Experience the coastal wonders of the Caribbean with Gratitude Charters, your premier choice for a Fajardo snorkeling boat charter. Based in the heart of Puerto Rico’s nautical hub, our family-owned operation specializes in creating deep connections between our guests and the sea. Under the expert leadership of Captain Nilsa Valenzuela, we provide a personalized environment where safety and comfort are the foundation of every trip.
If you are searching for the best snorkeling tours Fajardo Puerto Rico has to offer, look no further than our guided excursions to the region’s most pristine reefs. We venture to iconic destinations like Icacos and Palomino, and we also coordinate trips to the stunning shores of Culebra and Vieques upon request. Our crew provides all the necessary high-quality gear—including masks, snorkels, fins, and flotation belts—so you can dive into the crystal-clear turquoise waters without a worry.
For those seeking an exclusive and intimate day at sea, our private boat charter Icacos Palomino service is second to none. While we offer shared trips with a small maximum capacity of ten passengers to keep the atmosphere cozy, booking a private trip ensures the entire vessel is dedicated solely to your group. This is the ideal way to enjoy the "hidden paradise" of the Spanish Virgin Islands at your own pace. Our USCG-licensed captains prioritize your well-being, conducting thorough safety briefings and maintaining boats equipped with the latest emergency gear, allowing you to focus entirely on the beauty of your surroundings.
Families are at the heart of what we do. We take pride in being a family-friendly provider, offering Palomino Island snorkeling charters that cater to all ages. From children seeing their first tropical fish to adults lounging on the sun-drenched decks, our boats are designed for accessibility and enjoyment. We believe that a day on the ocean should be about more than just sightseeing; it’s about fostering laughter and togetherness.
At Gratitude Charters, our mission is to inspire joy through authentic ocean experiences. By choosing our Fajardo boat tours to Icacos and Palomino, you are supporting a local business dedicated to sharing the natural splendor of Puerto Rico with integrity. From the moment you step on board until we return to the docks, we are committed to providing a seamless, professional service that leaves you with lasting memories of our island home.

Had such an amazing time with my son soaking in the tropical life after flying in all the way from New York City. We went snorkeling and even spotted turtles, picked shells along the shore, and enjoyed the most gorgeous weather. The food was really good and the staff made the whole day feel extra special. They even helped us fish and we ended up catching a few which made my son so happy. It felt great to reconnect and explore a place that reminds us so much of Puerto Rico. I truly believe this is one of the best charters you can experience out here in Puerto Rico.
