Fantastic day with Seabird Crew! - Our return to Guanacaste had to include a return trip on the Seabird. Eric, Captain, and crew were fantastic from the moment we boarded. The boat is comfortable and it was like a dream as we sailed to a spot for snorkeling and swimming. We came back to fresh snacks and of course any drink of our choice. Thank you Eric for hosting a wonderful day.

Unforgettable Experience - The staff were very kind and knowledgeable. Excellent service and attentive. Highly recommend doing this over a catamaran if you have a small group.

We’d Do It Again in a Heartbeat! - Leslea and her crew took great care in making this a beautiful experience! We loved being on the water. While snorkeling, a sea turtle and a puffer fish were spotted. The food was delicious and the sunset unparalleled! We’d do this again in a heartbeat!

A Memorable Afternoon - We went on a private afternoon cruise yesterday and just fell in love with Sea Bird! From the snorkeling and drinks to the sailing and sunset, this classic sailboat and her crew helped create some great memories.
From the time we got on the boat, Captain Valone made us feel at home with his friendly, relaxed demeanor. He explained right away what we would be doing and made us one of the boat's signature cocktails.
We motored out of Coco at a comfortable pace and took in the views of Coco and Playa Hermosa. We passed a tiny island that looked just like a silhouette of a gorilla head, and eventually wound up in an area with a small beach and coral reef. He took us out snorkeling personally and showed us where the coral was, puffer fish, and a stingray!
After that, we had some snacks and the sails went up. It was fun watching the captain and his first mate Melvin work together to hoist the sails. Never having been on a sailboat, we really enjoyed watching the process.
The boat itself is older, but renovations are being made and I anticipate seeing the final results, as we will be back to see her and go sailing again. She's a beauty with great character, and her owner is putting a lot of love into her.
Usually there are dolphins that like to play around the boat, and we enjoyed watching schools of fish leaping out of the water and also the birds on the hunt. We were lucky enough to get some clouds near the sun as it started to set, and we toasted with another signature cocktail, the "Tequila Sunset," as it went down.
Coming back into Coco was beautiful, with the beach all it up with strings of light and the water appearing inky in the dusk.

Highly Recommended - Booked a sunset cruise for a group of 8. It was great to work with the boat owner,
Leslea, to plan a special afternoon/evening that included a marriage proposal.
Crew were very accommodating and made sure we were having a good time. It was really a special evening.
One of our guest unfortunately left a purse on the boat. It was quickly located and Leslea made a special effort to meet us the following morning with the purse.

Great Experience! - Our group of 6 really enjoyed the private afternoon sunset cruise. Captain Andre and his crew member were great - very knowledgeable of the area and made sure we got to explore the area. This was worth the price and would highly recommend!

Seabird sunset Cruise - This was the most relaxing day of our trip. The sunset was beautiful. The beach was great and the crew was outstanding. Captain Andrew was knowledgeable of the area and pointed out sights and gave us interesting information on the area. Sidney took very good care of us and kept the food and drinks coming. This is a cruise I would recommend for everyone!

Seabird Sailing outstanding sunset cruises - Excellent personalized service, communication and performance. Dave and Wendy run a very professional service and went out of their way to make our sunset cruise sail trip special. We cannot say enough good things about the entire crew. Captain and Sidney were extremely friendly and helpful. The fresh fruit and beverages were all wonderful. The Costa Rican coastline and the sunset were breathtaking. Aside from the natural beauty which words can’t fully describe, the friendliness and professionalism of the entire outfit stands out. Can’t say enough good things. Pura vida!

Sunset Sail - Andre, Dave and Wendy were great. Had a nice sunset sail and visit to a local beach with great views from a cliff and a cool cave where the tide rushes in. Red tide made snorkeling not really an option. Lots of drinks, watermelon and pineapple that was awesome. Andre went the extra mile and put my daughter on the helm for a bit. Wendy met us right at the beach and was very helpful with everything we needed to know for the trip.
Thanks for a nice evening!

Afternoon sunset cruise - A little pricey, and the boat definitely needs some TLC, but we did have the whole boat to our party of four, like a private cruise!The local crew were very friendly and helpful. The wind was a bit strong initially so we motored up the bay to a beach, but not good snorkeling, shallow and murky. They need to find a good sheltered rocky snorkeling area. The winds died down approaching sunset and with a little encouragement to the captain, we had a good sail into the sunset on our way back.
We enjoyed the sailing part the best ( the reason we chose this cruise). Overall a good afternoon on the water and some great sunset shots!
