The Best Yacht Charters in Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico is one of the most beautiful places in the Caribbean — and the best way to experience it is from the water. A private yacht charter gives you the freedom to explore hidden islands, snorkel crystal-clear reefs, and enjoy the Caribbean Sea on your own terms.

Whether you're planning a romantic getaway, a birthday celebration, or a fun day out with family and friends, Puerto Rico Charters has the right boat and the right experience for you.

Top Destinations to Visit by Boat

  • Icacos Island – A stunning uninhabited cay with turquoise water, perfect for snorkeling and swimming.
  • Palomino Island – Clear reefs and calm water just off Fajardo, great for a half or full day trip.
  • Culebra – Home to Flamenco Beach, one of the world's best beaches, plus sea turtles and coral gardens.
  • Vieques – Famous for its bioluminescent bay and wild horses. Best experienced on an overnight charter.
  • San Juan Sunset Cruise – See the historic city from the water as the sun goes down — a truly magical experience.

What's On Board

Every yacht comes with snorkeling gear, paddle boards, a large floating island, floaties and noodles, a Bluetooth sound system, Wi-Fi and air conditioning. Our charters are bareboat vessel rentals: captain, crew and fuel are not included in the yacht rate and are paid directly on the day of your trip. We share our list of qualified captains and help you arrange everything. Our concierge partners can also add a private chef, provisions, decorations and more.

Experiences We Offer

  • Private day trips to Icacos, Palomino, Culebra or Vieques

Tips for Booking Your Charter

  • Book at least 3–4 weeks in advance, especially during peak season (December–April).
  • Morning departures offer calmer seas and less wind.
  • Bring reef-safe sunscreen to protect the marine life.
  • Travel light — swimwear, sunglasses, a hat, and good energy are all you need.
