Sunset Sails in Tamarindo, honestly
The standard format is a 4–5 hour afternoon sail: motor out, anchor in a calm bay for swimming and snorkeling, then food, drinks, and the sail back timed to sunset. Open bar and a meal are included on most boats — check whether pickup from your hotel is too.
Group catamarans are the social, better-value option; private charters make sense for families, proposals, or groups of eight or more. Sunset is quick this close to the equator — boats time it well, but don't book a 6 pm dinner in town afterward; you'll dock around dark.
Before you book
- Book 2–3 days ahead in high season — sunset sails fill first
- Bring a light layer; the breeze picks up on the sail home
- Motion-sensitive? The afternoon swell is gentle but real — take tablets beforehand
- Private charters are worth it from about 8 people up — compare per-person math
