Fajardo Private Tours: Half-Day and Full-Day Boat Charters

Four hours with guided snorkeling and sandwiches

The four-hour private charter from Sunbay Marina carries up to six people and combines a private boat with guided snorkeling. Snorkeling equipment, sandwiches, snacks, fruit, soft drinks, beer and rum are included. The trip is offered towards Icacos or Palomino, with the route subject to sea conditions. It suits a party that wants guided time in the water and a sandwich meal within a half-day outing.

The group price starts at USD 755. At six travelers, that is approximately USD 125.83 each; at five, USD 151 each. These are shares of the same charter total, not separately sold individual tickets. Hotel pickup, towels and sunblock are excluded, so the party organizes its arrival at Sunbay Marina and brings personal beach items.

Four hours with a chicken meal from Villa Marina

The private four-hour sailing and snorkeling outing leaves Villa Marina Yacht Basin in Fajardo, with a captain, snorkeling equipment and flotation devices. Food is chicken prepared BBQ-style or a chicken kebab with sliced fried plantain. Water, soda and homemade rum punch accompany the meal. This is a different food package from sandwiches or a charcuterie snack board.

The price starts at USD 950 for a group of up to six: approximately USD 158.33 each at six, or USD 190 each at five. It suits a party choosing a half-day coastal snorkeling outing partly for the included meal. Transportation is available on request for an extra charge, and towels are excluded. Describe this as a coastal trip rather than building the day around a named island stop.

Seven hours for up to four with snacks

The full-day private boat leaves Sunbay Marina in Parcelas Beltran Barrio. A captain and crew accompany the seven-hour outing, with snorkeling equipment, floating noodles and bathrooms with showers. Snacks, a charcuterie board, fresh fruit, water, soda and ice are included. The snorkeling outing gives a smaller party a longer block on the water; lunch and alcoholic drinks are excluded.

The group price starts at USD 1,500 for up to four people. With four travelers, that is USD 375 each; with three, USD 500 each. Its value rests on the longer charter and smaller capacity rather than a complete meal package. A group choosing seven hours should allow for food beyond the included snacks in its day’s planning. The longer duration does not turn the charcuterie board into lunch.

Four hours for up to six with a charcuterie board

The half-day private boat also leaves Sunbay Marina in Parcelas Beltran Barrio. Its four-hour package includes captain and crew, snorkeling equipment, floating noodles, bathrooms with showers, snacks, charcuterie, fruit, water, soda and ice. Lunch and alcoholic beverages are excluded. It suits a party that values these onboard facilities and a half-day snorkeling format more than an included main meal.

This charter starts at USD 950 for up to six. Six travelers share that as approximately USD 158.33 each; four share it as USD 237.50 each. Against the seven-hour boat, the important differences are duration and capacity. Against the Villa Marina trip at the same starting total, the useful distinction is snacks and charcuterie versus a chicken meal. The passenger limit remains six even though another charter from the same departure area carries four.

Private boat or small-group excursion?

All example prices are starting prices recorded in November 2026, in USD, and the individual amounts are arithmetic shares of a whole group booking. A shared five-hour slide-and-snorkeling cruise starts at USD 117 per person, with equipment, light lunch and drinks. The shared six-hour sailing catamaran starts at USD 155 per person, with BBQ buffet and snorkeling equipment.

For six travelers, the USD 755 private boat’s approximate USD 125.83 share sits above the shared slide cruise’s USD 117 and below the sailing catamaran’s USD 155. The activities and meals differ. With only two travelers, the private total is split between fewer people, so the shared excursion is the lower-cost choice when a whole vessel is not a priority. Use the public excursion comparison to match the actual outing as well as its price.

Cayo Icacos and the route at sea

Icacos belongs to La Cordillera’s island-and-reef chain and is associated with snorkeling outings from Fajardo. The four-hour Sunbay charter with sandwiches offers Icacos or Palomino. The Villa Marina meal-based trip is a coastal snorkeling outing. Keep each charter’s route attached to that product rather than applying one island name to all four choices. Plan your visit to Cayo Icacos.

Sea state can change destinations or lead to cancellation. Wear the life jacket as instructed by the crew; flotation noodles and snorkeling gear serve different purposes. Marine-life encounters depend on the day. For an outing where learning to snorkel is the priority, the snorkeling guide also explains coastal lessons alongside boat-based experiences. A private booking still takes place in shared natural conditions.

Good to know about the departure

Fajardo is a municipality with several marinas, so send every member of the party the same departure address. The Sunbay and Villa Marina choices need different meeting plans. Arrange the trip from accommodation around the selected dock rather than using the town name alone. Check the final group price, departure instructions and participation requirements when selecting the charter.
