Every charter guest meets the fleet — the boats, the crew, the islands. Fewer meet the story behind it: one captain, one boat, and thirty years on the same stretch of Caribbean water.
One Boat, 1995
Boating Puerto Rico started in 1995 with one boat and a simple idea: give guests a truly private, all-inclusive day on the water with no shortcuts and no hidden costs. Captain Reinaldo founded the company with that mission, long before “all-inclusive charter” was a common term in Puerto Rico.
Three Decades on the Water
Captain Reinaldo has spent over 30 years on the water in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. He holds a U.S. Coast Guard Captain’s License — a federal requirement, not just a company standard — and has navigated every corner of Puerto Rico’s coast and islands.
A U.S. Coast Guard license means the captain has met federal training, experience, and safety standards to legally carry paying passengers. It's the difference between a licensed charter and an unlicensed one — ask any operator in Puerto Rico if their captain is USCG-licensed.
Every Corner of Puerto Rico — and Beyond
Three decades on these waters means Captain Reinaldo has navigated Icacos, Palomino, Culebra, Culebrita, Vieques, and the US Virgin Islands — the same islands guests visit on charter today. “The Caribbean has been our office for 30 years,” is how the company puts it. “We know these waters, these islands, and where the sea turtles are at Icacos at 9am on a Tuesday.”
A Fleet Built on Repeat Guests
The fleet grew from one boat in 1995 to 20+ vessels today, ranging from 27ft to 82ft — the largest private charter fleet based at Marina Puerto del Rey in Fajardo, the largest marina in the Caribbean. That growth didn’t come from advertising alone: guests kept coming back, and kept sending their friends.
