Had the absolute best time on our half day excursion!! We had our 10 month old with us and he was thriving with all the delicious food. Totally doable with little ones! Cannot recommend this enough. We will talk about it for years to come😭

My wife and I had an amazing day at sea with Clem and his team. We were able to snorkel at a more remote spot and even got to see a small reef shark while walking on the beach. The food and service on board was so fresh with everything made from scratch by Michelle including ceviche that was caught that day and a scratch made pizza! The sunset was one of the best we have ever experienced. We definitely recommend this excursion for anyone looking for a private Costa Rican adventure.

Wanted a private catamaran with our crew instead of sharing a big boat with 20+ people and it was the best decision! Clem and crew were phenomenal and the food was amazing. 10/10 will book again !

I cannot recommend this experience enough. Hosts were incredibly friendly and personable while also giving you your privacy, the boat was comfortable (great shade and views!), food was delicious, drinks were strong and tasty, and the private experience was much more enjoyable than one of the cheaper, big boats that are packed with other people. The private experience gave us flexibility to choose if we wanted to stop at beaches, snorkel, or sail around the coast all at our own pace. We even got to see a sea turtle and dolphins! Book this experience, it is well worth the price.

Clem and Michelle gave us such a wonderful catamaran experience around the Papagayo Peninsula. They graciously shared their boat with us and showed us the beauty of the area by water, which made the whole experience feel very special and personal. We saw manta rays, a sea turtle, and so many colorful fish while snorkeling on the reef, and we ended the trip with one of the most beautiful sunsets we have ever seen. Michelle was incredibly kind and thoughtful. She made us lovely drinks and served us a completely homemade pizza with fresh homemade crust, pesto sauce, and fresh tomatoes, steaming hot and brought right to the front of the catamaran. It was such a special touch and absolutely delicious. Clem and Michelle were both so kind, caring, and welcoming throughout the entire experience. Jose, who drove the dinghy, was also fantastic. He shared information about the area and made the trip even more enjoyable. This was a truly memorable experience, and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Papagayo Peninsula

We are a family of 4, including two teenagers. We opted for the less corporate experience and weren't looking for the big party boat atmosphere, and we couldn't be more grateful for our choice. Clem, Michelle and Jose made us feel at ease and it felt as though we'd been invited out for a sail with friends. The weather was windy which impacted the snorkeling but that allowed us to focus on simply enjoying the voyage, vistas and occasional manta ray fin sightings, and of course the magnificent sunset. In a trip full of highlight memories, this was among the top for our family. And the food was absolutely delicious! There is a reason their worst rating is 5 stars.

We had the best time! Michelle, Koka and El Capitan were truly amazing hosts. We had 5 kids(8-14) and 5 adults and felt so at home. Michelle cooked some of the most amazing food(I read this in other reviews and was part of the deciding factor for booking) and truly their pizzas are AMAZING! Their tacos were also delicious, everything we ate was so good and this isn’t even a food based cruise(we ate it so quick I couldn’t even get a photo). On to the cruise-we all snorkeled and swam with turtles(!!) & were able to see a wide variety of fish. Koka even took the dingy to shore so the younger kids could start their snorkel from the shore vs jumping off the boat. It was so nice to have our own boat/space vs the other tours that were crammed with people. Again, this was just a perfect experience.

My wife and another couple booked an afternoon sunset cruise. It was relaxing, comfortable and also very informative. The captain was extremely knowledgeable about Costs Rica, the habitat, the natural parks and was eager to share that information. He and the boat owner and his partner were extremely gracious and a joy to be around. They served an amazing guacamole topped with diced mangos that was AMAZING. The snorkeling we did was hampered by turbulent waters earlier in the day that left the water turbid, but no fault of the crew. They quickly pivoted and continued to make the cruise well worth it. I would highly recommend them and if we make it down to Costa Rica in the future would book with them again!

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.
