Boat Rental Puerto Rico — Private Crewed Boat & Yacht Charters from Fajardo
A boat rental in Puerto Rico through Charters Puerto Rico is a fully crewed private charter: you rent the entire vessel with a licensed captain and crew for up to 40 guests, departing Puerto del Rey Marina in Fajardo. Every boat is custom-quoted by vessel and itinerary — priced per boat, not per person — with no bareboat license, security deposit, or self-navigation required.

Want to rent a boat for a day on the water around Culebra, Icacos, or Vieques? Instead of a self-drive bareboat rental, we match you with a private crewed boat or yacht from our — captain, fuel, ice, water, and snorkel gear included. You relax; the crew handles the navigation, anchoring, and route. Caribbean water along Puerto Rico's east coast stays a swimmable 79–85°F (26–29°C) year-round (NOAA), so the snorkeling is excellent in every season.
Why Rent a Crewed Boat Instead of a Bareboat?
Most visitors searching for a Puerto Rico boat rental actually want a private day on the water without the work of operating a vessel. A crewed charter delivers exactly that — here's why it beats a bareboat rental for almost every group.
Licensed Captain & Crew Included
Every charter comes with a USCG-licensed captain and crew who handle navigation, anchoring, and safety. You never touch the helm unless you want to — the day is yours to enjoy.
No Boating License or Experience Needed
Bareboat rentals require a boating license, sailing résumé, and a refundable security deposit. A crewed charter has none of that — anyone can book, regardless of experience.

What Affects Puerto Rico Boat Rental Pricing?
Private boat rentals in Puerto Rico are priced per vessel (not per person) and custom-quoted by itinerary. Several factors shape the quote for your day on the water.
Vessel Type & Size
A center-console speedboat, a sailing catamaran, and a luxury motor yacht each carry a different rate. Larger vessels with more capacity and amenities sit at the higher end.
Charter Duration
Half-day rentals (about 4–5 hours) cost less than full-day charters (about 6–7 hours to Culebra). Sunset cruises run 2–3 hours.
Destination & Distance
A quick run to Icacos uses less fuel and time than a full-day crossing to Culebra or Vieques, which is reflected in the per-vessel quote.
Season & Add-Ons
Peak-season dates, catering, premium bar packages, and water toys can adjust the total. We itemize every add-on so the quote is transparent.
