FAQs

How long are sails?
Half day ~4 hours, full day ~7–8 hours, sunset ~2.5–3.5 hours.

Is snorkeling required?
No, you can stay on deck and enjoy the sail. Guides are in the water for anyone who jumps in.

What if the weather changes?
Your captain will adjust the route or reschedule if necessary; safety first, great photos second.

Can we fish and sail on the same trip?
It’s better to split experiences. Book a morning line-in session on Fishing Charters, then sail at sunset.
