Why Not Oceanic Experience- Luxury Fountaine Pajot 61 feet in Flamingo
The tour was great. The crew members were hospitable and personable, and the Chef was excellent. She was able to create delicious dishes catering to everyones dietary needs and preferences. We were provided with good informstion about the area as we cruised. We were given plenty of time for water activites, relaxing, and whatever else the party felt like doing. The condition of the yacht was excellent, indicating the crew takes great care of the vessel. It was very clean and comfortable.

Full day of fun Tortuga Island in Jacó, Costa Rica
Our captain, Eric, was very professional, knowledgeable, and kind. We had a great trip to Tortuga island that included snorkeling, lunch, and whale watching. Would definitely recommend.

''Lupo Blu'' Motor Yacht Charter in Playa Flamingo, Costa Rica
The Lupa Blue was phenomenal! My friends and I weathered the storm (literally) and turned up to music, vibes, and flowing drinks from the Lupa Blue crew. Captain Byron and his crew mates Chris and David made sure the experience was 10/10 and they did not disappoint! Would 100000% recommend.

Why Not Oceanic Experience- Luxury Fountaine Pajot 61 feet in Flamingo
A wonderful boat! Unfortunately, the day we did our sunset cruise, we were caught in rain for the first half of the time. However, the team did all the could to help make it a wonderful experience. The second half of our time on the boat was met with some clear skies and so many dolphins! Our dolphin sighting really made the trip, it was so peaceful watching them pass by our boat. Thereafter, we were lucky enough to still catch a sunset! Would definitely like to ride with this team again when we're back in costa rica!
