Amazing afternoon with Benito and Louisa

Benito and Louisa made for a lovely afternoon. Their friendly and welcoming nature set the tone for a truly enjoyable experience. Louisa’s wealth of knowledge about the lagoon’s history and natural vegetation really enriched our sailing trip. The small sailboat allowed us to travel in a smaller group, creating a much more intimate atmosphere. I highly recommend booking this if you’re in the Bacalar area!

Magnificent lagoon with crystal clear waters

The place is easy to find, nice welcome, departure on time to discover the lagoon. Unfortunately the wind was not at the RV, small engine so short excursion! Really friendly captain and first mate with good knowledge of the area. We did not see and were entitled to everything that was described in the presentation sheet, for my part it was a small disappointment, fortunate that the lagoon was as magnificent as expected, a real visual joy!

Great Experience!

Sailing trip in the Bacalar lagoon, a “must”! This lagoon is certainly the most beautiful place in the Yucatan..., Louisa's very interesting explanations about the cenotes and the lagoon and the professionalism of Benito, the captain, made this outing a real success..., a young company which greatly deserves to be supported and which offers a high quality service to tourists.

Charly was our captain...

Charly was our captain and was great. He really knew how to handle a sailboat and was knowledgeable of the Bacalar Lagoon. It was a very good afternoon and even though the clouds came in we saw a brilliant sunset.
