Amazing experience!
Island Hopping on April 25, 20264 adults2 children

I usually never leave reviews, but after the amazing experience we had this past Saturday for my wife’s birthday, I had to make an exception. We arrived about 5 minutes early, and Jean already had the boat ready for us. There was no waiting at all, which made a great first impression. We were 4 adults and 2 children, and we booked the island hopping package. The package included fruits, sodas, beers, and BBQ hamburgers, which were all great. Jean also had an assistant with him (sorry, I forgot her name), and both of them were attentive the entire time. They were always checking if we needed refills, wanted something from the boat, or needed anything at all. At the first island, Icacos, the waves were rough, so Jean checked with a friend and confirmed that conditions were better at the second island, Palomino. After about 40 minutes, we moved there and had a much better time. Jean couldn’t control the waves, but he definitely controlled our experience by making smart decisions and making sure we enjoyed the day. It’s always great to see young people who are responsible, respectful, hardworking, and willing to go the extra mile. Everyone in our group had a fantastic time. I told him that besides the great reviews, the BBQ was one of the reasons we chose him and I’m so glad we did. I had been considering other boat that had more reviews, but I’m very happy I chose this one instead. Highly recommended!

One of Those Perfect Days You Wish You Could Bottle Up
Island Hopping on April 8, 20262 adults

We booked a charter with Captain Jean and it was honestly an amazing experience. It was just my two boys (18 and 10) and I, and it ended up being one of those days we’ll remember for a long time. We started off beach hopping and went snorkeling at Cayo Icacos, where we saw a ton of fish while my oldest explored the island. Absolutely beautiful spot. From there, we headed toward Palomino Island and found a few sea turtles swimming. We jumped in and even saw a few remora and a barracuda… and that was about enough excitement for me, I happily climbed back into the boat after that 😅 Next we stopped at a small island where Captain Jean cooked burgers for my family and me, which was such a thoughtful and unexpected touch. Overall, it was an incredible experience from start to finish. If you’re looking for someone knowledgeable, safe, and laid-back, Captain Jean is your guy. You won’t regret it.

Cpt Jean and a Perfect Day
Snorkeling adventure on March 30, 20263 adults2 children

Don’t think twice! Go with Jean. Wow! What an incredible day! We had two little ones (6 and 2) and Cpt Jean was fantastic accommodating our group. He took it slow over the big waves, brought us to the perfect location and provided us a beautiful fruit spread which truly hit the spot. He also provided simple but yummy sandwiches, plenty of beer, water and juice (and some other stuff we just didn’t need!). His raft made for a fantastic central point to our hanging out on a perfect isolated island with bright blue water and powder soft sand. It was the perfect day! The boat was comfortable and fit our group of 5 (could have easily fit a couple more). He was a great host and provided us with one of the highlights of our trip. One thing I certainly don’t regret is taking a private tour vs the many huge boats packed with people. Trust me - most of them looked stuffed in on those boats, although they did look beautiful. We enjoyed our privacy and the ability to do exactly what WE wanted with our little ones. He also gave great suggestions for the rest of our vacation. Thank you Jean!

Absolute highlight of our Puerto Rico vacation!
Island Hopping on June 28, 20264 adults

We booked a private excursion for our family of four, and it exceeded all of our expectations. It was incredible having the entire boat to ourselves. The crystal-clear blue water was beautiful, the snorkeling was amazing, and the boat itself was clean and very comfortable. The provided lunch and drinks were great and made the day so easy. What really made the trip special was our captain—he was attentive and made sure our family was safe and having fun. Having that personalized, private experience made our vacation unforgettable. 10/10 recommend!

Sunset couple on March 30, 20262 adults

Here’s a polished version you can post: We had an incredible experience with our private boat captain yesterday in Puerto Rico. The tour was relaxed, well-paced, and exactly what we were hoping for. We got to snorkel with sea turtles and saw so many beautiful fish along the way. The captain made us feel safe, comfortable, and took us to some amazing spots we never would have found on our own. If you’re looking for a more personal and memorable experience on the water, this is it. Highly recommend!
