Five stars isn’t enough

8 Hour – Icacos &/or Palomino (AM)4 adults

Hector and Orlando were beyond amazing. This was hands down the best excursion we did during our entire trip to Puerto Rico, and honestly one of the best days of my life. Hector was our captain, and from the very start he went above and beyond for us. When we booked, we mentioned that we had dietary restrictions and could only eat seafood and halal meat. Even before we arrived, Hector was in constant communication with us about food options and reassured us he would make sure we were taken care of. And he absolutely did — he took extra time out of his own day to find halal meat for us, which meant so much and did not go unnoticed. Two days before our excursion, Hector reached out to let us know that due to weather conditions, our original destination would need to be changed to a different island. We appreciated this so much. He was incredibly transparent, flexible, and kept us updated the entire time, which made us feel really comfortable and taken care of. Now for the actual day… oh my God. It was an absolute dream! We met Hector and Orlando, who were both so warm, welcoming, and genuinely such a pleasure to spend the day with. The ride was smooth, the island was unreal, and the entire experience felt effortless and perfectly planned. Orlando shared little historical facts about the nearby islands and places, which was such a fun touch. While we were in the water, he was constantly checking in and bringing us snacks and appetizers. And the food… THE FOOD. Some of the best food I’ve ever had in my life. Hector is truly a phenomenal chef. Honestly, the day could not have gone any better. Hector and Orlando, thank you so much for the memories. We will 100% be back to Puerto Rico, and whenever we do, we will ONLY be booking with Hector Barreto. No hesitation, no question.

    January boating trip

    4 Hour – Icacos Island (PM)4 adults

    My family and I chartered the Misty Dawn with Captain Hector. They spoiled us with homemade guacamole, delicious local fruit and sandwiches. The weather and ride was perfect. The water was spectacular and we enjoyed the setup at Palomina Island. We snorkeled and swam and truly enjoyed the natural beauty of Puerto Rico! Thank you so much! Next is Culebra with you guys!
