Breathtaking - Our family had the best time sailing with Captain Jimbo!! I would definitely recommend the sunset cruise. It was so cool to see the fort and city lights at night. Jimbo even taught my husband how to sail the boat. We would definitely sail again with Captain Jimbo!

Thanks Captain Jimbo!! - Awesome experience with Captain Jimbo! He explained the safety features of the boat well and provided ice and sodas for the drinks we brought. We were able to sail in the open ocean and were out for about 3 hours. Jimbo explained the history of Old San Juan and allowed us to help with the boat as much as we requested. Definitely would recommend for a group of 6 couples or families/friends!!

Fun sailboat half day cruise - Great day trip especially for those like us who’ve never been sailing. Captain is a fun informative guy and it was a very pleasant sail around the bay. We got brave and had him take a spin out in the ocean where we heeled pretty good.

WOW!!! - 🌟⛵️🌊
This was definitely the highlight of our trip. We had actually tried to do a different sailing excursion where you are on with other people and were unable to book that. And I’m SO GLAD!!! My husband and I had the boat to ourselves and Captain Jimbo taught us so much. He actually let us sail most of the time and it was AMAZING!!! He did a great job when we first boarded the boat of making us feel safe and letting us know what to expect. We are boaters but have never sailed or been on a sailboat, so we were absolutely thrilled to just to go sailing, let alone learn so much and be at the helm. If we are fortunate enough to make it back to PR, this will definitely be on our to do list.

A Beutiful Day Sailing Off the Coast of San Juan - My best friend and I booked the afternoon cruise - we both grew up sailing with my dad and were hoping to be able to get in a lesson. Jimbo was up for the challenge of reacquainting a couple of rusty sailors with is amazingly skilled sailor and great teacher. He had us steering the boat, hoisting the sails, tacking and trimming in no time at all!
Captain Jimbo was great at explaining the concepts - I would 100% recommend taking a cruise with him if you're remotely interested in sailing.
Even if you're just wanting to take a sailboat cruise, Jimbo is your guy - he is a great host and a knowledgeable tour guide. He told us a lot about the sites and history of San Juan as we made our way out of Bahia de San Juan.
I would sail with Jimbo again - a trip with him is on the list for my next trip to Puerto Rico!
