Wonderful Experience

I bought this trip as a birthday gift and it was a wonderful experience. Our guide was amazing, he was very educated and taught us so much during the sailing trip. We cruised around the harbor then went out to the ocean to sail. We had perfect weather. They provided beverages and snacks and also allowed you to bring your own food and drinks. I would highly recommend this trip!
