Authentic experience for my family of 5!

Max_P, Mar 2025
This experience was fantastic. It was such a unique and authentic way to explore the south coast of beautiful Puerto Rico. The captains were knowledgeable about the area and provided so much wonderful insight to the sailing culture and history of sailing in Puerto Rico. The ride was beautiful and provided picturesque views of the mountains. Our destination provided snorkeling views of stingrays and tons of other sea life. The paddle boards were an absolute blast. If you are looking to experience the culture of this wonderful island with your family book this trip now!

I can not say enough how amazing this boat ride was! Everything from start to finish was breathtaking! The captains did amazing to make sure we understood everything and let us pick what we wanted to see. I will do this tour again when I come down! 10/10!

Response from Host, May 2024

Ms. Juanita, we are very thankful for your beautiful comments, Capt. Luis and Gustavo really enjoyed your group Capt Pedro.

Captains Gustavo and Giovanni are the best at what they do! Very kind and gracious to my elderly parents and daughter

marjorie_g, Mar 2024
Our captains are Gustavo and Giovanni. They were gracious, helpful and fun to be around. They basically let you decide where you wanna go, what you wanna do and catered to my disabled father. The place was so beautiful and we’ve seen pelicans diving to hunt for fish, iguanas and sea urchins. The water was calm enough, warm, clean and clear for us to swim in. They told us stories about the island and gave us tips where to explore. Gustavo helped my parents and daughter go in and out of the boat. My parents was so happy with this experience and so was my daughter and I. We will come back to PR and will do this again. Thank you Gustavo and Giovanni!! You are the best!!!

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Ms. Marjorie Giovani and Gustavo were very pleased to see your enjoyment of the experience, thanks and looking to have your family aboard in your next visit. Thanks Very much

Low-key, affordable and enjoyable charter sailing

Nicole_L, Mar 2023
This was our second sailing trip with Capt Luis. He and his first mate, Rey, were so relaxed. We had excellent weather with plenty of wind for sailing. Once we dropped anchor and motored over to peaceful and private Caye Caribe, we spent most of our time stand-up paddle boarding and snorkeling. For those who love to sail, the return trip is where it’s at.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Nicole ,Jason I myself have not had the please to meet you and jason , but Luis and this time Ray , tells me tou are wonderfull peeolple to have a beautiful time. Hope to see you next tome aroud, it was our pleasure' capt pedro

Kandace_M, Mar 2023
The team and Capitán were amazing! A very relaxed adventure on a beautiful sailboat. Our guide was knowledgeable of the area and allowed us to choose from different options on how to spend our time in the sea. We loved being able to bring some food and make our lunch while out on the water. Would 100% do this again!

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Kandance Sure, was a pleasure for Capt Luis and crew to have your group aboard, for a second time, love you enjoyed a cooking experience, welcome always, we love to see you having fun. Capt. Luis send me beautiful photos Capt. Pedro

Perfect for a relaxed day trip

ChantalKuhn, Jan 2023
Relaxed day out sailing to an Island with mangrove forest. We saw many pelicans, a manatee and the usual iguanas. Not the best spot for snorkeling but the trip was great and the captain and his first mate were absolutely fantastic - told us a lot of interesting stories about Puerto Rico, sailing, wildlife...

WE loved you enjoy our charter ,looking forward to have you again Thanks i behalf of capt Luis

Loretta_B, Dec 2022
A peaceful experience on the colorful water enjoying the beautiful weather. Captain Pedro is very nice and patient and refers to everyone by name. Gamma is very personable and has a great smile. He really wanted to you to enjoy the experience and made sure we were safe. The entire day was very relaxinge and the view is spectacular.

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Lorreta, Mike, It was a pleasure to have your family with us aboard, our satisfaction was your relaxing and enjoyment. Would like to see the paddle boarding photos when you were with gamma Thanks, and enjoy your stay Cpat pedro

Very very beautiful

Kendra_B, Aug 2022
My friends an I loved the experience soo much, both Capt Luis and Fidel are so hospitable. They made the sail interesting and fun, made sure all of us enjoyed the water. I got into water for my first I have been so scared of water. I do recommend for a group of friends as well. If I visit here again I will definitely use their services. Captain Pedro communicated with us through out before and after the trip. I had a lovely time and tried new things. Thanks

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Ms kendra Capt Luis , Fidel and myself really appreciate your expressions of enjoyment and your description of your experience Thanks in behalf of our group.

Just okay…

Beverly_F, Jul 2022
The captain and mate were very polite. The mate told us some interesting things about sailing and about the island. However, the place where we were taken to snorkel had absolutely nothing to see. No fish and no plant life other than old grass that was silted over. The visibility was somewhat cloudy. When I mentioned that we had not seen any fish, the mate told us that we should have looked in the mangroves. We did have two iguanas visit us for lunch. On the return, we were able to sail with one sail. We were told that the mainsail was unnecessary for the situation. I was a little disappointed because we saw two other boats using their mainsail. All in all it was an okay trip, but not worth $650 plus tip and an hour drive from San Juan.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Ms Beverly We appreciate your comments , will look forward to correct the details you mention, sorry it did not meet your expectations Thanks very much Capt Pedro

Best Day Ever!

Response from Host, Apr 2022

Ms Heidi Luis and Fidel would love to have your group again , they really enjoy having your group aboard.

Great sail, great day!

Kevin_H, Mar 2022
The captain and first mate were very friendly, informative and great sailors. They pointed out sites of historical interest and native flora and wildlife. The snorkeling was good and the sailing great. Do take a waterproof bag for a camera/phone as you're at the site for quite a while and there is interesting plants and lots of iguanas that are quite friendly.

Response from Host, Mar 2022

Mr. Hansen Capt Luis and Fidel, had a great time with your group, we really appreciate your feedback , on the alternative of how to spend the tour time , we will look forward to see you next year and follow your feedback and we will present the alternatives to future visitors Thanks for being with us, Capt Pedro

A lovely day at sea.

Bruce_W, Feb 2022
My wife and I traveled with two captains. The boat was very comfortable and we enjoyed learning about the waters and surrounding area. The dingy motor would not start so we snorkeled from the anchored vessel around the island. Some spots we too shallow but we made it without issue. Unfortunately, we didn’t see many fish. Our day was relaxing and we would do it again. It was nice being on the water and liked engaging with our captains.

Response from Host, Feb 2022

Mr. Warshauer Thanks for your comments, the dinghy motor issue , was really sad, we will take steps to avoid it happens again. Capt Luis and Capt Fidel did enjoy seeing your relaxation and enjoyment. Will look forward to have you again Thanks Capt Pedro

Excellent time. The highlight of the trip.

Christopher_E, Jan 2022
We planned it last minutes and it was by far the highlight of the trip. Crew were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We asked for an isolated location for snorkeling and they delivered. The whole family had a great time, weather was perfect and we would absolutely do it again.

Response from Host, Jan 2022

Christopher Capt Luis and Fidel did enjoy seeing you and family having fun ,always welcome again. Capt Pedro

Amazing day—100% worth the drive from San Juan

Doris_F, Jan 2022
This was an incredible experience! Captain Luis and Fidel made me, my husband, and my three daughters (ages 22, 20 and 15) feel right at home. We sailed to a small quay we had all to ourselves, complete with a walking path, friendly iguanas and the paddle board and snorkeling equipment they brought for us. My oldest daughter said it was the best thing she’s ever done on any vacation and I have to agree.

Response from Host, Jan 2022

Ms. Doris It was to us a big satisfaction, Capt Luis and Fidel to see you and family enjoying the outing looking forward t see you and family again

Excellent hosts and tour in a less well known area of PR

Robin_F, Jan 2022
Great tour with Capt. Pedro and his team, appreciate them for hosting us on their boat. Guayama's Jobos bay is in the south of PR and a very interesting place. We learned about and toured the area and disembarked at a Cayo. Pedro and his team are locals and are very familiar with the area. It's an area of PR less visited by tourists so we felt we got to tour something off the beaten path. We sailed with Luis and Fidel who were great folks and I enjoyed learning about the area from them.

Response from Host, Jan 2022

Robin It was a pleasure for Capt Luis and Fidel to have you aboard and family and to talk the area history and to see you enjoy the beauty and tranquility of the area .We thank you for your feedback., Capt Pedro

Beautiful views.

Crystal_P, Aug 2021
Pedro was awesome. We were his first first English speaking visitors and I think he enjoyed us as much as we did him! He was kind and had awesome hospitality. The ride was so calming and tranquil. Everything we expected! It was awesome! Thank you again!!

Response from Host, Sep 2021

Thanks Crystal ,as you said , I enjoyed as much as you girls did, my pleasure to have your group aboard. Seee you next time around, hopped you enjoyed La Placiita

Honestamente aparte de...

Mario_C, Jun 2024
Honestamente aparte de Luis y Gustavo quienes nos acompañaron y fue lo único real que nos habían descrito en el tour, quienes fueron muy amables de resto nada es real el bote en muy muy mal estado descuidado corroído y bastante viejo, los destinos que nos dijo Pedro que nos iban a llevar nada fue así , fue una muy mala experiencia para celebrar el cumpleaños de mi esposa , no nos gustó ni a mi ni a mi familia ni amigos dos niños de 11 y 16 años la experiencia, la verdad sentimos que pagamos por algo distinto y ya no había nada que hacer , sentimos que fue un dinero perdido lastima por qué no mi esposa ni yo ni mis amigos nos llevamos un buen día , demasiado deteriorado y descuidado el barco y los sitios que nos dijeron iban a visitar no se cumplieron , muy viejo el barco y olía demasiado feo y descuidado la verdad mala experiencia

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Sr. Mario Cardona , favor excusar la demora en contestar , pero tenia que consultar con el Capitan Luis y su tripulante Gustavo sus comentarios y me explico: 1. su expectativa se entiende era de que iba a ser una embarcacion de lujo , lo que implicaría un costo mucho mayor por la actividad ,cuando la situación es que es una embarcación clásico de unos años ,pero esta mantenida en el mejor estado posible de acuerdo al las inclemencias del salitre y agua salada , además esta anualmente inspeccionada por la Guardia Costanera de lo Estados Unidos, quienes la cualifican como una embarcación segura en un estado correcto para este uso . Acaba de ser inspeccionada y paso la inspección como ha sido en el pasado. 2. La área donde se anclo y Uds. disfrutaron el día nadando utilizando las tablas de remos y otras facilidades , esto por comentario del Capitán Luis y Gustavo , se poda ver y percibir que disfrutaban el momento era el área que siempre es el destino de la navegación. Ud. le comento a Gustavo que en la aplicación de Viator había una foto con varios puntos de anclaje, corrijo esto ,ya que es un interpretación incorrecta de su parte ya que la imagen o foto es de la aplicación "Naviónics" de Cartas Marinas y lo que Ud., identifico como puntos de anclaje , es una ruta con los "Puntos de referencia para establecer una ruta" llamados " Waypoints". Que Ud pensó eran puntos de detenerse (anclajes) Aclaro que a Ud y sus amigos y familia se llevó al anclaje ya establecido, que siempre que ha sido predilecto por la privacidad, aguas tranquilas y fauna del lugar por todos los visitantes en el pasado.(que es parte de la Reserva nacional de Bahía de Jobos) Me gustaría aclara que todas las fotos en la aplicación de Viator-Bakun son reales y tomadas solo con la intención de informar y compartir ,no de engañar a nuestros visitantes 3. el mal olor que Ud. identifica, es simple el olor de una embarcación expuesta al ambiente marino y está cerrada gran parte del tiempo, inclusive se aplica un líquido para olor y limpieza en la "cisterna" (parte más baja del interior del bote que siempre acumula poca agua, usual del hielo en la nevera) al igual que en el interior de mantiene productos para absorber la humedad y los olores que esta produce. Le aseguro que la embarcación no está descuidada, ya que es mi 2do hogar los fines de semana de viernes a domingo, y créame que la disfruto de gran manera. lamentamos mucho sus expresiones y más que no disfruto la estadía, aunque esa no fue el sentir de Capt. Luis y Gustavo, Entendemos y comprendemos que Ud. no ha estado expuesto a este ambiente ,por lo cual le disculpamos sus expresiones Capt. Luis y Gustavo siempre han sido elogiados por su trato y ambientar a nuestros visitantes Gracias por su visita.
