Four hours on the water, just your group and a captain who knows these reefs

You board a private boat from Fajardo's marina and spend four hours snorkeling at one of two island reserves with a captain who knows the reefs. Snorkeling gear, lunch, and drinks—including beer and rum—are included, so you only need to bring sunblock and a towel. Two time slots let you choose morning or afternoon, and the small-group format means no crowds and no rigid schedule.

The Experience

You're thinking about a boat day, but you don't want to share it with thirty other people. That's the whole point here. Escape to Paradise PR runs private charters from Fajardo to either Icacos Island or Palomino Island—both natural reserves—and the boat takes only your group. The captain and crew have years working these waters, and they'll pick the best snorkeling spot depending on the day and the conditions, then anchor near the island so you can swim and beach without a schedule pushing you along.

The half-day charter runs either 8:30am to 12:30pm or 1:30pm to 5:30pm, which means you're not giving up your whole day. You get snorkeling gear, a guided snorkel tour, and lunch—ham and cheese sandwiches, fruit, snacks—plus water, juice, soft drinks, and a case of Medalla beer and rum included. The marina has parking, bathrooms and showers, so you're not scrambling to rinse off in a public facility afterward. All you bring is a towel and sunblock; the boat handles the rest. The reefs around both islands are full of marine life, and the water is clear enough that you'll see it without squinting.

Icacos and Palomino each have their own feel. The captain will know which one suits the conditions and what you're after—whether that's the best coral, the calmest water or the quietest beach. You're not following a fixed route; you're getting a day that's actually built around your group and what you want to do.
