Operated by Anna Holala! · Playa Hermosa, Guanacaste
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.
Geology here is volcanic and coastal — black lava flows rise inland into low, eroded ridges and coral-fringed rock points dip beneath shallow reefs. The Guanacaste coast has a history of small fishing villages that gradually opened to tourism; boats still access beaches that are unreachable by road. Expect straightforward Pura Vida hospitality and a homemade lunch that reflects local produce and seafood.
On a typical day you’ll sail 4–5 hours, anchor at a sheltered cove for snorkeling, and keep watch for dolphins that often ride the bow wake. Wind and swell are usually mild in the dry season but can stiffen during the green season; visibility for snorkeling depends on recent rains.
Practical notes: arrive with reef-safe sunscreen, swimwear, and a light layer for wind. If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication before boarding. Bring a refillable bottle — the crew provides lunch, snacks and drinks but minimizing plastic helps the bay. Plan pickups from Playa Hermosa or neighboring towns and confirm timing; private charters are flexible but weather-dependent. Children are welcome and lifejackets are provided for every passenger aboard.
Yes—this private charter welcomes children; lifejackets are provided and the crew briefs guests before snorkeling.
