It cost us about 40 dollars pp. plus tip for the entire tour, which included sailing, lunch, drinks and sea kayaks at the beach on Deer Island. A wonderful trip for anyone who is spending time in Mazatlan. Thnk you Captain Viktor! More

Had a wonderful time out on the catamaran with Victor and the others. Smooth seas and a wonderful sail. The light lunch was OK..but the endless drinks were great. We were fortunate to be 2 gals with one other family of 3, so it wasn't too crowded. For the price, this is a great value and would recommend it to... More

We go on a sail where ever we travel, whether in the Pacific or Caribbean. This sail was one of or best. Our crew Victor & Manuel were great, since there were only five of us on board we got the royal treatment. From the time we hit open water to the time we returned, the sails were up and... More

What a fantastic trip with Bula Catamaran Tours! We were picked up right on time in an Arrega, a canopy covered pickup, with a family from Minnesota and taken to the Mazatlan Marina. Our driver led us down the pier to our Catamaran. We introduced ourselves to our captain, Victor, and first mate/bartender/cookie/all other hands Manuel. There were just the... More

Sailing on Bula is a great way to spend a relaxing day in Mazatlan. Bula, owned by Gilberto Hulse Pena, is a 42' catamaran with a friendly local crew who goes out of their way to accomodate you. Freshly prepared sandwiches, local fruit and any drink you can imagine are all included in this day trip to Deer Island where... More

Enjoyed it. We were recommended to sail with Bula, and had a good time. We were picked up at the hotel, welcomed aboard, and had an enjoyable afternoon sailing. We left the hotel at 9:15, arrived at the dock and were underway by 10am. The day was great, not too windy, and enjoyed sitting at the front of one of... More

On my second trip to Mazatlan in 2007, we specifically looked for and reserved a sailing excursion aboard Bula. The day was beautiful, the crew of two was excellent and spoke and understood English. Gilberto Hulse, the boat owner, was at the dock to board everyone at 9 A.M. and again to wish us well when we returned at 2:30P.M.... More
