I enjoyed this very much. I don't drink rum at all, but man did they kill it with their mixed drinks. Fruit punch, piña colada, and i'm blanking on the third option but it was also good. It lasted around 5 hours. They took us snorkeling(optional) after the island. Midway through the sandwiches were 10/10 maybe because of slight intoxication I guess we'll never know, but anyways overall experience was great and would recommend. You can see bigger boats but genuinely you don't get to see and talk to everyone it's a more personal connection on this boat. read more

I want to start off and say my rating is solely based on the handling of the situation and professionalism of management. On March 28, 2026, I booked this tour with my friend group. As boat rides were expected, it was a rocky ride to the island. The Captain instructed us to remain seated while the boat is in motion to avoid injuries. As instructed, I was seated during the entire boat ride. Above me was a large speaker and during the boat right the speaker fell landing on my head and shoulder. Due to this incident, I no longer was able to enjoy the experience or amenities the tour provided. I no longer drank alcohol because my head continue to hurt more with drinking and overtime my shoulder began to hurt more. This accident was not a life threatening situation, which is why I didn't request to be taken back to the mainland and go to the Hospital. Due to this situation, I didn't get off the boat or continue to drink the alcoholic beverages provided. I attempted to get a full refund of my personal ticket, however; was unsuccessful. I reported the incident to the Captain and an incident report was taken. The Captain instructed me to speak to the owner and provided her number. I spoke with her over the phone and explained the incident 2 days after, in which she stated she was aware. I kindly requested a refund due to it being negligent on their end for not properly placing and fastening such a large speaker over their clients heads. The woman was very defensive and stated that "if I felt that bad, I should've went to the Hospital and requested a ferry back to the mainland". I then explained to her, not all injuries require a hospital visit and if she's questioning the accident, to ask her crew and pictures that were taken on the boat prior to me getting off. The Captain took pictures and felt the lump on my head. I then told her that I just couldn't enjoy the experience so I no longer drank the alcoholic drinks and didn't get off the boat when we arrived at the island. She stated to me "just because you didn't get off the boat doesn't mean you were feeling bad, many people don't get off boat". I then tell her the fact of the matter is the accident happened, her crew witnessed it, there are visible injuries that will leave a scar, and thank God I didn't get a concussion, all I'm requesting for is a full refund of one ticket (mine) because it was very negligent from her company. She stated that she will give me a call back. It is April 9th, 2026, and I have yet to receive a call or email from this company. Honestly, if it wasn't for this accident, I would've definitely loved and enjoyed this tour. Unfortunately, I just personally had this experience and wanted to share how incidents will be handled if you decide to book with them. read more

This is a tourist trap disguised as a booze cruise. A disappointment for our family (of 4, kids 13y and 11y.) Five minutes out to sea, and a carabiner became loose and swung around the boat for a while. One passenger was struck on the face. The crew were sharing a meal from takeout boxes. Then our captain struggled to park the boat at the beach, hitting other nearby boats twice. Upon anchoring, we were informed there wouldn't be snorkeling due to water conditions (disappointing but understandable), which was followed by more jokes about the quantity of rum on the boat. The crew were friendly and seemed to think their job was party hype, as they didn't offer any guide or tour information whatsoever. This was an overpriced booze cruise, and I would not recommend. I especially do NOT recommend for families. read more

We decided to pick the sunset tour, which was a perfect choice. Started out leaving the dock then once out of the marina the sails went up! We were sailing! Was such a cool experience to feel drifting over the water by just the breeze. Then we landed at the reef where we anchored. All the snorkeling gear was provided and the reef was beautiful. After an house of snorkeling we landed in the island. The water crystal clear and the crew set up a fresh Punic on the boat consisting of : Sandwich's with freshly made bread, turkey/ham, chicken salad or tuna salad was the choices pair with all the condiments, freshly made pasta salad, fresh fruit cut up on the spot.. all this with endless drinks adult version or virgin your choice. And yes unlimited. The crew was amazing making sure you were always okay and had a drink or two! The tour ended sailing back to the marina as the sun dipped behind the island of Puerto Rico the sight was beautiful. The crew was awesome and so friendly. Definitely recommend to those trying to party for their was music bumping and people dancing aboard. Great for birthdays, anniversary's or any celebration! read more

Super fun crew with organized logistics. The Icacos is only 30min ride away. Need to be a good swimmer to enjoy the snorkeling due to the strong current. The crew made the trip. Charming, fun and clearly enjoying themselves. read more

I'm so happy we chose the Salty Dog for our excursion! The staff went above and beyond to make sure our family had fun. Amanda was THE best hostess and two of the guys were able to find my husband's wedding ring that fell off after he jumped in the water off the back of the boat! They dove in right away to help and after about 10 minutes found it in the water about 10 feet deep! We couldn't believe it! We would highly recommend booking with this crew! read more

Our group of adults paid $130 per person for a boat trip. The crew consisted of three people who seemed to resent having passengers. The women yelled at guests multiple times without any clear reason. The man made no eye contact and threw bread at my husband during what passed for lunch (cold cuts, potato chips, some fruit, cheap rum if you drink). There was no tour, no information about where we were or what we were seeing, no real instructions. Then they'd get irritated when guests didn't know what to do. The anchor got hit by another boat and started to drift, so the crew had to motor away to re-anchor, leaving 20-plus people standing on a cold, windy beach. No explanation. No timeline. Just "stay on the beach" as the boat pulled away. When my husband waded in to see what was happening, one of the crew screamed at him in front of everyone and told us we were "the worst group ever." We were sober, calm adults waiting in the wind for a boat that left without us. Save your money. This is not it. read more

5/5 - An Amazing Experience! What an amazing experience! I had so much fun from start to finish. They provided everything -- drinks, water, food, clean bathrooms, and great music. The crew was very polite, friendly, and knowledgeable about sea safety, which made me feel completely safe the entire time. The islands we visited were absolutely beautiful, and the whole trip felt like being on a family boat -- warm, fun, and perfectly organized. Everything was spotless, comfortable, and full of good vibes. I highly recommend this experience 1000%! LMOCORO read more

For families considering booking with Salty Dog, keep in mind the trip includes unlimited alcoholic beverages. While the crew is not wholely responsible for the clientele, unlimited alcohol increases the chances of uninhibited behavior and Salty Dog provided no guardrails for families with children. Drinking and dancing are part of having a good time, however graphic and suggestive dancing (well, pantamiming sex) in front of children crosses a line in a boat with limited space. We experienced an "adults only" excursion. As the hosts of the excursion, the crew should have accepted responsibility to moderate things - maybe guided my family to another part of the boat (though space was limited), asked the dancers to stay on one side of the stern as opposed to taking over the entire back of the boat, or cut off the alcohol. Instead, the crew's reaction to the situation was to increase the volume of the music. This ending of the excursion took away from the snorkling and island experience. If you are looking for a snorkling adventure with your kids, do your research and ask questions. If a company advertises unlimited rum drinks on its trips, it's a red flag. read more

From the moment we stepped aboard the catamaran, we knew we were in for something special. Joshua (Captain) and the crew were incredibly welcoming, professional, and full of energy, setting the tone for a day of pure relaxation and adventure. The catamaran itself was spacious, spotless, and beautifully maintained. We sailed across crystal-clear waters, with panoramic views of the coastline that were simply breathtaking. There was plenty of shaded seating, open deck space for sunbathing, and even a netted area to lounge right over the sea. Our stops included a stunning snorkeling spot teeming with vibrant marine life, and a secluded beach where we enjoyed swimming and some much-needed downtime. The crew provided snorkeling gear and safety instructions, making it a smooth experience even for beginners. Lunch was a delicious spread of fresh, fruit, sandwiches served with refreshing drinks that kept flowing throughout the journey and Bad Bunny playing in the background, creating the perfect island vibe, simply iconic!!! Whether you're looking for relaxation, adventure, or just a unique way to see the coastline, this catamaran excursion is a must. We left with sun-kissed skin, full hearts, and unforgettable memories. Highly recommended! read more

Had the best time, and the crew was great! So friendly and went above and beyond with making the trip one to remember. Highly recommend.

This was an amazing experience. I booked this excursion for my birthday and wasn't sure what to expect since it was my first catamaran and snorkeling experience.We went with the morning excursion and it was well worth the $92. We decided to drive instead of paying the $50 for transportation. It was about a 50 minute drive from San Juan/Isla Verde and the drive was easy, no crazy roads. Parking was on the street and check-in was easy. The crew was super friendly and professional, and made sure everyone had a good time. I felt safe every part of the trip. I plan on coming back in October and will definitely book again. read more

The crew was helpful and Friendly. They made the trip fun and chill at the same time.

I booked this for a friends trip and this team did not disappoint. We opted for the $33 round trip addition. Pick up was delayed but they more than made up for it on the boating trip. Let me tell you that boat was a party from start to finish. Think unlimited drinks and a crew that was ready to dance. Our first stop was snorkeling for about a hour. This experience is more for people who have snorkeled in the past, as they didn't give too many pointers on how to do it; however, it is a available. Then it was off to Icacos Island. We spent a couple hours here just lounging on the beach and swimming and eating lunch which was pretty simple but filling. Overall if you're trying to be on somebody's boat in PR, this was the best bang for your buck and the most fun. Book them!! read more

What a time we had! I took a group of 12 on this boat we had an amazing time. Captain Joshua and his mates Veronica and Jowan were very funny and personable. They were EXTREMELY helpful and responded to all of our needs. The rip current was a bit rough the day we went but some of us were still able to snorkel without issue. Our little ones and seniors had a difficult time and had to come back on the boat. The ages ranged from 9 to 75. It was difficult for my in laws in laws to get on and off the boat due to the short ladder at the back of the boat. If anyone has mobility issues (knee/back etc.) you should take that into consideration. When we went to the small island to swim, it was glorious! The view was wonderful. The water was beautiful. The staff even came the edge of the boat to bring us drinks while we were chillin' in the water. All in all, I highly recommend it for younger folks, 1000%. I dont know that I'd take elderly folks on it, tho, due on/off boat issue. It's a party boat atmosphere with flowing drinks and great sandwiches and snacks. We will definitely be back again! read more

Loved the experience. It was an awesome ride. On the ocean. The crew (Capt. Tito, Paula, Jeremy and complete forgot the other guy, but he was great as well. 100% will recommend this boat and crew, we had an amazing time. They took us to the snorkeling site that was amazing. read more

The Salty Dog - Great time and Captain Scottie was awesome - Sailing Near Me - Fajardo, Puerto Rico

We had a great time on The Salty Dog catamaran! They were very accommodating to us and our 2-year old on board. They provided us all with the appropriate sized life jackets and child snorkel gear. We did the 8am-1pm tour and it was an ample amount of time to experience a beautiful private island and then snorkel on the reef. The beach alone was worth it for the trip. The Crew was very friendly and fun and the drinks were all included. They provided a wide array of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages/juices. The food provided was plentiful. We would highly recommend going! read more

We went on Sunday 3/12/23. This was my 2nd trip with this guide. The 1st trip in 2019 was far better than this time around. Boat was too crowded. We didn't do any snorkeling. And it was NOT as fun. My advice to anyone thinking of snorkeling. DO NOT buy any tickets without checking the rip current weather. It may be sunny, but it NOT necessarily great for snorkeling. If the rip tides bad 5 days prior to your plan trip, I can guarantee you it will be bad for days. For $102 pp just hanging out in one island (Icacos) was pretty boring. I wished the company offered discount since snorkeling was part of the paid price that we did NOT get a chance to do. Boring crew, Crowded boat, Not much going on = Boring Trip. read more

Such a wonderful trip! We booked this at the last minute as we were looking for something to do on our last day in Puerto Rico. We took six people ranging in age from 5-85! We all had the most amazing time and will remember it forever. We took the afternoon sail between 3-7 which is perfect timing for those who don't want to stay out too late. The crew are all amazing and we couldn't have asked for more! Thank you read more

We just got back from Puerto Rico and the highlight of our trip was definitely the catamaran tour with the Salty Dog crew! We booked the private "sunset tour" because of the time difference between California and PR, there was NO WAY we were gonna make a 8 am tour (5 am our time, not including getting up, ready and driving that wat) The crew was amazing and so nice. They let us play our own music and we opt for an hour at a private beach and an hour snorkeling... when we got back they had our snacks set up and it was the best because we were all definitely in need for some snacks when we got back on the boat. If you are looking for a water tour the next time you are in Puerto Rico, look no further, seriously !!! i researched a bunch of places and this was the way to go. read more

A little surprised by all the stellar 5 star reviews. Perhaps it was just our trip that had issues, but on July 4th (morning trip) they ran out of snorkels!! How do you advertise a snorkeling excursion, and not have enough snorkels for everyone! That was a little frustrating, we paid $100 per person, plus $50 roundtrip transport, and my partner and I wound up having to share a snorkel. Besides that, the drinks were decent, but very very weak. I had 4, and at most felt a littleeeeeeee tipsy at the end, and I'm a 5'1 girl. Truly I think this was a 3.5 star experience, but I'm rounding up because the island icacos was beautiful, the sailing was a great experience, and I'd probably do it again (and bring my own snorkel). For the price we paid, the crew should make sure there's enough equipment for everyone onboard. read more

I have no complaints! Booking a date for the catamaran was super easy. The crew was great! Super friendly and helpful. We had a great time.

OMG I can't say enough about the Salty Dog Catamaran and their crew. From safety procedures to the unlimited pina coladas/rum punches this was by far one of the best snorkeling tours I've been on. Captain and his crew were attentive to all the passengers needs and what a VIBE on the boat with all the other passengers who were out to party and have a remarkable experience just like us. Thank you Salty Dog we will be back for sure read more
