Boating Puerto Rico · Cayo Icacos

Puerto Rico's Most Stunning Uninhabited Island

Cayo Icacos is a small, uninhabited coral island sitting at the edge of the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean — and the water around it is unlike anywhere else in Puerto Rico. The sandbar shifts with the tide, the reef is alive with tropical fish and sea turtles, and the whole island remains undeveloped, protected, and private.

Boating Puerto Rico departs from Marina Puerto del Rey in Fajardo, making Cayo Icacos one of our signature destinations. The 40-minute ride takes you past the Spanish Virgin Islands and into the open sea, arriving at a postcard that doesn't feel real.

Snorkel over shallow coral gardens, float on our inflatable mat in the crystal-clear shallows, listen to your playlist, and let the crew take care of everything. Beer, water, sodas, fresh fruit, and snacks are included. The boat anchors close enough to the sandbar that you can wade ashore — no dinghy needed.

Whether you're celebrating a birthday, planning a bachelorette trip, or simply want to spend a day somewhere that most tourists never find, Cayo Icacos delivers. Our USCG-licensed captains know the best anchoring spots and the safest snorkel zones depending on the current that day.
