Pura Vida Sailing Charters
Sailing with a hint of instruction and a glass of champagne. If you would like a little sailing instruction and a lot of classic nautical sailboat charm, this charter is for you! We sail, sip a bit of champagne, listen to the sound of the wind and sea and encourage people to leave their problems and shoes at the dock (it’s ok keep your shoes on…).
