Discover Hobie-Cat Sailing and Fish your own Lunch

This 150-minute activity teaches you to sail a Hobie Cat, a small catamaran-style sailboat, using only the wind, and then lets you fish your own lunch. The operator frames it as a skill that gives a sense of freedom that only the ocean can give, and says that with your new skills you will be able to reach some of the most beautiful places on the planet.

The description highlights what you might meet at sea. Whale sightings are possible between December and April, and dolphins and turtles are described as an exceptional surprise. As you learn, your view and understanding of the sea change: you practice changing course and adjusting the sails to steer quickly toward flocks of birds, which show the precise location of schools of fish.

The fishing gives the outing its second half. The operator supplies the fishing equipment, and the day ends with a ceviche made from the fish you just caught, which the description calls incredibly rewarding. As always at sea, catches and wildlife sightings depend on the day and cannot be guaranteed.

The experience suits families and friends who want something more active than a usual beach trip. The operator says it will change your perception of the way you usually enjoy trips to the beach with your family or friends. It is suitable for all physical fitness levels, but it is not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health. Service animals are allowed, and public transportation options are available nearby.

Included are a licensed or certified guide, bottled water, snacks, a 16-foot Hobie Cat sailboat, life jackets, a cooler and fishing equipment. Towels are not provided, so bring your own if you need one. The listing gives no meeting point, so ask the operator where and when to arrive.
