What To Expect

Make your way to the marina in Fajardo. As your catamaran pulls up anchor and heads into the cerulean seas, check out great views of the coastline’s beaches, plus scenic vistas of nearby El Yunque National Forest.

Your catamaran arrives at Icacos Cay, part of a chain of 10 small islands that comprise La Cordillera Keys Nature Reserve. If weather conditions require, your captain may navigate instead to the equally stunning island of Palominitos. Then hop in the water for some aquatic activities, including snorkeling on the nearby reef (must bring own equipment,) swimming, or beachcombing on the shore of this placid paradise.

When you start to get hungry around midday, head back to the boat for a pre-packed lunch box with a choice of turkey or veggie options. Don’t forget to enjoy a piña colada, rum punch, soda or juice from the bar.

After lunch, there's time for more snorkeling or sunbathing. While underwater, keep your eyes peeled for reef creatures including colorful fish and the occasional octopus or manta ray. Or stay dry on the deck, where you can gaze at the sea life through glass windows or shoot down the boat’s built-in waterslide.

Your relaxing sailing day finishes with a return cruise back to the harbor.

We loved this day trip! We booked the transportation option— it was easy from San Juan and took us to the drop off point. The crew took great care of us all day. Stop one had beautiful clear water, and stop two had amazing snorkeling options. The slide off the back of the boat was super fast and fun! And the bartender Chris kept us all entertained. We loved the music, and the food was better than we expected. Overall, it was a very pleasant and fun experience that we would recommend.

I've been on many Catamaran's but this one was the best ever!!

Carol_E, Apr 2024

The crew was excellent! I needed a little help snorkeling and David took me out with a floaty and I did great thanks to him. The food was delicious as were the drinks! All in all best trip I've ever been on. My granddaughter and daughter-in-law was their first time on a catamaran and they loved it! Thank you and your crew!!

Amaaaaazing

Maria_M, Apr 2024

Exceptional! It was an incredible day for both adults and children. The crew was attentive and went above and beyond the to ensure the day was enjoyable. The food was fresh and delicious, drinks plentiful and the catamaran clean. An absolute must do!

Not great -70 ppl on board - cheap cold cut sandwiches for lunch

Nicole_C, Apr 2024

It was ok. The water was beautiful but they crammed 70 (yes you read that correctly, they counter and said the numbers aloud) people in the boat. Once you sat down you couldn't move to another seat the entire trip because it was so packed. The staff was attentive and helpful, but for 135 per person, to drive up to one island for 2 hours, sit on a hot boat the rest of the time, get a cold cut sandwich and a few cheap rum drinks, suggest you rent your own boat or ferry to the islands. This was definitely not worth the money in my opinion, nor was it comparable to other catamaran tours I've done in Greece, Costa Rica or anywhere.

Day in Paradise

Lauren_W, Mar 2024

My friend & I went and it was absolutely awesome just because of the staffs. They truly made sure we are having a good time. We are deaf and they went out to make sure we are included when it comes to safety & instruction. WORTH IT!

Fun for the family.

Dean_C, Mar 2024

This was a fantastic trip. Our kids had a great time. Due to unfortunate weather and rip tides we were not able to go to Icacos island. Our captain took us to private island as an alternate. Later we snorkeled off a second island. The crew and captain were very safety conscious. The crew were exceptional. They were always asking if there was anything we needed. The music was great. This was one of our favorite activities.

Fun in the sun❤️🇵🇷🏝

Joy_K, Mar 2024

Jennifer_F, Mar 2024

Totally relaxed. Great friendly crew. Endless drinks. Beautiful warm water and beach. Long pickup route, 2 hours, waited 20 min and 25 min for 2 groups to show up!!

Loved every minute of the Catamaran

suzie_l, Mar 2024

We absolutely loved the catamaran tour. The staff was incredible, lunch far exceeded my expectations and the views, beach ⛱️ and snorkeling was phenomenal. You will not be disappointed!!!

Amazing

Caren_U, Mar 2024

The most beautiful place we’ve seen! So worth it. Snorkeling that close to a reef was a once in a lifetime activity. AMAZING crew! So attentive. They even brought us drinks in the water and were super friendly and very informative. At first with so many people on the boat we were worried it would be not as great as an experience. That was not the case - would highly recommend!

the whole day was...

angelise_t, Mar 2024

the whole day was beautiful, friendly staff, great food and crystal clear water. snorkeling was so much fun, we had a great time!

Great day sail!

David_P, Mar 2024

Great family outing. Crew was outstanding in every way! Always there to bring drinks, even swimming ashore with a tray of rum punches and such! The Snorkel part was better than either Key West or kauai. Saw live brain coral giant urchin, sea fans, and colorful fishes. Had a spot of rain, but it did not last long. Food was good, especially for vegans. Would do it again without question! Don't forget to reapply sunscreen!

Don’t think, JUST DO THIS TOUR

Devin_R, Mar 2024

Spent my 24th birthday on the boat with my boyfriend and another couple, if you are thinking about this tour, DO IT! So much fun! From start to finish the crew was awesome! Took us to some amazing spots and fed us an AWESOME lunch and kept the drinking FLOWING! The value for what you spend is awesome. 10/10 would do this again! Robert, David and Celix were so much fun and great to spend the day with!!! Definitely on the booze cruise side so I personally wouldn’t bring children but they definitely can come! We had a few kids on our boat who looked miserable as this is definitely geared towards adults. Overall just an amazing day!

Amazing

Mark_J, Mar 2024

A passenger lost their wedding ring off the back of the boat and captain went in after it and found it!!! I was very impressed!!
