Great choice for a sail on Banderas Bay

Great choice for a sail on Banderas Bay. Rick is very accommodating. He will design the excursion to meet your needs. Our day began around 11. Rick timed our return to the Marina around sunset. We sailed without motor for about half the trip. Traveling along the beach beyond Boca. We anchored near a small beautiful beach where we snorkeled and relaxed on the beach. Included with the tour was more than enough food and drink for the 7 hour trip. The seafood and chicken skewers were delicious. There was Sangria, margaritas and beer to satisfy our thirst. Rick was full of information about the area and culture. A very good value. Highly recommend.

Great relaxing day

Sailed around the bay, enjoyed the views, enjoyed the drinks, enjoyed the food, enjoyed the conversations with our hosts Rick and Alex. Sailed into a small beach, enjoyed swimming and snorkeling. Rick went where we wanted and the entire experience was a relaxing, enjoyable day.

Sail the Bay like a Rock Star!

Rock Star Sailors will make certain you have a wonderful experience out sailing the bay. After decades of Blue Water sailings and Yacht deliveries you couldn’t be in more capable hands. Plus Rick is just a fun guy to spend the day with! As a Travel Professional myself who books people’s experiences all over the world, I highly recommend Rock Star sailors. Great value and a true highlight of anyone’s visit to Puerto Vallarta!

Thank you for helping me take my sailing to the next level!

I just wanted to thank you again for all your help and professional instruction. I hope to come back for the regatta again 2015. I joined the racing program with ASI back home on the 18′ Interlake sloops. So far I’m up for novice of the year with 4 wins and two 2nds! And about half of my races have been against intermediate sailers as well as other novices. It’s been a lot of fun! Thank you for helping me take my sailing to the next level!

It was definitely the highlight of our vacation

We had a fantastic day on the water with Rick! The freedom and comfort you get with a private charter is wonderful, the food and drinks totally exceeded our expectations, and best of all, we started the day with a great captain and ended with a new friend. It was definitely the highlight of our vacation.

We could not have asked for a better tour of the bay!

Me and four of my friends rented a sailboat for a 7 hour private cruise recently while vacationing in Puerta Vallarta… we had a wonderful time sailing with Rick and Eddie all day! Great hosts! You pick the adventure and they make it happen! The drinks and food flowed and they did everything possible to make our journey enjoyable. Thanks so much for sharing your sailboat with us Rick! We could not have asked for a better tour of the bay!

Rick’s layed back teaching method makes learning to sailing a fun yet relaxed experience

Rick is a fantastic sailing instructor. My husband and I learned a ton in our 4 day course. Rick’s layed back teaching method makes learning to sailing a fun yet relaxed experience. To top it off, after a fantastic day of wind and water he happily closes each day with watching the sunset while serving one of the best homemade margaritas I’ve ever had. If you want to enjoy a fantastic time on the beautiful waters of Nuevo, Rick and his crew are the best you can get!

Impeccable service, superb food and the best margaritas

This is real sailing, not a touristy booze cruise

Amazing private sunset cruise for my husband’s birthday. Rick helped me with the surprise and went above and beyond. This is real sailing, not a touristy booze cruise. Truly a unique experience.
