My husband, 5 yr old son and I had the absolute best time with Nica Sail & Surf! It was a smaller group the Saturday we sailed, which made the... read more trip nice and intimate. We saw seat turtles and dolphins swam right along with the boat! We docked for a while so a few people could surf (my son was in awe and asked for surfing lessons the next day). We were able to jump in and swim or just relax on the boat - both highly enjoyable. The sun set on the way back was pure magic. We can't recommend Nica Sail & Surf enough! A must do if in SJDS!

  You’d be foolish not to do this sailing trip while in San Juan del Sur. It was so easy and soooooo much fun. The perfect day.

  We’ve sailed twice on the catamaran and both times we had so much fun. We saw dolphins both times but they swam with us for 20-30min the lat time. The... read more crew were awesome and easily my favorite thing I’ve done since visiting Nicaragua.

  What an amazing day on the water with Nica sail and their incredible staff.
Definitely the highlight of my trip to San Juan del Sur.

  We had a full day sail - A wonderful time was had by all. The crew lead by Captain Brandon kept us all safe and happy, while our host... read more Amanda was always there with a ice cold beverage. The food served on the ship was top notch, delish fish kabobs and the best ceviche around.. Loved the beach, the boat, the people, the music. a wonderful day filled with great memories - wish I could give this 6 stars!!!

  Would recommend this adventure to anyone who wants to spend time sailing. The crew is professional and accommodating. It is a very safe sailing, and so relaxing. We ate well,... read more the snacks and lunch were plentiful and delicious. The fish was perfect. Chicken was also flavorful. Lovely variety of drinks and beverages. One can either swim to the white beach or stay on the catamaran. The views of course outstanding. And it was one of the most beautiful sunsets I have seen. Don’t hesitate, you’ll be glad you sailed.

  The moment we arrived at the marina we were greeted with the friendly Nica Sail and Surf staff. From the beginning to the end of the journey the captains and... read more crew made sure we were all happy and enjoying our time. We spent a half day on the boat with an amazing sail to the secluded Playa Blanca, enjoying the views along the way. Once we arrived we jumped in the water, some set out to try their luck at surfing while others swam off towards the beach to do yoga and later play spike ball. Drinks, snacks, music, dancing and laughter were flowing the entire day. The most spectacular sunset fell as we made our way back to the bay. Another day in paradise! Nica Sail and Surf is a must when in San Juan del Sur!

  Such an amazing day hanging out with friends and the wonderful Nica sail staff. The crew was fun and professional and the vibes were high!

  I’ve been on this catamaran several times and can only say good things!

  Gorgeous day out on the water with Nica Sail! We had an unforgettable experience and would highly recommend to people traveling to San Juan Del Sur.
The drinks and... read more snacks/appies they served on the boat we great and the service was great.

  This was a great escape for my 10-year-old nephew and myself. We met the hostess at the new dock in San Juan del Sur and waited for the other passengers... read more to arrive. I am horrible with names, but I think her name was Yani.
The trip was uneventful however it was very relaxing and I could tell the crew was very experienced with sailing this catamaran.

We arrived at the white beach and all the passengers started to dive and slip into the water, where they all had a ton of fun before heading to the beach.
The first mate was excellent with my 10-year-old nephew and he ensured his safety while still allowing him to have fun swimming to the beach and back to the catamaran.

Near the end of the day, we started heading back and had to get through a storm. The way the crew handled the storm impressed me.
We made it back to San Juan del Sur safely.

I want to thank Nicasail and it's crew for a wonderful time.

  We support all the 'excellent' reviews posted here. After living here 4 years building a home, we had no time to hit the water. One day eating breakfast... read more in town, we looked out at the water and took the spontaneous plunge. Booked 1 hour before departure and the experience from start to finish was most memorable. The boat, staff, guests, food, drinks and private beach excursion was the best. Zero disappointments here! --Casa Harley

Thanks to the crew for an AMAZING time!!!

  The NSS boat and team was awesome! We went sailing from San Juan Del Sur all the way up north to the Playa Colorado area for a fishing and... read more surf trip. It was amazing! We caught two big blackfin tunas on the way up and ate fresh fish, surfed the famous Panga Drops break, and slept on the boat for one night anchored Playa Gigante.

  Such a blissful perfect day sailing! The crew was amazing. Can not recommend it enough! A must do when visiting San Juan!

  It was just so easy to book. I contacted via WhatsApp number and within minutes I was booked and instead of requiring a deposit or payment in advance, Amanda (very... read more nice) just asked me to pay the host Jake when I got there. No problems there. All the staff onboard the catamaran were so friendly and just made sure you had everything you needed. It was my last day of my 5 day vacation in San Juan del Sur and it was the highlight of my vacation.

I live full time in Costa Rica and will definitely be back and can't honestly see myself not booking with them again next time I find myself in SJDS.
