A private six-person boat whisks you from Fajardo to the clear shallows of Icacos and Palomino Islands for snorkeling, beach time, and customizable on-board snacks. Ideal for small groups who want space and flexibility on a full-day island hop.

You step off the marina dock as the engine settles into a steady hum and the Atlantic breeze pushes warm salt across your face. The captain thumbs a course east; shorelines of Fajardo slip behind like a map folding shut. Within 25 minutes the water clears to the turquoise blue that defines these keys, and the islands—Icacos’ white sand and Palomino’s reef flats—open like invitations.
