About This Tour

This is a 6 hour cruise aboard a custom 60ft luxury catamaran, launched in 2018 and designed to host larger parties like weddings, birthdays and special occasions. Her open deck design gives you plenty of spacious gathering areas with both sun and shade, so you can sunbathe on the front or top decks, sink into the marine bean bags, and lay back on the cushions with the ocean breeze while the crew looks after everything.

This is the boat's most popular tour: a cruise out to Las Marietas Islands, a wildlife sanctuary and marine reserve with underwater caves full of marine life. This is where you drop anchor to play, snorkel, paddleboard and cave explore. Watch for the Blue footed Boobies, whose habitat is on these islands and only one other place in the world. From mid December through mid March it is prime season for whale watching, along with dolphins, manta rays and sea turtles.

Onboard you have a state of the art surround sound system, two home style bathrooms for men and women, a fresh water shower, convenient swim steps, two slides, and a dive platform off the second deck. Grab your friends and family, spend the day with a knowledgeable, entertaining crew, and let them pamper you. It is a day you will always remember.
