The Experience

You board at Puerto Rico pier and head out into the Atlantic on a catamaran built for comfort—wide deck space, a floating solarium for sunbathing, and a crew that stays attentive to what you need. The boat carries you to one of two unspoilt beaches, Veneguera or Tiritaña, where the water is clear enough to see what's below. Snorkeling equipment is on board; you get the mask and tube, and the time to use them at your own pace.

Between water time, you can stretch out on the deck, take another swim, or claim a spot on the floating solarium. Lunch arrives mid-morning—paella, salad, wrinkled potatoes with mojo, and fresh seasonal fruit. The drinks flow throughout: beer, cava, soft drinks and water, all included. A restroom is available on board, and the guide keeps things moving without rushing the day.

The whole experience runs about four hours from departure to return. Bring a swimsuit, towel, a light layer, a cap and sunscreen; the crew handles the rest.
