    Our whole family loved this experience! We have two boys (9 and 12), and they are already asking to do it again. The ride was peaceful and relaxing, with absolutely amazing views the entire time. The staff was friendly and made everyone feel welcome. We were also pleasantly surprised by how fresh and delicious the food and drinks were. It was the perfect mix of relaxation and fun for our family. I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting the area, especially families with kids.

    Not worth the money

    Ruxandra_A, Mar 2026
    This ended up being largely a catamaran ride. The snorkeling was disappointing. There was not much coral and we only saw 2 fish. The lunch was poor quality food, but various drinks were available. Overall, simply not worth the money. We have done much more exciting catamaran trips, this one was subpar. My teenager kids described it as boring.

    Beautiful day on the water

    Gina_m, Mar 2026
    Panache sailing was incredible. The crew was friendly, professional and Jess was great in the water. Jess helped us see sting rays, star fish and octopuses! We enjoyed cocktails and a delicious lunch. My family enjoyed every minute on the water!

    Nice Tour

    Julia_H, Dec 2025
    Being on the water was amazing and the activities available were great. I would say that this is not the best tour for a solo traveler. I was put on a boat with one big family so felt very out of place. The staff were not very good at engaging.

    Response from Host, Dec 2025

    Good Times, Good Food, Good Drinks, Great Crew

    James_C, Oct 2025
    Get ready for a great time, beautiful scenery, make sure you bring sunglasses sunscreen towels as well as thirst and appetite. The captain and crew were awesome. We saw whales and were able to reel in a couple of fish, two big ones got away. Plenty of food and drinks, recommend the spicy margaritas

    The booking process was...

    Mark_M, Jun 2025
    The booking process was seamless. However the pick up locations either extra fees need to be more detailed. We selected Riu Palace as a pick up location then was told 2 day prior to excursion that it was an additional $180 for transportation. With a large group of 18 people, celebrating a birthday. Was a big inconvenience for guests.

    Shirley_P, Mar 2025
    We liked the ride although we could not sail very much that day because we were told there wasn’t enough wind. The staff was great and attentive!
