Great Catamaran & Crew!

Our trip with Marlin del Rey was wonderful. We did a morning catamaran with our company (Krain Costa Rica). Every member of the crew was happy and kind, and they took pride and joy in serving us onboard. The minute you get onboard, you hear the fun music and are served drinks (at 9 amâŠso many options!). We were told it was not just about getting to our destination, but also about what we will see on the way. We had dolphin sightings, and they ensured that we stayed nearby the pod for a bit to watch. We thought we were going out to find an excellent spot to snorkel, but they also had SUPs and kayaks we could use when we got to our remote destination. One of the crew took us out snorkeling and we saw many tropical fish. When we got back on board, lunch was ready for us. If you are searching for a great catamaran trip, book Marlin del Rey!
A great way to celebrate your 65th birthday

We had a private catamaran to celebrate my husband's 65th birthday and everyone had a fabulous time, We would highly recommend Marlin del Rey Sailing Tours to anyone visiting the Tamarindo area!
Fun atmosphere, good value, but look elsewhere for decent snorkeling.

The staff was nice, the boat was fine, the food and drinks were all good; but big catamaran tours are not the best option really for anything except meeting strangers. We were looking for some beautiful scenery, snorkeling, and a fun atmosphere. This Marlin del Rey tour delivered on some fronts, but fell short on others. Overall, this was really a 3-star experience for me, but giving it 4 since if you're looking at catamaran tours, this is a good one.
First the good. While not billed as a booze cruise, drinks were good, and the staff wasn't stingy with them. The food was also good and plentiful. Nothing special, but a bit better than what you'd expect for a tour like this. Nice views of the coastline and the guests were all friendly. Highlight was the pod of dolphins swimming in front of the boat for about 10 minutes.
On the downside, the snorkeling was terrible. We spent two hours heading north along the coast looking for a cove that didn't have red tide or other tours jockeying for a spot to drop anchor. We ended up in Brasilito Bay, which is about where we left from on a small snorkeling trip we took with Life Is Better At Sea (which was awesome). Because the catamaran is so large, it can't get you close to the good snorkeling along the shore and in the tide pools, and because there are so many people, if the spot isn't any good it's a major production to get everyone back in the boat to find another spot. It was a work-out getting from the boat to the shore, where there was nothing to see. So, total bust on the snorkeling front.
Overall, the price was fair and we had a good time, but I'd recommend you figure out what it is you are really looking for before booking this (or similar) tours. If you want a slow cruise to nowhere along the Guanacaste coastline, a party atmosphere with decent drinks and food, and a chance to swim around in the ocean for an hour, this is a good call. If you want great snorkeling or to spend time with a small group of family and friends, recommend your find a smaller boat with more personal service and a captain that knows the best snorkeling spots.

Amazing other than the snorkeling
matthewfK7904HZ, 19-06-2022
The caramaran, crew, and food was awesome. The whole sunset experience was great⊠except the snorkeling. At least on the day we went (and I understand itâs quite dependent on the weather conditions, though it was sunny and not too stormy for us), the original reef they wanted to take us was going to be too wavy, so we went to a calmer bay. This was overrun with lots of other snorkelers, and there wasnât any reef. Just rocks on the bottom of the ocean, all we saw was sea urchins and the occasional fish. The water was so cloudy that you could only see ~2ft in front of you, and to see anything you had to dive about 8ft down. Wish we had some clear water and a less crowded âreefâ since we paid for a snorkel catamaran.
