Chris G.
“Sailing with Philippe was our favorite activity while vacationing in Puerto Vallarta. We booked the 1-day Introduction course and had such a great time. It was easy to book, informative, safe, and most importantly, a fun way to spend an afternoon in the bay. I highly recommend this if you’re curious about learning how to sail.”
