Icacos Island Private Catamaran Charter: The Whole Boat, Your Schedule
There are plenty of ways to reach Icacos Island from Fajardo. But if you want the water all to yourselves — your own captain, your own itinerary, your own pace — the private power catamaran charter is in a category by itself. At $1,004 for the whole boat (not per person), it's the premium option among all <a href="/">compare icacos island tours</a> on this site, and for groups of four to six people, the per-person math gets surprisingly reasonable. Here's everything you need to know before booking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the $1,004 price per person or for the whole boat?
It's for the entire boat — one flat rate for your private group, up to 6 passengers. At full capacity of 6 guests, that works out to approximately $167 per person. At 2 guests, it's approximately $502 per person. The per-person cost decreases as you add guests, so this charter offers the best value for groups of 4 or more.
Can we customize our itinerary and choose which spots to visit?
Yes — that's the primary advantage of a private charter over a shared tour. Contact the captain before your departure date to plan your itinerary together. You can specify whether you want to prioritize reef snorkeling, beach time on Icacos Island, or a combination. The captain will advise on current conditions at each site and suggest the best sequence based on wind, tide, and visibility on the day.
Are there any reviews for this specific charter?
This private catamaran charter is newly listed through this booking channel and doesn't yet have accumulated public reviews. The captain operates in the same Cordillera Nature Reserve visited by all Icacos Island tours, using local knowledge built from years on these waters. If you need extensive review backing before booking, the Cordillera Reef Snorkeling Tour (Tour 8) has 278 verified reviews and covers much of the same reef territory on a shared basis.
What occasions is this charter best suited for?
Bachelor and bachelorette parties are the most popular use case — a private boat with no strangers, a flexible schedule, and the ability to bring your own drinks is ideal for a celebration group. Other popular occasions include anniversary trips, honeymoons, milestone birthdays, family reunions, and corporate group outings. Tell the operator your occasion at booking — some arrangements can be made in advance for celebrations.
How far in advance should I book the private charter?
For peak season (December through April), book at least 2–3 weeks in advance — private charters are a single booking that fills the entire calendar slot, so availability is inherently limited. For holiday weekends (Christmas, New Year, Easter/Semana Santa), book 4–6 weeks out. Off-peak (May through November), 1–2 weeks notice is usually sufficient, though the captain may have limited availability around other commitments.
What Guests Say About Private Charters to Icacos Island
We rented a private boat for our anniversary and it was completely different from the group tours we'd done before. The captain took us to a reef section I've never seen on any tour listing — no other boats, just us and what felt like every sea turtle in Puerto Rico. Worth every cent for two people who wanted a real experience.
Eight of us chartered a private boat for my brother's bachelor party and it was the highlight of the trip. We could bring our own cooler, stay at the reef as long as we wanted, and then move to the quiet side of Icacos beach where the group tours never go. The captain knew exactly where to take us.
