Private Sunset Escape: Sailing an Island Paradise

This sunset cruise restored our faith in our Puerto Rican boat experiences. Captain Jameel came in on his day off and was immediately receptive to our wishes. We had just come off of a miserable boat tour with another company & did not want to go back to Palomino Island. Jameel explained the wind would make Icacos more rocky of a ride, but was willing to do whatever we wanted to make us happy. We ended up going to Icacos & having a much better time. It was quiet, the ride there was smooth, the sunset was beautiful, & the charcuterie & champagne was perfect. I would recommend this sunset boat ride. And if Jameel is representative of all the captains at Encanto Boat Tours, I would definitely recommend booking their daytime tours over some of the competition.

It was an amazing experience, definitely will be going back awesome time and the captain was very laidback and cool.

We absolutely loved our experience! Carlos, our captain, was so kind! Beautiful sunset, great boat ride, excellent drinks/snacks, nice time at private island, and even got to see some great wildlife. Perfect private experience for our family of 5!

Jameel was a fantastic captain. We felt safe and had a wonderful time at the island swimming.

Depending on when you go, it may be on the colder side. We went in the beginning of March- the water was still warm however at dusk the temp was lower and my daughter (11) was cold the entire time. The water was also choppy when we were sitting in the boat, we all felt sea sick. Regardless the view was amazing and our guide was such a nice person. I wish the boat wasn't as rocky when we were at the island, but thats mother nature for you!

This was so worth it! Wear bathing suits as you will have the opportunity to jump into the water. The captain also has a nice raft that he hooks to the boat. The ride is perfect for small children and they will love the speed the boat goes! Our kids are 11 and 14 and had a blast!

Wonderful experience. The capitán was very knowledgeable and friendly. The view was spectacular and the experience the beach at dusk and after dark with champagne on hand was out of this world. There where schools of fish you could see. Our whole family was impressed. Just wonderful.

Our family of 6 booked this sunset cruise through Viator (but you can book directly through Encanto boat tours) after our sailboat cruise earlier in the week was canceled due to weather. We had a great experience with Jamille as our boat captain. He provided a great overview of safety, provided options (pick Palomino Island!) and was so friendly. We loved that he got in the water with us and chatted about the islands, sea life, and experiences of living on the island. I honestly considered trying to book another trip with him during the day, but we just ran out of time. Drinks were provided, fresh fruit, and views/swimming that were amazing! Highly recommend.

Such a magical experience. Carlos was amazing and attentive. Highly recommend doing this tour. He took amazing pictures of us with the sunset, gave use allot of information in the island details, pointed out things we might have missed, and was just very kind all around .

My boyfriend and I had the most memorable, romantic, beautiful night of our lives on this boat with our captain Carlos! From the boat, sunset views, the island, music, champagne and fruit we can’t begin to think of our favorite moments! There were so many. The boat ride over to the island was beautiful, and not only that but when we go to the island we were able to get out and swim, dance, and take in the views. Thank you so much for this experience, Carlos. We will never ever forget it.
