Morning, Sunset or Full-Day Catamaran: Which Why Not Charter Fits?
The best Why Not charter for your group starts with a practical question: how much of your day do you want to spend at sea? Morning, sunset and full-day experiences all offer a private catamaran, captain and crew, a premium open bar and guided snorkeling with equipment. The differences are the hours, the dining and the amount of time available.
Morning: 8:00 AM–12:00 PM
The morning charter gives you four hours aboard and returns by noon. Gourmet breakfast is prepared onboard, making it a natural fit for an early start. Choose this schedule when you want sailing and time in the water while keeping the afternoon free.
It suits groups whose vacation already includes afternoon plans, or anyone who prefers breakfast on the boat to a later meal. Morning does not guarantee calmer seas or better snorkeling visibility; the captain still chooses the route and stops for the conditions.
Sunset: 1:00 PM–6:00 PM
The sunset charter combines five hours on the Pacific with a finish around the evening’s changing light. A gourmet four-course meal and premium open bar are included, along with guided snorkeling, snorkeling equipment and paddleboards.
Choose sunset if an afternoon sailing experience is your priority. It works well for couples and celebrations, but it is also a practical option for friends and families who prefer a later start. The sky and weather are part of the real ocean experience, so a particular sunset color cannot be promised.
Full day: 10:00 AM–6:00 PM
The full-day charter gives you eight hours aboard. It includes light breakfast with fruit and coffee, a gourmet four-course meal, a premium open bar and guided snorkeling at two spots. This is the longest of the three day-charter schedules.
Choose full day when you want the boat trip to be the central experience of the day. There is more time between sailing, water activities, dining and relaxing on deck, rather than fitting the charter around other plans.
What stays the same across the three?
Your charter is private, with the catamaran and crew reserved for your group. The premium open bar includes alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, and snorkeling equipment is provided. Paddleboarding and time to relax onboard are part of the experience.
Departures are available from Tamarindo or Flamingo. Routes and water stops depend on sea and weather conditions, and the captain makes those decisions. Tell the team your preferred departure, accommodation area and any dietary requests when reserving.
Choose by your group’s plans
Start with your available hours. Pick morning to keep the afternoon open, sunset for an afternoon ending on the water, or full day for the most time aboard and two snorkeling spots. Then consider the meal you want: gourmet breakfast in the morning, a four-course meal on sunset, or light breakfast plus four-course dining on the full day.
If your group has different interests, share them before booking. Some guests may want to snorkel while others prefer the deck and drinks. Private sailing allows everyone to enjoy the same outing without needing to participate in every activity.
