We did the Couples Sail at Sunset (with Fine Dining) to celebrate our 25th anniversary. I want to give this review 1000 Stars because 5 is NOT enough! It was the MOST romantic sailing we could EVER imagine (if I did not have pictures, I would have thought it was just a dream). We have done numerous private charters on sailing yachts, but this one "takes the cake"! Captain Judith is a vivacious and beautiful person (as well as a VERY experienced captain), and exudes the heart and soul of Puerto Rico. The staff on board (Paula, Hector, and Chef Pedro) were WONDERFUL people and made us feel like royalty. I work in Quality Assurance, so tend to be VERY picky, but could find NOTHING I would change - it exceeded my extremely high expectations a thousand-fold. It is hard writing this without using all caps and superlatives, but I am still "giddy" when I remember our sail; I could not have asked for a more PERFECT celebration by a PERFECT sailing company.
Oh, let's not forget and the food (VERY FINE DINING)! Am a HUGE foodie, but was blown away at all the plates served (the escargot were bigger & better than I had in the Burgundy region of France). It was literally a foodie's dream - we were stuffed! Honestly, as much as we thought our prior meal on V-Day at 1919 (in Condado) was both delicious and romantic, this sailing made that meal look like McDonald's! But then combine the fine dining experience with the romantic ambiance, as well as the INCREDIBLE service provided by Hector (Lemonade Mojitos? Yes, PLEASE!), and you have what I can only call: MAGICAL! Even with the 4 crew members on board, we NEVER felt "crowded", they went below deck, or to the bow, so we actually felt we had the yacht all to ourselves! The love that Captain Judith exudes to her guests made my head spin - I felt I was sailing with very close friends who actually cared about me; had to give long hugs to everyone when we departed, and yes, I bawled several times during our tour due to how romantic it was.
If you are a couple going to Puerto Rico, and want THE romantic experience of your life, BOOK THIS TOUR! You may think it expensive at first, but after it was over, I would have paid 10x the amount for the memories & romance it created (as well as one of the most gourmet meals I have had in my life). Felt like so much stress in my life was lifted away, and for once, the world was just the two of us, holding hands at sunset, in the historic & magnificent San Juan Harbor. And the music Capt. Judith played was PERFECT: Enya's "Sail Away" at sunset was so dramatic and set the tone for the entire sail (will ALWAYS "flash back" to this sailing when I hear that song). I could go on and on, but I hope after reading this, you see what you are missing, and wish many more will have the chance to experience what we did; we feel SO LUCKY that Captain Judith opened her sailing yacht, and her heart, to us - and you will too!
Dear TJ_Frog;
We are so sorry we didn't answer this AMAZING review before. First let me say thank you for joining us on a tour and thank you for your extremely kind words. It really feels great when you read all the details someone remembers and takes the time to put them in writing.
You are making me feel emotional since sometimes we keep doing what we love to do, but we don't get to know how you perceive it on the other side. Please accept our huge THANK YOU!
I honestly don't know how we missed answering to you after so long. Please accept our apologies.
We hope you are doing great and we would love to share with you in the future. Hoping you are having all the blessings and a healthy, happy and prosperous life! Cheers!! And thank you again.
We booked our trip and were really excited to go sailing with a small group! Turns out we were the only two that signed up so we had the boat all to ourselves! It was fantastic! The weather cooperated and the captain Judith was incredible and very friendly!! The boat was clean and comfortable! She made our time spent on the boat relaxing and comforting. She even let us steer the boat and gave us a little history lesson about Puerto Rico. Drinks and strawberries were delicious! Thank you again Judith for making our stay on the island enjoyable!! It's people and moments like this one that is the reason I love to travel!

This experience was absolutely unforgettable. As many of the other reviews have stated, it is hard to describe how incredible the sunset sail really is. While on a cruise, we stopped in Puerto Rico from 3-10 pm. I decided to surprise my boyfriend with the Sunset Sail on January 23, 2017. Upon arrival, we were treated like friends and esteemed guests aboard Captain Judith's yacht. We were lucky to have the ship to ourselves that night, as well as an extra host, Maria.
What makes this experience extra special is the incredible knowledge, love, and respect Captain Judith has for her beautiful home, Puerto Rico. While my boyfriend got to take the helm and sail, Judith described to us the island and its rich beautiful history. We both love history and I love learning about other cultures so it was fascinating.
All the while, Judith and Maria set a beautiful romantic evening for us, with hors d'oeurves, and wine, and music. In fact, I created my own special itunes playlist for this night with my boyfriend, and Judith was kind enough to allow me to play my music and make the night even more memorable for the two of us.
I can't thank Judith and Maria enough. They made my special planned date absolutely unforgettable. My boyfriend got to sail, listen to history (which we both loved), and we were catered to all evening. Maria and Judith even took photos for us!!! These photos look professional, they are so good!
You simply cannot top this experience. The price is right, too. They could charge double and I would have still thought it was above and beyond worth it! A DREAM ON WATER!
Thank you Judith and Maria! You both are wonderful and I really cannot thank you enough for making our night perfect!!! I hope to see you again soon!

Captain Judith keeps her sails tight as she navigates the beautiful inner harbor of San Juan Puerto Rico. Her boat is strong and roomy, there are snacks and refreshing drinks along the way and you are invited to lounge on the deck or help out with the jib as the cruise moves through wind and water, with fabulous views of San Juan's coastline. We were treated to Captain Judith's loving tales of culture and history and we learned much about how Puerto Rico, through centuries of change, has stayed true to itself as an island of pride and love. Thank you Judith for your wit, wisdom and thoughtful narrations!

We care about history and social justice, so Captain Judith answered all our questions about Puerto Rico, while captaining her beautiful boat and mentoring her first mate around the bays and harbors on a beautiful morning.

Our sailing tour of San Juan Bay on 12/23/16 with Captain Judith and first mate Marie couldn't have been any better! Communication was wonderful, Capt. Judith gave us a great history of San Juan before we left and while on the boat, the food and drinks were excellent, and we really enjoyed their company! I can't say enough good things about this experience, it was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Puerto Rico!
