What an amazing day!!!
There were 6 of us on the boat. 2 didn't show, which made it quite comfortable, 8 might have been a bit snug. The boat is very nice, the trip is awesome! We worried it would rain, but it was just overcast. Great snorkeling, great snacks and food, great drinks. The crew couldn't have been nicer! And yes, the clouds did clear for a beautiful sunset! Absolutely super happy that we did it!!! Great for couples. Maybe not bring kids.
Operator response
Glad you had a great day out and rain didn't ruin your day. :) We appreciate you taking the time to write this review. Pura Vida!

Great time on the water!
We booked this cruise due to stellar reviews on TripAdvisor and it did not disappoint! Captain Bismark and his crew were friendly, attentive, professional and clearly dedicated to providing a great experience. We were on a sunset cruise and sailed to a secluded spot where we swam and snorkeled before being served really good chicken tacos and other snacks. We also had drinks provided throughout the cruise which were actually quite good. It wasn't a "booze cruise", just a lot of fun. We met great people and overall had a fantastic time. Highly recommended!
Operator response
Thank you and we are glad we could live up to our reputation. :) Your stellar review will now also help other travelers find us, including Captain Bismark :)

Fantastic boat operator and experience!
We loved our Lucky 13 Sunset Sail! Our group of 5 rated it a 10 out of 10. The crew was fun, safety minded and very hospitable. The boat, food, beverages, crew and music were excellent as was the area they took us for scuba diving. While there we also heard this is the preferred operator with local wedding and event planners. We will definitely book with them again. highly recommend.
Operator response

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.
Operator response
Thank you, Justin, for your lovely review! We're so happy you and your family had such a great time. It means so much to know we were able to provide a safe, fun, and welcoming experience out on the water. We hope to sail with you all again soon! ⛵😊

Small group, peaceful
Definitely worth it. Small group and very peaceful. We went quite a long way along the coast (avoiding storms) and went snorkeling and then later circled around a group of dolphins. The staff was excellent and were super friendly and accommodating. Also the office staff was excellent and fast to respond to questions. 100% happy. My favorite part was just seeing the coastline, cliffs, and forests from a different perspective.

Sunset sail and so much more
From the moment we stepped aboard the sailboat until the moment we returned to the dock, was just an incredible experience. The captain and crew immediately made everyone feel welcome and offered the first beverage as we pulled out for an amazing afternoon on the water. The sail out was pleasant in the afternoon sun, as the small group interacted and enjoyed light conversation and some information about the area. We stopped in a small quite cove area and enjoyed snorkeling and swimming in the amazingly clean clear waters. After roughly an hour and a half of enjoying the water, we were treated with Costa Rican caviar (beans, corn and avocado) and chicken tacos which did not disappoint. A cold cerveza and the gentle rocking of the boat was the perfect way to spend an afternoon. The return trip offered a spectacular sunset at sea which was absolutely breathtaking. It was our final activity of our visit to Costa Rica, but provided a wonderful send off and assured we would return.
Operator response
Thank you so much for such a thoughtful review. We’re honored to have been part of your final day in Costa Rica, and it means so much to hear it was such a memorable experience for you. We’re so happy you enjoyed every part of the afternoon. We’ll be ready to welcome you back whenever you return to Costa Rica!
