Our family recently had the absolute highlight of our trip to Puerto Rico thanks to Jean and Merluzapr! From start to finish, the island hopping experience was nothing short of incredible.

Jean is truly the best host you could ask for—he was professional, attentive, and made sure our family felt safe and entertained the entire time. The kids were absolutely thrilled to go swimming in such beautiful waters, and seeing the turtles and dolphins in their natural habitat was a magical experience we will never forget.

To top it all off, the burgers served on board were delicious—a perfect lunch to fuel our day on the water. We had such a fantastic time that we are already looking forward to booking another trip with Jean the next time we are in Puerto Rico. If you are looking for a top-tier island hopping experience, look no further than Merluzapr!

The captain was responsive and helpful from the start, making it easy to get to the right spot at the marina. The captain and crew were knowledgeable, attentive, and truly focused on our comfort. They reassured me when I was nervous about getting in the water, provided floaters and a raft, and we ended up spending two amazing hours swimming and spotting lots of turtles.

Snacks, drinks, and thoughtful conversation about the local area made the experience feel personal and authentically local. We never felt rushed, the boating skills were outstanding, and this was hands down our favorite activity of our week-long trip. Highly recommend for a private, romantic, and fun experience.

Had a great time seeing the islands and the captain was knowledgeable about areas we should go see & swim to! We saw a nurse shark and alot of other colorful fish! The captain provided drinks and snacks for our party- would definitely book again on our next trip!! 🙂

We were a family of 5 adults and had an amazing, relaxing time aboard Jean’s boat. He was so kind and thoughtful the whole time. He was very quick to respond to all of my messages. We swam with turtles at one location and saw a dolphin at the other beach. Jean provided some refreshments, a fruit plater and even cooked us chicken burgers! Highly recommend! I told him “his momma did a good job raising him!” Lol.

What a great day we had!

With a large family (kids aged 12,10,8, 2) boat trips away from home can be challenging. This was NOT the case here where everything was safe, smooth, fun and easy.

We had a delightful 5 hour trip (8am-1pm) where we were treated to 3 different islands, swimming and exploring. Our day was windy and with medium swells,  but Captain Jean took us to the most sheltered spots and helmed us through the big swell as gently as possible considering the conditions. Kids had a total blast.

We are boat nerds and highly recommend!
