Best trip! Best captain!
4 Hour – Icaco Island - 2:00 PM on August 19, 20262 adults1 child

Captain Joel made our day on the water absolutely amazing! 🌴🌊 He took us to a beautiful island Icacos, and the whole experience was incredible from beginning to end. Joel was so kind, attentive, and helpful. He prepared delicious food for us and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the day. He was always communicating with us, checking in, and giving us a hand whenever we needed it. We felt very safe and well taken care of the entire time. The island was absolutely beautiful, and the experience was truly unforgettable. Thank you, Captain Joel, for such an amazing day!

So worth it!
4 persons Palomino or Icacos - 2:00 PM on June 29, 20262 adults2 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.

A must do experience!
6 Hour– Full Day Palomino or Icaco - 12:00 PM on June 1, 20266 adults

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.
