About Pura Vida Sailing Charters
Pura Vida Sailing Charters operates private sailing experiences led by Captain Eric. The company specializes in tailored charters that include intimate sunset sails, half-day and full-day private sails, four‑hour customizable yacht trips, and a dignified Ashes at Sea Burial service. Guests can expect attentive captaining, opportunities for wildlife viewing including dolphins, whales, and sea lions, and optional curated food and drink add‑ons such as charcuterie boards, shrimp, lobster, and champagne.
Trips are designed for small groups seeking relaxation, celebration, learning, or memorial services. The Sunset Sail provides a two‑hour coastal cruise focused on relaxation and scenic views. The Pura Sail Half Day (two or three hours) and Pura Sail Four Hour/Half Day Trip emphasize hands‑on sailing instruction, wildlife spotting, and flexible itineraries. The Pura Sail Day Sail offers extended time on the water for exploration and deeper immersion. The Ashes at Sea Burial is a 2.5‑hour ceremonial service that combines a respectful scattering with natural beauty and private reflection.
Safety and professionalism are priorities: charters are captain‑led and privately booked to maintain discretion and personalized attention. Catering options and beverage choices are available to match the tone of each voyage, from celebratory champagne to quiet remembrance. Pura Vida Sailing Charters focuses on creating meaningful, memorable moments on the water through skilled seamanship, thoughtful service, and the unique setting of open ocean horizons. Booking is private and flexible, with custom itineraries, onboard amenities, and attentive pre-trip communication to ensure each voyage aligns with guests' priorities, dietary needs, comfort, scheduling, and expectations.
