What Palmas del Mar Offers

Palmas del Mar is a large beach resort community in Humacao, on Puerto Rico's southeast coast — roughly 2,750 acres with more than two dozen neighborhoods, two golf courses, a country club, a beach club, an equestrian center, and a full-service marina and yacht club of its own. It's a self-contained destination with more than a dozen restaurants on property, popular with both vacationing guests and part-time residents.

What makes it especially convenient for boat charters is its location: Palmas del Mar sits closer to Fajardo than most of Puerto Rico's other luxury resort areas, which puts a private charter to the Spanish Virgin Islands well within reach of a day trip.

Vieques Charters

A Private Charter to Vieques, Close By

One of the closest resort areas to our marina: Palmas del Mar is around 30 minutes from Marina Puerto del Rey in Fajardo — closer than the Four Seasons or Dorado Beach.

From Marina Puerto del Rey, Vieques is about 25 nautical miles out — roughly 90 to 120 minutes by boat depending on wind and sea conditions. Because of the distance, we recommend an 8-hour charter or an overnight trip, which gives you 3–4 hours on Vieques to explore multiple beaches, spot the island's wild horses, and snorkel the reef around Sun Bay.

Everything is included: licensed captain and mate, fuel, snorkel gear, floating mat, ice, beer, water, sodas, Bluetooth music, fresh fruit, snacks, and sandwiches or wraps. An 8-hour Vieques charter runs $2,500–$4,500 depending on the boat and group size.

Fishing

Deep-Sea Fishing During Your Stay

For anglers staying at Palmas del Mar, Boating Puerto Rico also runs dedicated offshore sportfishing charters aboard the Bertram 31 and Bertram 70, departing from San Juan and targeting mahi-mahi, wahoo, tuna, marlin, and barracuda. The Bertram 31 fishing charter is available in 4-hour ($1,900), 6-hour ($2,500), and 8-hour ($3,000) formats for up to 6 guests, with full tackle, outriggers, and gear included.

It's a separate trip from the Vieques island charters departing Fajardo, so let us know if you'd like to combine a fishing day with your Palmas del Mar stay and we'll help coordinate the logistics.
