Great time even w high winds and rain - Spent a lovely afternoon out of the water. Beautiful views even though we had mixed rain and Sun. Crew was super nice. Made mate and had snacks. Spent an hour or so in a beautiful lagoon. We failed by not bringing our own wine/beer, but met nice people onboard who donated some beer. Had a great time.

Wonderful evening sail - A wonderful experience on the lake. We went on the 5pm sail. Small group of people. Great skipper and loved the opportunity to take a swim.

Wonderful getaway from busy Bariloche - Very relaxing day on the water!
Small and cozy sailing yacht with a very friendly skipper.
Snacks and drinks and also the opportunity to swim in a bay.
Absolutely recommended!

A different view of Bariloche - The beautiful views and lovely weather were unmatched. The captain Camila and first mate Sebastian were so polite and accommodating! Couldn’t ask for a better crew! The boat was smaller than what the photos portrayed so it was a bit tight for a group of 6 especially older participants. All in all great experience.

Underwhelming - I was really looking forward to this sailing excursion, but unfortunately, it did not live up to the advertised experience. The promotional photos showed a beautiful sailboat with all sails up, tilted in the wind—giving the impression of an authentic sailing adventure. However, the reality was far from that.
For the majority of the trip, the boat relied on its slow motor rather than actually sailing. They only raised one sail, and at one point even only did it because we specifically asked for sail to be up. The whole experience felt more like a slow motorboat ride rather than the exhilarating sailing trip we were expecting.
To make matters worse, the seating was extremely limited and uncomfortable. Instead of being able to sit back and enjoy the ocean, we were left awkwardly trying to find a place to sit without much support. The lack of comfort only added to the overall disappointment.
Ultimately, we ended the tour early because it just wasn’t worth staying for. If you’re expecting a true sailing experience, I’d recommend looking elsewhere. This excursion felt like a bait-and-switch, and I wouldn’t book it again.

Not Worth the Price - Not worth the cost by a long shot. Way too cold to enjoy, for starters - the operators should only run this tour during the day and not in the evening. Plus for the cost you pay, I was expecting at least some nice snacks/drinks - not just coffee and cold croissants.
