Three carefully chosen vessels, each with a dedicated crew and its own personality.
Maple Leaf 48′
The Maple Leaf is our flagship sailboat and the most popular vessel in our fleet. At 48 feet she’s built for comfort, a large deck for sunbathing, a fully equipped galley, and room for up to 20 guests without feeling crowded. She sails with an exceptional crew: Captain Luis, a private chef, and a professional guide who knows every corner of Banderas Bay.
Perfect for: Large groups, celebrations, corporate charters
C&C 38′ Macarena
The Macarena is a classic C&C 38, beautifully rigged, well maintained, and perfect for smaller groups who want an authentic, intimate sailing experience. At 38 feet she’s nimble enough to reach secluded spots that larger boats simply can’t access. On board you’ll sail with Captain and Angel, whose local knowledge and genuine warmth are what guests remember most.
Perfect for: Couples, small groups, intimate experiences
Catalina 42′ Voyager
The Voyager is a Catalina 42, one of the most comfortable sailboats on Banderas Bay. Renowned for their wide beam and spacious interiors, Catalina sailboats are built for people who want extra space without sacrificing the sailing experience. Captain Alberto and his crew take pride in every detail, and it shows.
Perfect for: Families, groups wanting extra comfort, day sails
