The Short Answer

Is There Shade or a Covered Area on the Boat?

Most boats in the fleet have at least some kind of shaded or covered area onboard — often a hardtop, T-top or cabin area — but exactly how much shade there is varies from boat to boat, since the fleet ranges from smaller center consoles up to larger yachts with more covered deck space. Because of that variation, it's worth asking the team on WhatsApp about the specific boat you're booking if shade is a priority for your group, especially for guests who are sun-sensitive or if you have young kids aboard. Regardless of which boat you choose, packing reef-safe sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses is a good idea for any Puerto Rico boat day.
