Types of sailing tour
Snorkel sails
A daytime catamaran sail with a stop at Santa Maria or Chileno Bay for snorkeling. The most popular format — scenery, swimming and a drink in one trip.
Sunset sailings
A calm, romantic golden-hour cruise. Quieter than the party boats and a lovely alternative to a motor sunset cruise.
Private sailing charters
Book the whole catamaran for your group. See private charters for capacity and pricing.
Tips for a smooth sail
- Mornings are usually calmer; afternoons can be breezier — good for sailing, choppier for sensitive stomachs.
- Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a hat and a light layer for the wind.
- Choose a tour with a snorkel stop if you want to swim — not all sails include one.
- Sunset sails sell out in high season — book ahead.
- Confirm whether food and open bar are included or extra.
Comfort tip: If anyone in your group gets seasick, a sailing catamaran is steadier than a small motorboat — and morning departures tend to have the calmest water.
