About this experience

Culebra is where Puerto Ricans go when they want the best — and the beaches on its southern coast are among the most spectacular in the Caribbean. Secluded, pristine, and only reachable by private boat, they remain one of the island's best-kept secrets. Depart from Safe Harbor Puerto del Rey Marina aboard our stunning Albemarle, the Carolina Classic 36-ft Express Yacht. Built for offshore waters — powerful, stable, and designed to handle the open water crossing comfortably. The approximately one-hour ride to Culebra is part of the experience: open sea, salt air, and nothing but water on the horizon. The covered cockpit is where the day happens: spacious, shaded, and set up for dining, relaxing, and taking in the Caribbean from every angle. The cabin below provides a bathroom and storage when you need it, while the cockpit stays open, airy, and entirely yours. Perfect for families with kids, couples, groups of friends, bachelorette parties, and celebrations.
