Wonderful afternoon . The boat was comfortable and the slide was great fun. Friendly crew and life jackets and snorkeling equipment provided
Perfect little dose of the sea. For a catamaran trip with a chance to swim and snorkel it was perfect. The option to get of at either port to have a walk around the shops meant we didn’t have to return to where we had boarded so could have a look around another area, grab lunch and walk back to our hotel from there. The company was great in swapping our PM sail to a AM one, the morning of so we would get back in better time for our airport transfer.
Very nice, I recommend it for families with children.
Muchas gracias por compartir su experiencia. Nos alegra saber que disfrutaron de la excursión y que la recomendarían especialmente para familias con niños. ¡Esperamos volver a recibirles a bordo en otra ocasión!
I’m not a great boat person but my husband has been looking to go for last couple of visits. We did the quick water bus from Playa Blanca to Rubicon Marina last week and it was great so thought we’d do this. It was amazing! I’m so glad we did it. We were out for just under 2.5 hours which included pick up and drop offs at the marina and then off to Papagayo. There was a load of time for jumping off the side of the boat, a lot higher than it looked, but once I’d done it once I was in and out. The slide was also great but the best thing was the snorkelling (we took our own) and the huge amount of fish we saw. The crew were feeding them which meant there was loads to see the entire time we were there. The boat wasn’t overly full which meant that there was no queuing for anything and the atmosphere was really lovely. A great mix of kids and adults. There was also a bar for drinks and snacks if you wanted to use it. Finally the staff were great! Would highly recommend this trip to anyone, young or old, as it was really great value for money and we will definitely do it again on our trip next summer.
Thank you so much for such a wonderful and detailed review. We’re especially pleased to hear that you enjoyed the experience even though you’re not usually a big fan of boats! It sounds like you really made the most of the swimming, slide and snorkelling, and we’re delighted that you got to see so many fish. It’s also great to hear that you found the atmosphere relaxed and that the boat wasn’t too busy, allowing you to enjoy everything without queuing. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to our crew. We really appreciate the recommendation and it means a lot to know that you’re already planning to join us again next summer. We look forward to welcoming you both back!

This was easily one of the best day trips we've done as a family of four. Our two boys aged 8 and 13 absolutely loved it. Jumping off the boat into the sea at the snorkelling point and going down the slide over and over again filled my youngest with joy. The bar had draught beers and plenty of rum and cokes for the adults. And the boat speciality - a colourful Marine blue cocktail was an instant hit. The guys running the boat were superb hosts. They made the experience very friendly and enjoyable. Everything ran very smoothly. Thanks Diego and Sergio and the rest of the team...Great job.🙏🏻😊
