Incredible experience!! Captain Barbara is a pro, always in total control and so calm. Her boat SV Mobula (Hunter 23.5) is one of the nicest in that area; plenty of room in the cockpit to hang out. My boys rode up front on the bow watching for birds. Our whole family enjoyed Cenote Negro, the Pirates Canal, Bird Island, and swimming in Cenote Esmeralda. Believe me - Bacalove Sailing is the tour you want to book!!
What a wonderful experience we had with Barbara! She treated us as royals! The tour was very nice and comfortable, the lake is stunning. Since we are just starting to sail, she was even ok with us taking sailing under her supervision. Next to that she is very knowledgeable and has super eyes. From far away, she could already identify the birds flying around. We learned a lot about the nature around Bacalar, the Cenotes, the history, … it was soooo relaxing! Definitely recommend booking with her.
Very nice sailing trip. We were lucky with the wind and our female captain looked for nice, quiet places and could tell us a lot about the area. Recommended!
it was a great experience, ..,..,,, nice trip, .,,,…………………………………………….. small group, ……. ……. friendly staff……., ….☺️✌🏻
Had a great trip with Bacalove sailing. We were lucky that we booked a group tour, but we were the only ones on the trip. The boat was really nice and we’ve learned a lot about the Mayan history in Bacalar. Snacks and drinks were good. Enjoyed it!
We had a fantastic morning on the sailboat. Nice & friendly crew. Delicious fruit, drink! warmly recommended.
We got a very good cruise on the lake led by Chantal and Jimena. They knew how to tell a lot of interesting facts. The lunch with guacamole was very nice.
The sailboat trip with Captain Barbara was really great. We were a small group of 4 people, which made it very intimate. Barbara is a fun entertaining captain and guide. She knows a lot to tell and has a nice laidback energy around her. She made it as personal an experience as possible, by staying away from the crowds. She docked in the quieter spots, giving it a more intimate character. She spoiled us with drinks and delicious homemade guacamole with taco chips. It was a really great boat trip. We enjoyed it very much and would recommend Bacalove to anyone. Really a winner!
Barbara is really a cool chick, with great know how of sailing and the area: culture and nature! We had a nice sailing trip with a guacamole nacho lunch!-)
We had booked a group tour, but because the other party had cancelled due to illness we got a private tour and it was really great in one word! Barbara our sailor gave us the feeling of comfort happiness from start to finish. She knew how to tell us all about the lagoon, the history of the lake and the most beautiful special places to visit. We were super well taken care of with water, beer, cocktail and also homemade guacamole with tortilla chips. It's just delicious! Highly recommended, Bacalove Sailing⛵️
