Private Catamaran at Golden Hour

The Guanacaste coastline seen the way it actually sits: from the water.

01

The idea

The bays only make sense from offshore — one after another, each with its own light. Late afternoon is when the wind drops and the coast turns the colour people remember.

02

What makes it different

  • Private use of the boat
  • Timed to the last two hours of light
03

What to expect

  • Three hours or so
  • Swimming stop in a sheltered bay
  • Sea conditions decide the route
