From the water, Old San Juan loosens its formality: colorful facades and fortress silhouettes recede as the harbor opens to sun and sea. PR Rentals’ Cruise & Swim San Juan Bay — a sun-filled Bay Beach Day Cruise aboard a Stamas 31' bareboat — pairs shoreline sightlines with open-water swims, live music and karaoke, and the easy hospitality of Puerto Rican hosts. The outing is equal parts scenic sightseeing and relaxed party on the water, with guests free to bring food and drinks or hire an onboard chef. Note: a captain fee is collected at the marina for the two-hour cruise.
