The engine hum settles into a steady rhythm as the Mako slips away from Tamarindo’s shoreline, spray catching the sun and outlining the bay in silver. Onboard, Captain Bismark Quesada runs a compact, efficient operation: a 2020 Mako Center Console with a 250‑HP Yamaha, room for five, an ice box, outside speakers and a small head — the kind of boat that turns short coastal runs into comfortable, flexible days at sea.

The Guanacaste coast here is young volcanic rock edged by white sand and shallow reefs. Tamarindo itself grew from a quiet fishing village into one of Costa Rica’s surf and sportfishing hubs, but the waters north hold quieter coves where coral ledges and rocky outcrops concentrate marine life.
Expect a roughly four‑hour private excursion that anchors at a remote beach north of Tamarindo for snorkeling, swimming or a shoreline walk. Snorkel masks and pool noodles are provided; snacks, fresh fruit, sodas and beer keep energy up between swims. The trip is adaptable — Captain Bismark tailors stops to current, visibility and group ability — and most sites are a short run from town, often within 20–40 minutes depending on sea state.
Practically: bring reef‑safe sunscreen, a snug mask or prescription snorkel if you use one, and a lightweight coverup for the sun on the return trip. Moderate fitness and comfortable swimming ability make the day more enjoyable; travelers with serious back or heart issues should consult a physician. Seas can change quickly in the Gulf of Papagayo; check cancellation and weather policies and arrive ready to hop in when the boat anchors.
The tour includes a private four‑hour cruise, use of snorkeling masks and pool noodles, snacks, sodas, beer and water; confirm specific inclusions with the operator.
The Mako is configured for up to five guests, making this a small private charter ideal for couples or small groups.
Yes — infants must sit on a lap; children should be supervised and able to follow safety instructions; ask about life jacket sizes when booking.
