Operated by Veleando Ando Bacalar · Bacalar, Quintana Roo
Bacalar, located in the southern reaches of Quintana Roo, Mexico, is a destination defined by its striking freshwater lagoon, known as the Lagoon of Seven Colors. Its vibrant blue and turquoise waters are created by unique limestone formations, soft white sandbanks, and shifting depths, making it an unparalleled locale for water-based activities. At the heart of this natural wonder, Veleando Ando Bacalar offers the Renta el Catamarán Hobbie Cat Wave, a 14-foot catamaran rental that invites adventurers to take the helm and navigate this majestic lagoon on their own terms.
This experience allows groups of up to three people to sail independently for up to four hours, embracing both the thrill of maneuvering a nimble Hobbie Cat Wave and the tranquility of Bacalar’s placid waters. The catamaran’s design—lightweight and agile—makes it accessible for beginners while still responsive enough to engage more experienced sailors. Renting your own vessel from Veleando Ando Bacalar means breaking free from scripted tours; feel the wind shift in your sails and chart your own path across the lagoon’s surface.
What sets this adventure apart is the combination of freedom and immersion it offers. The lagoon is dotted with notable natural amenities like the Cenote Azul, a deep sinkhole with inviting dark waters, and Isla de los Pájaros, a sanctuary for native bird species.
