The clearest water in Puerto Rico — just 20 minutes from Fajardo. Shallow turquoise sandbar, snorkeling, and island escape vibes. 100% private, all-inclusive.
Icacos Island (Cayo Icacos) is one of Puerto Rico's most unforgettable island escapes — an uninhabited cay tucked between Fajardo and Culebra, inside the protected waters of the La Cordillera Nature Reserve. It's world-famous for a reason: the water here is so clear and so shallow you can see starfish, sea urchins and reef fish from the boat before you even step in.
What makes Icacos special is the shallow turquoise sandbar that stretches along the coastline. Guests anchor the boat in chest-deep Caribbean water, float with our pool mat, and swim straight to untouched white sand beaches. There are no restaurants, no crowds, no fees — just you, your group, and the real Puerto Rico.
Because Icacos is so close to Fajardo — just 15 to 20 minutes by boat from Puerto del Rey Marina or Villa Marina — it's the perfect destination for first-time charter guests, families with kids, bachelorette groups, and anyone who wants maximum beach time with minimum travel. You get more time swimming, and less time getting there.
From the moment we leave the marina, you're on island time. Here's exactly what your day looks like when you charter with us.
Visibility of 30+ feet on a calm day. The Caribbean doesn't get clearer than this — and it's the first thing every guest comments on.
Coral heads and reef fish are literally steps from where we anchor. Snorkel gear available as an add-on, or bring your own — either way, you'll swim with fish.
Wade ashore to soft, uninhabited beach. No resorts, no vendors, no rental chairs — just your group on a protected nature reserve.
Every boat has Bluetooth sound. Connect your phone and set the vibe the second we leave the dock.
Water, sodas, beer, ice, fresh fruit, and sandwich/wrap lunch are already loaded on board. BBQ, catering, and open bar upgrades available.
USCG-certified captain and deckhand on every charter. Safety, local knowledge, and great company — no experience needed from you.
Real water. Real sand. Real paradise — 20 minutes from Fajardo. This is what your day looks like when you charter with Boating Puerto Rico.
Most first-time Icacos guests think they only need 4 hours. By the time they're done snorkeling, swimming, and eating — they wish they'd booked 6 or 8. Here's our honest recommendation:
We operate the largest private charter fleet between Fajardo and San Juan — 14+ boats ranging from budget-friendly center consoles to 82ft superyachts. Every boat below can run Icacos.
At only 15-20 minutes from Fajardo, Icacos is the closest uninhabited island — meaning more beach time, less fuel, lower cost.
Even on busy weekends, Icacos water stays crystal clear because of the sandy bottom and steady Caribbean currents.
The shallow sandbar is perfect for kids to swim and play. Pets are welcome on most vessels too.
The turquoise water + white sand combo is one of the most photographed spots in Puerto Rico. Your feed will thank you.
30% deposit secures your date. Full refund if we cancel for weather. Every charter is 100% private — just you and your group.
Icacos pairs beautifully with nearby islands. Ask about combo routes on your 6h or 8h charter.
