Overview

Check-in at Pelican Pier, between the Holiday Inn and Playa Linda Beach Resort on J.E. Irausquin Blvd in Noord, is at 8:30 in the morning. The boat leaves shortly after check-in and the whole trip runs about 4 hours, returning to the same pier. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included, so travellers make their own way there.

The sail itself is a large catamaran trip with three snorkel stops. Equipment is provided, and reviewers say the crew gives clear instructions and keeps things lively and fun throughout the morning.

Food and drink run all morning. The listing includes breakfast and lunch with mimosas plus an open bar throughout, and reviewers repeatedly describe the drinks as plentiful. What almost nobody disputes is the crew, who reviewers call friendly, funny and attentive. With up to 60 travellers on board, this is a lively group outing rather than a quiet sail, suited to couples, families and mixed-age crowds who want a social morning on the water.
