Since you're already into the day, spend a relaxed morning comparing on-island charter options by visiting the Playa Mia Grand Beach Park ticket desk to ask about family-friendly half-day trips, then stroll the nearby marina to talk directly with captains from Cozumel Sportfishing and Pro Dive Cozumel about customized half-day or 4-hour reef and light-tackle trips. Finish by sampling a ceviche snack at La Cocina de Doris while confirming pickup logistics and gear (ice, bait, licenses) so you can book a realistic afternoon or next-day departure without rushing.
After a relaxed morning, head to the San Miguel Pier to meet operators offering afternoon 3-4 hour light-tackle reef trips and inshore flats charters-ask about last-minute availability, bait options, and shared-spot pricing to keep things flexible for a cruise stop. If you prefer a hands-off booking, pop into Mar Azul Marina where staff can compare captains and walk you through licenses and pickup logistics, then celebrate your confirmed reservation with a cold drink and shrimp tacos at El Moro Beach Club while noting your boarding time for tomorrow or a later-day departure.
As the afternoon bookings settle, wind down with a sunset meeting at Playa San Francisco to compare notes with captains you spoke to earlier and finalize any last-minute details like shared-spot arrangements or extra tackle; the calm water and pier lights make it easy to confirm pickup points. After reservations are set, enjoy a celebratory seafood dinner at Kondesa where you can ask staff about transport back to the cruise terminal and reconfirm your embark time, ensuring a smooth early-morning departure if you choose to fish tomorrow.
