  Excellent experience

  8 Hour – Culebrita Playa Tortuga on April 7, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 child

  My family of five (two older teenagers and an eight-year old) had a lovely day on the water with Captain Hector and first mate Orlando. We were initially scheduled to go to Culabrita, but the water was rough (especially farther out), so we stayed around the closer Icacos and Palominos islands (Hector checked in with us the night before with the forecast). We had been on a more generic 4-hr Icacos experience with another provider the day before (ride over and back, beach umbrella/ cooler, and snorkeling) and while that was enjoyable, this was an entirely different experience. A more comfortable boat, custom stops for better snorkeling opportunities, and top-notch appetizers and meal. Hector and Orlando go out of their way to ensure everyone is comfortable and enjoys their time. Orlando snorkels along with the guests to ensure everyone is safe and cheerily provides insights about the sea life and area. We whole-heartedly recommend this experience!

  Best Captain and 1st Mate!

  8 Hour – Icacos &/or Palomino (AM) on March 30, 2026 • 6 adults

  This was our first day excursion on a boat And it was more than we expected! we visited the Caribbean sea and the Atlantic Ocean on the same day! The crew took us snorkeling in the Crystal clear Caribbean sea and swam with hundreds of different fishes around the coral reefs. I never swam with a school of 20-30 fishes. It's was breathtaking. The crew gave us 5 Star service from arriving at the boat with welcome drinks to appetizers at every stop or break from swimming with the fishes. We were well hydrated all day long and never felt hungry thru our the 8 hours on the excursion. I highly recommend Captain Hector (Tito) and 1st Mate Orlando. to take you for amazing and exciting journey thru the Puerto Rico islands.

  Amazing day!

  8 Hour – Culebra Luis Peña on March 24, 2026 • 5 adults

  I recently had the pleasure of going out with 7 Seas Charters, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! Our captain, Hector, and first mate, Orlando, were absolutely phenomenal. They went above and beyond to ensure that all our needs were met throughout the trip. From the moment we stepped on board, we were greeted with a warm welcome and an impressive spread of food and drinks. There was plenty of everything, and they made sure we were well taken care of at all times. Every detail was attended to, making for a relaxing and enjoyable experience on the water. If you’re looking for a fantastic day out on the sea with a dedicated crew who truly knows how to cater to their guests, look no further than 7 Seas Charters. I would highly recommend this adventure to anyone! Best, Brian Lam - Chicago IL

  10/10 Experience, Wow!

  4 Hour – Icacos Island (PM) on January 19, 2026 • 2 adults

  My boyfriend and I truly had the most enjoyable experience of our 7 day vacation with Hector and Orlando. From the second we approached the boat we were treated like family who were visiting for the first time. Hector explained the plan he had for the day and asked our opinions on what we preferred. We were then spoiled with non stop drinks until we reached our snorkeling spot. Orlando then got in the water and went above and beyond showing us around and finding wildlife for us to experience. After exhausting ourselves in the water we were served amazing food dish by dish while relaxing on the front of the boat. Orlando even offered to be our personal photographer! These two more than exceeded our expectations and gave us an unforgettable experience that we would undoubtedly re-book when coming back to the island.

  From the moment you step aboard the Misty Dawn, Captain Hector and his first mate Orlando deliver a truly five-star experience that you’ll remember long after the day ends. Their attention to detail and genuine hospitality set the tone for an exceptional adventure on the water. The culinary experience is equally impressive. Each meal is prepared on the boat by Hector and Orlando, ensuring the highest quality and flavor. Whether you’re relaxing on the boat, floating in the water, or enjoying the beach, Orlando personally serves your food so you can savor every bite without lifting a finger. This combination of first-class service, breathtaking surroundings, and top notch food makes a day on the Misty Dawn nothing short of extraordinary. If you’re looking for an unforgettable outing, this is the experience you’ve been waiting for. Thank you Hector and Orlando. Best Regards, Matt, Tammy, Mika and Ivan
