Sailing & catamarans in San Juan del Sur
Sailing and catamaran days are a smaller fleet than the panga scene, mostly sunset or half-day trips on the Pacific and the occasional lake cruise. You are a guest, not the skipper, unless a listing says otherwise. Ask how many people are booked, whether drinks are included, and where you actually leave from. The good ones sell the pace, not a party.
Sunset catamarans are the product people mean when they say sailing in San Juan del Sur. They leave the bay, sail a short leg, and come back after dark. Day charters are fewer. Ask about seasickness if the wind is forecast to be strong, and ask whether the price is the boat or a shared seat. A private fishing charter is a different page.

Questions
Are sunset sails private?
Often they are shared seats. Ask whether you are booking the boat or a place on it.
Does the trip leave every day?
No. Wind and bookings cancel days. Get a yes for your date, not a general schedule.
How is this different from a panga?
A panga is a working skiff with a captain. A sail or catamaran is a leisure trip. Fishing charters are on the Fishing page.
