“I took this trip with a friend and it was a great addition to our girls trip. Service was excellent, Neff Adrian and the team were attentive and kind. They kept energy up while ensuring every passengers safety. They handed out granola bars and water bottles on the way to Cayo Icacos, and came around with different drinks as we came closer. The deli buffet was yummy, sandwiches and various cold salads, plus bags of chips. The bar had soda, water and rum punch, piña coladas, and various juices. Plenty of floaties, flippers and snorkeling masks were available for use. We had a wonderful time and will use this company…”

The 37-foot catamaran carries no more than six passengers, with views of El Morro and San Juan Gate. Drinks are included, shoes come off at boarding, and the boat returns to the same dock.
“Our experience was about as perfect as I could have asked. We lucked out with some weather that passed thru just in time, and had a magnificent sunset to enjoy the cruise to. A relaxed paced tour around the bay of San Juan, amazing view of El Morrow at sunset, Rafa (our captain) was a gracious host and the First Mate was attentive to ensuring everyone had what they needed (great drinks!), and threw in some history about some of the buildings and scenery as we went along. The passengers are limited to six (we were three) and we shared the ride with another couple and enjoyed nice conversation together…”

Crew members such as Kenny, Kiwi, Jay, and Gabriel are known for attentive service. Bring photo ID and arrive early for check-in.
“Icacos was beautiful! I’m so happy we booked this tour and I’d book it again. However, I’d probably look for one with transportation included from San Juan because the uber there added another $150 to the cost of this. A couple of things: We were told we would be late if we weren’t there by 7 so we arrived at 6:45am. We ended up standing around for an hour before getting in a shuttle to the boat. Use your discretion but getting there an hour early was absolutely not necessary. After an hour of waiting my party was pretty agitated. Not all the drinks on board were included (beer for…”
