Private Family Boat Charter in Puerto Rico
Toddlers, teens and grandparents on one boat, safely. A smooth, dry, fully shaded ride through calm mangrove channels, spotting pelicans, herons and, with luck, manatees.
Up to 6 guests · Ages 1 to 99 · Life jackets for all sizes · Full shade · Wildlife
A Safe Boat Ride for Kids and Grandparents near San Juan
Multi-generational trips are hard to plan: the kids want adventure, the grandparents want comfort. Our private family boat charter gives you both. The deck boat is stable with high sides and comfortable seating, so there’s no climbing, no splashing and no risk of anyone getting soaked. Captain José slows down in the mangrove channels of Torrecilla Lagoon to point out birds, fish and local history of Piñones, and takes the family photo you’ll frame at home.
