10 Best Catamaran Trips & Charters In Puerto Rico (2024)

• Catamaran Trips & Charters

One of the best ways to explore Puerto Rico is by catamaran.

Whether you’re taking a trip to the east coast or the west coast, these catamarans have something special planned for their guests. 

I am a Puerto Rico local and when I’m not writing or working, you can find me sailing the coastline.

In this article, we will cover the 10 best catamaran charters & trips in Puerto Rico:

1. Culebra Gateway Day Trip — East Island Excursions

East Island Excursions offers tours to Culebra, Vieques, and the Virgin Islands on a powerful and fast catamaran.

Enjoy stops at snorkeling locations and popular beaches. The excursion includes snacks, lunch, and refreshments. 

The tour departs from Marina Puerto del Rey in Fajardo.

If you’re staying outside of Fajardo you can arrange transportation for a fee per person.

3. Bareboat Catamaran Charter — Sail Caribe Yacht Charters

Sail Caribe offers catamaran charters to Vieques, Culebra, Cayo Icacos, Palomino Island, and Culebrita.

The difference they offer is a charter where you can sail, and sleep aboard without a captain and crew.  

The service is called “bareboat” and can be very attractive if you’re an experienced sailor.

Charters depart from the Marina Puerto de Rey in Fajardo. Charters are sold by the week. Ground transportation is not included.

4. Catamaran Day Trip (Icacos Island) — Castillo Tours

Castillo Tours operates its own boats, vehicles, and staff. They specialize in corporate groups.

The tour includes snorkel equipment, beach toys, boxed lunch, and refreshments. 

The differentiating factor is they will provide beach toys to play volleyball, football, or beach paddles .

5. Beauty of Fajardo Day Sail — Catamaran Spread Eagle

The Catamaran Spread Eagle has been providing tours from Fajardo for decades.

The difference factor with Spread Eagle is that they have a larger variety of lunch options.

They also provide you with a brand-new snorkel included in the tour. This is a nice touch, as opposed to a used one.

The Spread Eagle catamarans depart from Villa Marina in Fajardo.  

The tour is 5 hours, and if you’re departing from the San Juan area you should leave 2 hours earlier. This charter company does not offer transportation with the tour.

Catamaran Sailing in Puerto Rico

May 5, 2020

Before I went to Puerto Rico, I knew I wanted to do a boat day. This was the first group trip I’ve done since Turks & Caicos and the boat day we did on that trip was a blast, so it was at the top of my agenda. There were so many choices, from the different companies to private vs public, catamaran vs powerboat, and so much more. We went with Snorkel and Beach Tour because of their availability and clean, professional website. They also have phenomenal Tripadvisor reviews, so we knew we were in good hands!

One of their tour options is a powerboat to Culebra . We all knew we wanted to go to Culebra, so we chose that option. Sadly, the night before our reservation, they had to cancel the tour due to it not filling up. We were so sad! But instead of canceling altogether, we opted to switch to the catamaran tour to Icacos . An added perk is that we didn’t have to be there until an hour later than the powerboat tour, yay sleep!

I’ll be honest, I was a little bummed that our original tour got canceled. But once we got out on the boat, I knew it was for the best. The catamaran was awesome and so incredibly relaxing. It was my first time ever on a catamaran and I loved it! The boat ride wasn’t fast or bumpy at all. We got to sit out front and feel the breeze as we sailed to Icacos.

For our boat day, I wore my cute little denim romper dress I got on super sale. It just felt nautical and perfect for the occasion. For my swimsuit, I went with my flattering high-waisted banana leaf suit. I love the muted navy and light pink combo!

Once we got to Icacos, we were able to get off, swim, snorkel, chill at the beach, whatever! After about an hour, lunch (and rum punch!) was served. The sandwiches were actually really good and the rum punch was perfection. We hung out, drank, danced, and took more photos for about another hour before heading out to a reef for some snorkeling. I chose not to snorkel – I just wanted to be in the sun! Overall, it was such an amazing time and I absolutely recommend the Traveler Catamaran Sailing Tour !

Usually I prefer private tours since I have to shoot content, but this one was actually awesome. We ended up meeting some cool girls from New Jersey and it was a fun carefree atmosphere. There was also plenty of time to take photos, as you can clearly see in this post! We also got some awesome drone footage!

Have you ever gone sailing on a catamaran?

Top-Rated Charters & Snorkeling in Fajardo, PR!

I did the tour to icacos island and palomino with the captain Jay, pablito and I forgot the tall guy name but three of them were great! We had a blast on our tour. Drinks were amazing. The crew was making sure we were safe and the most important part make sure we had fun and we enjoy the tour. Thanks for everything !! I will be back.

The spot chosen for snorkeling was just amazing. Flamenco beach is definitely a must. But what made a difference is the awesome Sail Getaways crew. All of them were super attentive and nice with us. They went above and beyond to ensure our trip was perfect. Not once I had to order for a refill of my drink. 11 out of 10, 100% recommended, I'll definitely repeat.

Was all of our first time and it was so beautiful and fun. We got to see a barracuda, big jellyfish and a bunch of other little fish. We enjoyed the guys explaining everything, Oscar was fun and kept us entertained since the music wasn't working haha. Loved that lunch and alcohol was included, was so worth the money!

We went with a friend to visit Culebra Island and everything was very nice, the trip was very pleasant, the guides were very attentive, VERY good music and food, I recommend them, 10/10!!

Wonderful experience. Clear turquoise water, white sandy beaches, lush green islands, and a remarkable crew. It was a perfect day of swimming, snorkeling, and positive vibes all around. Highly recommend these guys.

My friend and I took the tour to Tamarindo and Flamenco beach and it was amazing. The weather was perfect which made the ride super smooth. We were a fortunate group to enjoy a beautiful day. It was our first time experience and we loved it. We are beginner swimmers (to say the least) and the gentlemen were kind enough to get in the water with us so we wouldn’t miss the opportunity. Everyone on the boat was super friendly and made us feel like family! It’s definitely a must do activity when visiting the island. Looking forward to many more!!!

It was soo much fun. We took off on time went snorkeling not many fishes but still a great experience then we went to the flamingo island and got 2 hours to ourself to enjoy l. Crew was super friendly and kept the drinks coming. Would totally recommend

Great quick getaway for our group of 13. Quick boat ride to snorkel, excellent fish viewing and lunch. Then a quick boat ride to Flamenco Beach to wander around. The staff was friendly, knowledgable, and patient.

We took the three-in-one catamaran getaway on New Year's Day with Omar and Arturo. Our group was 2 adults a 9 year old and a 5 year old. All of us had an amazing time. Omar and Arturo were awesome sailors/hosts/guides making sure they got us to Icacos safely for snorkeling, answered all our questions, taught us about Puerto Rico and even served us delicious drinks and snacks. A really beautiful afternoon/evening with super friendly guides, Omar and Arturo.

SPREAD EAGLE II departs for a palm-fringed tropical island at 9 a.m. from ‘J’ Dock at Villa Marina in Fajardo, a 30-mile drive east from San Juan, Puerto Rico. Then, it’s about a one-hour catamaran sail to an offshore island and the reef.

There’s something for everyone on our day sail adventure. Kids from two months old to 90 years old have enjoyed the trip as much as we’ve enjoyed having them.

Once at the island, we lower a stairway into knee-deep water so you can get your gear to the beach safe and dry. Then you can swim, beach comb, splash in gin-clear water or stare back at the brilliantly colored tropical fish as you snorkel the reef, or just laze on the white sand beach or on board under the cockpit shade awning, the choice is yours.

The reefs are teeming with parrotfish, foureye butterflyfish, sergeant majors, and wrasse. The variety is too long to list, so you should just come to see them all for yourself.

Ask one of the crew to see the fish, coral, and shell identifying charts on board. SPREAD EAGLE II even provides lunch for the fish. With a little patience, you can get the fish to eat bread right out of your hand.

Great way to experience Puerto Rico!

Instructions for arrival and boat safety were clear. Entire crew was friendly. We had 6 friends traveling, 3 had never snorkeled. My only request would have been a brief instruction on mask fit and de-fogging. Otherwise, bring your sunscreen and enjoy your time on/in the water!!!

We had a great trip snorkeling in a reef and beach time in Icacos with Josh as our captain assisted by Paola and Matt. They kept the rum flowing the entire time and played great music. They even provided a gluten free sandwich for one member of my group. There is a fantastic food truck parked there to buy coffee and breakfast sandwiches before the excursion. I chose Salty Dog because they were priced below the competition yet still had great reviews. I highly recommend them and this trip!

A great time. The crew were friendly and accommodating. It was a bit windy so the captain took us to an out of the wind beach where snorkeling was very nice. Would definitely go again.

Had an amazing time on the Salty dog catamaran. The captain and crew were great, so much fun and very professional. The waters were a bit choppy so they had to change the itinerary a bit but all in all had a great time. Captain Joshua, Miguelito, Manuel and Pauola rock. I highly recommend this excursion.

This was an amazing trip. Captain Josh & his team Of Miquel & Manuel were amazing. They worked like clock work as a team to provide amazing service. The were knowledgeable & fun! Highly recommend. I’m

This is our second trip with them and it was spot on again! They provide everything you just show up and enjoy the day.

We connected our phones to the music system and ran our playlists all day. None of us had done anything like this before, but we will definitely be back to do it again! Great value!

Excellent experience, we had catamaran to ourselves. Carlos and Ezekiel were great. We got vegetarian food - which is what we requested. And they even made Mohitos. We would very highly recommend them any day.

TRIP DESCRIPTION

If you are looking for a unique fun aquatic adventure the Culebra Snorkeling tour is perfect for you.

(Please note Flamenco beach is not guaranteed as our beach stop. Culebra has several beaches and reefs so our captain will select the best option based on water conditions) . The adventure begins at the Marina at Fajardo where one of our power catamarans or power boat will transport you to this unique treasure. At the first stop, you will enjoy some time snorkeling at one of the most beautiful reefs of the Island of Culebra, where you will be able to experience and enjoy the beautiful and colorful marine life Culebra Island has to offer. Aboard our guests can enjoy snacks, lunch, fresh fruit, and our signature pasta salad. And don’t forget about our amazing refreshing complimentary beverages that are also available aboard the vessel. It’s the perfect way to refuel and continue your unforgettable adventures. Our Captain’s preferred point of adventure to be the famous Flamenco beach where you will enjoy the most breathtaking beach in the Caribbean. Depending on the weather, the captain can divert the stop to Cayo Luis Peña or to Culebrita Island, which are also revered as Caribbean gems, where you can swim, continue to enjoy snorkeling, or just take in all of its amazing wonders among others.
