About this experience
Discover Cayo Caracoles, sandbars, and the crystal-clear waters of La Parguera aboard a private boat reserved exclusively for your group. Cruise through one of Puerto Rico’s most scenic coastal destinations and enjoy shallow turquoise waters, tropical landscapes, and a relaxing Caribbean atmosphere.
Choose up to two stops, which may include Cayo Caracoles, Mata La Gata, Rabo de la Gata, Cayo Enrique, or Cayo Majimo, depending on weather, sea conditions, and destination availability. Enjoy approximately one hour at each selected stop for swimming and relaxing.
Unlike larger group tours, this 4-hour private charter accommodates a maximum of six passengers and is operated by a USCG-licensed captain, offering a more personal and relaxed way to experience La Parguera.
Important: Boarding takes place directly from the shoreline and requires walking through shallow water and independently using the vessel’s boarding ladder.
