Catamaran Spread Eagle II

What Catamaran Spread Eagle II does

Catamaran Spread Eagle II is a privately-held sailing and snorkeling tour operator founded in 1997 and based at Villa Marina Yacht Harbour Dock J in Fajardo, Puerto Rico. The company operates a single 1997 SeaRunner Catamaran that is U.S. Coast Guard certified for 49 passengers — described in its own materials as the roomiest catamaran in the Fajardo area — featuring a front stairway for island access, fresh water deck shower, sun and shade decks, a real bathroom/changing room, and quiet twin outboard engines. It runs three core tour products from Fajardo to the uninhabited Spanish Virgin Islands: a 5.5-hour Day Sail at $113 per adult ($95 child, free for infants under 2), a 2-hour Sunset Sail, and a Moonlit Sail, with corporate group, wedding, and private event charters as an additional service line.

The business model is direct-to-consumer tourism with per-person unit pricing for the public sail products and quote-based pricing for private events. Bookings are processed through an embedded FareHarbor calendar on the company website (snorkelpr.com), supplemented by phone, email, and WhatsApp channels. Customer segments include tourist families with children as young as two months through seniors in their nineties, corporate and incentive groups, wedding parties, and adventure-seeking individual travelers. Marketing is concentrated on TripAdvisor (where the company holds a 2023 Travelers' Choice award), Facebook, and Yelp, with the complimentary branded snorkel given to each passenger serving as a low-cost physical marketing artifact.

The company employs between 11 and 50 people, has no disclosed outside funding, no parent company, and no subsidiaries. Operational dependencies include a core partnership with Villa Marina for dock access and minor referral partnerships with The Fajardo Inn and Metro Car and Truck Rental. Revenue figures, ownership structure, and management team are not publicly disclosed, and the company shows no evidence of AI/ML capabilities, technology platform expansion, or fleet growth beyond the founding vessel.

While a much larger incumbent, it competes for the same tourist dollars and increasingly offers included excursion programs that overlap with day-sail tours.
• Carnival Corporation: World's largest cruise operator with extensive Caribbean and Puerto Rico port calls. Indirect competitor for tourist leisure spend and through cruise-ship-organized shore excursions that can displace independent day-sail bookings.
