Overview

Step aboard Cozumel's only fully transparent "invisible" boat and glide over vibrant Caribbean reefs without ever getting wet—perfect for seeing tropical fish, stingrays, and coral gardens up close through the crystal-clear hull.

Your small-group tour (max 15) cruises to prime spots like Columbia Reef, Palancar Reef, and Villa Blanca Wall, with the option to jump in and snorkel (gear provided) if you want to swim among the marine life. Relax on deck with bottled water and sodas as your captain points out colorful schools of fish and other underwater wonders, all while enjoying panoramic views of the sea from every angle.

This 1-hour 35-minute adventure includes a certified captain/crew, snorkel gear (vest, fins, mask, snorkel), drinks, and the unique see-through boat experience.

Real talk: the boat is stable but the water's so clear you might feel like you're floating above the reef—bring reef-safe sunscreen (apply before boarding) and a towel if you snorkel.

Short, sweet, and ideal for cruise passengers; book early for calm seas.
