About

A guest, captain, and crew FAVORITE! The perfect day on the water, this customizable 6-hour tour includes everything that our 4 hour tours include, but with more time, more sights, and more food! In addition to our usual tapas, we serve you a full lunch from our galley, and you have 6 hours of adventure in the wildlife refuge instead of 4! You might choose to snorkel both of our favorite reefs, or you might do one reef and a mangrove lagoon swim and snorkel (this combo has quickly become a guest and crew favorite, and is highly recommended!). Maybe you're a mariner, and you want more time sailing, or maybe you want extra time to listen to music and sunbathe on your private sailboat in the Caribbean with a cocktail in your hand. This tour is yours to customize, so it's all up to you! Whatever you choose, this unforgettable adventure is sure to be the highlight of your vacation (just read our reviews on TripAdvisor!)

Prices are based on the duration of the tour, and options for locations/stops are weather and season dependent. On the day of your tour you will work with the captain to decide what your adventure will entail! Call us to discuss our current offerings!


Skill Level / Mobility Requirements

  • You must be a strong swimmer in order to snorkel in open water.
  • This is an intermediate level snorkeling tour, and excellent mobility is required to board the vessel. Please read on for details and call us with any questions!
  • All of our snorkeling tours take place on exclusive, remote, open water coral reefs only accessible by boat.
  • Open water snorkeling is different from shore snorkeling: at no time during our tour will there be a place to stand up or touch the bottom, and open water tends to have a bit more current. Sometimes this experience can be difficult for first time snorkelers, inexperienced snorkelers, or snorkelers who haven't snorkeled in a while. We recommend that guests who haven't snorkeled recently practice using snorkeling gear in shallow water before coming on one of our open water tours. We've had first timers take to it right away, but it's always best to practice!
  • However, keep in mind that nobody walks the plank! If you don't want to snorkel, or you try the snorkeling portion and decide it isn't for you, simply have a swim in the Caribbean and enjoy unlimited drinks, snacks, and sunshine aboard our classic sailboat in the Caribbean! Jump in and swim by the boat, get a tan on the foredeck, and soak up some sun!
  • We do have inflatable float vests for guests who would like that extra bit of flotation while snorkeling, but good swimming skills are required for our snorkeling tours.
  • Our tours include real ocean sailing aboard a classic monohull sailboat. Get ready to heel when we're tacking!
  • Boarding will take place from a dinghy/tender, up a vertical 4 foot ladder to the deck of the larger sailboat. This can be quite difficult for those with a mobility impairment. If you have ANY mobility or balance concerns, please call before booking so that we can be sure you are fully informed of the physical requirements necessary to board. This way, you may make an educated decision to book one of our adventure tours. If you arrive on the day of your tour and our captain determines that it is unsafe for you to attempt to board the vessel, you will be turned away for your safety, without refund.

Where to Meet Us

  • All of our tours set sail from the beautiful, remote island of Vieques, Puerto Rico
  • Our booking agent will email the address and directions to your pickup spot after you have booked.
  • From November to June, you must have your OWN VEHICLE to get to our location, as taxis don't come out this far! In summer and fall, a taxi will do.

What to Bring

  • Beach Towel
  • Non-aerosol Reef Safe Sunscreen (a rash guard or swim shirt is even better!)
  • Bathing Suit
  • Sunglasses

Adventure Tips

Practice Snorkeling Basics

If you're new to snorkeling, get comfortable with your gear in shallow water before the trip to better enjoy the open water reefs.

Boarding Alert

Prepare for a vertical 4-foot ladder climb from the tender to the main sailboat; good mobility and balance are needed.

Bring Reef-Safe Sunscreen

Protect yourself and the marine environment with non-aerosol, reef-safe sunscreen or a sun protective swim shirt.

Hydrate and Snack

Unlimited drinks and snacks are provided, but keep hydrated throughout your day on the water for energy and comfort.
