Picture yourself cruising along Puerto Rico's stunning southwest coast, where crystal-clear waters meet dramatic cliffs and hidden coves that most tourists never see. This private 5-hour coastal tour with Simply Caught gives you and your group exclusive access to some of the Caribbean's most beautiful scenery. Starting at $850 for two guests, you'll have your own captain and boat to explore at your own pace. Want to bring more friends? Each additional person is just $50, and we can take up to six passengers total. Need more time soaking up the sun? Tack on extra hours for $100 each – trust me, once you're out there, you won't want to head back to shore.
Your captain knows these waters like the back of their hand, and they'll tailor the route based on what your group wants to see. Maybe you're into snorkeling and want to hit the clearest spots, or perhaps you just want to cruise and soak up the scenery with a cold drink in hand. The southwest coast is famous for its calm, protected waters – perfect for families with kids or anyone who gets a bit seasick on rougher seas. We'll cruise past secluded beaches that you can only reach by boat, dramatic limestone cliffs, and maybe even spot some sea turtles or dolphins along the way. The boat is equipped with everything you need for a comfortable day, including shade, coolers for your drinks, and snorkeling gear if you want to jump in. Your captain will point out local landmarks and share stories about the area that you won't find in any guidebook.
The beauty of a private tour is flexibility, but there are some must-see spots that every captain loves to show off. We typically start by heading west toward the Cabo Rojo area, where the water shifts from deep blue to stunning turquoise as we get closer to the shallow flats. This is prime territory for spotting rays gliding over the sandy bottom and tropical fish darting around coral heads. If conditions are right, we might swing by the famous Playa Sucia, consistently ranked as one of Puerto Rico's top beaches but much more impressive when viewed from the water. The tour can also include stops at Cayo Aurora or other small keys where you can swim, snorkel, or just relax on pristine sand. Your captain reads the weather and water conditions daily, so they'll adjust the route to give you the smoothest ride and best visibility. GPS and fish finders help navigate to the good spots, but honestly, local knowledge beats technology every time out here.
The waters off southwest Puerto Rico are teeming with life, and even though this isn't a dedicated wildlife tour, you're almost guaranteed to see something cool. Green sea turtles are common year-round, especially around the seagrass beds near Cabo Rojo. These gentle giants can weigh up to 400 pounds and aren't shy around boats – sometimes they'll surface right next to you to check out what's going on. Bottlenose dolphins love these warm waters and often ride the bow wake, putting on quite a show. During winter months (December through April), you might even spot humpback whales passing through on their migration route. The coral reefs and rocky areas are home to colorful parrotfish, angelfish, and sergeant majors that make snorkeling here world-class. Stingrays are frequent visitors to the sandy flats – harmless Southern stingrays that glide along the bottom like underwater flying carpets. Your captain knows where each species hangs out and what times of day offer the best viewing opportunities.
This top-rated coastal tour combines the best of Puerto Rico's southwest waters with the personal touch that only comes from a private charter. Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, planning a family adventure, or just want to experience the Caribbean the right way, five hours on these beautiful waters will leave you planning your next trip before you even get back to the dock.
