The glassy hull hums as the transparent boat slips away from the dock, turquoise water folding silently beneath a clear viewing corridor. Passengers lean forward, eyes grazing coral gardens through a lens of air and glass, while the sun above pricks at the surface and bright schools flash like confetti. This two-hour excursion around Cozumel packs a compact sea story: a slow, deliberate ride to shallow reefs, a close inspection of sunken vessels, and a guided snorkel in water that often reads as clear as a photographed postcard.

Adventure Tips
Arrive early to check in
The meeting point is ENVATOURS Cozumel; arrive 15 minutes early to get fitted for snorkel gear and hear the safety briefing.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply biodegradable sunscreen before boarding to protect corals and reduce oily runoff into the water.
Bring seasickness remedies if needed
Take preventative medication at least 30–60 minutes before departure; morning sailings tend to be calmer.
Protect your camera
Use a waterproof case or dry pouch — the transparent hull yields unique photo angles but gear can still get wet.
