Even before boarding the vessel Marcel (owner) was complaining in front of all of us (customers) about us not being good business for him because we were all (12 passengers) using Oferta Simple. This was really uncomfortable, he made us feel as if he was doing us a FAVOR in taking us out, even though we had paid for the... More

My wife and I spent four nights (Mon, 5/7 - Thu, 5/10) this last week at deservedly top-rated Garden of Eden ("GE") in Bocas Del Toro, our first visit to the Bocas area. GE recommended Bocas Sailing's ("BS's"), day excursion, and one of GE's staff, with years of experience in Bocas, called BS Monday in our presence and made reservations... More

What a fabulous day! If you can only do one thing while you are in Bocas del Toro -- take the one day catamaran tour at Bocas Sailing! Bocas is all about water and you can't really experience it's wonder without exploring it ON the water! There are water taxis and pangas zipping here and there, but there is nothing... More

Although I've lived in Bocas del Toro for about a year and a half, I've never had such a full day of experiences. Captain Harty (Hartmut Volberg) started the trip by letting us know where we would be sailing and stopping, and to warn us not to touch or disturb any of the wildlife or coral we were about to...

We had a private party of 8. Two of which were kids 4 & 6. We had a fantastic day. After an interesting start, we had a great time. Marcel was our captain for the day and he was beyond friendly and helpful. We got to pick our destinations, with help from Marcel and we were not diasappointed. I would... More

The experience is great. We had dolphins playing around the boat, great snorkeling, rain and most of all amazing views. Marcell is a good host that cares for his group and provides a great atmosphere. Kids loved it all! Sandwiches and fruit provided were of good quality. More

Defintely better than the motor tour. Great crew, good tips on the outstanding snorkeling. Our group a little quiet but easily one of my best days in Bocas. Great value as well for complete day. More

There are a lot of great things to do in Bocas but none of them are as inspiring as a day of sailing with Marcel. He took us out and showed us the beauty of Bocas in ways no one else could. We saw dolphins, fish of all colors, a stingray, crazy corral and had a blast sitting and talking... More

Marcel, the captain, has been on the island for over a decade. He knows the area very well and to boot, he's hilarious. They offer daily sailing trips for $45/person or $40 if you're a student. We went to dolphin bay to watch the dolphins swimming (Marcel has named them himself) then snorkeled at 2 different sites. Lunch is included... More

Marcel is the king! What a great sailing host! His stories of sailing and knowledge of the area enriched our experience in an unexpected way. When we come back, we'll be pre-booking our day.... and bringing friends! More
