4-Hour, 6-Hour, or 8-Hour Charter — Which Should I Choose?

The right duration depends on how many islands you want to see. Here's how the three most common charter lengths compare.

The Short Answer

Matching the Hours to Your Plans

A 4-hour charter is the most popular option and comfortably covers one destination like Cayo Icacos or Palomino Island, each about 15-20 minutes from Fajardo. A 6-hour charter adds enough time to visit both Icacos and Palomino in the same trip, and includes a light lunch on top of the standard snacks and drinks. An 8-hour charter is a full day trip, needed to reach farther destinations like Culebra or Vieques, each about an hour away by boat.

FAQ

Charter Duration FAQs

How many hours should I book?

4 hours covers one island comfortably, 6 hours fits two islands plus a light lunch, and 8 hours is needed for a full-day trip to Culebra or Vieques.

What's included in a 6-hour charter that isn't in a 4-hour one?

A 6-hour charter includes a light lunch on top of the standard water, sodas, ice, beer, snacks, and fruit.

Can I visit Icacos and Palomino in one trip?

Yes — a 6-hour charter is the most common way to visit both in the same day.

Do I need 8 hours for Culebra or Vieques?

Yes. Both are roughly an hour away by boat each way, requiring a full 7-8 hour charter day.

Does the price change with the duration?

Yes, longer charters cost more due to the extra time and, for 8-hour Culebra/Vieques trips, a fuel surcharge — but it's still a flat rate per boat.

Can I add a sunset stop to a longer charter?

Yes, many groups end a 6-hour charter with time to catch the sunset on the way back to the marina.
