Our sailing excursion was simply AMAZING!!! My husband and I had an absolute blast enjoying the stunning views and being in awe of the beauty of San Juan. Jimbo was an excellent captain was full of information. He was happy to answer our questions and give us any information we asked about. He was an amazing guide and Captain! We had such an amazing experience that we have already booked him for a second time on our trip. Highly, highly, highly recommend!

This was an amazing tour. Jim was a super friendly and knowledgeable captain, and went out of his way for us to be able to swim. The boat is SO nice and we had the absolute best time!!!

We had an amazing time with Captain Jimbo! It was my birthday and he truly made me feel celebrated from start to finish. My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience — especially getting the chance to drive the boat, which was definitely a highlight. Everything was fun, smooth, and memorable. When I come back in the near future, I will absolutely be booking again. 10/10 — highly recommend!

It was easy to find and clean. Direction to the dock where easy to follow. Upon arriving we were greeted by Jimbo. We are given and safety briefing and a brief and informative lesson on sailing. The boat was clean and safe. We had an amazing experience.

Excellent experience and exactly what we were looking for. A relaxing sailing trip around the San Juan harbour with an experienced and knowledgeable Captain. We did this tour as a group of 6 including two younger children (ages 4 and 6) and they both had a blast! I would highly recommend this to anyone while in San Juan.

Well worth it! 2-3 hours was just the right amount of time. It rained briefly but was still very enjoyable. I'd definitely do it again!

Very friendly, very informative, top notch sail with husband and two daughters (ages 22 and 16). Captain Jimbo was professional and fun.

This was one of our favorite excursions well in San juan. Jimbo was amazing and gave us all sorts of information and even allowed our son and daughter to drive the sailboat for a bit. Highly recommend!

We had such a great time sailing today. We're on a cruise so it was so nice to break away from the crowds and have the sailboat to ourselves (family of 6). My husband loved getting to learn more about sailing and the rest of us loved the adventure. Our captain was so informative and relaxed and did a great job of explaining what to expect. Just a warning- you will likely get wet so bring extra clothes. So glad we did this!

We had a great time with our bachelorette party of four. Captain Jimbo was incredibly easy going! We brought champagne, dragged off the side of the boat, and he taught us how to sail. You can decide if you want to sit and relax, or take the wheel (literally)! You’re in good hands. Very cool experience, absolutely recommend.

Fabulous afternoon on the water with James and Nichole! They were awesome! Great, easy conversation, super hospitable, very flexible. Highly recommend!!

We had a nice day on the water with Jimbo. We loved the scenery and the accommodations on the sea. My daughter loved the exhilaration of dragging her feet my mother could have done without the tilt. It was an amazing way to see San Juan from the water and we learned some things about sailing.
Erika_D, Jul 2025
It was a great experience! Gorgeous ride, fun atmosphere, captain was laid back, informative, taught us some sailing and let us enjoy the ride. I would do it again!

Wonderful sailing with breathtaking views of San Juan - swimming with a large friendly barracuda was a once in a lifetime. James and Nichole, our skippers, were informative and great fun

This was an amazing experience! Captain Jimbo was a fantastic guide, he taught our family the basics of sailing and allowed my 16 year old son to steer the sail boat. Highly recommend this tour!!

Paul_S, May 2025
Awesome experience. Not only did we sail but we learned to sail and applied his teachings while in the bay!
Great communicator, fun and funny, thoroughly enjoyed and was worth EVERY PENNY!!!

We had the best afternoon with Captain Jimbo! He took us around the bay, found a spot for us to take a dip in the water outside of Old San Juan, and gave us a fun history lesson! He was conversational without being annoying, and made us feel safe, while also capturing photos and videos of us enjoying our girls trip. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing day on the water!
Jamie_S, Mar 2025
We had such a wonderful day and learned so much about local history and sailing from Captain Jimbo! He made our day truly special!
Victor_A, Feb 2025
We had a great time and learned the 3 steps of how to sail. The Captain was a great source of knowledge.
Anuja_A, Jan 2025
Loved the experience! Capt Jimbo is conversational, knowledgeable and fun! We got a chance to sail the boat as well. He made sure we felt safe. We would 100% recommend it for anyone who wants an intimate experience of sailing with a fun and knowledgeable captain.
