Traveler Reviews

In the instructions that are sent upon booking the experience it is clearly stated in ALL CAPS that this is NOT A BOOZE CRUISE. But, upon getting on the catamaran once the third shuttle boat of people had all been delivered, the booze started flowing up until the VERY end. Shots? Sure! This would not have been an issue had the company NOT stressed that this was not a booze cruise, thus leading to the misconception that this would be a nice catamaran with a stop for snorkeling, lunch and a beautiful view of the sunset. They delivered on the gorgeous sunset but it was hard to see among the crowd of intoxicated people. Also, in a time in this world where COVID is present, there felt like an alarming number of people in relatively tight quarters. I would not recommend this to a family looking for a casual day or someone who is looking for a relaxing day on the water. I will say that we saw tons of marine life and did enjoy a gorgeous sunset. However, we did not eat the lunch as it

This is my fourth or fifth time on this sunset cruise snd as usual, the sunset can not be beat. The meal was fresh, the staff kind and the tour operated on time and efficiently loaded and unloaded passengers. Sadly the boat seems to have deteriorated since I was last on it in March, Thr ladies room toilet was not filling or flushing. The staff was alerted several times but none of the issues were addressed during our cruise. The condition of the ladies room became quite unbearable. The men’s room was functioning but also missing part of the handle inside. Men (and eventually women) who used the facility became locked inside if they completely closed the door. I’ve always enjoyed this tour and again brought a group (9 people this time). Time to reevaluate what was once a must fo each trip.

This was our second time embarking on the Marlin del Rey for a sunset cruise. I can’t say enough positive things about the MDR crew who make every cruise a special and memorable experience for all onboard. From the music, open bar, delicious lunch, beautiful landscapes, and clean facilities — you can’t go wrong spending a day on the ocean with MDR. We will keep coming back every time we’re in Tamarindo. Pura Vida!

My family and I had such a great time on the Catamaran Tour out of Playa del Coco!! Your staff was extremely helpful and friendly and the boat was clean and welcoming! The food provided was delicious! I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting. Caution when snorkeling, there were a lot of jellyfish that were on the attack!

We booked this for a sunset cruise. This was the last night we were to be in Costa Rica and I couldn't have thought to do something better. I was with my mom, wife, sister, nephew, niece, nephew's girl friend, and GREAT friends (family). They pick you up on the beach and boat you out to the Catamaran. So much fun honestly. The ENTIRE crew was amazing. Filipe (sp) was the main deckhand/host and he was HILARIOUS and friendly. The entire crew was. They made you feel like family. They made sure you had something to drink, not just alcohol, but anything. They wanted you to feel comfortable....they did that. We got introduced to Greg Ruzicka, owner, and his grandson. What a great young man and he loved working (not really) on the boat. He was a joy to have with us. We started heading out to the horizon and we saw some sting ray jumping/playing. Well all of a sudden there was commotion on the boat. it was everyone's excitement to see two humpback whales peaking. WOW!!!!!!! Fil
