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!

Good experience, hard to connect with initially; but great once we left the dock - Thursday 09 April 2025
Good experience.
Booked excursion through Trip Advisor. Locally= Adventure Planet Cozumel/Beach Bum. Contact name =Griselda.
Very nice, large comfortable boat called Acquisition. Well stocked, extremely friendly crew. Captain Tony and mate Manuel were knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Their English was good. We did 1/3 ‘deep sea’ trolling (caught nothing), 1/3 ‘reef’ bottom fishing (caught 5 yellow fin snapper, they were delicious), and 1/3 snorkeling. Fun!
We did a half day boat from Caleta marina and we were there before 8am, our scheduled time.
The only issue was- we were not provided the name of the boat ahead of time. We were given the excursion provider name of Adventure Planet Cozumel/Beach Bum @Caleta marina as the meeting point. This did not end up enough. The marina was gated and the ‘guard’ had never heard of Adventure Planet Cozumel or Beach Bum Cozumel. We weren’t given a local phone number for the boat crew in advance. My phone reception @Caleta was spotty. It was difficult to connect with the proper boat/staff. We lost some time for our excursion trying to find the proper place (boat’) to catch.
Again, once we connected, it was great. Would be 5stars, but I have to take one star away for the excursion not providing enough info for us to connect efficiently. So 4 stars.
I ended up having my taxi drive around the marina just looking/asking for my excursion. Eventually, after some stress at not finding where I needed to be, I did encounter Griselda.
The gate guard had a clipboard but my name was not on his ‘list’ for that day. That could have been helpful.
My advice- if you use this excursion, get the name of the boat in Advance (there are 100+ boats in the marina. The locals know the names of the boats). And get the phone number of the boat crew, to facilitate easier initial connecting

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.
