Fun in the sun - Excellent service, friendly and very attentive staff. Kids liked the boat, but wish they used the main sail. Beach was nice, water crystal clear. Snorkeling was fun, saw a lot of fish, urchins, anemones. Lunch was tasty (grilled fish).

Very unique and beautiful experience, one exception . . . - First - Luis’ sailing team is amazing and do a wonderful job to ensure the journey is enjoyable from start to finish. Our English speaking guide, Herman, is very kind and extremely helpful. The only exception had nothing to do with Luis and his team: once you arrive at Bahía Concha there will be some vendors selling items on the beach - food, beverages, etc. Strongly suggest - do NOT buy anything. You’re better off bringing your own extra snacks and beverages if you like to snack throughout the day (I think only water may be allowed on the ship). Or, if you decide to buy any food items, ask to see the price in WRITING FIRST and make sure you understand who you are paying and for which food items. Also, credit cards are not accepted (regardless of what the vendors tell you).

Worth every penny! - Absolutely incredible time! We went not knowing exactly what to expect, and it’s safe to say we had a spectacular day! The guides were very kind and knowledgeable. We both got the grilled fish and it was amazing (I usually hate anything fish related but it was so good!) When you think about it, they could be charging more than what they are! Lunch, a beautiful boat ride, unlimited drinks and snacks, snorkeling tour, a very unpopulated beach with incredibly clear water and spectacular views, insurance, and peace of mind for all your personal belongings while you’re swimming! Keep in mind, though, that there are vendors at the beach! We got 2 beach chairs for 10,000 each (highly recommended), but other than that, we just ate and drank what the tour was already providing! We highly recommend it!

Sail to Tayrona and back. Enjoy the beach in between. - Fantastic crew and experience. The trip is nice and the food is good. We had a little trouble with lunch delivery but nothing that hurt the good times.

Sailing to Tyrona with Luis & Crew - Family Travel from SC (USA) - We had a great time on our trip! The crew was super attentive and all the details are exactly how it was advertised. I traveled with my family, which included a 6 year old. We always felt safe. Tayrona was beautiful and we even got to kayak and snorkel. Our lunch was yummy. Chairs at the beach were available for an extra cost, so bring cash. What a great experience and such a professional and caring crew! We loved it and would do it over and over again! Great job guys!

Amazing time sailing! - We loved our time with Santa Marta Sailboat / Velero Santa Marta! The sailboat was fabulous and took us to Tayrona smoothly, with the friendliest crew. We loved the kayak and snorkelling. The lunch, drinks and snacks were great too! Highly recommend.

Great crew - The crew was fantastic. Friendly, professional, and attentive, making everyone feel welcome and relaxed. The food onboard was fresh and delicious—definitely a highlight! There were a couple of small hiccups: the paddle board mentioned in the ad wasn’t available, and the snorkeling instructions were a bit unclear. We didn’t realize we could use the life vests, so we ended up missing out on that part of the adventure. Still, the overall experience was wonderful, and with just a bit more clarity on the activities, it would have been perfect. Would definitely recommend!
