Icacos Cay

There's no greater joy than sailing to Icacos Cay on a sunny breezy day! The local fishermen's sloops are a wonderful way to day sail to this, most beautiful of all keys off the Northeast tip of Puerto Rico. Icacos Cay is in the Cordillera Reserve administered by the Department of Natural Resources. Sailing there takes about an hour and the trip back is straight downwind and takes around a half hour.

The Fishermen of Las Croabas are some of the last who are barely able to support themselves from the sea. Two or three of the fishermen supplement their income by taking passengers, on their sailboats, to Icacos Cay for the day. The younger generation of fishermen prefer motorboats and will take you from the Las Croabas Dock to Icacos Cay, then return and pick you up later.

The Eldest of the Fishermen who still sails is Raymundo Hernandez. His seven sons comprise most of the boatmen who will vie for you to be their passengers on their motorboats. Raymundo's sisters' son, Freddy Rodriguez is the other sailor. He has a sailboat (see picture on left) and a motorboat. Freddy is very responsible and has been doing this forever. He also conducts boat tours into the bioluminescent bay at night
