Excellent Sailing charter. From the beginning of approaching the company, the service was outstanding. We went through several options of sailboats and catamarans in order to find the perfect boat for our group, and the advice received was great. The tour was equally outstanding. The service from Luis was amazing, dedicated all the way. We also received some delicious menu items, beyond what was actually offered. Thanks for showing us the real Guanacaste.

We booked the afternoon tour because we wanted to see the sunset. After 2 hours of sailing, BLAM, rain, not a heavy rain, but hey, you can't control the weather today. Even so, with everything and rain it was a very fun tour. And as planned, at the end of the tour, it stopped raining and we could see the wonderful colors of these incredible sunsets as we sailed towards the hotel.

Great day trip, awesome food. The full day trip to Playa Guacascolito was just perfect. Food was superb, fresh fish. Loved the fact that it was really very secluded, we were not used to that but that was an experience beyond what we have ever had before. Just us, nature and service.
