What you'll see
If you have never sailed before, this is your opportunity to learn! Before departing from Marina Vallarta, you'll have the opportunity to receive a short briefing on the basics of sailing. The rest of the day can be as interactive as you choose. Adventure seekers will swim and snorkel in Banderas Bay, and if weather permits, you'll stop at a beautiful beach where you can enjoy swimming and snorkeling in the protected waters of a secluded cove.
For the less energetic, this is a day to just lie back on one of the many cushioned mattresses. There is simply no better way to take in the tropical surrounds, than by sipping on an ice-cold beverage while enjoying the natural sounds of the sea punctuated by the song of the wind.
Without a doubt, sailing is the ultimate way to catch a glimpse of wild dolphins, humpback whales, manta rays and turtles. Wild dolphins love nothing more than to swim alongside a silently gliding sailboat and you'll delight in their antics as they play in your wake.
This day combines pure, unadulterated sailing pleasure with absolute pampering. Your friendly crew scrupulously attend to the smallest details to ensure that your sailing experience is the adventure of a lifetime. Lunch, snacks and all beverages are included!
