Sun, Snorkel and Silent Bays: A 3.5‑Hour Luxury Cruise Around Vieques.
Alegría Day Cruises is a popular 3.5‑hour day outing offered twice daily aboard a luxury motor vessel that visits two of the best spots surrounding Vieques. The itinerary balances water time—snorkeling, clear‑bottom kayaking, stand‑up paddling and even diving off the stern—with plenty of deck space to lounge in sun or shade. Drinks, light snacks and quality snorkel gear are supplied, and the operator limits each cruise to small private groups for an intimate experience.

Small private charters (maximum six passengers)
Each cruise is limited to a maximum of six passengers, available as a two‑person rate or private charters for three to six people, so the boat feels private and unhurried.
All water toys and snorkel equipment provided
Quality snorkeling equipment (mask, snorkel, fins and PFDs), two clear‑bottom double kayaks and a stand‑up paddleboard are included, along with water and light snacks—so you can arrive ready to play.
Two scenic stops around Vieques for swimming and snorkeling
The cruise makes two stops at prime local spots for snorkeling and swimming; when not in the water there are ample decks for sunbathing, shade and relaxation.
What the day feels like
What the outing feels like
The rhythm is short and deliberate: a morning or afternoon embarkation, a calm cruise to nearby reefs, two extended water stops where guests can snorkel, paddle clear‑bottom kayaks, hop on a SUP or dive off the stern, and then a relaxed run back with time to dry out and snack. The vessel’s decks make it easy to alternate activity with downtime, and the small passenger cap keeps the atmosphere personal.
