The Short Answer

Which Boat Is Best for Island Hopping?

Island hopping — visiting Icacos, Palomino and sometimes a third stop in one day — works well on a few different types of boats, and the best fit depends on your group. Faster, efficient boats like the center consoles and express boats in the fleet can cover the distance between stops quickly, leaving more time at anchor. Larger yachts carry bigger groups comfortably and offer more deck space for everyone to spread out between stops, though they may take a little longer getting from point to point. There isn't one single "best" boat for everyone — message the team with your group size and which islands you want to hit, and they'll recommend the right fit from the fleet.
