I have always said, “A day on the water is better than any day on land”. It doesn’t matter if it’s fishing or sailing, any day on the ocean is memorable.
With three friends celebrating birthdays and two friends leaving Nicaragua we had plenty of reason to bring a group together for a special day. We decided to charter the Two Guys Adventures Pirate Ship.
THE SHIP
This massive 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom 50-foot luxury sailing yacht has capacity for up to 30 guests. With just 25 in our group, we had plenty of space to stretch out and relax.
OUR HOSTS
Owners Joey and Kelsey are great hosts and really know how to show you a good time. Kelsey wears a devious little grin as she serves round after round of her famous “pirate grog”.
And Joey has definitely mastered the art of the sailboat selfie!
OUR EXPERIENCE
We left the port in San Juan shortly after 1 pm and sailed to the private white sand beach known of Playa Blanca.
Here there was lots of time for swimming, snorkeling and walking the beach.
First mate, Victor expertly “jetisoned” ice cold Toñas out to us as we floated around in the warm crystal clear water. Kelsey’s delicious ceviche made an appearance about this time as well.
When you get a large group of your good friends together on the water with nothing but sunny skies, warm winds and good conversation it brings you back to why you came here in the first place — to spend the highest quality time with the people you want to share it with.
As you can well imagine after a few hours of sailing, swimming and drinking the ride back home was full of joking, laughing and dancing.
The one picture I couldn’t post was the team “full moon” pose. It was taken during the day, so it isn’t tough to imagine the moons on display.
We arrived back in the bay of San Juan just as the sun was setting. None of us were ready for the day to end, which was clearly a sign of a great adventure! Maybe next time we can do an overnighter?
San Juan del Sur’s favorite excursion that Jerry Seinfeld had all wrong.
Since the Two Guys Adventures luxury pirate ship wasn’t sailing during Jerry’s rein I guess he can’t be blamed for his famous line, “I don’t want to be a pirate.”

You guys are living the dream! Can’t hardly wait to December to meet you!!
Thanks, Thomas! It’s been almost five years since we left our life in Canada and I have to say Nicaragua has treated us very well!
Cheers,

Love your blog! Glad I found it. You two seem like a lot of fun. I hope our paths cross one day!
I stay in Nicaragua quite a bit (currently in Managua but looking for a house to rent in Ometepe for a couple months). I found your site earlier today trying to see what other people do about Internet. I’m a heavy user because of my work. I use about 30-40GB/month. In Managua with home Internet that’s no problem. But the houses I’m looking at in Ometepe don’t have Internet so I’d need a 4G stick. Claro plans only goes up to 8GB and Moviestar to 12GB though. I tried to pay 3x the price for 3x the Internet but they don’t even have the ability to offer that to me even if I’m willing to pay! Hopefully I’ll find a solution, or go to Plan B.
Anyway – keep up the good work over here!

Hi Paul,
Have you read this article we published?

Not sure if they service Ometepe but if so, Wifinic might be a good option for you there.
Cheers,
Elisha
