Highlights

Departing from the beach in Playas del Coco at 1:30 pm you will enjoy a four and one half hour (4 1/2) hour sail along Costa Rica’s spectacular coastline on one of the purpose built catamarans found within the Marlin del Rey fleet. All are open and spacious allowing passengers to comfortably enjoy the blue water views of the Costa Rican coastline with its pristine beaches and verdant jungles.

Upon departing Playas del Coco we leisurely sail along the Gold Coast will searching for some of the vast, abundant and varied sea life found along our shores. Some of the sea life we hope to encounter includes whales, dolphins, turtles, flying fish, rays and a wide variety of sea birds. If conditions permit we will also throw a few fishing lines off the back in the hopes of hooking into one of the many game fish that ply our waters.

Eventually we pull into one of the many secluded bays in the area, throw anchor and allow our passengers the opportunity to swim in the warm Costa Rican waters. Life vests, pool noodles, snorkel equipment and stand up paddle boards are available should weather conditions permit. For those passengers not wanting to get wet the catamaran is a great place to relax in the shade of the huge main salon or lounge in the sun on one of the many open deck areas.

Following our time playing in the water, a light lunch is served. Lunch is served at approximately 4:30 pm and includes the following:
• BBQ Chicken,
• Yellow rice,
• Black beans,
• Fresh Fruit Plates,
• Chips (Doritos, Lay’s,Cheetos and Tostitos),
• Fresh made Pico de Gallo and
• Homemade chocolate chip cookies using our Grandmas favorite recipe.

Our tour also includes a premium open bar. The offerings from our bar include the following beverages, all the mixes one can possibly imagine and a blender to make that extra special tropical drink or an all natural tropical fruit smoothie:
• Soft Drinks: Pepsi, Pepsi Light, Ginger Ale, 7 Up, Toronja (Fresca), Tonic Water, Soda Water and Bottle Water
• Juices: Orange juice, mixed fruit juice , cranberry juice, apple juice and tomato juice.
• Beer: Imperial, Miller and Coors Light.
• Liquor: Flor de Caña Rum, Absolut Vodka, Jack Daniels Whiskey, Tanqueray Gin, Jose Cuervo Tequila and Cacique Guaro.
• Wine: Frontera Cabernet Sauvignon and Frontera Sauvignon Blanc. After lunch we pull anchor, raise the sails and casually motor sail across the bay and back towards Playas del Coco. We arrive at port as the sun nears the horizon and the sky explodes into a multitude of colors. Passengers disembark on the sands of Playas del Coco just after the sun has sunk beyond the horizon.

Sea life and sunsets - We had a fantastic time on this tour! The staff was absolutely amazing. We saw sea turtles, dolphins, and even 2 humpback whales on the ride out to the cove where we snorkeled. While snorkeling, we saw a ton of fish, eels, sea urchins, and a sting ray. The drinks and food were amazing as well. We left the shore around 1:15pm and got back pretty shortly after 6pm. Highly recommend!

Sunset and snorkel catamaran trip - The trip was awesome but the crew made it even better. We have never experienced the level of attentiveness that we experienced in this trip. I recommend anyone interested in this trip to jump at the chance to take the trip with this company!

Delivered Everything Advertized - You take a boat out to the catamaran, so get there a little early to make sure you find the group at the beach. There is an open bar so that you can get a drink right away. They sail out for one and half hours before anchoring so you can swim and snorkel in a cove that has a beach to walk on as well. After reboarding, you get a tasty lunch buffet style. They then head off to return to Coco and watch the sun setting along the way. We had the added bonus of watching frigate birds hunting fish the entire way out and saw dolphins twice. To make this an enjoyable experience, you need the weather to cooperate and have the right amount of people on the boat. The crew were friendly and made the ride seamless.

Cool, but wrong email location. Check yours. - Amazing time! The email we recieved prior to the event contained the wrong meet-up location. Luckily, they still took us on the trip even though we should have joined the Coco sailing location. We drove 1 hour out of the way.

Not a pleasant experience - Beware! Our tickets said pick up was included, but they said they wouldn't pick us up. They offered to move us to another location, but also wanted to charge us again plus $120 to pick us up. And they don't provide enough food. By the time I got to the buffet, there was 1 drumstick and 1 wing left, no cookies and minimal fruit. The Catamaran trip itself was nice, but between the snafu with pickup, food and us having to drive 3 hours, I wouldn't do it again.

Not understanding $ terrible communication - Could not make it due to transportation. We let them know 23 hours prior. Total was $774 and they only issued a $110 refund. They were not understanding or willing to communicate at all.
