All-Inclusive Catamaran Sunset Cruise, Costa Rica
Treat yourself to the definitive catamaran experience — a premier, all-inclusive sunset cruise from Flamingo Marina. You'll have the best seats in the house as the colors of a Costa Rican sunset melt over the Pacific, exploring secluded beaches and hidden snorkeling spots around the famous Catalinas Islands along the way.
About Your Catamaran Sunset Cruise
Your journey aboard the Panache catamaran is built for maximum relaxation and stunning views along the Guanacaste coastline. The cruise departs from Flamingo Marina and sails the Pacific coast toward the Catalinas Islands, timed so you're on the water for the best light of the day.
Along the way, keep an eye out for the marine life these waters are known for — dolphins, rays, sea turtles, tropical fish, and, in season, whales. When you reach a sheltered cove, there's time to snorkel, kayak, or simply relax on deck with a drink in hand. A professional, friendly crew handles everything, so your only job is to soak it in.
The cruise culminates in the moment everyone comes for: the sun dipping below the Pacific horizon in a wash of color — the best seat in the house for a Costa Rican sunset, and an unforgettable way to close the day. On the nights you're ashore, here's where and when to watch the sunset in Playa Potrero.

What to Expect on Your All-Inclusive Catamaran Cruise
What's Included on Your Catamaran Sunset Cruise
- Unlimited Water Activities: While anchored in a secluded cove, you're free to sail, snorkel, and kayak with all equipment and guidance provided. The crew helps first-timers get comfortable and points you toward the best spots to see reef fish and marine life in the calm, clear water away from the crowds.
- All-Inclusive Food & Open Bar: Comfort and refreshments are covered from the moment you step aboard. Morning cruises include a freshly prepared lunch, while the sunset cruise features a full spread of snacks — and both come with a premium open bar of liquors, local beers, soft drinks, and specialty cocktails poured throughout the day.
- The Ultimate Sunset & Wildlife: This cruise is built around the best views on the Pacific coast. You'll have the front-row vantage point to watch the sun melt into the ocean off Guanacaste, and along the way keep an eye out for dolphins, rays, sea turtles, tropical fish, and — in season — whales.
- Complimentary Round-Trip Transportation: We handle the logistics so your day is completely hassle-free, with round-trip transport included from Playa Tamarindo, Potrero, Flamingo, and Brasilito to the Flamingo Marina.
Preparing for Your Catamaran Sunset Cruise
- Sun Protection Essentials: The tropical Guanacaste sun is intense out on open water. Bring a wide-brimmed hat, high-quality polarized sunglasses, and lotion-based sunscreen only — spray sunscreens leave a slippery, dangerous residue on the deck.
- Swimwear & Comfort: Wear your swimsuit under your clothes so you're ready to jump in, and bring a towel for drying off after snorkeling and swimming. Light, comfortable clothing is best for a day on the water.
- Camera: Bring a camera or phone to capture the coastline, the wildlife, and the spectacular Pacific sunset — the photo opportunities on this cruise are hard to beat.
- A Sense of Adventure: You'll want it for the snorkeling, kayaking, and wildlife spotting that make this more than just a boat ride.
