Beautiful day out on the water. Met new friends, everyone on board was friendly and happy. Crew was amazing. The meal on the catamaran was lovely and the sunset breathtaking. We loved everything about this excursion. I highly recommend it.

The best booze cruise!

Jonathan_N, Apr 2024

The perfect booze cruise! We had a blast. Food was great and the sunset stunning. 10/10 would highly recommend.

Beautiful experience

Kristen_R, Apr 2024

Great experience! The staff was organized and kept everything moving! We saw lots of dolphins but didn’t have luck with the snorkeling as the wind made the water foggy. Lots of lovely drinks and a great way to see the coast line. Can’t beat those sunsets! Our only complaint is that there were several VERY young kids on board who screamed the whole time and held us up. Wish 3 and under were not allowed as it would have made a much better experience for us all.

Better than expected!

Donna_G, Apr 2024

Great snorkeling, great lunch, great captain and crew, beautiful sunset! Not just a booze cruise ………………

Family sibling trip 2024

Thomas_B, Apr 2024

The tour was great but found that diving off the boat into the water was not a good idea for my wife, she dove and dislocated her shoulder with fracture and we had to get a tender to pick us up and get her to a Costa Rica Clinic. Thanks to all the staff and crew it was vary organized and they all took care of her, were now home and she is getting surgery today to repair her injury. I would recommend this tour, just be aware odd things happen on vacations and you should get the travel insurance as we did to help with the un expected.

Great Sunset Cruise and Swim

William_S, Apr 2024

Professional, safe and fun experience. Lots of room on the boat for sitting, sunbathing or shade. Would definitely return to use again.

Beautiful Sunset Sail

Atyria_C, Mar 2024

I always love boating and wanted to share the experience with my nephews aged 6 and 13. They loved it too! My youngest nephew was in awe about everything. I wish we could have seen a better sunset but the trip was fun, the snorkeling was cool and the food was good.

Excellent excursion.

Alain_G, Mar 2024

We enjoyed the Marlin del Rey Catamaran Snorkel Sunset Cruise! The service and food were top notch! Highly recommend for singles, couples, and/or family - great experience for all ages.

Fun ride and great snorkeling.

Tanya_L, Mar 2024

Easy to coordinate. We were picked up on the beach near El Chiringuito. They opened the bar while we waited for the rest of the group to arrive. The crew were all very friendly. The ride was comfortable with enjoyable music playing throughout. When we arrived at the snorkeling spot we were given guidance on where to swim and snorkel. The snorkeling was great, my son and I saw a wonderful diversity of fish and even an octopus! After the allotted time in the water, we were provided with a lunch of roasted chicken, rice and beans, assortment of fresh fruit and snack foods. On the ride back we had a beautiful view of the sunset over the ocean and full moon over Tarmindo. Excellent trip, would happily do it again.

Snorkeling Sunset

Jennifer_G, Mar 2024

The snorkeling was great, so so many fish. The crew was super friendly and the sunset at the end of the cruise was perfect.

Great Cruise

Carol_E, Mar 2024

The whole cruise was wonderful. They were very helpful to me (81 yrs. Old) getting on and off and using the ladder into the water.

A delightful and perfect afternoon on the Pacific

Thomas_M, Mar 2024

The last half hour and the sunset.Capt David and his crew were extremely attentive and courteous, ready to help if needed.

Great trip

Nadine_H, Mar 2024

Fantastic crew. Great trip. We did not have a full boat so were lucky enough to have a bit more space to spread out. Water was fantastic and had plenty of time . Safety was emphasized. Would recommend and do again.

Really fun day!

Linda_L, Mar 2024

Really fun day. Didn't see any dolphins or turtles, but loved jumping in the water and floating around. Not much to see snorkeling. Staff was wonderful, always waiting on you and the food was surprisingly good and more than we thought.

Great on water experience

Jamie_R, Mar 2024

Wonderful time. It was quite the party aboard and we snorkeled and saw lots of fish and eels. Great to escape and get into the water

Sunset Cruise

Petra_S, Mar 2024

Beautiful views

Rhea_B, Mar 2024

Beautiful sunset cruise along the bays! A little crowded for our taste, but for the price we kind of expected as much. Guides were very kind and helpful.

A very customer oriented...

Jeffrey_G, Mar 2024

A very customer oriented staff, energetic crew, good food, tremendous hospitality, highly recommend. The snorkeling was underwhelming and expected more..

Seamless

Karen_M, Mar 2024

Great time had by all! Seamless experience. We got some gorgeous pictures. We went snorkeling and swam to a a private beach. The crew made a decent lunch and the drinks were a plenty! We booked this boat specifically because of the stairs to exit water.

Still had great time!

almorrissey, Feb 2024

Weather was great, Food was good, drinks were terrific! But we never sailed, something was broken and needed to be fixed. Still had a great time!
