We set sail at about 3 in the afternoon on a classic yacht with a teakwood deck. The cruise sailed around the coast of the Manuel Antonio National Park. As the boat glided over the water we were treated with the company of dolphins swimming by our boat. There were many sea birds that would fly by and were welcomed guests to our cruise. The boat sailed with about 20 passengers and the crew was very attentive. We were served mixed drinks, beer, wine and soft drinks and then later in the cruise a homemade dinner was prepared. It was delicious Costa Rican food, which was expertly prepared. We anchored near the coast for an opportunity to swim and snorkel off the shore of the National Forest. Snorkeling gear was provided for all that wanted to participate and inner tubes were offered for those that just wanted to have a restful float while taking in the incredible scenery. After the swim we started back to the port with the sun setting on the ocean. It was one of the most spectacular sunsets I have ever witnessed and there was something special about watching the sun set with no land in sight. On the way home the crew served wine and other drinks to all. The cost of the cruise was $50 US. To contact, call 506 777-1304.
