Description

Watch dolphins dance in the waves, snorkel with sea turtles in crystal-clear waters, and discover a white sand beach only accessible by boat so breathtaking it feels untouched by time. Sip fresh tropical drinks, relax under the sun, and let the sea set you free. We offer two daily departures: Morning tour: 9:00 am – 1:00 pm Afternoon tour: 2:00 pm – 5:30 pm If you’re searching for something beyond the ordinary—more exclusive, more unforgettable, more you—this is it.

Wonderful sunset catamaran tour

What a wonderful experience on the private catamaran sunset tour. Went with 5 friends on the last day of our trip. The staff were so welcoming and thoughtful. Fresh fruit cut up on a private beach halfway through. We are thankful for this experience! Highly recommend!

Comfort and kindness

. The 2 guys who were looking after the catamaran were very friendly and kind. The boat was comfortable and well managed by Charlie. Nathan accompanied us to go fish watching. He was a great help to one of us who was a little less comfortable to make the outing a good time for everyone. We really enjoyed the snack on the beach.

Operator response

Merci beaucoup pour votre aimable commentaire ! Nous sommes ravis d’apprendre que vous avez apprécié le confort du bateau ainsi que l’expérience dans son ensemble. Charlie et Nathan seront heureux de savoir que leurs efforts ont fait la différence, en veillant notamment à ce que tout le monde se sente à l’aise et passe un excellent moment dans l’eau. Nous vous remercions sincèrement de nous avoir choisis et espérons avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau bientôt 😊

Worth the money if you are not snooty.

NOT the same catamaran as the pictures. JP the guide was amazing as well as the captain. I am glad we did not go on an ultra-touristy trip for this excursion. Take aways: 1. Not a gourmet meal provided but great snacks. 2. Bring sunscreen or you will get burnt. 3. Felt personal, like we rented our own (older) catamaran sans working sail. 4. Felt safe and well respected as tourists. 5. Private beach tour 6. Bring your own gear for snorkeling if that is important to you. The provided gear was B grade quality and was difficult to use. 7. worth every damn dime

Operator response

Thank you for your honest review, we really appreciate the feedback! We’re happy to hear JP and the captain made you feel safe and well taken care of and that you enjoyed the more personal non-touristy experience. That’s exactly what we aim for. We also appreciate your notes on the boat, snorkeling gear, and food, as they help us continue improving. Glad to hear it was worth it overall, we’d love to have you back again!

SCAM! Do not book

DO not book!!! This is a scam. Took our money and did not show on the day of the tour today and will not answer any messages. I will be contacting my credit card company to fight the payment.

Operator response

We’re very sorry for the inconvenience you experienced. However we would like to clarify that this was not a scam. Due to a synchronization issue with the viator booking platform, your reservation did not update correctly in our system. As a result, we were already operating another tour at the scheduled time and were unable to accommodate your booking. As soon as the issue was identified, your tour was canceled and a full refund was issued for 100% of the amount paid. We understand how frustrating this situation must have been especially with the lack of timely communication and we sincerely apologize for that. We are actively working with the platform to ensure this does not happen again. We take our reputation and our guests experiences very seriously and we would never intentionally fail to provide a service without issuing a full refund.

Fun day on the water

We weren’t aware when we booked this (4 people) but we were the only ones on the trip as the boat is small - so we had our own private excursion! Charlie and JP were great hosts. This tour moves at a nice slow pace. There were good tunes on the boat (or you could connect your phone and play your own tunes). There were two seat benches with shade cover, a place at the front with bean bag chairs in the full sun and two netted areas at the very front a person could sit in and get an occasional splash from the water. After about 40 minutes of trolling (we didn’t catch anything) we stopped to snorkel. Unfortunately the waters were not crystal clear and we really only saw a small snake and a school of golden trevally. I’m not sure if it was an issue with the tides or the location, but we weren’t concerned as we had already been snorkeling in Uvita. After the snorkeling, we stopped at the private beach and snacked on watermelon and pineapple. We spent just over an hour at the beach which had nice calm waters. When you go from the boat to the beach, there are lots of rocks - wear some good water shoes. The rocks are only for a brief space before you hit the sand. After that it was back on the boat to go home. Plantain chips and salsa were enjoyed by all and there was water, juice and beer available for everyone throughout the trip. This is not one of those large party boats so if you’re looking for a nice quiet and relaxing morning (we did the 9 am departure), this tour might be for you. If your goal is snorkeling, this might not be for you. We all enjoyed the day on the water. Note: when you arrive at the meeting point, there is no obvious sign that you’re in the right place. Just stay put because someone from the tour company will come and find you.

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review! We’re really glad you enjoyed the private, relaxed nature of the trip and that Charlie and JP helped make it a great experience that’s exactly the kind of atmosphere we aim to create. We also appreciate your helpful notes about the beach access and meeting point. Regarding the snorkeling conditions can vary depending on the weather, strong swells or heavy rain can affect water clarity and visibility which is sometimes out of our control. Thanks again for choosing us and we’d love to have you back for another fun day on the water!

Great experience on Henry & Charlie's Catamaran Tour

Had an awesome time with our guides Henry & Charlie! It was a great & private experience. The boat was nice, loaded with drinks & fresh fruit. The snorkelling was great, and the stop at Playa Fantasia was incredible! Would absolutely do this again
