A perfect experience! We booked a private sunset sail that included 10 of us (adults and tween kids). We were picked up right from the beach in Playa Hermosa. Waves were a little big but we had no issues getting on the boat. The crew was wonderful, the boat was clean and well-outfitted. Service was extraordinary - friendly, professional, responsive and so helpful. The drinks and food were fantastic - including an extra sashimi plate with fresh tuna that was SO yummy. It was amazing. Highly recommend Charlie and his crew.

We had an outstanding experience! Our crew - Captain Dennis, Humberto (bartender and snorkeling guide) and Kidar (dive master) provided us with excellent service. We had a group of eight people. Some of the group went scuba diving, some attempted to fish. There was a complete bar with plenty of ice cold beverages, fresh guacamole and fruit. We motored to a private island where a delicious lunch was prepared by a French chef - grilled chicken, tenderloin and veggies with a huge fresh salad. After lunch we snorkeled, swam, stand up paddle boarded, and enjoyed the sun. Then it was time to put the sails up. The crew made sure we had plenty of cold drinks, great music and lots of photo opportunities. This perfect day on the water was capped by the best view of the sunset. We were very impressed and pleased with our experience and would highly recommend!

From the moment of contact, everything flowed very well. We were offered several options of catamarans, and the person on the phone advised us in a sincere and honest way until we defined the schedule as well as the catamaran. One point to highlight is that this is real sailing, using the power of the wind and sails, which is not always the case in other areas where we have sailed. Besides the good service, fresh food and delicious cocktails, the tour really emphasizes the natural part, which we loved. We were able to see two species of dolphins, unfortunately we did not see whales because it was not the season :( . On the beach, where we were served BBQ style lunch, some very daring little monkeys arrived. It was a beautiful day and to top it all off, on the way back we saw a breathtaking sunset from aboard the catamaran.

What a great 1/2 day on the Zafira.
After boarding the beautiful catamaran we sailed to a cove where we jumped in the water, listened to music and enjoyed the beautiful surroundings.
Then we were treated to an amazing lunch. We didn't think we were being served lunch but it was one of the best meals we had while in Tamarindo.
The catamaran was spotless; the crew of Joshua, Papi and Emerson were very professional, knowledgeable and fun. Papi who is a chef, roasted a just caught Rooster fish. Along with the Rooster fish which was wrapped in foil and cooked in a grill, we had chicken tacos, a delicious salad and the most flavorful frijoles negros that I have ever had!
It was a great morning!

We had the most wonderful day snorkeling, sailing and had lunch on a private beach. Captain Jean Luc and Jordan were very nice and friendly but also left us to relax quietly. Plenty of drinks. Our only disappointment was the food at lunch. We just had a simple bland chicken rice and some shredded lettuce. For USD875 a day for 2 people we had hoped the food would be better. The guacamole, snacks and fruit were nice. we still recommend this company for a private tour but maybe bring your own lunch.

We had an exceptional experience on the catamaran. The service was outstanding, and the crew, including the captain, were incredibly kind and attentive. The trip was beautifully centered around nature, offering us the chance to witness dolphins, sea turtles, and seabirds up close. We were also taken to a secluded beach where we enjoyed snorkeling and even tried our hand at fishing. The journey back was highlighted by one of the most stunning sunsets we encountered during our time in Guanacaste. The catamaran itself was not only well-maintained but also quite impressive.

My adult sons and I (three people total) had a wonderful private sail with this company while nearby for a wedding. The boat is a luxurious catamaran and the crew are professional and so helpful and friendly and kind. They make you feel like royalty. Thanks to Kadir, Charlie and Dennis. You guys rock! Charlie made excellent cocktails and put out a feast of food -- they called it snacks but it was dinner for us :) Don't hesitate to use this first class operation if you are looking for a private sail.

Booking was easy and expedient. Price was comparable to other tour groups. Our group of 8 was picked up right at the beach of RIU Guanacaste, in a smaller outboard motor boat, then delivered to the Catamaran. The captain and crew were great! We saw some dolphins, and a couple of whale tails, a sea cave, Gorilla Rock, some beautiful coast line, and the sunset. The snorkeling was not the best area that we have experienced, but it was fine for the day. The drinks and snacks were plentiful. We had a great day on the water, and really enjoyed the experience.

If you are looking for a top quality sailing catamaran, picking you up directly at the hotel beach, then I highly recommend it.
Also, the crew is very cordial, friendly and helpful, as well as knowledgeable about the wildlife in the area. We saw three sea turtles, dolphins and some whales in the distance.
I believe the company works in all of Guanacaste, in our case we were at Secrets Papagayo, but they also do the same in the other hotels in Papagayo, as well as Flamingo and Cochal.

We had an amazing private tour with Steven, Noemie and Fernanda. We have young kids and they were extremely accommodating to the kids. The food was so good and so were the drinks. They took us to a private beach where we could swim and snorkel. Really there is nothing that could’ve been better. If you’re looking for a private tour do not look anywhere else!
