Here Pegasus - our newly restored, stylish and comfortable 52ft French Sailing Yacht - will be ready and waiting for you. On boarding Pegasus you’ll be offered a welcome drink before our crew take you through a short orientation; we’ll tell you important safety information, show you the boats amenities, explain the spots we will visit and what to expect throughout the day.
Las Catalinas
As we set sail out of Flamingo we’ll pass beautiful Playa Penca and Penaguaste Island as we head towards Las Catalinas and Honeymoon beach. Here the ocean is rich in colourful and diverse wildlife. It’s often possible to see jumping dolphins, friendly sea turtles, gliding manta rays and breaching whales - keep your eyes peeled! We will select the optimal spot to drop the anchor, based on the days weather and visibility conditions. Here the group can enjoy jumping into the warm glistening waters whilst the crew prepare your lunch. We have a variety of activities to enjoy, including snorkling, stand up paddle boarding and fishing.

5.00We booked this expedition on New Year’s Day with my family and a couple of family friends. It was a perfect trip, and everyone on board had a blast. The views were great, food was delicious, drinks were refreshing, and Rodrigo, Joseph, and Simone were the best. We felt safe and well looked after while aboard. We got to snorkel and swim, lay out on a floating pad, walk along the beach, and enjoy good music and company. I 100% recommend booking this boat tour. You will not regret it!! The trip was most certainly the best part of our trip, and I will always remember it!!!
JUST BOOK IT!

5.00Amazing experience and kid friendly. We had an absolute blast with Rodrigo and crew. They took amazing care of us from first encounter to dropping us off. We always had a drink in hand and they prepared a wide variety of fresh fruit, snacks and tacos throughout the experience. The boat is great and the scenery is absolutely incredible. And it provided all the equipment we could need to have fun once we stopped including snorkels and a big float to hang out on. Would highly recommend this to anyone. Overall a great value.
Great Day on the water!!!

5.00We had a wonderful day! We were a group of 10, 5 couples. Rodrigo and his two mates were so nice and attentive. The food was delicious and they kept us hydrated! We stopped to snorkel in a nice bay. As we were headed back, we slowed down to watch the sunset. Beautiful memories!
Great local crew and captain

5.00The crew and captain were locals who were super friendly. Everything was as advertised and they knew exactly what they were doing. Yes the boat is a bit older but I wanted a private tour as opposed to a packed catamaran so this served us well. Recommend them for a private tour.
Fun times on the Sunset sail
