The 40-foot Sirena Azul Sailboat “Blue Mermaid” is a traditional Belize style sailboat built with quality craftsmanship and is made out of hardwoods found in Belize, including Santa ... moreMaria, Bullet and Mahogany. 
Guests say the Sirena Azul Sailing tour is the highlight of their visit to Belize. We hire local and knowledgable guides that allow you to learn about the Belize reef as you experience it. The boat has a very unique style with its cabin shape and wide beam. We added a diesel inboard engine, bathroom, cushions and modern window hardware and lighting for the comfort of our guests.

So much fun!
This tour was the best experience I had in Belize. Seeing the reefs and swimming with the nurse sharks was incredible. It was relaxing and enjoyable to take a sailboat to the reserve - we saw sea turtles and manatees on the way there and back. I recommend this tour to families and people who are new to snorkeling - it was easy to keep up and it was not a long trek to the reserve. The borrowed gear ... more was good quality - the snorkels did not take on water and the fins were easy to put on.
