Located in Puerto Cabello, our beautiful Shamballa 57' is only 90 nautical miles from Las Aves and Bonaire. Only 45 minutes from Valencia international airport it is quite easy to have you transfer to our boat. It is also possible to make a transfer from Caracas but it takes about 3 to 4.5 hours. We usually sail during the night to take advantage of an early dive and nice breakfast. Here in Venezuela the winds are constant throughout the year and we take full advantage of our sailboat. You can participate to all maneuvers and get sailing experience!
