Experience was great but we were promised a boat with a slide and we didn’t get that so our kids were very disappointed.

Description
Upon departing Marina Puerto Del Rey, our guests enjoy the beautiful views of the Cordillera Islands, and the mountains of El Yunque fade into the distance. After about 90 minutes on our power catamaran, we arrive at the beach where the fun begins. Our usual beach destination is Culebrita Beach, but our captain might choose another nearby location like Flamenco beach, depending on water conditions for the day. We spend the day at the beach, paddleboarding, kayaking, sunbathing, or participating in fun games and challenges. Guests should bring towels, and wear light clothing over a swimsuit. Children under the age of 6 years and pregnant women are NOT allowed on this tour. *All games and watersport activities depend on conditions at the beach. *This is NOT a snorkeling tour.

Itinerary
Culebra
Our first option is to visit and spend a fun day at a beautiful beach in Culebrita island. Culebra Island has plenty of options and we will visit the beach with the best condition depending on the day. Flamenco beach is one the possible beaches we could spend the day at. This is weather depending. As an alternative beach, if we can't continue to Culebra due to rough water conditions, we will stop at a beautiful deserted island with crystal clear waters and white sand that will make you feel in Paradise.

Don't waste your money
If you've already reserved a Culebra trip ask during the confirmation call or once you are checking in if you will be going to Flamenco Beach. if not, I would cancel. The location they took us to was a small rocky beach. I had a better beach in front of my hotel. Total waste of $400 + Tip. Moving forward, I would recommend that people bypass these types of restrictive tours entirely. The best way to truly experience Culebra is to handle the logistics independently: take the early ferry over, book the latest ferry back, rent a jeep or golf cart to safely navigate the island's rough side roads and spend your money on high-quality local dining rather than the mediocre food options provided on these charters.
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’d just like to clarify that our excursion is to Culebra, not specifically Flamenco Beach. Culebra has many beautiful beaches, and depending on sea and weather conditions, we may visit another beach that offers a better and safer experience for the day. Our tour is advertised as a beach excursion, not a ferry or island transportation service. For guests primarily interested in exploring the island independently, renting a vehicle, and choosing their own beaches and restaurants, taking the ferry is certainly a better option. We appreciate your feedback and hope this helps clarify the experience we offer.

The most beautiful water!
We had the best time in our trip to Culebrita beach. The captain and his crew were super friendly and attentive. We highly recommend the company and crew of our catamaran beach experience.

Boat change
We were meant to do this boat at 8am on Friday and at 7:55 AM I no longer see anyone with the same wristband as us in the boat waiting area. We then go check with the front desk and said that one is being cancelled due to mechanical issues. Our options were limited, refund, smaller boat and only 4 hours to Icacos island. We made the best of it but it was a more relaxed boat then the other one we were really looking forward to. I wish the east island excursion team did a way better job of notifying us and not making me go up to them to ask what is going on. We will see if we book another time.
Operator response
We sincerely apologize for the confusion and, especially, for the lack of communication while you were waiting. We completely understand how frustrating it must have been to arrive for your 8:00 AM excursion and not know what was happening. Unfortunately, we had a last-minute mechanical situation with one of the boats, and we were only informed of the full details shortly before departure. It took us some additional time to understand the situation, coordinate the available options, and try to accommodate everyone so that guests could still enjoy their day rather than simply having the entire excursion cancelled. That said, we recognize that we should have communicated with you much sooner and more proactively. You should not have had to go to the front desk and ask what was happening, and we are truly sorry for that experience. We’re glad you were still able to make the most of the day on the smaller boat and enjoy some time in Icacos, although we completely understand that it was not the experience you had originally been looking forward to. We truly appreciate your patience and feedback. We’ll be taking this situation seriously with our team, particularly when it comes to keeping guests informed during unexpected mechanical issues.

One of the best Experiences Ever
The experience was beyond words. The people that ran the Catamaran were the friendliest and most professional I have ever experienced. The people that attended were so family friendly.

It was a very nice time....
It was a very nice time. Unfortunately, we were not able to go to Flamenco Beach because of weather, but they took us to a different area that was lovely. Plenty of food and drinks the entire time. It is definitely a take turns situation when it comes to be beach toys, but you are there for 4 hours so plenty of time.
