Morning light slices across the bay as Anna’s twin hulls cut a clean path through Guanacaste’s warm water. You step aboard a 34‑foot catamaran owned by Michelle and Clem, a Mexican–French crew who run private day charters from Playa Hermosa. The boat settles into a steady rhythm; sails fill, cocktails are mixed, and the coastline loosens into a series of small headlands and sand pockets that make up Culebra Bay.

Hydrate and bring a refillable bottle
The crew provides drinks, but Costa Rica’s sun and wind dehydrate quickly—use a reusable bottle to avoid single-use plastic.
Protect against sun and spray
Reef-safe sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat are essential for the open deck; a light wind layer helps when sailing.
Manage seasickness proactively
If you’re prone to motion sickness, take medication 30–60 minutes before departure and choose a mid-boat seat.
Respect wildlife viewing etiquette
Keep distance from dolphins and turtles and avoid feeding wildlife to reduce stress on local populations.
