Excellent hosts - At first I thought it was a long time for the activity and then I didn't want it to end anymore. Very nice sailboat, clean and comfortable. Delicious food and very friendly staff. Thanks to Captain Sergio, Fernando and Raciel.

Another great day with the luxury sail boat cruise - Another fantastic experience! .. this was the third time going…. The experience is great, food was so good, drinks plentiful and the best Margaritas ever! Saw tons of whales and dolphins which was also a bonus! Already planning on going again next year! Ruben and his crew were amazing! Definitely a class act. Thank you!

Amazing day! - This was a really great day. We expected a catamaran but it was actually a large sailboat. It had four bathrooms, was extremely clean and the staff was fabulous. They kept us fed and watered for the entire five hours, there were only 8 people on our tour which made it great. We saw a couple of whales far away, had a snorkel opportunity if you wanted to go and time to lie on a nice little beach. Would highly recommend this tour. All in all an amazing relaxing day on the water. Would book it again.

Just do it!! - It was amazing and the boat crew were top notch and made it an awesome experience. In fact we wished we could have done it twice. The snorkeling guide was awesome and we got to see lots of cool sea life. It was made to feel like a private experience with close friends. When they mean unlimited drinks it was unlimited with food coming at the right times, didn’t mean we weren’t toasted at the end but it’s all about limits. 😂 We 100% enjoyed the hospitality and happiness they all brought to the experience. The photographer was a bit annoying and wished we could have purchased just a few pictures. Maybe consider offering that in the future. 10/10 and worth the money!!

Too crowded - First off, the staff were excellent, friendly and efficient. The food was good- enjoyed lunch and snacks. The reason I give it a low rating is because the boat was much too crowded. It was very uncomfortable to be squeezed in with so many people. We felt like sardines in a can. For this reason I would not recommend the trip.
