Private Catamaran Charters in Puerto Rico
Stable, spacious and family-friendly — sail to Icacos, Culebra and Palomino on a private catamaran. All-inclusive with captain, crew, food, snorkeling and drinks.
Why a Catamaran
The Smoothest Way to See Puerto Rico
A catamaran has two hulls instead of one, and that single design difference changes everything about a day on the water. With two hulls, the boat barely rocks — so seasickness is rare, the deck stays level, and everyone from toddlers to grandparents can move around comfortably. The wide beam creates a huge, flat deck with plenty of room to lounge, eat and socialize.
Catamarans also sit higher and shallower in the water, which means better airflow on deck, a cooler ride, and easy access to the shallow sand flats around Icacos and Palomino. Most feature a shaded aft lounge plus a forward trampoline — the favorite spot for sunbathing and watching the coastline drift by.
For families, large groups and anyone prone to motion sickness, a private catamaran charter is the most comfortable way to explore Puerto Rico's east coast — and because every charter is 100% private, the entire boat belongs to your group.

Two hulls mean almost no rocking — ideal for families and anyone who gets seasick.
Spacious Deck

About This Private Charter
A catamaran charter offers the smoothest, most stable way to explore Puerto Rico's east coast. With two hulls instead of one, a catamaran barely rocks — making it ideal for families, large groups and anyone prone to seasickness.
The wide beam creates a huge, flat deck with a shaded aft lounge and a forward trampoline for sunbathing. Catamarans also sit shallower in the water, allowing easy access to the shallow sand flats around Icacos and Palomino.
Every catamaran charter is 100% private with a USCG-licensed captain and crew, food, drinks and snorkel gear included. You choose the destination — a half-day sail to Icacos, a full-day trip to Culebra, or a relaxed cruise to the Cordillera Keys.

Where You'll Go
Half-day catamaran charters (4 hours) typically visit Icacos Island or Palomino — both within 20–30 minutes of Fajardo. These are calm, protected destinations perfect for snorkeling, swimming and beach time.
Full-day catamaran charters (6–8 hours) can reach Culebra and Flamenco Beach, a 45–60 minute crossing. This gives you time for reef snorkeling, beach time and a full meal onboard.
Your captain tailors the route to your group and the day's conditions. Popular stops include Icacos, Palomino, Palominitos and the Cordillera Keys for half-day trips, and Culebra for full-day adventures.

About the Vessel
Our catamarans are sailing catamarans and power catamarans, all holding up to 12 guests. The sailing catamaran offers a quiet, classic experience under wind power with engine assist. The power catamaran uses engines only, so it's faster and can reach Culebra in less time while keeping the stable two-hull design.
All catamarans feature a wide, flat deck with a shaded aft lounge, a forward trampoline for sunbathing, and easy water access via stern steps. The stability of a catamaran makes getting in and out of the water easy for all ages.
Every catamaran is USCG-certified, fully insured and equipped with safety gear, navigation electronics and a Bluetooth sound system.
