About this experience

Relax on comfortable cushions while enjoying the ocean, the views and the sunshine and being pampered by our crew. We stop at a shallow sandbar area, to relax in the warm water with sandy bottom while you enjoy drinks from our open bar. Great for non-swimmers as well! Then a fresh ceviche is prepared for you onboard, and we sail into the sunset! We stop for pictures when the sun sets over the open water. A fresh ceviche is served to enjoy while you see the island turn into its nocturnal shape with the evening lights coming on, and hopefully also the first stars. Open bar with local rum, vodka, gin, soft drinks and juices is included. Try the specials, rum punch and "panty rippers"!
