Vieques Sailing Charters
Join a half-day sail in Vieques aboard Avalon for snorkeling, stunning coastal views, and Caribbean sunshine. Perfect for a quick yet unforgettable adventure!
Vieques Sailing Charters operates sailing excursions out of Vieques, Puerto Rico, aboard the classic ketch Avalon. The company offers two primary experiences: a Half Day Sail that combines sailing, snorkeling, tapas, and unlimited drinks, and a Full Day Private Charter — a customizable six-hour private sail with snorkeling at coral reefs and a full lunch. Crews emphasize eco-friendly practices and safe, comfortable sailing for both private and group charters.
The sailing experiences prioritize reef snorkeling at Vieques’ vibrant coral sites, coastal sightseeing, and relaxed onboard hospitality. Guests can expect professional handling of the Avalon, guided snorkeling support, and locally inspired food and drink served on board. The Full Day Private Charter is tailored to individual preferences, allowing guests to set the pace for sailing, snorkeling locations, and meal timing. The Half Day Sail balances active exploration with leisure time, ideal for visitors seeking a shorter excursion.
Reservations are recommended, particularly for private charters and peak travel periods on Vieques. Safety equipment and basic snorkeling gear are provided; guests are encouraged to bring reef-safe sunscreen and personal snorkel items if preferred.
