? Full Description

Your journey begins as you depart the coast and set sail across the blue waters of Costa Rica’s Pacific. While the crew raises the sails, you can relax on the deck with a refreshing drink from the open bar. As the catamaran glides along the shoreline, take in the stunning scenery of hidden bays, jungle-covered hillsides, and pristine beaches.

Midway through your trip, the catamaran anchors in a calm, protected bay. Here, you can put on the provided snorkeling gear and explore the underwater world, where colorful fish and marine life swim among the rocks. If you prefer to stay dry, simply relax onboard or take a short walk on the soft white sand of a nearby deserted beach.

While you enjoy the water, the crew prepares a light meal featuring chicken or pasta salad, fresh fruit, chips, pico de gallo, guacamole, and homemade cookies. As you begin the return journey, the sun starts to sink toward the horizon, painting the sky with shades of orange, pink, and gold. This magical sunset moment is the perfect end to your sailing experience.
