Schaefer 45' Private Sunset & Bay Charter | Old San Juan & El Morro

Owner's Description

Welcome aboard the Schaefer 45 - a Brazilian-built luxury sport yacht based at San Juan Bay Marina, minutes from Old San Juan, Condado and Isla Verde. If you are staying in San Juan, this is your charter: no long drive to the east coast and no early wake-up call. Walk on, and within minutes you are cruising San Juan Bay with El Morro rising beside you. This is a bay and sunset experience. We cruise the historic San Juan Bay waterfront - the colonial walls of Old San Juan, El Morro and San Cristobal - and time the route so golden hour hits while you are on the water. It is the most photographed skyline in Puerto Rico, and the best vantage point of it is from the deck of this yacht. The Schaefer 45 is sleek, fast and photogenic. Hand-laid teak decks, a motorized glass hardtop that opens at the touch of a button, color-changing LED lighting inside and underwater, a fully air-conditioned cabin with private head and shower, and triple Mercury outboards. Bluetooth multi-zone sound throughout. A professional captain and mate are on board for every charter. Please note: charters from San Juan are sunset and bay cruises. We do not run beach trips to Icacos, Palomino or Culebra from this marina. If a beach day is what you want, ask us about our Fajardo fleet and we will point you to the right boat.
