Full-Day Private Catamaran in Tamarindo & Flamingo: How to Plan
The full-day private catamaran charter is the option for groups who want to make the ocean the main event of their day. From 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Why Not combines coastal sailing, two guided snorkeling stops, gourmet dining and a premium open bar aboard a 61-foot private catamaran.
What eight hours aboard changes
A full day gives you more time to enjoy the boat between activities. You can settle into the sailing, spend time in the water, sit down for a meal and return to the deck without fitting everything into a shorter morning charter. The catamaran and crew are exclusively for your group.
The hours are fixed, while the route is shaped by conditions. Share your priorities with the crew, whether that means snorkeling, paddleboarding or simply spending time together. The captain chooses the route and stops according to sea and weather conditions; an exact bay or beach should not be treated as guaranteed.
Light breakfast, gourmet dining and drinks
The day includes a light breakfast with fruit and coffee, followed by a gourmet four-course meal prepared onboard. Dining is part of the charter rather than an extra stop you have to organize on shore. The boat’s kitchen allows the chef to prepare and serve food during the experience.
A premium open bar with alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks is included throughout the trip. Coordinate the menu and any dietary requests with the chef in advance. This keeps the food suited to your group without promising a fixed dish before the menu has been arranged.
Guided snorkeling at two spots
The full-day charter includes guided snorkeling at two locations, with all snorkeling equipment provided. Paddleboards, swimming noodles and fishing equipment are also onboard. The additional time gives your group more opportunities to enjoy the water and take breaks between activities.
Snorkeling visibility and the water conditions vary. Follow the crew’s guidance about where and when to enter the water. Guests who prefer to stay dry can enjoy the deck and the coastline, so the day does not require every person to take part in the same activity.
Choosing your departure and preparing your group
Departures are available from Tamarindo or Flamingo. Send your accommodation area and preferred departure with your date and group size; follow the meeting instructions sent with the reservation. Avoid arranging your day around an assumed boarding point.
For an eight-hour trip, bring swimwear, a towel, comfortable clothing, sun protection and a dry bag for personal items. Keep the bag compact and tell the crew about any practical requirements before boarding. A private charter works best when the team understands your group’s priorities before the day begins.
Is the full day the right fit?
Choose this experience when you want the longest of the three day-charter schedules and a day built around sailing, dining and water activities. It suits groups marking a celebration as well as travelers who simply want an unhurried day together.
If you prefer to return by noon, the morning charter runs from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM and includes gourmet breakfast. If the afternoon and sunset are your priority, the sunset charter runs from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
