Why Fajardo
The Boating Capital of Puerto Rico

Fajardo sits on the northeast tip of Puerto Rico — and it's no accident that nearly every serious charter operator on the island keeps a fleet here. The east coast is sheltered by a chain of small cays, the water turns Caribbean-blue within minutes of leaving the marina, and the run to Cayo Icacos or Palomino Island is a calm 15 minutes.

From Fajardo, you're also positioned for longer day trips most of the rest of the island can't reach: Culebra and Flamenco Beach (60–90 min), Culebrita with its lighthouse and Tortuga Beach, and Vieques with its wild horses and undeveloped beaches (about 75 min).

Whether you want a 27ft center console for a small family day, a Lagoon catamaran for 12 friends, or an 82ft Sunseeker for a milestone celebration, our Fajardo fleet has the right boat for the day — and a captain who actually knows where to drop anchor.

The Marinas
Two Departure Points in Fajardo
All Fajardo charters depart from one of two marinas, both about 50 minutes east of San Juan. We'll let you know which marina at booking, based on the boat you choose.

Largest Marina in the Caribbean
Puerto del Rey Marina
Over 1,000 wet slips, full-service fuel dock, ample parking, restaurants on-site, and a calm protected basin. Most of our luxury fleet — Sunseeker 60, Sunseeker 82, Azimut 50, and the Catamaran Lagoon 48 — berths here. Great for groups arriving from San Juan because parking is plentiful and the boarding area is shaded and easy to find.

Closest to Icacos & Palomino
Villa Marina
A more compact marina with quick boarding and the shortest run to Icacos. Many of our center consoles and mid-size charters — Hydra Sports 27, Wellcraft 30, Grady White 38, Stamas 42, and the Schaefer 45 — depart from here. If you want maximum beach time and the fastest exit to clear water, this is your marina.

Getting Here
From San Juan to Fajardo
The drive from San Juan to Fajardo passes the iconic San Juan bay bridge

Fajardo is about 50 minutes to an hour east of San Juan by car — a straight shot down PR-26, then PR-66 (the toll road), then PR-3 into Fajardo proper. Most of the drive is highway and signed clearly for both Puerto del Rey and Villa Marina.

If you're staying in Old San Juan, Condado, Isla Verde, or near the airport (SJU), you'll cross the bay bridge in the photo before heading east. We recommend leaving your hotel 2 hours before your charter — we ask all guests to be at the marina 30 minutes before departure so the captain can finish loading and brief the trip.

Don't want to drive? We offer optional roundtrip transportation from any San Juan-area hotel for $40 per person. Just ask when you book and we'll line up the driver, who picks you up an hour before departure and brings you back at the end of the day.

The Charter Experience
All-Inclusive, No Surprises
Group of friends enjoying a private boat charter from Fajardo, Puerto Rico

Every Fajardo charter comes loaded. The price you see at booking is the price you pay — no fuel surcharges, no service fees, no surprise extras at the dock. The only decision you'll make once you're on the boat is which beach to anchor at first.

Our captains are USCG-licensed, born-and-raised in Fajardo or San Juan, and know the reefs, anchorages, and shortcuts that off-island captains don't. The mate handles the food, the cooler, the swim ladder, and the snorkel gear so you and your group can actually relax.

  • USCG Captain & Mate — licensed, friendly, local
  • Fuel & Water — full tank, we don't cut trips short
  • Food & Drinks — sodas, beer, ice, fruit, sandwiches/wraps on 6+ hour trips
  • Snorkel & Float — masks, fins, floating mat, Bluetooth speakers
  • BYO welcome — bring your own cocktails, champagne, or favorites
  • 30% deposit reserves your date — full refund 48+ hours before

Where You'll Go
Destinations from Fajardo
Every Fajardo charter heads east — into the calmest, clearest water in Puerto Rico. Pick a destination, and we'll route the day around it. Heads up: Icacos and Palomino use our standard fleet pricing. Culebra, Culebrita, and Vieques are priced with a custom quote — the longer distance and extra fuel apply, so message us for the exact rate.
15 minBoats anchored at Cayo Icacos, a short ride from Fajardo
🏝 Cayo Icacos
15 min · Closest stop · Best for half-day
An uninhabited cay just outside the marina with a shallow turquoise sandbar, white sand beach, and live coral reef on the windward side. The clearest water near Fajardo and the most popular drop on a 4-hour charter — you can swim, snorkel, anchor, and still be back at the dock by lunch.

🌴 Palomino Island
20 min · Long beach · Calm anchorage
A private island just east of Fajardo with a long white-sand beach lined with coconut palms. Calm, protected anchorages mean it's a favorite for families and bachelorette groups. Pair with Icacos on a 6-hour charter for the ultimate two-island day.

🐢 Culebra & Flamenco Beach
60–90 min · 8-hour day · Top 5 beach in the world
Flamenco Beach is consistently ranked one of the top 5 beaches in the world — powder-white sand, neon-blue water, and the famous painted military tank. A Fajardo day charter is the easiest way to do Culebra without the ferry hassle. Snorkel Carlos Rosario on the way back.

🦎 Culebrita
75 min · 8-hour day · Pair with Culebra
Even quieter than Culebra — Culebrita is uninhabited, with the curved Tortuga Beach, the natural rock pools known as "the Jacuzzis," and a 19th-century lighthouse on the high point. Most groups combine it with Culebra for a single all-day Fajardo charter.

✨ Vieques
75 min · 8-hour day · Wild & undeveloped
Wild horses on the road, undeveloped beaches like Caracas (Red Beach) and Pata Prieta, and the brightest bioluminescent bay in the world. Vieques is bigger and quieter than Culebra — a Fajardo day charter is the smoothest way to see it without dealing with the ferry.

FAQ
Booking a Boat in Fajardo
Where do boats depart from in Fajardo?
Our Fajardo fleet departs from two marinas: Puerto del Rey Marina (the largest marina in the Caribbean) and Villa Marina. Both are about an hour's drive east of San Juan and just minutes from Icacos and Palomino. We'll let you know which marina to head to once you've picked your boat.
How long is the boat ride from Fajardo to Icacos?
Icacos Island is just 15 to 20 minutes by boat from Villa Marina or Puerto del Rey, making it one of the fastest island escapes in Puerto Rico. That's why most 4-hour charters spend the bulk of their time anchored there — the ratio of beach time to travel time is unbeatable.
Can I do a Culebra day trip from Fajardo?
Yes. Culebra is a 60 to 90 minute crossing from Fajardo and we run 8-hour day trips that include Flamenco Beach, snorkeling at Carlos Rosario, and lunch on the boat. The Lagoon 48 catamaran and Sunseeker 60 are the most popular boats for Culebra runs because they're stable in the channel and have shaded saloons for the ride home. Pair with Culebrita for an even fuller day.
Is Vieques reachable on a day charter from Fajardo?
Yes — Vieques is about 75 minutes from Fajardo by boat. We run private day charters to its undeveloped beaches like Caracas (Red Beach), Pata Prieta, and Sun Bay. For the bioluminescent bay (Mosquito Bay), an evening or overnight charter is required because the bio glow only shows up after dark.
What boats are available for rent in Fajardo?
We have 10 private boats based in Fajardo: Hydra Sports 27ft, Wellcraft 30ft, Grady White 38ft, Axopar 38ft, Stamas 42ft, Schaefer 45ft, Lagoon 48ft Catamaran, Azimut 50ft, Sunseeker 60ft, and Sunseeker 82ft. Pricing starts at $900 for a 4-hour private charter on the Hydra Sports.
How much does it cost to charter a boat in Fajardo?
Boat rentals in Fajardo start at $900 for a 4-hour private charter on a Hydra Sports 27ft and go up to $8,000+ for a full-day on the Sunseeker 82ft for trips around Icacos and Palomino. All charters include captain, mate, fuel, food, drinks, snorkel gear, and floating mat — no hidden fees on those local routes.
Why are Culebra, Culebrita, and Vieques priced differently?
Those three destinations require a custom quote instead of our standard fleet rates. The reason is simple: they're 60–90 minutes each way from Fajardo, so the boat burns significantly more fuel and the day requires longer captain & mate hours. The exact quote depends on which boat you choose, the day of the week, and group size — message us on WhatsApp at 787-717-3779 and we'll send your price in minutes. Icacos and Palomino are short hops and use our published fleet pricing as-is.
What's included in a Fajardo boat charter?
Every charter includes a USCG-certified captain, first mate, fuel, water, sodas, ice, beer, fresh fruits, sandwiches or wraps for lunch (on 6+ hour trips), floating mat, snorkeling gear, and Bluetooth music. You're welcome to bring your own food and alcohol — just no glass on deck.
How far is Fajardo from San Juan?
Fajardo is 50 minutes to an hour east of San Juan by car. We offer optional roundtrip transportation from San Juan hotels for $40 per person — your driver picks you up an hour before departure and brings you back at the end of the day. Just ask when you book.
What's the best time to book a boat in Fajardo?
Weekends and US holidays book out 2 to 4 weeks in advance, especially December through April. Weekday charters are easier to secure last-minute. A 30% deposit reserves your date — full refund with 48+ hours notice. Weather cancellations (captain's call) are fully refundable or reschedule-able — we never go out if conditions aren't safe or fun.
