    Amazing trip in the ocean to watch whales. We also got to see the whale sharks. The service was so friendly and cool, and the boat is clean and very nice. I enjoyed this day, but watch out for the waves and the bumpy ride in case of winds (take some medicines just in case)

    An adventure to remember! A great experience around the bay of Trincomalee and Nilawali with Sail Lanka sail boats. Excellent experience with family and kids with plenty of activities such as snorkelling, swimming and kayaking. Superb food and beverages, comfy chilling spaces and very friendly staff makes it extra special! Anura, our captain and his crew were super friendly and were extra careful about our safety all the time. Will definitely do it again!

    Sail Lanka was a one of a kind adventure. Ideal to book the yacht at a maximum capacity of 20. Once you are onboard, you could barely feel the concept time as the serene view & relaxed atmosphere slows everything down. Beware of sea/motion sickness which can be a downer if you don't take the necessary precautions. Good served onboard was amazing. The crew were really friendly & supportive!

    Hi, I wanted to share our Sail Lanka experience about our Mirissa Whale Watching trip on the boat JADE today. We - family 4 PAX - booked via WA just one day ahead and we were assured that there are only 18-20 PAX total on board including us. One of us got sick and couldn’t join. No money back and 23 Pax total onboard. So, they overbooked by 20%. Then there is nothing about sailing. It’s a diesel yacht w/o the usage of any sail at any moment! Very choppy sea. No sight of whales only 2 dolphins for 5min. At the end of a 6 hours cruise along the coast they stopped 150m in front of the harbour to let us swim. Another family left the boat early by water taxi. We started late and finished more than 30min. early w/o explanation. Communication with the crew is minimal. E.g. we saw Sri Lankas most southern point with Dondra lighthouse. No comments from anybody. No snorkeling, no SUP. Service, friendliness and food is good for a boat trip. Whereas welcome drinks and refreshments drinks on an European price level could be so much more than just water. Extremely disappointing and absolutely not worth the money: 4 adults: $408,- plus $18,- wildlife fee per adult. The repeated claim is a 50:50 chance of seeing whales. Due to other reports I doubts this probability very much.

    After a fully packed week travelling around center and southern Sri Lanka, we enjoyed the last three days on catamaran "Jade". The crew could not have been better: Captain Samitha, chef Ranjith, lifeguard Viduranga and crew assistant Janaka took care of all our needs and made us feel welcome from the very first moment. Thanks to them we got very close to a blu whale (what an emotion!), numerous pilot whales and dolphins. The delicious meals were freshly prepared by Ranjith, our boys could fish with the crew, result of which was served for lunch. The catamaran was spacious and comfortable; with its 4 cabins it was perfect for our group of 8. We absolutely do recommend Sail Lanka Charter! Thank you, "Jade"-Crew!!!

    Their yacht is superb and we experienced a awesome sea cruise with sail lanka... V friendly staff who enhance the cruising experience. We did a 2hr sunset cruise and strongly recommend this to tourists who wish to try out something different.

    We absolutely loved our stay at catamaran, Mirissa on 2nd n 3rd jan,2023 was beautiful and all of the team did their very best to make us feel at home and our stay special. (captain- Mr. Samantha, Chef- Mr. Shantha, Lifeguards- Mr. Dinusha n Mr. Rusiru) It was wonderful sitting out on deck in the endless sunshine with amazing views of turquoise sea and watching the dolphins splashing sea water and It was incredible to watch these beautiful creatures so close to the boat. The food was really delicious and was so happy with your iconic dishes… Loved the experience and would definitely go back next time as well. ❤️Sail Lanka

    Crew was really good and food was good as well. We saw a shark whale and that was really nice too. But the entire time we were throwing up. So it's really not for you if you have motion/sea sickness. Maybe take the pills. But those who took the pill also had a hard time. Maybe the mirissa sea was rough that day, but it was such a bad experience. We were aboard the sapphire catamaran, the sleeping cabins are not big (reasonably so), you have to climb up to the bed and they switch on the AC only at night, so it's pretty much heated up during the day. The rooms not ideal if you're claustrophobic. So look into those aspects before booking. But if you can roughen out for a day, and motion sickness is not a problem you'll have a good time enjoying the sunsets, food and hospitable crew.

    Had a nice trip in the catamaran. The crew members ( Andrew, Fernando, madhu) were very friendly and their services were great. Loved the food that they served.

    My family and I had the most amazing time on the Ocean Diamond. We booked the 7hour tour. We first set off to look for whales - we found a Bryde’s whale and got a great view of it breaching the water. I picked this company as they follow marine laws and keep a good distance from the wildlife unlike many of the other tours that operate. We had breakfast and lunch and even caught a fish which we ate as part of our lunch. We cruised back slowly and anchored so my self and family could jump off the boat and have a swim. We tried some kayaking the there were options for snorkelling, paddle boarding and fishing. The staff and service were excellent we would highly recommend this company. Thanks to all the team!

    The best catamarans in South. We spent a great time cruising on sunset.

    We were lucky enough to get a catamaran to ourselves and had a wonderful time. The crew were brilliant with us and our eight month old son, and they tried their hardest to get us the experience we wanted, which resulted in a truly incredibly encounter with a blue whale
