Wonderful experience on this sunset sailing trip. The captain was very personable and extremely knowledgeable about the history of Puerto Rico. Drinks were included and delicious. A relaxing and low key vibe. Just a really fun and amazing sailing experience. Would definitely do it again next time we are on the island.

Description
Sailing is authentic to San Juan culture- having a conversation with a local, the power of the wind, the peace from no engine noise, no crowds, no fake pirates, no crowds, no need to scream. We sail aboard a real racer cruiser (J30), with a toilet and a cabin- just real life sailing. You'll get to see a different perspective of old San Juan, with complimentary drinks, feeling safe but free, in parties up to 6 people. This is great for a special moment, or turning this moment into an special one. While in contact with nature, you may spot a dolphin. This is not a luxury yacht or a catamaran, so it's possible to really connect with the nature around you.

What an amazing excursion!!! Ivan was so pleasant and informative. Ivan was so kind! Will book again.
Best experience ever! Nice trip with a small group of people. Our captain ‘Ivan’ is very awesome, well knowledgeable about Puerto Rican history, good sailing, great vibes and just fun all around. Highly recommend to this amazing activity :)
He was so knowledgeable about the area. It was an amazing sunset sailing ride with a history lesson. We loved it.
Such a pleasant ride on the water at sunset. I truly enjoyed the information provided and captain. The sangria didn't hurt either. :-)
This is a low key sail around the bay with a local sailor. I really enjoyed it, but it is not a party cruise!
Capt. Ivan is a hoot and quite entertaining. He truly loves sailing and Puerto Rico. He lets you guide the sailboat which was fun. As a family, we enjoyed this but it’s a little more rustic than we expected. If you want a luxury sunset cruise, go on a catamaran. Having said that, it was a great small boat sailing experience. Seeing the mega yachts in the marina was unbelievable. The capt was more than willing to share restaurant recommendations and guided tour suggestions.
Wonderful experience with Captain Joe!! Fun tour on his sailboat in the harbor. Sadly, the clouds did not cooperate with the sunset plans, but that was not his fault. We shared laughs and stories and Captain Joe shared some interesting history. 100% recommend!!
Best time! My son was able.to steer the boat and we all had the best time! Definitely recommend!!! Must try
We had an amazing time on the trip. The staff was thoughtful and you can tell they were very experienced. The boat was clean and comfortable, perfect for a group of 4. We had an excellent time on the cruise, our guide Ivan was an expert sailor and also gave us plenty of explanations of what we were seeing along the way, as well as suggestions on authentic experiences within Puerto Rico! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a sailing experience around San Juan.
