Yacht charters in the Philippines can be a surprisingly affordable way to see the islands. Charters start at around $120/hour and range up to about $500/hour for a luxury yacht. You can also book a ticket on a yacht tour for a sunset or island hopping for just $50/person, but you will be sharing the boat with other travelers. It can be a great way to meet new people!
Fishing charters are a great activity to enjoy in the Philippines, with some islands standing out as being world-class fishing destinations. Visit Siargao or Cebu for some amazing saltwater fishing opportunities. Expect to catch Giant Trevally, Skipjack Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, and Wahoo or Tangigue to name a few.
Island hopping tours can be the most fun and affordable activities to enjoy in the Philippines, with a day tour starting at about $50/person! Climb onboard a boat and cruise around with other travelers visiting nearby islands, enjoying a delicious Filipino lunch at sea, and exploring stunning beaches and coves that look like you’re in a postcard.
Our family of 3 had a great overnight sailing adventure with Alan and Maria. They were awesome hosts and we learnt a lot from both of them about sailing and boat life. Highly recommended for adventurous and laid back group of friends, couples and families who are looking for a fun and chilled (weather permitting!) time on a catamaran.
Our trip on the Maria was such a great experience. Prior to our trip, Alan suggested a few activities for my group of 8. Alan was very flexible with our timing and requests, and was such a sport taking us out for a little adventure hike on an island to see some waterfalls. Wish we were more prepared footwear-wise for that, but what a treat! Snorkels and life vests are provided and there’s also a 2 person kayak to row around in. We set out in the late morning and came back during sunset which was such a great value. Looking forward to boarding the Maria again when we have the chance!
It was our first time sailing. Maria (the boat) is very beautiful yet very practical. We clearly were in good hands of two amicable hosts and enjoyed ourselves. It is commendable for the Captain's effort in advising us on the best time for sailing.
The staff/owner was very professional and gave us good instructions beforehand. He also gave us good recommendations on where to go and what to watch for. The boat was easy to control. It was a great time that I had with my son.
We had a great trip on the Maria with Alan! He is very nice and extremely knowledgeable! We had a group of 12 and fit comfortably on the boat. I would highly recommend a trip with Alan to anyone!
Had a blast riding Dominique’s boat. Very nice and friendly staff making the trip extra fun. Great views and a well planned boat itinerary with nice stops for swimming and relaxing.
