SEA QUEST
SAILING TOURS IN PALAWAN
Explore El Nido and Coron on a Private Yacht or Catamaran
Discover the wild beauty of Northern Palawan by sea. Our private sailing tours let you explore hidden coves, coral reefs, and remote islands aboard either a spacious day catamaran or a 46ft monohull sailing yacht. With full flexibility on routes and schedules, you’ll experience Palawan on your terms — without crowds, with full service.
Whether you prefer a peaceful 1-day cruise around El Nido or a multi-day sailing expedition between El Nido and Coron, all trips include meals, licensed crew, snorkeling gear, and private space for your group. Sleep onboard, in authentic island campsites, or upgrade to handpicked private island resorts.
1-Day Catamaran Tour in El Nido
This smooth and scenic day trip is perfect for couples, families, and small groups. Unlike the typical ABCD tours, our catamaran tour is a relaxing, standalone sailing experience in Bacuit Bay — not tied to any fixed itinerary.
Visit calm bays, lesser-known snorkeling spots, and open water viewpoints. The tour includes a professional crew, safety equipment, snorkeling gear, fresh local meals, and even optional sunset sailing.
