Pura Sail (Day Sail): Two Hours

Meet at either the Jolly Roger Dock or at P Dock, located near Joe’s Crab Shack Oceanside Harbor. Arrive slightly early for the four-minute safety brief and trip discussion. We motor out of the slip and normally set the mainsail while still in the harbor. We unfurl the jib while exiting the harbor. Guests are soon invited to settle in as we look for sea lions, dolphins and whales. The trip is two hours, guests can participate in steering the boat and trimming the sails, then turn back towards the harbor for the last hour. There is time for sailing instruction or just sit back and relax and listen to the sound of the wind on the water. Guests are welcome to bring their own refreshments or opt for our prepared charcuterie boards and champagne options. We hope you fully enjoy this private ocean side sailing experience.

Pura Sail (Day Sail): Three Hours

Our Three hour sail is much like or two hour sail, except we add another hour. This additional time allows us to sail a bit further and greatly increases the likelihood of finding whales and dolphins. The three-hour trip is our most popular option, and guests normally return to dock with lifelong ocean going memories.
