Launch from Las Croabas, Fajardo, Puerto Rico, and spend a private full day exploring Icacos, Palomino, Culebra, or Vieques aboard a chartered boat that puts turquoise water, coral gardens, and world-class beaches within reach. This private full-day island escape runs 8:00 AM–4:30 PM and is designed for small groups (up to six) who want a relaxed, personalized Caribbean day on the water.

Your captain navigates reef-strewn channels and anchors at the best shorelines while you sink into comfortable seating under shaded canopies. Music, cool breezes, and the steady slap of wake set the tempo; the boat carries room for lounging, snorkel stops, and beach time so each group controls the pace. Choose the legendary white sand and calm shallows off Culebra—home to Flamenco Beach and clear snorkeling—or head toward Vieques for a quieter shoreline and wild coastal scenery. Closer options like Icacos and Palomino offer sandbars and shallow coral gardens ideal for families and first-time snorkelers.

Key features include vivid turquoise seas, fringing coral reefs, sandy cays, and coastal scrub common to Puerto Rico’s offshore islands. Look for parrotfish and sergeant majors in the shallows and seabirds wheeling overhead; occasional sea turtles visit the reefs. The boat’s captain knows local currents and snorkeling spots, minimizing downtime and maximizing time on sand and under surface. Extras available from the operator include hamburgers and parchas pouches; guests 21+ may bring alcohol but the captain remains sober while underway.

This charter stands out because it turns a crowded island visit into a private, flexible itinerary tailored to your group—no ferry schedules, no crowded piers, and access to shallow coves where larger vessels can’t anchor. Launching from Las Croabas places El Yunque’s green ridgelines and offshore islands within an hour’s cruise, making this an efficient way to experience multiple island ecosystems in a single day.

Practical notes: plan for sun exposure and reef-safe sunscreen, bring water shoes for rocky shorelines, and pack a dry bag for phones and wallets. Snorkel gear is recommended if you want guided underwater time; the captain will point out coral heads and marine life. This full-day escape blends ease and expedition—perfect for families, groups of friends, and couples seeking a private slice of Puerto Rico’s marine playground.

Before you book, confirm which island you'll visit—routes vary by sea conditions—and communicate any food allergies to the crew. Wear quick-dry clothing and bring a lightweight jacket for open-water breezes; motion-sickness remedies are wise for sensitive travelers. The captain can recommend snorkeling depth for children and will brief guests on reef etiquette to protect coral. Because the experience is private, it’s easy to request a slower pace, extra stops for photos, or a sunset extension when available—just ask at booking.
