The yacht
75 feet of classic Caribbean sailing
Flying Wing is a 75-foot classic sailing yacht — a wide shaded cockpit, varnished teak, cream sails, and the unmistakable warmth of a yacht that has been loved and looked after for years.
For a single day, she is yours and your guests' alone. Captain at the helm, deckhand on the sheet, chef in the galley. Three private guest cabins below if anyone wants to nap or change. No shared groups, no fixed itinerary, no flotilla — just one yacht, one party, one perfect day on the Samaná coast.

Step 1
9:00 AM
Boarding at Marina Puerto Bahía

Step 2
10:00 AM
First anchor stop
Sail round to Bahía de San Lorenzo or down the leeward coast toward Playa Playa Rincón. Mooring up, swim ladder out, snorkelling gear ready. The first hour at anchor is everyone's favourite.

12:30 PM
Lunch at anchor
Chef-prepared lunch served on deck — grilled local fish, salads, fresh bread. Eat unhurried, swim again after.
Step 4
2:00 PM
Snorkel + paddleboards
The afternoon at anchor — the the bay reef at Bahía de San Lorenzo, sea turtles over the reef, snorkel along the rocky points, paddleboards out across the bay.
Step 5
5:00 PM
Return for sunset
Sail back into Marina Puerto Bahía in the golden hour. Stay aboard for a sunset drink before drop-off, or close out and head ashore.

Quick answers
+What's included in the $1,595?
The yacht, the three crew (captain, deckhand, and chef), fuel for a normal day of sailing, all meals (a full lunch is standard, breakfast and snacks if requested), soft drinks and water, snorkelling gear, paddleboards, and every marina or mooring fee. Wine, champagne, and special menus are quoted on the day.
+How do we get to the boat?
We meet you on Marina Puerto Bahía, on Samaná's south-east coast. Most guests fly into Samaná El Catey International Airport (El Catey, AZS) — about twenty-five minutes by road, with direct flights from Amsterdam, Miami, New York, and across Latin America — and we arrange a private transfer to the marina. Pickup time is usually 9 AM and the day runs eight hours.
+Can I bring children?
Yes. Flying Wing is set up for families — children's life jackets aboard, snorkelling gear sized down, and the chef happy to prepare child-friendly meals. Three private cabins below if anyone wants to nap.
+What if it rains or the weather changes?
We rebook to the next available day at no charge. Samaná sits in our winter sailing season, so we sail reliably all year — the trade winds are steady and the arid climate means rain days are rare whatever the month.
+Is there a deposit at enquiry?
No deposit is taken at enquiry. We hold the date for 48 hours while you confirm with your party. Deposit is only required when the booking is confirmed.
+Can we extend into a sunset sail?
Yes. Sunset extensions are billed at $250 per additional hour — we can also arrange dinner aboard or a sunset cocktail set-up at anchor. Quoted on the day.
