About
You can choose from one of the gorgeous beaches of Icacos, Palomino, Piñero or Isla Ramos keys. They are some of the locals' favorite alternatives. These beaches can only be reached by boat. You will have fun entertainment in and out of the water with ample time to lay back and soak in the sun or walk along the stretches of the shoreline. The waters at the keys are calm, making it good for swimming or floating. The keys have great diving and snorkeling spots with occasional visits from friendly sea turtles and dolphins. If you are tired of the sun or swimming, enjoy beverages and lunch inside the shaded boat, with an epic view of the colorful vibrant ocean while listening to your favorite music.
