Captain Dave is the most gracious and informative captain I have ever chartered with. His 30' boat is perfect for a family of 8, his hospitality is over the top. It turns out Captain Dave is also a great cook. He prepared hamburgers for our family and even the grandchildren were impressed as they ate the 'whole' burger. We visited a number of places around the Culebrita Island for snorkeling, fishing, swimming and just relaxing ashore. I highly recommend Captain Dave's Culebra Bluewater Charters as the best on Culebra. We are looking forward to next year spending time with Captain Dave.

Our first trip to Culebra and booked a day trip with Captain Dave to Culebrita. This was fantastic! Dave has a great boat, very friendly. Cooked us burgers and had snacks along with water. He never rushed us, we snorkeled several times until we were ready to move on. Snorkeling was some of the best we've ever seen. Definitely another trip will be booked when we return next year. This was just a perfect trip for all 6 of us. And his wife has a great shop by the ferry docks for rash guards, tshirts, hats, etc. A great day!

Captain Dave was great! He answered right away and answered all my questions. I am glad I made the reservations early since he turned down two other groups because we had already booked.
The day before our trip, he got in touch with me, gave me the GPS pin, and told us he had everything we needed, including veggie burgers since I don't eat meat.
We met him at the dock, he was all set, and we left right away. His English and Spanish were great. He docked near a beautiful snorkeling spot on the south side of the island. We were close to the path to hike up to the lighthouse, which was an easy hike but, just as he said, had beautiful panoramic views.
I had wanted to snorkel with the turtles, and even the seas were choppy, he took us to the north side. There were a few loud catamarans docked from the mainland but he knew how to direct us to the best place to see the turtles, reefs and the most interesting, and a wide variety of tropical fish.
Capt Dave had better equipment than we had. With his equipment and advice, we had an incredible day, and I saw a huge sea turtle, many smaller sea turtles, giant fish, and schools of colorful and diverse fish. We returned to the boat for a fantastic lunch prepared by Dave. The return to the boat dock was equally beautiful and quick.
My only regret was that we weren't on Culebra longer so we could charter Capt Dave to other great snorkeling spots. We plan to return and charter again.

We booked Captain Dave for our trip to Culebrita, and was it ever fantastic! The whole trip was taken at our pace, and he waited around for us while we snorkeled, wave boarded, hiked, and swam at our leisure. Never felt rushed, yet we accomplished everything we wanted to accomplish. There was a slight extra cost to take us to an additional snorkeling location, and I have to say that it was well worth it. Lunch that he fixed while we lounged on Playa Tortuga hit the spot.

Captain Dave took us to Culebrita island today. The trip was awesome. He was super attentive to everyone’s wishes and made it happen. Some wanted hiking, some wanted snorkeling, the rest wanted beach time. Captain Dave knew just the spot. His knowledge and experience of the area was a great asset for us. Dave ensures the passenger comfort as you traverse open seas which on this day weren’t too rough but not calm either. A great captain ensures each passenger has the best trip possible...Captain Dave of Culebra Bluewater Charters is a great captain. Nice boat too!

First let me say this. David is a very experienced and professional captain. He was very knowledgeable about all of the small islands you may see on the tour, and also all the marine life that you will come across. We started out fishing. Within 1 minute "literally" we caught a mackerel. We ended up catching a few more on the trip while also sight seeing, and David giving us info on the surrounding views all the while. Next we went culebrita. This is the most beautiful beach we have ever been to. Once there we snorkled, hiked around and played on the beach. I cant say it enough how great of a charter this was and how great captain David was. Thanks again David! Also if you need gear for your own excursion he owns a shop right across from the ferry that sells
All the fishing and snorkeling gear you will need.

We had an amazing charter to Culebrita, a remote island off Culebra, this week! It was spectacular! A piece of paradise for sure. Captain David and his beautiful wife Olga shared snorkeling spots, tidal pools, and even a paddle board off the beautiful Playa Tortuga! They made a delicious lunch for us of pinchos. We highly recommend this excursion on your next visit to this spectacular island, don’t miss out on this very special adventure!

We had fun with Captain Dave! He heard us talking about wanting to see a shark so he took us to see one! Culebrita beach was beautiful. The best part was that he is children friendly so our 1 1/2 year old was able to participate and have a great time swimming. Good vibe and a good time.

Captian Dave is simply the best! We packed our five kids onto his boat and just had the best day…snorkeling, hiking, and fishing. The beach on Culibrita is the most beautiful beach I’ve ever seen. The lunch he made us was delicious and everything was spot on. If you book one tour in all of Puerto Rico, make it this one. It’s a totally legit way to see the islands.

Culebra Bluewater Charters was the best part of our action-packed vacation! Dave is the absolute best, and Summer is a great bonus! Dave is very accommodating and took us to fabulous locations for hiking, fishing, snorkeling, and swimming. He cooked great burgers for us as well. I would highly recommend Bluewater Charters for an amazing adventure!
