The experience

The cruise runs two to three hours and departs in the late afternoon, timing the route to catch San Pedro's sunset from the water. You'll travel along the reef and toward the leeward side of the island, where the water stays calm and the view opens up. A live guide speaks English or Spanish and can adjust the music to your preference. Bring a specialty drink if you have one, and the crew will prepare and serve it for you.

Local snacks and finger foods come out as you cruise, and a cocktail is included as the sun dips toward the horizon. If you want to swim, the boat anchors at a beautiful location where you can hop off into the water for as long as you'd like before heading back. The whole evening is built around the idea that there's no rush. You're out there to soak it in.
