Rio Dulce Sail Afternoon sunset tour


No. OF DAYS: 1/2 day
SEASON: All year
LOCATION: Rio Dulce

This very pleasant and relaxed sailing adventure is the perfect way to spend an afternoon for one or two couples.

We set sail immediately after departing the dock at Tijax on the 28’ Herreshoff Ketch “POC”, once the sails are tuned adjusted we sail downwind under the Rio Dulce bridge onto the the San Felipe Bay past the fort and into the Izabal Lake proper.

Sailing past the fort reminds one of the old days of the Pirates when they slipped under the cannons and over the chains that closed the entrance to the Lake. After a few runs abeam we usually find a secluded bay for a swim and a snack of cheese and wine or beer until sunset at which time se reset sails and tack upwind to Tijax as the light go on in the village and the bridge….

Expect to see gorgeous sunsets and spectacular moonrises as well as rainbows and unusual cloud formations.
Do not forget your swim gear, tanning lotion, and camera.
