Fury Catamaran Cozumel is the big 65-foot snorkel boat people mean when they want Palancar, a stop at El Cielo, drinks, and a beach-club burger. That is the regular afternoon product. The cruise-ship version is a different outing: shorter, daily, and it snorkels Dzul-Ha, not the starfish sandbar. Read the ticket before you brag about El Cielo.
The operator's own catamaran page is the Palancar plus El Cielo plus beach-club loop. You check in at the downtown Cozumel pier area, not at the south cruise terminals. Official regular departures are Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday at 1:00pm. Duration is listed at about five hours including transfers. On board: a 65-foot cat, snorkel gear for Palancar, a stop at the El Cielo sandbar, then Fury's beach club for a cheeseburger, drinks, and the inflatables. Snorkeling is listed for ages 6 and up, and you need to know how to swim. This is a party boat. If you wanted a quiet panga and six people, that is a different listing.
Fury also sells a cruise-ship catamaran. Official cruise page: daily 8:00am and 12:00pm, about four hours, snorkel at Dzul-Ha, then the beach club. Dzul-Ha is a real west-coast reef. It is not El Cielo. If your ship ticket says Fury and you packed starfish expectations, read the itinerary. Morning + Dzul-Ha = cruise product. Afternoon + Palancar + El Cielo = regular product, and it does not run every day.
Same brand, three different days.
| What you want | Better bet | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Palancar, El Cielo, drinks, a burger, a big boat | Regular Fury | That is 3164STBP: about five hours, afternoon, limited days. |
| A morning slot that fits all aboard | Cruise Fury | Daily 8:00am or 12:00pm, about four hours, Dzul-Ha not El Cielo. |
| A quiet El Cielo, small group | A panga / small-boat El Cielo | El Cielo snorkeling is the sandbar. Fury is the loud way to get there. |
| Reef only, no beach party | A snorkel boat without the club | See snorkeling in Cozumel. |
| Sunday on the regular El Cielo run | Do not assume it sails | Official regular days are Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday. |
Check-in is at the San Miguel public pier area. Budget a taxi from Puerta Maya or Punta Langosta. Hotel pickup is usually extra. A marine park fee is often extra at check-in. We do not print that number.
The named Fury people mean
This is the the live listing listing supplied by Fury Catamarans Cozumel (product 3164STBP). Confirm the date is a sailing day, and read whether pickup is in. Check the live listing for today's price.
Cruise clock, Dzul-Ha or a park
If you only have the morning, the cruise Fury or Chankanaab will treat the clock more kindly than an afternoon El Cielo loop.
Fury boards in the San Miguel waterfront / public pier area, along the town malecón, not at Puerta Maya. From the south cruise terminals that is a taxi. From Punta Langosta you are closer. Be there early. Local clock, not ship clock. Five hours on paper is not five hours including the taxi back through port security. The regular 1:00pm sailing is a tight squeeze on a short port day. If all aboard is mid-afternoon, this is the wrong product. Cruise port guide.
Regular vs cruise itineraries, days, and durations come from Fury's own catamaran pages. The live bookable product we point at is the live listing 3164STBP, supplied by Fury Catamarans Cozumel. Marine park fee extra is on that listing. We have not sat on every sailing. Live prices sit on the cards.
The regular afternoon product does: Palancar, then El Cielo, then the beach club. The cruise product snorkels Dzul-Ha. Read the itinerary on your ticket.
About five hours including transfers on the regular run. About four hours on the cruise version.

Downtown Cozumel, the public pier area, not the south cruise terminals. Budget a taxi and show up early.
Snorkel is listed from age 6 and you need to swim. Non-swimmers can stay on the boat and still do the club, but this is not the dry reef tour. That is the Atlantis submarine.
Fury if you want the party, the burger, and a stable 65-foot cat. Small boat if you want fewer fins on the sandbar.
