Excellent experience for...

Excellent experience for families! The crew was very friendly and did a great job with drinks and lunch. The snorkel guide was great at pointing out different sea life and while anchored the kids were able to jump off of the boat and swim around. The guides set out fishing lines while we headed to the stop to watch the sunset but we didn't catch anything. There is plenty of parking at the marina and the lot is secured with a security guard. Overall an excellent experience that I would recommend.

Unforgettable Private Boat Tour!

What a great, personalized experience. We went with a group of two families, and the other family had never been on a boat. Eddy and Rodrigo were so accommodating and friendly. We made unforgettable memories. They had everything we needed on the boat, including GREAT bar drinks and fresh food prepared by Rodrigo. Simply amazing. Sunset was one of the best we've ever seen. Would definitely recommend booking this private tour!

Amazing trip!

Awesome afternoon / sunset cruise! Can’t say enough about the hospitality, service and communication of the crew. BBQ lunch at the private beach was delicious and we enjoyed swimming and banana boat ride. Catamaran was comfortable and well maintained. Exceeded our expectations!

I’ll be back

This was an absolute amazing experience we left for the catamaran at 8:30 and returned around 1:30. A group of about 15 of us got to experience the beautiful island of playa fantasia to ourselves! They made us cocktails and lunch which were absolutely delicious and was included with the purchase of our tickets. We got to snorkel , banana boat, and relax on the island. I would definitely comeback to do this again. The staff were super kind and made the experience amazing!!

Great experience, worth the price

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.

The absolute best day of the holiday. It was a treat for my birthday and did not dissapoint!

Check in was well organised. Parking free nearby. An incredible sailing ship. The best cocktail of the holiday included and was so large that it lasted us for the trip! You could buy extras tho. Fabulous trip out to sea - we saw a trutle swimming by and dolphins passing nearby. Lunch was fabulous - so tasty - choice of chicken, fish or veggie. Chance to swim/snorkel and jump off a very high diving platform for those brave enough. Kit provided - noodles to float around on, snorkel gear etc. Very relaxed atmosphere. Definitely not a booze cruise. One young couple, but most people were middle aged. We came away feeling very chilled/ We would thoroughly recommend this trip.

Great for families, groups, couples, and solo!

Definitely worth the price. I booked this for two, then found out an hour before the departure time that my boyfriend cheated on me. I broke up with him and went on the boat tour as planned-- it was awesome all by myself! There were probably about 50 people on board, but it felt decently spacious. There are seating options on deck, but also inside if you want to stay out of the sun. We sailed pretty far out from Coco Beach to a smaller beach on a little island. This took about an hour and a half. Then we had the option of taking the dingy to shore or snorkeling. I snorkeled for a bit, but then hung out on the shore for the rest of the time. The open bar is fantastic, the staff were super personable and attentive always asking if they could get you a new beverage. We had a great meal as well!! I would definitely do this experience again as it was beautiful, relaxing, and stress-free; just what I needed.

Incredible sunset from the water

Wonderful catamaran cruise and great snorkeling! The boat was big and even though there were a number of people on the cruise, it didn't feel crowded. The snorkeling was fantastic and we got to see a lot fish! The sunset was absolutely stunning! Definitely worth the money and a great experience.
