Experience Details

Becoming able to sail a sailboat only with the wind is a skill that will give you the sense of Freedom that only the ocean can give. You'll realize that you will be able to get to some of the most beautiful places on the planet with your new skills.


Having whale sightings (Dec - April), dolphins and turtles are always an exceptional surprise. Your vision and understanding of the sea changes completely. Being able to change course and adjust sails to quickly steer to flocks of birds that tell you the precise location of schools of fish makes you realize that you are able to adapt to the environment.


The experience of eating a Ceviche with the fish you just caught is incredibly rewarding.


Living this sailing experience will change your perception of the way you usually enjoy your trips to the beach with your family or friends.

What You’ll Experience

Learn to Sail a Hobie Cat Sailboat and Catch (Fishing) Your Lunch. Your sailing adventure starts by learning how to interpret the direction of the wind to plan the best sailing route. During the tour, our instructor will teach you how to sail with the wind, your will get to know the components of the sailboat, how to position it with respect to the wind, the sailing points and basic maneuvers. At the end of the explanation, you will start practicing by sailing the Hobie-Cat yourself. It is common during the expedition to have encounters with dolphins and olive ridley turtles on the journey. During whale season is also common to have encounters (Dec-April). As part of the sailing experience, we will set a couple of fishing lines during the tour. Spotting schools of fish is very possible thanks to the flocks of seagulls that fly over them. At the end of the trip you decide if you want us to prepare a Ceviche or Sashimi with what we have caught. It couldn't be fresher. At the end of the journey you will have acquired basic skills of sailing that will remain with you for a lifetime. Prior to the sailing day we will send you tutorial videos about the experience.
