Private whale tour 53f luxury yacht Sunset morning , Manuel Antonio-Quepos
Our boat rental experience was really positive. The boat was clean and well-kept, and the crew was easy to find at the pier. They even provided supplies for cutting our cake, which was thoughtful. There were drinks, chips, and dip on board, which added a nice touch. Overall, everything was smooth and well-organized. I’d definitely recommend them for a reliable and enjoyable day on the water.

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.

''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.
