Glide across the shimmering waters of San Juan Bay aboard a private catamaran as the colonial skyline turns gold, the old forts blush pink, and a curated spread of local cheeses, charcuterie, and aged rum awaits on the deck.
What to expect
Departing from the historic marina, the catamaran skirts the base of El Morro's centuries-old sea walls before opening into the wide, turquoise bay. The captain cuts the engine at a favoured anchorage; snorkelling gear is on hand for those who wish to explore the reef below. As the sun descends, a crewmember presents a curated tasting board — aged Manchego, ibérico, tropical fruit, and two expressions of Puerto Rican rum — with the glowing city skyline as your backdrop. Return to the dock refreshed, with the city lights reflected on the water.
Good to know
Sunset charters typically depart 2 hours before sunset — confirm timing against your all-aboard time. The marina is a short taxi from the pier. Book the private charter directly via East Island Excursions; the shared sail option can be booked on the same site if preferred.
