best day at Icacos & Isla Palomino
5 Hour – Palomino & Icacos Island on May 29, 2026 • 2 adults • 3 children
We had an amazing day on the boat with Captain Joel! From the moment we stepped aboard, he was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive. He made sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time, especially our kids. They had an absolute blast and haven’t stopped talking about the experience!
Captain Joel was knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cared about making our day special. If you’re looking for a fun, family-friendly boating experience, we highly recommend booking with him. Thank you for helping create such wonderful memories for our family! ☀️🚤💙

So worth it!
4 persons Palomino or Icacos - 2:00 PM on June 29, 2026 • 2 adults • 2 children
We had a fantastic day trip to Icacos beach/island. Beautiful boat ride to the island. Lots of swimming, snorkling, and relaxing upon arrival. John then cooked us delicious burgers when we got hungry and was incredibly accommodating to all our needs. We swam in the clear water for hours and enjoyed our entire time at sea. Such a highlight of our trip! The kids (12 & 13) enjoyed the entire experience as well.

Great Day!
4 persons Palomino or Icacos on February 18, 2026 • 4 adults
Captain Joel and crew are Amazing! Couldn't have been more friendly and accommodating. Our first stop was to Palomino island where as soon as we arrived so did a Dolphin that stayed around for about 10 minutes and then took off. Snorkeling was fun with the new provided snorkeling gear, where we viewed turtles and tropical reef fish and then it was off to a sandy beach to have lunch that Capt cooked on the grill followed by drinks and laying around in the water! 5 star day!

Everything was exceptional. From booking, to the actual outing. Our Cpt, Joel, was awesome. Very relaxed, helpful and accommodating. We did the 6 hr tour to palomino island and it was a blast. We will do it again when we return. Well worth every dollar. It is only the Cpt and 6 others. No crowds. Just a relaxing day at sea, listening to your own music and hanging out with friends. 5 STARS.
