we had such a great day on the boat the first day that we went back for another trip a few days later... saw humpbacks, did some snorkeling and saw tonnes of colorful tropical fish, explored some caves, got to learn a bit about sailing... and basically had a blast with Darrin, Pancho, and the rest of the crew. highly...

The crew and friends of Sayula 1 were the highlight of our one week stay in Sayulita. I would recommend to anyone to take this trip. We were only a group of four joined by one other couple and Pancho and company still took us out for a really great afternoon. We just had to show up in the plaza... More

What a day....... Darren and crew went out of their way to help us see the whales playing in the water. The sightings were an added bonus to the great day sailing and snorkeling in the bay. Thanks

The crew were fabulous! They took care of us every minute of the day. The food was very good. We saw whales up close, went snorkeling and had ceviche made from a fish they caught while we were sailing. I highly recommend this trip.

I’m assuming that if you’re reading this then you’re doing some research to figure out which boat you should charter when visiting PV and/or Sayulita. The good news is, your search is now over as you have found the BEST boat this side of the Pacific. Captain Darrin and his trusty crew are solid & will ensure that whatever you... More

The boat provided a lovely, stable sail, while the crew were thoughtful and attentive, especially Poncho! The captain at the helm did a terrific job of keeping us remarkably close to the whales as they blew, dove, slapped the waves and... More

Capt Jack Sparrow/ Darren and his crew did a fantastic job making sure all aboard had a great time .The fruit plate in the morning and sandwiches in the after noon were fresh and delicious. Drinks were not forced on anyone but are plentiful, and the Captains punch is a favorite of mine. We saw many whales playing and breaching... More

I went on the Sayula 1 with five other people - three people were my friends and another couple. We had no idea what we were in for. I had done one other whale watching trip in Hawaii a year earlier: it was three hours long, some booze and some long distance views of whales. The trip on the Sayula... More

On December 31st we went for an amazing cruise with Captain Darrin and his crew. The day was glorious, and was the highlight of our Mexico trip. With plenty good food, cold beer and cocktails, plus plenty wild life (we saw tons of whales!) and a super awesome crew, we had a blast. Whilst some of the cruises in the... More
