Private Boat Rental with Captain for Flexible Island Exploration
Boat Rental
A boat rental with captain offers a more personalized way to explore Palawan’s islands and coastal areas.

Available in destinations such as El Nido, Coron, San Vicente, Puerto Princesa, Balabac, and Linapacan, private boat rentals let you enjoy beaches, lagoons, and remote islands at your own pace. With a local boat captain handling navigation and sea conditions, you can focus on enjoying the experience.
Best for couples, families, and groups who prefer privacy and itinerary flexibility, boat rentals with captain offer a relaxed and immersive way to experience Palawan by sea.

Boat Rental — Private Sea Access, Flexible Exploration
A private boat rental is ideal for travelers who want freedom on the water—custom routes, longer beach stops, and a schedule designed around your group rather than a fixed tour lineup. This option is popular for families, couples, photographers, and travelers seeking a more personal island experience.
Boat rentals require advance coordination for vessel size, fuel planning, crew availability, permits, and sea conditions. Submitting an inquiry allows us to match your intended route and group size with appropriate boats that can legally and safely operate on your chosen date.
Because boats are limited and weather-dependent, early inquiries help avoid last-minute availability issues and unrealistic expectations. Our role is to coordinate logistics— while operational decisions remain with the licensed boat operator.
By submitting this inquiry or proceeding with booking/payment, you acknowledge and agree to our Terms of Service, Refund Policy, Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, General Disclaimer, Disclosure, and the Boat Rental (By Sea) Waiver & Disclaimer, which forms part of your agreement prior to vessel release or departure.
