Awesome crew! - Great cruise exactly as advertised. I wouldn't go if you are looking for anything other than a beautiful cruise and sunset😁

Awesome Crew - The crew & the Costa Rican food were amazing. Had a great experience on the boat & they timed it so we could be aboard for the sunset. We had an impromptu dance party. I don’t drink, but the cocktails flowed & there was plenty of ice & water & nonalcoholic beverages. The boat is very comfortable for the 25 or so guests aboard. The crew is extremely friendly & very professional. You’ll want to tip these guys generously.

Wonderful trip - We had a great trip! We loved the double front hammocks and the boat was very nice with lots of seating options. The staff made the trip an exceptional experience making sure we were comfortable. Francisco was amazing. He helped my daughter who felt a little sea sick and he was our snorkeling guide helping us find amazing places to see marine life. He even taught my daughter how to dive down and she was able to see star fish, a puffer fish, an octopus among several other amazing sights. We even drove right next to a sea turtle on our return. Really pleased with our experience.

Catamaran and adult drinks for the win - Great catamaran trip. There was about 20 people on the boat. The catamaran is anchored offshore shore and we were taken out to it by boat. Transfers between boats was good. Adult beverages were good and there was even lunch served (chicken, rice, tortillas, slaw, some veggies, fresh fruit,banana bread, and there was chips and bean dip as snacks). Conditions were not good for snorkeling the day i went but they had kayaks, paddleboard, pool noodles, and life vests for those that aren't strong swimmers. For strong swimmers, there was a beach you could go to. The crew was amazing and fun.

Very nice! - Very fun and relaxing trip. Crew was great! Amazing sunset timed precisely upon our return. Food and drinks were good. You might want to keep your cell phone in a waterproof carrier.

Consistently great excursion! - We’ve used Blue Dolphin a few times in our past visits and have always had great experiences, and this one was no different. The crew always so fun, kind, and attentive went out of their way to make sure we were having a great time. Thank you Daniel and staff! We had a wonderful time on the beautiful CR seas with you.

Not private or luxury or Sunset - Make sure to read through reviews. This was advertised as private and luxury which it definitely was not. It is advertised as a sunsent cruise but we were back to the beach prior to sunset happening. The catamaran itself is not a luxury vessil. It is one of the smallest catamarans I've been on with a small net area. We did not snorkel or use kayak because the area we docked was not conducive for those activities. The staff was very nice but this cruise is focused more on drinking and should be advertised as a fun booze cruise type tour.

I would not recommend this tour - First I want to start off that if you are wanting a quiet, romantic boat ride, DO NOT book this tour. This boat ride is more for young adults who want to party and have a good time. The staff crammed to many people in the boat and do not plan accordingly. They put 40 plus individuals on a catamaran that should have had 25 people max. The crew was nice and the food was good. I felt like they stuffed as many people into the boat just to make money for themselves. When we were getting off of the boat and coming to shore, they stuffed half of us on a small dinghy which almost tipped multiples times on the way back. The staff do not put the safety of their guests first. Their boating skills were subpar, and that is coming from someone who grew up and was raised in the sailing and boating world.
I would personally not recommend this company and I would go with another company that cares about their guests.
