Perfect boat day
Half day snorkeling PM on April 25, 20264 adults

We had the best day on the water with our captain, Bismark. We were pretty low-key and didn't really care where we went or what we did--just wanted to enjoy some time on a boat. What we got--beach visits, a little snorkeling, delicious--I mean delicious, guacamole made on the boat, swim time, ice cold beer, fresh pineapple, and even caught a fish when heading back to shore. We also had a perfect sunny day with calm seas so really couldn't have had a better experience. Highly recommend and just let the day unfold as it may...

Great time snorkeling
4 Hour – Snorkeling Adventure on December 24, 20254 adults

We try to go snorkeling every place we can and even though many said the snorkeling in Tamarindo was not very good we had a great time. Sailfish arrived right on schedule and at our first stop we saw tons of fish and while there is no beautiful coral we still had fun and I enjoyed the fact that the area was shallow allowing us the get up close. The wind really picked up which is typical in December so we moved to a nice protected cove where I saw a huge sea turtle and at one point was surrounded by a school of at least 300 fish about 3 feet long. Overall we had a great time and I would highly recommend booking a private tour vs getting on a boat with 20 - 50 other people for roughly the same price.

Great Haul Great Time
Combined snorkel and fishing trip on April 27, 20264 adults

Bismark and Gabriel were fantastic. They took great care of us and they kept at it until we landed a jackpot of fish. We even snagged a mahi on the way back in for good measure! Couldn’t have had a better time.
