Gabriel was great! He did what he could to get us an experience in not so favorable conditions. He truly was a great captain and such beautiful waters in PR!!
Tropical Charters made my 50th Birthday celebration absolutely spectacular! From start to finish, Capt. Gabriel, Capt. Eduardo, and First Mate Yoly went above and beyond to create an unforgettable experience. The food was amazing, the service was outstanding, and our trip to Icacos Island was pure joy — beautiful views, great vibes, and wonderful memories with the people I love. This charter is perfect for a private celebration with friends and family. The entire experience felt special, relaxing, and well organized. It was truly worth every moment, and I highly recommend Tropical Charters to anyone looking for an incredible day on the water! Thank you for making my milestone birthday one I will always remember! 🌴☀️💙 if booking in the near future, make sure to tip them well! Trust me, they deserve it and more.
We had an absolutely incredible experience with our boat captain Gabriel! From the moment we stepped on board, he made our family feel welcome, safe, and completely at ease. His knowledge of the local waters, snorkling spots, and the island itself made the trip feel like a private tour rather than just a boat ride. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone had an amazing time, whether it was finding beautiful places to swim, sharing local history, or making sure the kids were having fun. The boat was clean, well-maintained, and the entire experience was professional from start to finish. If you’re looking for a memorable day on the water with someone who truly cares about giving his guests the best possible experience, look no further. This was easily one of the highlights of our Puerto Rico vacation, and we would book with him again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend—5 stars!
The experience is incredible from start to finish. We’ve booked for an entire day and it was the best part of week long trip our trip to PR. The captain is beyond exceptional. He is bilingual, super knowledgeable, excellent at communication (messaging and in person), and is a whole VIBE. I had messaged him a ton of questions before we even got on board and he responded quickly and explained everything in detail. He catered every aspect of our charter to our needs and wants, allowing us to spend our time wisely so we could get the best experience. He was super prepared and excellent at planning. If you have the option to get the delicious lunch he makes, I highly encourage it. The captain also booked us jetskis (that came to us) and showed us how to snorkel. He was great with my teenager and even reminded us to put on sunscreen. He had snacks and some beverages for us and he offered and suggested thoughtful things without us even needing to ask. My son and I got to see incredible sea life thanks to this experienced and thoughtful Captain. The boat is perfect for small groups, clean, and in good shape. It was just me and my son and he helped take some really cool photos so that we could look back on the memories we made. Honestly, I could could brag on and on about how special this boat and Captain are and how it enhanced our experience 10 fold but I’ll just say one last thing. When we anchored on the beach next to all the other boats booked other groups were saying they were jealous of how good of an experience we were having with our captain!
We decided to take a snorkeling excursion during our family vacation and are so glad we chose to book with Captain Gabriel. He is communicative, honest, punctual, flexible, accommodating, and provided drinks and food and excellent hospitality and customer service. He even scored a glowing review from a routine inspection by the Coast Guard while we were on board. We couldn’t recommend him more highly, thank you for a wonderful day seeing the beautiful beaches of Puerto Rico!
Gabriel was a friendly, easygoing and knowledgeable captain. The boat was clean, comfortable, and well supplied with drinks and snacks as well as safety equipment and snorkeling gear. We added on fishing which was an extra thrill for the kids. Gabriel was attentive and flexible to our needs. Our two kids, ages 6 and 9 had the best time and wanted to stay out all day! We saw tons a of turtles and fish, small and big. This was the highlight of our whole vacation, I highly recommend!!
