Sail 45 minutes from Fajardo to Icacos aboard a catamaran for beach time, swimming, shell hunting, snorkeling, lunch, and drinks. The crew may include Captain Robert, Luis, Matthew, Edgar, Zoe, or Adrian. Expect a social boat day, not a quiet private charter.

“The staff was fantastic. Very friendly and very nice. The boat is just smaller, extremely limited in moving around, using the restroom you have to bend completely over etc. The staff took great care of us and it was a beautiful ride, but it is just a small catamaran which makes it less comfortable.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,320 reviews · from $109

“This was a pleasant sunset excursion. The tour guide was delightful and he shared some important information about San Juan’s history and the current state of affairs. The boat is accessible, safe and easy to access for all ages and abilities. The views were nice, and the music was a fun addition. One note- I would not recommend taking the shuttle bus. If you don’t mind spending a few extras dollars on a cab then you’ll save yourself some time.”
