This area's coral reefs are considered some of the best in the Caribbean. The horseshoe-shaped Playa Flamenco is the most popular beach on the island with clear water and no surf, making it a good place for swimming and diving, and the white sands are lined with palm trees. Isla de Culebra National Wildlife Refuge is a well-preserved piece of nature that includes the entire coastline of Culebra with more than 20 offshore bays. More than a third of Culebra is designated as the Culebra National Wildlife Refuge, including Cayo Luis Peña, a small island just west of Culebra. Coves and rugged terrain make for some interesting but challenging hiking opportunities. So set sail and mix your day on the water with some stop-offs on land.

A top boat rental itinerary for the weekend in Puerto Rico could start in Puerto del Rey Marina, the largest marina of its kind in the Caribbean. It offers many facilities that you can use before setting sail, including WiFi, showers, laundry facilities, and a bar. Head towards the small island of Isla Palominos, a paradise of nature. Located in the Spanish Virgin Islands, this private island is renowned for its festive and party atmosphere. From Isla Palominos head east to Culebra, stopping at Caya Luis Pena. Caya Luis Pena is a great place to stop on your journey for lunch or to swim and snorkel, before heading on to Culebra and the inlet, Ensenada Honda, for an overnight stay.

Ensenada Honda is the island’s largest inlet, and it's only town, with a small-town vibe. The town’s main industry is fishing so try some delicious seafood there or have your crew cook for you onboard. Culebra has a large turtle population, and you may even see turtle eggs hatching and the baby turtles scurrying their way to the ocean. When travelling from Culebra to Bahia del Almodovar, stop off at the uninhabited wildlife refuge of Culebrita. On Culebrita you can hike to the lighthouse at the top of the cliff, which has a great view of one of the Caribbean’s most beautiful beaches, Tortuga Beach. Take your time to swim, snorkel or sunbathe here before heading home.

There are lots of activities to pursue on your boat rental in Puerto Rico, but deep-sea fishing is spectacular. The most popular catch on your deep sea fishing boat rental in Puerto Rico is likely to be Blue Marlin, followed by White Marlin, Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Yellowfin Tuna–all your big game favourites. Whether you’re a tournament pro or a first-time angler, Puerto Rico’s deep sea fishing is fantastic. Blue Marlin show up within swimming distance of land and fishing boat rentals rarely go more than 10 miles offshore. Even a half-day trip can be hugely enjoyable. Mahi Mahi don’t get that big here, but there are lots of “peanut” Mahi, which makes for a delicious meal at the end of your boat rental day. Whenever you come, you’ll always find fish to catch. Blue Marlin peak from February to June around San Juan, and has a second season along the west coast from August to October. White Marlin appear around April-July, while Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, and Wahoo peak from November to April. Puerto Rico holds over a dozen Billfish tournaments each year.
