Set sail with the Dragon Fruit for a counter culture cruise. - We love to snorkel and have a good time on the water. If the other charters in Fajardo are a little to boojie for your group of 6 or less, give this crew a go! Good gear, boat with plenty of shade, solid ladder for big people, nice grilled lunch made for a five star February day. If you looking for more Gilligan's Island than thumping reggae-ton. This colorful boat and grew are it. Can't miss the Dragon Fruit in the marina.

Perfect Snorkeling Adventure! - This was the perfect snorkel adventure for our group of 5. Ruthie and Scott were great guides, and the Dragonfruit is a great boat. Ruthie explained everything very clearly and patiently, so that even our first time snorkeler felt comfortable. She helped make sure all the gear fit right, and was with us for the whole snorkel while Scott cooked a yummy dinner for us on the boat. I highly recommend this snorkeling adventure!

Great snorkeling trip in Puerto Rico! - We so enjoyed our outing with Captain Scotty and Ruthie. They were a great host and hostess. Ruthie was a wonderful guide as she led us around the reef pointing out various fish as we snorkeled. Scotty fixed a great meal and we enjoyed drying out on deck and eating after we finished snorkeling. We would go again with them!

Excellent adventure and wonderful hosts - What a treat this was and most certainly the highlight of our trip! Ruthie was patient and such a wonderful teacher. She snorkeled with us and made sure to point out all of the sea wonders. Scottie was so fun and an excellent cook! Both of them took great care of our kids as well and of a mom who got a bit seasick! Highly recommend.

When can we go back????? - If there was a button for 6 stars, I would have pressed it without hesitation! Our experience with Captain Scotty and Ruthie was absolutely extraordinary. When we asked our sons, aged 14 and 16, about their favorite memories from the trip, their immediate response is always the adventure with Captain Scotty and Ruthie! They made the entire experience unforgettable. The level of care they provided for our safety and enjoyment was truly top-notch. One of our family members is usually quite nervous when it comes to anything involving water, but Ruthie worked her magic and put her at ease. Her expertise and calming presence were instrumental in making the trip enjoyable for everyone. From the moment we embarked on the journey until the very end, everything was simply fantastic. Captain Scotty's skillful navigation and vast knowledge of the area made the trip smooth and exciting. We had an incredible snorkeling adventure viewing all the beauty of the reef with Ruthie.. Afterward, Captain Scotty surprised us with a delightful meal that exceeded all expectations. We can't recommend this experience highly enough! It was an absolute pleasure to spend time with Captain Scotty and Ruthie, and we're already looking forward to our next trip to Puerto Rico so that we can embark on another unforgettable adventure with them. If you're seeking an exceptional, safe, and fun-filled excursion, this is it! Trust me, you won't be disappointed. Prepare yourself for a journey filled with joy, great food, and memories that will last a lifetime.

Family snorkeling trip - Thank you so much to Ruthie and Captain Scotty for a wonderful snorkeling adventure for our family! This was exactly what we were hoping for- an authentic experience in Puerto Rico and it was a great learning experience too as beginner snorkelers. The lunch was delicious, the views of the surrounding islands were so pretty, and very thankful for this experience and these two wonderful people!

Snorkel trip with kids that couldnt swim - We recently had the most incredible private snorkel trip for a group of 6 with Ruthie and Scott on the Dragon Fruit, and I cannot recommend it enough! From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of amazing. Firstly, Ruthie and Scott were exceptional hosts. They were not only extremely knowledgeable about the local marine life, but also passionate about preserving and protecting the ecosystem. Their enthusiasm was contagious and made the trip all the more enjoyable. The Dragon Fruit itself was a beautiful and well-maintained boat. It provided a comfortable and safe environment for our adventure. The equipment provided was top-notch, ensuring we had the best snorkeling experience possible. As we set off, Ruthie and Scott navigated us to the most breathtaking snorkel spot. The coral reefs we explored were teeming with vibrant marine life. It felt like swimming in an underwater paradise. Ruthie and Scott pointed out various species, offering fascinating insights about the ecosystem and its inhabitants. We were able to see turtles, stingray, eagle spotted ray, a golden starfish, and so many more! Throughout the trip, their attention to detail and commitment to our safety was evident. Ruthie provided guidance on snorkeling techniques and ensured everyone felt comfortable in the water. Ruthie really helped the kids get comfortable and enjoy their experience. Their expertise and professionalism were unmatched. To top it all off, we were treated to a delicious and refreshing snack & meal on board. The personalized service and small group setting made the experience feel exclusive and intimate. In summary, our private snorkel trip with Ruthie and Scott on the Dragon Fruit was an absolute highlight of my vacation. Their expertise, passion, and genuine care for the environment created an unforgettable experience. If you're seeking a truly exceptional snorkeling adventure, look no further than this incredible duo and their fantastic boat.

Like family - Spending the afternoon with Captain Scotty and Guide Ruthie was the highlight of our entire PR trip. They treated us like family and accommodated all of our needs. Skip the big party barges and become part of the Dragonfruit family.
