Great day on the water with Clem and Michelle. Really easy communication starting a couple of days before the tour. On time pickup at our hotel. They also went the extra mile by making this an extra special birthday celebration. The boat was decorated with balloons and a sign when we boarded. And they even brought a wonderful cake. The whole experience felt warm, personal, and was very relaxing.

Our sunset catamaran sail at Playa Hermosa was easily one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we stepped on board, the crew made us feel completely welcome — warm, authentic, and genuinely happy to share their slice of paradise with us. The food was fantastic — fresh, flavorful, and way beyond what you’d expect on a sail. Everything felt thoughtfully prepared, not just thrown together. Drinks were flowing, music was just right (good vibes without being overwhelming), and the atmosphere was relaxed yet celebratory. The real magic, though, was the sunset. Watching the sky shift from gold to pink to deep orange while sailing along the coast was unforgettable. It felt intimate and peaceful, not crowded or overly commercial. What made it special wasn’t just the scenery — it was the people. The crew brought such authentic energy, sharing stories, laughing with guests, and creating a space that felt natural rather than staged. If you’re in Playa Hermosa and debating whether to book a sunset sail — do it. It’s the perfect blend of great food, good vibes, beautiful scenery, and genuinely wonderful people. Highly recommend. 🌅⛵️

We booked a full-day private catamaran sailing out of Playa Panama to celebrate my partner’s birthday, and it became the absolute highlight of our trip. If you’re staying anywhere in Guanacaste Province, this is truly a must-do experience. From the moment we were picked up, everything felt thoughtful, relaxed, and perfectly paced. We sailed north along the coast, tucking into beautiful coves and bays for breathtaking views and snorkeling. The weather, water, and scenery were all stunning. Clem and Michelle were gracious and attentive hosts, striking the perfect balance between engaging with us and allowing us to fully enjoy our time at sea. Carlos, one of the crew members, was incredibly knowledgeable — sharing local facts, wildlife insights, and cultural context that made the day feel immersive. Snorkeling with him was a highlight: we saw sea turtles, eels, puffer fish, trumpet fish, and even monkeys along the shoreline. The food and drinks exceeded expectations — welcome cocktails and fresh fruit, fresh guac and chips, oven-fired pizza, great cocktails (plus beer), and music that perfectly matched the laid-back, sunny-on-the-water vibe. The true “wow” moment was celebrating my partner’s birthday at sunset. Clem and Michelle helped me coordinate decorations and even arranged a beautiful cake from a local baker, timed perfectly for sunset — an unforgettable memory. We enjoyed this experience so much that we already know we’ll be booking it again when we return to Costa Rica. Highly recommend for couples or small groups looking for a truly special, immersive day on the water.

This was a fabulous experience for my husband and I. The perfect mix of luxury sailing, great home-cooked food, drinks and wildlife. I would recommend the full day experience for a relaxed tour of some great beaches and reef. Michelle and Clem are wonderful hosts and the crew member Carlos was instrumental in our snorkelling experience and finding some monkeys and turtles!

We had a private half day tour with Captain Clem, Carlos and Michelle. They were knowledgeable, timely and professional. We had stops for snorkeling and swimming as well as to explore a lagoon. Food/ drinks were great.

Clem, Michelle, and Carlos made sure everything was perfect for our full day of activities. Everything was so thoughtful and delicious. My kids (11 and 8) said “it was the best day ever”. Michelle prepared the most delicious spread of food, including cheese and fresh fruit, guacamole, and finally chicken, potatoes, an pizza. Snorkeling we saw some of the most beautiful beaches and sea life. Sunset was stunning. 1000% recommend this trip!

Best catamaran trip ever. We did the morning option and it was truly perfect from start to finish. They welcomed us with fresh juice and took us out on the water while sharing just the right amount of history and information—interesting without talking our heads off. The mixed drinks were so delicious, and we had an amazing snorkeling experience where we even saw sea turtles! After that, they took us to another beach—the ride was incredibly smooth, peaceful, and relaxing. They served us a homemade lunch (pizza with homemade pesto) that was unbelievably good. The playlist was absolutely perfect too—an upbeat house/jazz mix that matched the vibe flawlessly. I can’t recommend this experience enough. They took incredible care of us and created such a thoughtful, memorable day on the water. If you’re considering booking—do it.

We had the most perfect day sailing with Clem and Michelle. Easy pick up from our hotel and then we were immediately spoiled with fresh fruit and incredible drinks. We did some super amazing snorkeling (saw HUGE sea turtles) and explored some very private beaches. The day was so well planned that we were just able to relax and enjoy ourselves. Definitely the best way to explore the peninsula with the best food and service! Would definitely book again.

We loved this private tour so much! Perfect for a couple or maybe two. We got to do a snorkel stop at a private beach. We had a fruit platter, guacamole, & a pizza made on board which were all incredible. Would recommend!!
