Captain Luis was wonderful and attentive throughout the trip. The charcuterie and cake were delightful additions that enhanced our experience. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would certainly recommend it to others.

July 3, 2025

First off, Captain Luis and Andrea were absolutely incredible, ensuring our trip was incredibly relaxing! We gained extensive knowledge about San Juan and sailing, all while savoring homemade sangria and engaging conversation. They exceeded our expectations to make it an unforgettable experience. We felt completely secure as three women on a solo boat journey. The views were breathtaking—just book it; you won't be disappointed! Plus, it's conveniently accessible from San Juan/Condado!

July 3, 2025

Luis and Andrea were excellent hosts during our sailing excursion in San Juan Bay. They were knowledgeable, accommodating, and graciously allowed each of us a chance to steer the boat. Highly recommended for the scenic views and historical insights!

July 3, 2025

My two friends and I booked this for our first morning in PR, and we were delighted we did! Communication and coordination leading up to our trip were excellent. The excursion itself was informative, enjoyable, and perfectly balanced. Captains Luis and Gaby were incredibly friendly, personable, and ensured our comfort and enjoyment throughout. Our only regret was not booking a longer trip. I highly recommend sailing with Captains Luis and Gaby!

July 3, 2025

We went on a 4-hour offshore fishing trip with my family (total of 4 of us). Despite rough seas, Captain Daryl handled the boat expertly and ensured we had some exciting moments. We managed to catch a nice Mahi-Mahi and had a thrilling encounter with a larger fish, though it got away. I highly recommend Captain Daryl; he's extremely skilled and knows how to find the fish. While 4 hours felt short for offshore fishing, we still had a fantastic time with plenty of action. Captain Daryl also suggested a great restaurant to cook our catch, and the meal was delicious!

July 3, 2025

This was the ultimate boat excursion! Captain Luis B and Gabriel were absolutely amazing, and my friends and I had an incredible time. We enjoyed sightseeing, taking turns steering the sailboat, and even swimming in the water, which was unforgettable. Sitting at the front of the sailboat was incredibly tranquil and breathtaking. The charcuterie and homemade sangria were also fantastic. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone—100/10!
