  I have had the enormous pleasure of going out w Simpatico Charters twice. my first outing w Capt. Scotty and First Mate /Certified Dive Instructor Ruthie was for a 2… read more tank dive at the gorgeous reefs off of Fajardo. I can say it was 100% one of the best dive experiences I have had in my 3 yrs of being a diver. Ruthie was extremely attentive and paired up w me since I had been out of the water for a while. The in depth knowledge that they both share is way above 5 stars…the food provided was fantastic and well thought out. My 2nd outing w them was w a group of friends snorkeling. I learned so much about all the reef critters and how to spot them. the food again was superior. I felt so at ease w them that I am now going to do my AOW and Rescue Diver courses w/ Instructor Ruthie. This charter is very tuned in to everyone’s safety and enjoyment…Class Act!

Whether you are a newbie to… read more the snorkel world or if you have had tons of practice, the crew on The Dragon Fruit caters to all experience levels. The lunch cooked up by the captain himself was DELICIOUS. We made multiple stops and saw tons of ocean life and learned new information along the way.

We are so happy we booked this trip, and can’t wait to book again when we return to Puerto Rico.

  Our family had an awesome afternoon with Ruthie and Captain Scottie! We were booking last minute and were super lucky this has just come available due to some other… read more cancellations.

For a family that was… read more new to snorkeling they were detailed in their instructions and Ruthie was there in the water helping and guiding us throughout the experience.

  I had some diving excursions planned with another company in Fajardo, and the day before I arrived to PR they cancelled my trip due to mechanical issues. When I got… read more to Fajardo the following day I scrambled around the marina to try to find an alternative and was lucky enough to be given Ruthie and Capt Scottie’s info. I called and spoke to Ruthie, explaining my situation. She was nice enough to let me join her and her friends on an outing the following day.

Hospitable doesn’t begin to describe how warmly I was received and treated. Ruthie took her time to make sure I felt comfortable in the water as it had been a couple of years since I have been diving, her friends were super chill, and Scottie provided a great energy and potato salad that I unfortunately couldn’t finish because I was feeling a bit sea sick.

Overall, they saved my trip as the main thing I wanted to do was go diving and only had 2 days in which to make that happen. I highly recommend them for anybody visiting Fajardo. Ohand the five spots were fantastic as well haha.

  This was one of the best experiences we had.

Capt. Scott and Ms. Ruthie were amazing. They took care of us even before we set foot on the… read more boat. They were very flexible with our requirements – diet, boarding time, and location.

We enjoyed amazing food and drinks! Ruthie is an amazing chef. She made Coquito Mojito that was exquisite. The Capt. made amazing barbecue chicken for us and Turkey sandwiches for the kids. Everyone loved the food.

Ruthie guided us through every step. She made sure we are all safe and comfortable with snorkeling and then she helped us find schools of fishes. We even saw sea turtles.

Having an entire boat to ourselves made the experience very unique and enjoyable. I would highly recommend them.

  My family and I did a sunset dinner snorkeling trip with Simpatico Charters and it was the highlight of our vacation. Ruthie led us on an amazing snorkel trip pointing… read more out and helping us to identify the fish we were seeing.

We enjoyed a beautiful sunset before heading back to the marina. Ruthie and Scott made it feel like a trip with old friends. Highly recommend.

  My family and I chartered the boat last month and had a great time. Ruthie and Captain Scott are a ton of fun, they made BBQ and ceviche for… read more lunch – both were super tasty.
