Very good boat ride. Very easy communication, very pleasant and friendly, attentive navigation professionals. With our 7 and 8-year-old children it was perfect!
Ce fut un plaisir de vous accueillir ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié la sortie en voilier. Au nom de toute l'équipe, merci beaucoup pour votre visite !
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!

Bonjour ! Merci beaucoup pour vos commentaires ! Ce fut un plaisir de vous aider !
We really enjoyed learning about the lagoon and it's natural, unique features. There was lots of sailing and two opportunities to swim.
Thank you very much for your comments! It was a pleasure serving you!
Thank you so much ! It was really fun to do. I highly recommend. Thanks again to the captain and his excellent navigation! 😊
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!
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 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.
Great experience with wonderful captain of the boat- lots of history and fun facts about the lake. Perfect 3 hours of fun, views and music…we would come back again! Thanks much for the memories, Capt Benito…💪🇲🇽🙌
The tour was more than wonderful, knowing each area of Bacalar and together with the company of Captain Benito, time in areas, very delicious snacks and drinks, attention and trip of 100, thank you very much for everything and without a doubt it is recommended to go on a sailboat with He is very worth it.
