Details

Fajardo, located on the eastern coast of Puerto Rico, offers one of the island’s richest marine playgrounds. Visit Fajardo PR is a standout local outfitter specializing in personalized boat tours that anchor you directly in this vibrant seascape. Unlike the big party boats crowding the bay, Tito and his crew offer an intimate experience defined by thoughtful customization, safety, and genuine hospitality. This approach transforms a day on the water from a generic outing into a memorable private adventure.

The tours, ranging from 3 to 5 hours, traverse crystal-clear Caribbean waters to small islands and hidden spots off the coast, such as Playa Icacos. This beach impresses with its powder-white sand and reef-populated shallows, providing pristine conditions for snorkeling right off the shore. The reefs here support colorful fish and occasional sea turtles, making the underwater scenes captivating even for first-time snorkelers.

Tito’s attention to detail sets Visit Fajardo PR apart. The boat is impeccably maintained with ample shaded space for those seeking relief from the sun. All essential gear—snorkeling equipment, paddleboards, and safety briefings—are included, tailored to your group’s comfort and skill level. Onboard, you’ll find a generous spread of food and beverages, including fresh fruit platters, sandwiches, and options for special diets like gluten-free meals.

Access to the marina is straightforward, with convenient parking and clean facilities that make getting on and off the boat hassle-free. Safety is paramount; you’re guided through the dos and don'ts of snorkeling, and the knowledgeable crew adapts plans based on sea conditions and wildlife sightings.

For families, couples, or small groups craving a quieter, more personal marine adventure, Visit Fajardo PR provides a refreshing alternative to the larger tours. The connection to the land and sea here feels direct and genuine—a perfect way to experience Puerto Rico’s coastal charm with care and style.
