Overview

A trip to Tamarindo is not complete without a day spent on the ocean, and there is no better way to enjoy the beauty and wonder of the Costa Rica sea than with Blue Dolphin Sailing. Blue Dolphin is the original and longest operating sailing tour company in Costa Rica, operating since 2004. Blue Dolphin 1 is a 40’ open layout catamaran and Blue Dolphin 2 is a large, 50’ cruising style catamaran. Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, a family and friends or a business group, the Blue Dolphin’s professional, licensed crew will make you feel welcome and part of our family. So come aboard, relax and enjoy the ride with us! Tours during high season are likely to sell-out, so book early. Reservation cut-off time is 11:30 am day of tour.

Meeting points

Meeting point and boarding are on the beach in front of El Chirinquito restaurant, 100 yards south of the rotunda.

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

Itinerary

From Tamarindo we will head North up the coast for about 1 hour while we will enjoy delightful drinks, spectacular scenery and the possibility for spotting for sea life such as whales, dolphins, turtles and rays. Then we will moor in a cove near Playa Huevos for water activities. After the water activities we return to the boat to enjoy a delicious, light meal around 4 PM. Once the food service is complete we weigh anchor and head back to Tamarindo. All the while you’ll enjoy our good music, drinks, perhaps a little dancing, and likely an amazing sunset. We’ll deliver back to shore just after the sun sets.

Great cruise!

Published on Feb, 2025

Amazing trip! Great crew, fun music and vibes. Sailed for about 1.5 hours out to the swimming area and got to swim/ snorkel for over an hour. Once we were done swimming, came back on the boat for yummy fajitas! Sailed back during sunset and got to see some whales! Amazing time, crew was very attentive and fun! Would highly recommend!

The best catamaran in tamarindo!

Published on Jan, 2025

Fransisco and Tavo were the best!! They made sure to keep the drinks flowing and even taught us how to salsa. The food was delicious and the music was authentic and super fun to dance to. There was a mixed group of people on board but they did a good job at making sure the whole group was having fun. Could not recommend enough!

Great Cruise beautiful coast line!

Not my first trip with Blue Dolphin but I come back for a reason. It’s a great craft and the crew were awesome. Ice cold beer and tasty cocktails were flowing and everyone had a blast. Food was tasty as usual

Made for a fantastic day!!

Published on Jan, 2025

The crew was fantastic, the food was great, the sunset stunning, what else can I say except that it made for a fantastic day. I have some mobility issues and the crew made sure I was safe and assisted when needed. Very professional team. Our only problem, now we have a lot of beautiful sunset pictures to go though!!
