beverages included
- lunch and snacks
- snorkeling equipment
- inflatables and SUP access
- onboard chef and bartender service
What’s not included (and can matter for your final budget):
- Private transportation
- a 10% service and maintenance fee
- dock fee: $20.00 per person
- optional tender activity: El Cielo (Lancha Tender) up to 6 people for $550 USD
So the real “value check” for you is this: do you have 6–10 people who will actually use the water toys, eat the included lunch, and enjoy the premium bar? If yes, this tends to pencil out as a strong deal versus piecing together separate boat time, lunch, gear rental, and drinks.
If you’re only 2–4 people, it can still be special, but you’ll want to compare it against other Cozumel boat options that cost less for smaller groups. The best match is when you can spread the group price and turn it into a full-on day.
Meeting point at Marina Cozumel ASIPONACarr.: simple, but arrive ready
The charter starts at Marina Cozumel ASIPONACarr. (Carr. Costera Sur Km 6.5, Zona Hotelera Sur, 77675 Cozumel) and ends back at the same point.
You’ll get a mobile ticket, and the experience is listed as near public transportation. That’s helpful if you’re staying in the hotel zone and don’t want to overthink getting to the dock.
Practical move: build in buffer time so your group isn’t late and stressed. On yacht trips, everyone does better when the start is calm.
Who should book Coast & Relax, and who might not love it
This charter is a good fit if you want:
- a private day in Cozumel with room to relax
- snorkel time plus extra water toys
- a bachelorette-style outing or quality family time where you can shape the mood
- food and drinks handled onboard so you spend your energy on enjoying the sea
It’s also a smart choice if your group has mixed preferences. Some people want to snorkel, others want to float and watch the water, and the yacht layout plus included toys makes it work without compromise.
Who might skip it:
- If you only want a quick swim and don’t care about premium food or drinks, you may prefer a cheaper, more basic boat option.
- If your group expects long shore time on land, this charter is a water-first experience, so set expectations accordingly.
That said, the “spread out and relax” design is exactly what people come to Cozumel for, and this format makes it easier.
Should you book this yacht charter?
I’d book Coast & Relax if your group wants a true private water day with included lunch, a premium bar, and real time to use snorkeling plus SUPs and inflatables. The price makes more sense when you fill enough spots and actually use the included perks.
I’d think twice if you’re traveling as a small group and don’t plan to take advantage of the food-and-drink portion or the extra water gear. In that case, the base rate is harder to justify.
If you do book, aim to come hungry, bring the right sun protection, and treat the 4 hours like a floating reset. It’s the kind of Cozumel experience where the success is simple: you relax, you swim, you eat, and the crew takes care of the rest.
