Amazing boat experience - I can only say wonderful things about this company! The booking process was easy. We were running almost half an hour late (ferry issues) and they not only waited for us, but they also made sure to give us our full 4hours, which we did not expect at all. They were so friendly and kind, allowing us to fish and snorkel as we wished! Lastly they made us fresh pico de gallo, guacamole, and fruit! I highly recommend them, they were truly fantastic!

Great value for snorkel or dive trip! - Excellent way to spend a day! We did the half day boat charter with two tank dive option. The dive master was excellent and all equipment was in excellent shape. The boat was very clean and tidy. The captain drove the boat nicely- we napped on way back, it was so relaxing! I highly recommend doing this charter instead of the mass-packed boats. Everything was on time and it’s an easy 5$ cab ride from ferry. Highly recommend!

Great time snorkeling in Cozumel - Today we went out snorkeling with Luiz and Freddy from Beach Bum Cozumel. We had an awesome time and saw some amazing things. My favorite was the field of star fish. Amazing to see so many scattered along the ocean floor. Also the sting rays and El Cielo were super awesome and would swim super close. Luiz and Freddy were amazing. After we were done they made fresh guacamole and pico de Gallo. It was the best guacamole and pico that we have had during our week trip in Mexico. I will see if I can upload pics soon, but would recommend this to anybody looking to see some beautiful sights and great service 5 stars for sure.

Could have been better. - When booking the boat, we were planning some stops at beaches and the Palance beach club. It might have been better if the south beaches weren't closed due to high winds. I gave a 3 star review as I didn't feel the booking agency communicated our plans for the day and the crew and boat didn't seem willing to take us to the north side of the island where it was protected from the winds. We decided to fish for a couple hours, then tried stopping at a beach club that was too busy. After 1 stop for snorkeling, we decided to use the rest of the day for fishing and dropped off everyone not interested in fishing at the money Bar. We did catch a couple Mahi Mahi which was fun but only 3 out of 6 in our group was interested in fishing.

Busted on deep sea fishing off of Cozumel - The guides waited on us for a late arrival due to a forced yet unforeseen stay in Cancun the night before from a very tardy tourbus so it was much appreciated. However, we had very little communication from the captain or his assistant and they did little to try and catch more fish than just troll. I would not recommend this fishing trip in June or July. Maybe the fishing is better in the spring but these guys could have cared less. Not worth it!

Not worth the $ - This was a disappointing outing...we caught no fish...and while that would have been fine...it was really kind of boring...the guides did not speak English very well at all so it was just us sitting on a boat. One of the guides did make us delicious guacamole.

Deep sea fishing - It was basically an expensive boat ride. Met us late, returned us early. The first mate put four lines in the water, we traveled 2 hours South in the boat then turned around and traveled back. I would of thought “deep sea fishing” would of meant I would of at least cast a line and held a pole in attempt to catch a fish. We “caught” one fish as we towed the line. Did provide fresh pineapple and watermelon to snack. Would not recommend this trip.

Beach bum is a scam - We got ZERO notification prior to our arriving that the fishing trip had been cancelled. When we mentioned the name of the charter the LOCAL guys on the dock laughed. This company lost their own vessel and now sub out fishing charters. They have little control of if people will actually get a trip or not. Well.. we didn’t with them. Being on a cruise boat we had little time to find another charter but thankfully a guy who told us about all this took us out for four hours at a CHEAPER rate (again, these guys are middle men so they add a cut). Viator needs to cut ties with this Beach Bum company Immediately or lose credibility. I demand a refund.
