The experience

The catamaran departs with non-alcoholic drinks already on board (juices, sodas, piña coladas), and heads to live coral reefs where the captain decides which ones to visit based on the day's conditions. Tortugas Reef, Lobos Reef, Punta Aguila, or Palominitos Reef each hold tropical fish and coral you navigate with snorkeling gear provided. You spend roughly an hour exploring underwater, then the boat moves to a second reef or continues to Icacos Island itself, where the rum bar opens and lunch is served.

The deli buffet includes cold cuts, cheeses, gourmet tuna and chicken salads, pasta, beans, fresh fruit and vegetables, bread and chips. Unlimited water, soda and fruit juice flow all day. Rum drinks come during and after the meal. After eating, you anchor in clear water at a pristine beach: time to swim, sunbathe and drink without moving. The captain and crew share the island's history as the day unfolds, so you get context for what you are seeing.

Arrive at the marina one hour before your scheduled departure. Check-in closes 30 minutes before the boat leaves, and anyone arriving after that is marked a no-show with no refund. The check-in tent sits next to a tree with a red, white and blue painted trunk. Bring a valid photo ID matching your reservation name. Street parking is free. Animals, including service animals, are not permitted on board. Neither are coolers, glass containers or outside alcohol.
