A College Graduation Boat Cruise near San Juan
After years of work, the grad deserves a moment that feels as big as the achievement. Bring parents, grandparents or best friends (up to 6 total) aboard our white-leather deck boat for a smooth, shaded cruise along the Isla Verde skyline and into the calm Piñones mangroves. Because it’s a dry sightseeing boat ride, gowns, dresses and dress shoes stay perfect, and Captain José takes the cap-toss photos with the ocean behind you.

- Cap & gown photo shoot on the water by the captain
