Your crew will then set sail through the calm bays along Playas del Coco. If you’re lucky, you may even be able to spot dolphins, turtles, flying fish, or even whales who are occasional visitors to these shore. Bird lovers will not be disappointed as you will spot many of the sea birds that frequent Costa Rica. Be sure to take full advantage of the New Marlin’s open bar along the way.

Upon arriving at a secluded bay, the crew will drop anchor and lower the stairs so you can enjoy the calm coastal waters and swim or snorkel in the bay. You may even want to swim ashore and explore the deserted white sand beach. After some fun in the sun, your crew will serve a delicious meal of BBQ chicken, rice, a variety of fruit, chips, bean puree, pico de gallo, and even homemade chocolate chip cookies. There are also plenty of beverages available throughout the journey with an extensive open bar of wine, beer, liquor, and soft drinks.
