Panache Sailing

When we first boarded I was a little worried by the amount of people onboard, but as we set sail and people spread out there was more than enough room for everyone. Staff were all very friendly and accommodating. They took us out to a quiet area for us to swim and kayak for just over an hour before eating lunch/dinner and then sailing back during sunset. Overall the trip took a very long time but I loved every second of it. It was one of the highlights of our trip for sure. I would recommend them if you're looking for a tour.

Wonderful excursion! Beautiful scenery , great activities (snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding) and the lunch and margaritas were great as well. Sergio and his crew were all great and took awesome care of us.

What an amazing experience! From the cruise, to the snorkeling, to the food and drinks, and the sunset. But all of that pales in comparison to the crew! Jessica, David, and I wish I could remember the other two guys names, were phenomenal with our obnoxious group. Super friendly and patient with the newbies to snorkeling. The catamaran is immaculate and clean.

We were with a group that rented 2 catamarans of 25 people. I am so sorry that I don’t remember the names of the staff on our catamaran because they were the absolute best! They were so attentive, fun and accommodating. Members of our group ranged from 3 years to 70+ and
safety was a priority for our Panache crew! They took us to the perfect place for snorkeling and water fun! The food was delicious and they kept us hydrated and happy! This is one of the most enjoyable things we did while visiting Potrero! I would highly recommend!

An incredible Sunset Cruise led by our captain Sergio. The catamaran was comfortable and the crew was spectacular! They couldn't do enough for all the passengers.

Everything about this sailing adventure was amazing! All of the guys were so informative and attentive to the needs of everyone aboard. They made sure everyone had drinks, prepared amazing snacks, and provided great instructions on snorkeling and kayaking. We are so grateful to all!

Absolute awesome experience! Boat was immaculate, food above expectations, they served legit cocktails, and the crew makes you feel like you are hanging out with old friends. Thank you captain Sergio and crew Pablo and Marcelo & Anders—you guys made the day!

We had a wonderful tour with an amazing team. The hospitality of the crew was awesome...drinks and food were delicious. We snorkeling, and one guide got a puffer fish to show us. I would totally recommend taking this trip! It was a nice end to the day with a sunset sail back into the Marina.

We took a sailing, snorkel and kayak/paddleboard trip out of Playa Flamingo and had a fantastic time. The staff were professional, friendly and attentive. They were making sure that drinks were in hand all the way out and let us catch fish on the way to snorkeling. The beach they anchored out was beautiful, and they allowed a generous amount of time to snorkel and paddle around. The really impressive part came at the end, where they showed off excellent sailing skills and practically flew back to the marina on the wind.

This sunset catamaran tour was the perfect blend of fun and relaxation! The captain and crew were warm and friendly, and clearly skilled sailors. Even in December, we got to jump in for a nice swim under the beautiful Costa Rican sun! Then the smell of food drew us back to the boat where we enjoyed a delicious dinner. The sunset over the water was a gorgeous end to the evening. Highly recommend going for a sail with Panache!

We were with a large tour group with Gate 1 Travel. About a third of us went on this cruise. The boat is beautiful and well maintained. We had a lovely trip to an isolated beach for swimming, snorkeling, kayaking and more. This was followed by an excellent lunch and included endless drinks. It was a great way to spend a morning! The crew were knowledge and fun.

Super fun morning sail- the crew is really great and the food (they called it snacks but it was definitely enough for lunch) was AWESOME. We went to a secluded beach and swam, SUP, kayaked and snorkeled. Trip was about 4 hours and we arranged transport also with Panache. Absolutely would go again.

Amazing time on the sunset cruise! Crew were amazing and helpful. We saw lots of wildlife such as turtles and sting rays, and when we docked up there were lots of activities to do- canoeing, snorkelling, body boarding. The food and drinks were lovely, and they served a range of cocktails. Would 100% recommend. We also got to see the sunset which was beautiful.

The best afternoon ever! Had so much fun with the crew! We have sailed on various ships and this was by far at the top of our list. The drinks. The staff (our favorite for sure). The scenery. All more than we could ever imagined. Highly recommend for anyone. We had three boys with us ranging from 9-14 and they loved the afternoon too. We had other families with younger children and also older children and we all had the best time. The best afternoon for us in Costa Rica! Highly recommend!!

Hard to beat a sailing adventure aboard Panache Sailings 46' catamaran out of the Playa Flamingo Marina. The luxurious cat was immaculate and hospitality exceptional, with local beers, cocktails, and delicious food. Spent the afternoon sailing with dolphins and Papagayo winds along Costa Rica’s beautiful coastline with a stop at a secluded bay for swimming, guided snorkeling, paddle boarding and kayaking. Captain Frederick and crew were super friendly and attentive, and did everything possible to ensure that we had a smooth, safe and enjoyable experience. Muchas gracias, Panache. Until next time. Pura vida! ⛵

Unbelievable sunset cruise! Everyone so nice and helpful. Food & drinks were delicious! Great experience!

Spectacular-must MUST do in CR! We sail everywhere in the world we go, and this was one of the best. The vessel, the crew, the service-all top notch! They served excellent food and drinks, and took us all over for 4+ hours. We came back brand new and rejuvenated. Fun guests on board, too! We made some friends and keep in touch. We’ll be back again for sure!

The guides were very nice, checked up on the customers frequently, and kept everyone hydrated and comfortable. The boat was clean and they provided food during the ride that was freshly caught. When we stopped passengers had an opportunity to snorkel and some of the crew took the passengers to specific spots. They provided transportation to and from my accommodation and were very punctual(the driver arrived 5 minutes early, and the boat was back on the dock and the passengers were on their way to their cars by 6pm as promised). As a female traveler who doesn’t speak much spanish I felt safe from the moment I was picked up till I was dropped off, the driver didn’t leave till after I was safely inside the gate of my accommodation.

Amazing experience today! Justin and his crew were amazing! We got to see a baby and mama whale! When we stopped for water activities our snorkeling guide found a baby octopus to show us and we also saw some pretty fish! While we were doing Water activities the crew prepared chicken burritos, fish tacos, and dips. The food was so delicious!

We had a fantastic time with Sergio, Jessica, Gabriel, and Manuel on a morning tour. The crew was really accomodating and the drinks/food were great. They even caught fish on the way out to the snorkeling spot and filleted it to servewith lunch. Just a great quality tour. Book this one if you are looking for a quality operation. Thank you Panache Sailing crew!
