The catamaran slips out of Tamarindo harbor as morning light reaches the surf; the Pacific breathes against the hull and the crew unfurls the day's plan. Guests board to a welcome drink, the engine's rhythm easing into a quiet sail that opens to golden beaches, hidden coves and reef-strewn shallows where the water dares you to dive in.
