About this experience
Authentic sailing is culture, having a conversation with a local, with the power of the wind, no engine noise, no crowds, no fake pirates, no stray cats, no crowds, no need to scream . . . we sail sideways, aboard a real racer-cruiser (J30), with a toilet and a cabin, just real life sailing. You'll get to see a different perspective of old San Juan, with complimentary drinks, feeling safe but free, in small groups (no crowds.) Good for any special moment, or turning this moment into an special one. While in contact with nature elements, sometimes you may get surprised by dolphins. There are 6 people maximum per sailboat. Sailboat model: Jboat J30 (racer-cruiser.) It's not luxury yacht or a catamaran. Let's sail with Sail San Juan Bay!
