if spending the day with large groups of strangers is not your thing - book your own private boat. Alexis was a fun, fabulous captain. Great snacks and great snorkeling.
Our boat tour to Icacos with Alexis was absolutely unforgettable! From the moment we stepped on board, we knew we were in great hands. Alexis was professional, fun, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area, making the entire experience feel both safe and adventurous. The snorkeling at Icacos was breathtaking — crystal clear turquoise water filled with the most beautiful, colorful fish. It felt like swimming in an aquarium! One of the biggest highlights for the kids was the underwater jet propulsion system Alexis brought along. They had an absolute blast zipping through the water and exploring in a whole new way. It truly took the experience to the next level. Alexis also let us jump off the boat into the stunning, clear water — such a fun memory we’ll never forget! And as if that wasn’t enough, he took us to a spot where we were able to find and swim with sea turtles. Watching them glide peacefully through the water was magical. Every detail of the trip was perfect. Alexis made sure we were comfortable, having fun, and experiencing the very best Icacos has to offer. I truly cannot recommend this boat tour enough. If you’re considering it — book it. You won’t regret it!
My family of 5 (including 3 teenage boys - 16, 14, and 13) chartered a trip with Captain Alexis on Yatecito PR and had the adventure of a lifetime. Captain Alexis made sure we were all well taken care of on our half day trip to Icacos Island. While we were there, we were greeted by a dolphin that my boys were able to swim and interact with. It was incredible and a core memory that will be treasured for years to come. The boat was comfortable and clean and Captain Alexis made us feel welcomed. My husband and I had booked a trip with a larger catamaran but decided to go with a smaller private boat and we are so glad we did. I promise you will not regret your time on Yatecito PR with Captain Alexis.
We had the best time with Alexis! We brought our 3 kids (age 2, 7, and 9). Alexis was great at letting us know where to park and meet him. The boat was clean and in great shape as advertised. We saw dolphins, turtles, and all kinds of fish. We were able to snorkel and play on the beach. Alexis had floats, great snacks, drinks, sandwiches, and everything in between. It was the best part of our vacation! We would go back in a heartbeat. I highly recommend it! Our kids already said they don’t want presents for Christmas they just want to come back to Puerto Rico! We did bring our own lifejacket for the 2 year old.
We booked the boat trip to celebrate my wife's birthday. Captain and his wife were simply amazing. They decorated the boat, had champagne and cupcakes to help with our celebration. They had a cooler full of drinks and treats. They were also very flexible and accommodating as well as great communicating as day got closer. Wife was a bit anxious on the boat ride due to past experience with another boat company and Alexis was very cautious on the water to make her comfortable at all times. It went so good she was sitting in front of boat on the way back. The sunset was beautiful! It was truly a great experience. Can't recommend them enough. This is who you want to book for your trip. They will make your experience one to never forget. We will definitely be back. Thanks captain and wife for making her bday one for the books. At time was had for sure.
i had been on the island for over a week by the time i had this experience scheduled, so i needed something really relaxing (without feeling like i was wasting a day of vacation). the calm water and the views of El Yunque in the distance were gorgeous, and so were the turtles :) Captain Alexis was incredibly kind; he made sure we had all the food and drinks we’d need, was informative about Palomino Island, and importantly pointed out all the turtles that my eyes weren’t keen enough to spot. i will definitely be looking into booking with Captain Alexis again when i come back to PR
