Sandy Bottoms Sailing is first rate!
Edward_L, Aug 2023
Our sailing trip was supposed to be the second day of our vacation, but unfortunately a member of our group fell ill and spent the night before in a local hospital. Katie at Sandy Bottoms Sailing could not have been more accommodating in getting our trip rescheduled and even offered us a refund despite it being the day of the trip when I gave them notice. That alone would be worth five stars, but the day on the boat itself was fantastic, as well. Captain Arturo and Chrissy were excellent hosts. I wouldn’t hesitate to book another trip with Sandy Bottoms!
Perfect personalized adventure
Michael_G, Jul 2023
An incredibly customized and personalized adventure. Traveling with teenagers through a 6 year old, the captain and crew made sure everyone was comfortable and had what they needed... even going beyond expectations to support our family.
The food was absolutely amazing and they had a variety to meet everyone's taste. The boat was very well stocked with lots of great food, water, and drinks (for kids and adults).
The boat is in great shape and you can tell there is pride in cleanliness and being prepared.
We were never rushed and had plenty of time to snorkel, jump off the boat, and relax. We had family fun at our pace, which made this absolutely worth it.
The company sends out all the instructions you need and was great with communication, so that there was no question about how to get to the boat, what to pack, etc. I had a very clear understanding of what to expect which made things a lot easier on the parents.
Simply Amazing

Such an amazing trip with Captain Arturo and first mate Christy! My family and I enjoyed every minute of this once-in-a-lifetime excursion, especially hanging with the manatee off of Los Lobos island. Thank you both so much for taking such great care of us!

Such a great day from beginning to end. Arturo the Captain and Hiram were so accommodating. We felt pampered all day and never had to ask for anything. Sailing was so amazing and the boat was well equipped and very clean. The fact that it was private to our group and we could choose how much or how little we wanted to do. JUST AMAZING!
definitely coming back

If you are looking for a great excursion full of relaxing time, snorkeling, serene sailing, snacks and drinks this is your place. Captain Arturo and Christie were top notch and the perfect hosts. A special thanks to Kate, who handled all the reservation and information so easily. Our youngest daughter was full of smiles the entire trip and enjoyed the delicious homemade birthday cupcakes! A wonderful surprise. Thank you to the entire team.
Amazing day in PR!
Michelle_S, Feb 2022
Captain Arturo and Christie were amazing! We worked with Katy to finalize booking and prepare for our sailing adventure and she was phenomenal, from booking and confirming our transportation, to answering a lot of questions. Definitely try Christie's "painkiller" cocktail, it's delicious!! And Arturo was a welcoming host, very laid back and fun! The boat ride itself was really relaxing and fun, anchoring at the private island felt luxurious and so laid back!! We will definitely book again!!
No stress great sail and snorkel day
Thomas_G, Feb 2022
Professional, efficient, safe clean. This day went far better than expectations!! I highly recommend this for a low stress sailing day. Make sure to have a painkiller or 3!!
Best day in Puerto Rico!!!
Carrie_G, Jan 2022
We had the best time! Arturo and Christi were so welcoming, knowledgeable, fun and made sure we were safe the whole time. The boat was well equipped with everything we needed. The food was perfect. Snorkeling and floating in the ocean were both fun but I felt that the very best part was sailing!!! This was by far the best day we spent in Puerto Rico! Thank you guys for sharing this day with us!!!

Fantastic sail on the Abillo with Captain Arturo!
Juan_R, Oct 2021
This was such a fantastic sail on the Abillo. Captain Arturo and Stewardess Kayla went above and beyond our expectations! From service, to safety, to simply enjoying the serene sail on the water, we couldn't ask for more. Looking forward to booking with them again during our next visit to PR.
Full Day Private Sail.

This private sailing excursion was fun and relaxing. We sailed to Wolf Island to snorkel and float, which was very enjoyable.
Capitan Arturo was very friendly snd catered to all of our needs.
I would highly recommend this excursion!

Best tour/experience HANDS DOWN!
Asenath_R, Jul 2021
Arturo & Kristie were amazing! I can’t wait to return to Puerto Rico for this reason alone! From the moment we arrived we received the best hospitality. We were served local pastries and delicious coffee to begin our morning. We then went out to a private island where we enjoyed paddle boarding, lounging in water chairs, piña colada’s, and delicious snacks including fresh mangos from Arturos home !! This is a must when visiting PR.. I cannot say enough amazing things about this experience. Thank you guys!
Wonderful time!

Grace_P, Mar 2021
This experience was absolutely amazing!! Arturo and Kayla made out boat experience so special. We went to Palomino Island where we swam, paddle boarded and lounged in the beach and in the floats. They served an incredible charcuterie board midday and were so incredibly kind and outgoing while also very professional. They took care of us so well and gave great restaurant recommendations! We all felt like friends by the end of the day. I cannot recommend this experience enough! Absolutely incredible. Thank you Arturo, Katie and Kayla!!!
