Boating Puerto Rico · Palomino Island

The Closest Caribbean Paradise to Fajardo

Palomino Island sits just 20 minutes from Marina Puerto del Rey — close enough for a quick escape, beautiful enough to stay all day. The north shore beach is long, calm, and sand-white. The reef around the point is where sea turtles glide through, completely unfazed by swimmers. The calm, protected bay makes it ideal for all ages, including young children and non-swimmers.

Our private boat rental to Palomino includes everything. The captain navigates, the mate manages the boat, and your only job is to enjoy the day. Drinks are stocked, the floating mat is inflated, and the Bluetooth speaker is yours to control.

Unlike resort day-passes to Palomino (which come with crowds and restrictions), our charter puts your private group on a yacht anchored in the best spot. No strangers. No schedules other than yours.

Palomino is also popular as a combination day with Cayo Icacos — our 8-hour charter covers both islands, giving you a sandbar stop at Icacos and beach time at Palomino. It's the most complete Puerto Rico boat day available.
