Next month we're heading to Surf Club for the second time. So excited! We'd like to take a sunset sail. I would guess they're all the same and deciding between Red Sail that leaves from the Hyatt and Pelican that is between Holiday Inn and Playa Linda. Which location is closer to Surf Club?

Where would be a good but not too expensive place to dine after the sail?

Is there anything that leaves from the Marriott area?

Thank you for all your suggestions!

Check out the Black Pearl. Great sunset cruise and I believe it leaves from the Surf Club pier.

Hmmm..that's certainly convenient. I just looked them up and it sounds great except we weren't really wanting to snorkel. Still, its worth thinking about. Thank You!

Who says you have to snorkel? Just have a grilled cheese sandwich (read the reviews) and another drink and enjoy the trip! My family found it to be a very relaxing experience.

We did the Red Sail Sunset cruise about 1.5 years ago and loved it. I think we just caught a casual dinner at Taste of Belgium. It was fine but nothing memorable.

Those grilled cheese sandwiches get rave reviews! And the loungers on the boat look really comfortable. Maybe we'll use them !

Totally agree with the Black Pearl suggestion. We just sailed with them again two weeks ago. Joann and Albert are great and they leave the Pier right in front of the Surf Club.

If you do take the Red Sail from down near Pelican Pier, a good reasonable place to eat is Casa Tua across from the Hyatt or Hilton

Well Black Pearl was booked for the night we wanted so Red Sail will have to do. I will look into Casa Tua. Thanks for the suggestion.
