Very organized, very friendly host. Just a note that you do need to be at your pick up 90 minutes before the time of the trip. Jose and the boat crew were informative, friendly, snacks were generous and music was fun. Highly recommend.

alaina_f, May 2026
This was a nice ride on the water and the crew made it enjoyable. They provide some snacks and drinks and a little history lesson in the beginning of the ride and then you can just hang out and listen to the music.

Awesome time had by all

Enjoyable

John_C, Apr 2026
Great experience, and very informative. My wife and I really enjoyed this excursion. If you get the chance, I encourage 1st time visitors to do this trip.

Historical and fun!

Nicholas_K, Apr 2026
Excellent boat ride around the harbor. Staff provided food and drinks. Started with a history of Puerto Rico and ended with party music.

Super fun and great energy

Maureen_O, Apr 2026
They serve a small meal which is nice. I ate right before getting on which was not needed. Super friendly and great, they are generous with the drinks. Educational and very fun

Great Sunset Tour

Pat_M, Apr 2026
Delightful crew all worked together well to give us a fun evening. The pick up went very well at the hotels. Boat was comfortable.

Sunset sail in SJ

Angie_O, Apr 2026
This is a well organized activity. Turned into a fun party before returning to harbour. Tour guide Jo assistant Skippy and boat Captain made a great team for this fun filled tour

Warning!! Scam Cruise!

Jessica_B, Apr 2026
It was advertised as a sunset cruise with refreshments and drinks. The drinks they provided were $8/box “Sangriiia Gasolina” pouches that could be purchased at the local Walgreens. People could only have one each. The “food” they provided included trays with 4 grapes per person, a sandwich pinwheel, and 3-4 soggy pretzels. In addition, my guests and other parties felt unsafe on the boat. The boat was uneven and we were told not to get up because it was over capacity and would tip/rock aggressively if we did. Halfway through the captain yelled at two men in Spanish as well as the tour guide and referred to us as stupid. He also threatened to take us all back ahead of the scheduled time because he did not like the guests on the boat. Overall, it was an experience that really affected our trip and made us feel scared and unsafe. It also was not the fun cruise that the listing made it out to be.

Entertaining and...

Fantastic!

Fantastic experience, with great cultural, architectural, and comedic commentary from the crew. Highly recommend this tour

A Memory that We'll Cherish for a Lifetime

Mrs_J, Apr 2026
This was truly a memorable experience for me & my family to celebrate my mom's 75th birthday, as well as our 1st time visiting Puerto Rico. An absolutely Amazing experience all the way around. I would absolutely recommend anyone to participate in this experience. They sung happy birthday to my mom & she was all smiles. This was an experience that I know we are all always and forever going to remember as a family.

Bad, bad experience the place was a hole in the wall. They didn’t give my refunds back.

Victoria_G, Apr 2026
The worst experience ever the bus was late did not pick us up. We had to get a Uber to the location once we got to the location you had to have a code to get in there. It was in a hole in the wall. It was very cloudy and dark, so we never did get on the cruise boat and that they would not refund my money back so I had to pay twice back to my hotel from an Uber, I called the lady three and 45 times. She did not answer the phone. I left a voicemail and the company did not give my refund back so I did not get on the cruise boat but now I want my refund back. I will advise anybody who books with this company is the worst customer service in my life?

Response from Host, Apr 2026

The departure point is the San Juan Bay Marina, which does not require any access code; based on the information provided, it appears the incorrect location was used, resulting in a missed departure. Additionally, this is a sunset tour that departs before dark, so the vessel is not operating in nighttime conditions, and your description of it being “cloudy and dark” is not consistent with the tour schedule.

Debra_B, Apr 2026
The tour was great! It is highly recommended. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of good facts. Lots of fun with food, music, drinks, and great weather. Would definitely do this again.

A nice way to spend an evening out at SJ harbor.

Lakeisha_M, Apr 2026
Perfect weather for a nice evening boat ride in San Juan Harbor. Good music, good company, a very knowledgeable tour guide plus free food or should I say food was included in the price. Would definitely recommend to others.

Sunset PR cruise

Shandra_S, Mar 2026
Beautiful scenery, history, snacks, and beverages (alcoholic and non alcoholic Staff was super friendly, fun, and energetic.

Wonderful end to end vacation

Angela_T, Mar 2026
Really nice relaxing trip around outside of San Juan. Captain Angel very accommodating! Tour guide Alex (think that was his name) was very detailed. We loved the vibe. One piece of feedback would be maybe have guide provide different interesting nuances of Puerto Rico instead of the normal facts that were recited which most people know. Maybe suggest things to do on the island like talk about our coffee production just something different to better entertain folks.

Great! Informative, fun,...

Jodi_W, Mar 2026
Great! Informative, fun, knowledgeable staff. Of course a beautiful sunset! Absolutely loved seeing the wall around Old San Juan from the water. Would definitely do again!

The Ultimate Happy Boat - Just DO IT

Cathy_B, Mar 2026
What a terrific experience from the timely personal call advising of pickup times and locations, prompt pickup and drop off, efficient boarding…but the best part was the engaging crew, terrific history lessons interspersed with kickass playlist of music we all jammed, danced and sang along to. Perfect blend of folks on the boat. Want a terrific end to your day? Take this sunset boat cruise and have the time of your life!

Sunset boat tour

Denise_B, Mar 2026
This boat tour came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. The ride was smooth and the harbor was beautiful as the sun set over it. But what really made it was the charm and enthusiasm of our crew and particularly Rafael who had us all clapping along to music and singing happy Birthday in Spanish. He pointed out the great sites, sprinkled in some history and made sure we all got just the right pictures. Highly recommend this tour.
