Amazing Experience!! - Our family of four adults and a two year old had a fantastic morning cruise on the Brisa Elegante! Our crew was extremely professional and very friendly! Shortly after we departed, we were served a tray of delicious fresh fruits and complimentary drinks. The chef prepared amazing meals for our lunch and checked on us often. We saw several dolphins that were quite entertaining. We stopped for a while and were given the opportunity to go swimming or paddle boarding. We could not have asked for a better experience and highly recommend booking a cruise on the Brisa Elegante!!

Great sunset cruise- beautiful and relaxing - We did the sunset tour. This included cruising, dinner, drinks, snorkeling, swimming, kayaking. The boat is beautiful with plenty of space. We loved the pace of the boat. My teens loved the experience. Snorkeling is not great. If you have been to Hawaii, Costa Rica doesn’t have the beautiful reef on this side of the world or part of the country of Costa Rica. It is a volcano rock, so visibility is not great. We saw dolphins on the cruise out. If you want a laid back & comfortable experience this is it. We sailed past many overloaded party boats with loud music and 50+ people. That is not this experience- which we found more relaxing and beautiful. The food served was one of the best meals we have had!

Really enjoyable day with a great crew and fun fellow passengers - This was a really fun and relaxing day on a lovely sailing vessel and I would definitely recommend it to adults or families with older (teen) kids. The boat is lovely and well-appointed, and the captain and crew are very welcoming and attentive. We saw dolphins and beautiful coastal scenery on our trip, and the spot we stopped to swim was calm and uncrowded. The floating mattress was a nice touch. We really liked the onboard music playlist of reggae and Latin tunes, and the volume was just right - not deafening like some of the party boats can be. The numbers on board kept it from feeling crowded and it was one of the main reasons I chose this particular cruise - crowd size to boat size. The food was fresh and tasty, and it was easy to get drinks as needed. Most of the other passengers were fun and interesting, and we had some very nice conversations with them. I would not recommend this tour for younger kids due mostly to the fact that it's really much more adult-oriented, and I think young kids would be bored. Quite a few of the other passengers got inebriated to a pretty high degree (off-color language and jokes and loud conversations), and that might be upsetting or offensive to some people. It is, however, possible that it was totally a function of the crowd that day, but if that kind of thing would be bothersome, I would recommend checking into a private charter of the boat for your family group. We, however, very much liked the fact that there were no younger children onboard and would heartily suggest the trip for couples or families with older or adult kids. All in all a very fun day on the water. BRING AND WEAR SUNSCREEN!

A great way to spend the afternoon! - I went on the sunset sailing tour on La Brisa Elegante with my 8-year-old daughter recently, and we both agreed it was one of the highlights of our trip. The marina was easy to find, with parking provided, and checking-in was painless. The ship itself is very spacious and attractive, with plenty of room for everyone on-board to move around and try all the available options. There were plenty of crew-members, who were all very friendly and accommodating. They did have smaller-sized life vest and snorkeling mask for my daughter, but unfortunately they were not quite small-enough for her - however we still had a great time playing in the water during the allotted time. The food was very good as well, one of the better meals we had during our trip actually. All in all highly recommended.

The absolute best experience possible - Diego & the rest of the crew went out of their way to ensure we had the most amazing experience. It was so much fun. We went snorkeling, we saw beautiful spotted dolphins, we ate the best dinner - fresh grouper, had excellent fruit drinks (& adult beverages). It was just a really, really good day. We couldn't stop smiling. We may do it again before we leave. ♡♡♡

Highlight of our trip - This sail was the highlight of our trip to Costa Rica. We enjoyed the beautiful ship while watching the view of the coast and Manuel Antonio national park. The snorkeling was very good and we saw lots of fish in the area. The food was excellent as well. Very pleased with our tour.

Sunset Cruise - Wonderful experience. The couple and captains of the boat were very friendly and attentive. Everyone got to order an excellent cocktail of their choice. We sailed for an hour then everyone got to either snorkel, swim kayak and even paddle board. Some people even jumped off the gang plank which was fun. After get back on, dried off and changed they served a beautiful either fish, chicken or vegetarian dinner. Very nice. The. The sunset and some dancing. So much fun.

Ok trip - We were looking forward to the "sailing" trip but were somewhat disappointed for the price we paid, the snorkeling and the group size (it’s advertised as a group of 10 guests but ended up with 20+) We liked the boat, enjoyed the food and cocktails (first cocktail is included in the price) whilst enjoying the music being played. Staff are attentive. Restrooms were clean. We passed by Manuel Antonio National Park from a distance and various small islands. We spotted some birds and watched the sunset. However, don't expect to see dolphins, whales or turtles. Knowing where these animals are and spotting them requires a specific skill and you need to be trained for this…. Sailing is an overstatement as the boat is powered by a large engine and when you sit in the back of the boat you will sit in the fumes. The snorkelling was disappointing. First of all, you have to swim quiet far to the snorkelling spot (and then when you get there eventually, there’s limited fish to see and the visibility of the water is not very clear either, so lower your expectations). The guide said the snorkelling activity is only for strong swimmers and we were rushed last minute to put on the snorkelling gear. You won't have much time as the snorkelling guide will rush you back to the boat for some reason as well. Make sure you bring a hat, t-shirt and lots of sun cream to protect your skin as there's limited shade on the boat and the UV rating in Costa Rica is very high.
