Frequently Asked Questions for Blue Doubloon Day Sail: Private Catamaran Experience in Old San Juan

Question 1

What is a bareboat charter?

Accepted Answer

A bareboat charter is a legal arrangement where the guest (you!) takes full responsibility for the vessel—including hiring the captain and provisioning the boat. For groups larger than 6, U.S. Coast Guard regulations require this model. We’ll provide you with a list of qualified captains to choose from, and once you select one, you simply pay them separately (between $450-$750 depending on length). It’s still a turnkey experience—we’re happy to assist with provisioning, add-ons, and anything else you need.

Question 2

Is every charter private?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All of our trips are completely private. You’ll never share the catamaran with other guests. Whether you're a couple or a group of 12, the entire experience is reserved just for you and your crew.

Question 3

Can we bring our own food and drinks?

Accepted Answer

Yes! For bareboat charters (7–13 guests), you’re responsible for provisioning the trip—but we’re happy to assist with catering, bar setup, or special requests. For our all-inclusive and full-day sails (up to 6 guests), food and drinks are already included.

Question 4

What should we bring with us?

Accepted Answer

Sunscreen, swimsuits, towels, sunglasses, and a good playlist if you want to take over the Bluetooth system! We provide coolers, ice, cups, and all the essentials.

Question 5

Is snorkeling gear provided?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for full-day sail & snorkel excursions, we provide masks, snorkels, and flotation aids. If you have your own gear you prefer, feel free to bring it along.

Question 6

What happens in case of bad weather?

Accepted Answer

We monitor conditions closely and will never sail if it’s unsafe. In the case of unsafe weather, we will offer to reschedule your trip or issue a full refund.
