Expect to pay around \u20ac450 for a boat and a captain that can accommodate 8 to 10 people.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It&#8217;s essential to find <strong>a boat with a friendly captain<\/strong>. They are the ones who will show you the best spots.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>Caribbean sun<\/strong> can be unforgiving, and a bad sunburn can make the rest of your trip much less enjoyable. Make sure to protect yourself well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Avoid stopping at Agua Azul<\/strong>. It&#8217;s a lovely public beach near Isla Bar\u00fa, but the people managing the place and restaurants are thieves. They will charge you WAY TOO MUCH for a simple lunch or a plastic chair by the water. Some boat captains might try to convince you to go there (they get a hefty commission).
