We did a 2 hour private sailing lesson with Pablo and had a great time! It wasn't the windiest day, but Pablo made sure to find us a breeze and we had so much fun. Would definitely recommend!

We did five 2 hour private lessons with the sailing coach Pablo in one week. We practiced in a Vanguard boat and and learned to use the extension tiller. We also practiced a lot of tacking and jibing. Pablo placed the buoys for us to practice turning around. And he was in an assist boat ready to help and giving us instructions. The owner Zephyr was super responsive with any of our questions. Me and my friend had a great time learning to sail. I can say that I improved a lot and understand much better on how the sailing works.

We took the whole family including kids ages 6 and 12 sailing for the first time with La Fragata at Los Suenos Marina last weekend. We had a wonderful time and learned alot! The instructors were extremely knowledgeable, safe and patient with kids and parents both. Herradura bay is an excellent place to practice sailing, water was calm and protected. The parents learned in a Vanguard 15 sail boat and the kids were in very cute little optimist dinghys. Everybody had fun and is ready to go again next time we are in Jaco area.
