It lasted around 5 hours. They took us snorkeling(optional) after the island. Midway through the sandwiches were 10/10 maybe because of slight intoxication I guess we'll never know, but anyways overall experience was great and would recommend. You can see bigger boats but genuinely you don't get to see and talk to everyone it's a more personal connection on this boat.

I want to start off and say my rating is solely based on the handling of the situation and…read moreprofessionalism of management. On March 28, 2026, I booked this tour with my friend group. As boat rides were expected, it was a rocky ride to the island. The Captain instructed us to remain seated while the boat is in motion to avoid injuries. As instructed, I was seated during the entire boat ride. Above me was a large speaker and during the boat right the speaker fell landing on my head and shoulder. Due to this incident, I no longer was able to enjoy the experience or amenities the tour provided. I no longer drank alcohol because my head continue to hurt more with drinking and overtime my shoulder began to hurt more. This accident was not a life threatening situation, which is why I didn't request to be taken back to the mainland and go to the Hospital. Due to this situation, I didn't get off the boat or continue to drink the alcoholic beverages provided. I attempted to get a full refund of my personal ticket, however; was unsuccessful. I reported the incident to the Captain and an incident report was taken. The Captain instructed me to speak to the owner and provided her number. I spoke with her over the phone and explained the incident 2 days after, in which she stated she was aware. I kindly requested a refund due to it being negligent on their end for not properly placing and fastening such a large speaker over their clients heads. The woman was very defensive and stated that "if I felt that bad, I should've went to the Hospital and requested a ferry back to the mainland". I then explained to her, not all injuries require a hospital visit and if she's questioning the accident, to ask her crew and pictures that were taken on the boat prior to me getting off. The Captain took pictures and felt the lump on my head. I then told her that I just couldn't enjoy the experience so I no longer drank the alcoholic drinks and didn't get off the boat when we arrived at the island. She stated to me "just because you didn't get off the boat doesn't mean you were feeling bad, many people don't get off boat". I then tell her the fact of the matter is the accident happened, her crew witnessed it, there are visible injuries that will leave a scar, and thank God I didn't get a concussion, all I'm requesting for is a full refund of one ticket (mine) because it was very negligent from her company. She stated that she will give me a call back. It is April 9th, 2026, and I have yet to receive a call or email from this company. Honestly, if it wasn't for this accident, I would've definitely loved and enjoyed this tour. Unfortunately, I just personally had this experience and wanted to share how incidents will be handled if you decide to book with them.

A blast of a trip! Booked a charter to Culebra and had a great time. The check-in process was very…read moreeasy, as was parking. All the personnel was super friendly and caring - they made sure everyone was safe and enjoyed the ride. It took a little over an hour to get to the island, and when we arrived to Flamenco Beach, the conditions were not that great, so they took us to Culebrita instead, and it was gorgeous. We also did some snorkelling on the way, which was a lot of fun - lots of colourful fish and beautiful coral reefs. Just make sure to bring dramamine (if you need to) and reef safe sunscreen! (which is normally any mineral sunscreen that leaves white residue versus your typical spray bottle). We also had lunch on the boat, which was a buffet with a dozen of different options - everything was delicious, to be honest, and I honestly didn't expect anything beyond some basic sandwiches or wraps, but this was so much better. All in all, it was a great way to spend the day, and I would highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Puerto Rico!

I called all the other sunset sails in the area and of course they were all booked up for a beautiful Saturday night. But these guys couldn't fill their boat?

This has the opportunity to be a lot more. There were a few things that happened that really…read moreimpacted our experience with EGB. I wouldn't do it again. You still may have a great time. It is a fairly priced experience that includes good food, drinks, and is ultimately a great day not at the office. The positives are all over the reviews. My picture is from the charter even. Let's talk about what happened to detract from our experience. Captain Dan drank openly and had at least two Medalla cans of beers on the way back into port. This is unacceptable on a paid charter. Really big deal. I'm not sure what the laws are on this but my pilot, Cab driver, bus driver, doctor, and anyone else responsible for the well being of others can wait to drink after hours. Captain Dan started the charter with a quick argument with Charlie. He used the explicit and profane language quite loudly without apologies. The first stop was supposed to be 150 minutes but was only 70 minutes including the meal; so no beach time. The whole charter ended at 3:30 which was an hour short. The snorkel mask had a poor seal which allowed water into the mask. No legit snorkel vests also. The stops were really choppy. This was not snorkeling for a beginner. I can't imagine anyone doing these stops with no experience. There were strong currents near big rocks. The ladder on back was challenging with as much bobbing as the ship did on stop 2. I can imagine older folks having a really hard time. He can't control water but can pick stops accordingly. The commentary was really poor. We learned about the boat, his business plans, and his thoughts on politicians. Information on sailing, the ecology, the reef, or even the history of Puerto Rico wasn't there. I can't tell you the name of the islands, boats, currents, or anything like that. No sailing chart was shown. I can tell that Four Seasons and Disney are interested in investing in the West coast and some things about the US Treasury. The bathroom sink has not worked since at least a month. He made an announcement about it. I was able to glean this from a few TripAdvisor references. So food prep and guest hand washing happens in the same sink. Get the folks some hand sanitizer. They do a great job on prepping for motion sickness because it will be a ride against the currents with some choppy waters. I'm surprised I didn't get it. I had a good time because I was on vacation and on a boat with great weather. Charlie was great, too. The marina was amazing and there was even a shower facility. I wouldn't go back, though.

We got to the boat earlier than our…read morescheduled time (thanks to a driver they recommended), and they were kind enough to let our adventure start early. We stopped to admire a ship that is going to be used in the next Pirates of the Caribbean movie before heading out to the open water. Ingrid and Dan were more than accommodating. They even let a few who wanted to sail the boat take the helm. One was a born natural. We got to our main snorkel site where we were told we would have about 1.5 - 2 hours to enjoy the water before lunch would be ready. For those of us who had not snorkeled before, he took his time to explain how to put on the mask and how to use the snorkel. He made sure we were all outfitted with the appropriate size flippers as well. He made sure we all had swim buddies and told us what kind of sea life we'd see in the area. The lunch they provided was amazing and plentiful. (I LOVED the mango salsa). Drinks were plenty (water, soda, beer, and RUM PUNCH!) Ingrid also brought out some fruits and banana bread for snacks later in the day. We were given the option of what we'd like to do next, more sailing or more snorkeling. We ended up on a little sand island with even more clear water. The day just kept getting better and better. When we got back to the marina, Ingrid called our driver to pick us up, and provided us a key to the shower to get rinsed off. All 6 of us girls had a great time. I look forward to going back to Puerto Rico and taking on a new adventure. This is much more exciting and relaxing than one of those over priced catamaran tour boats.

Hubs & I had gone sailing several times both with friends and on excursions before and were prepared for the wind and the spray, and most of all, I was excited for the heeling (hubs less so... but he loves me -- this was more in my wheelhouse than his). I admit, based on previous paid experiences I somewhat expected to have the option of handling the ropes to help with adjusting the sails, of course with appropriate guidance. In this case, that was a hard no; we were not to touch anything, "for safety". We got some commentary on the history of the island and it's fortresses - nice, but in my specific case take it or leave it (because we'd already been to Castillo San Cristobal). I preferred El Capitan talking with us and the other couple about where we were staying and what foodie priorities to get to during our stay. And God put on a sunset show for us, and it was neat to see the other ships in the bay -- from cargo ferries to private yachts to sailboats from all over to a pair of cruise ships in Port. Now I said I'd talk on our communication snafu with the owner -- with our booking there were pretty specific instructions on where to park and where to go. Which we endeavored to follow when we arrived, early, bearing in mind the "if you're late we leave without you, no refunds" cautionary language. We messaged that we were there, that we knew we were early, and where we were, by the gatehouse as instructed. Guard brought us in to where they said we would be met by the team from Sail San Juan Bay, and by then we had a conflicting location message. As we tried to follow orders, we received another message sending us back towards where we had been. I was put off by it, and all the more in contrast to another excursion I did the next day with incredibly clear info and texts to the entire group including the person actually taking point on the group, even though the meeting point was similarly at a public unmanned location. So yeah, 100% go on the sailboat, and enjoy the time on the bay... but follow initial instructions and if you can avoid contact with the owner, do so.

We had quite a few victims of seasickness onboard, and the crew handled it all with patience, humor, and compassion, making sure everyone was comfortable and taken care of. Once you get past the ride out there, it is nothing but smooth sailing, beautiful scenery, great music, and a really fun atmosphere. The drinks kept flowing throughout the day, and the lunch, while simple, was surprisingly delicious and exactly what we needed after spending time swimming and enjoying the water. Overall, this was an unforgettable experience and a fantastic way to enjoy Culebra. The scenery is incredible, but the crew is what really made the trip special. Highly recommended!

Instead of Culebra we settled on the uninhabited beach of Caya Luis Pena before Culebra with crystal clear waters in about 20 minutes. The waters were translucent clear turquoise and beach sand was pristine. Water temp was around 79-80F. Weather was overcast and comfortably cool. They laid out a simple light sandwich buffet for lunch with beers and tropical cocktails. Snorkeling, swimming and relaxing for a few hours, we spotted small schools of fish and a very cool bachelor Stingray circling looking for scraps. Crew was incredibly friendly and helpful and everyone enjoyed the short beach visit. The return trip was much smoother and after jumping back on the bus we were able to stop by a bbq joint for coconuts and fried stuffed empanadas.
