5 stars all around
Captain Taca and Pardo! These two guys are amazing. These two guys treated our kids as if they were their own. Being able to go snorkeling when your 4 year old is hanging out with the Captain eating chips, and steering the boat. The kids loved being treated with fresh fruit and sodas!
Response from the operator: There is nothing more meaningful to us than earning the trust of a family and creating a place where parents and children can simply enjoy every moment together. Your beautiful words are a reminder that the most meaningful memories are often the ones shared at sea. Thank you for sharing such a special part of your journey with us. Your kindness will stay with our crew for a long time, and your review reminds us why we are so passionate about creating unforgettable experiences for every family who steps aboard. With heartfelt gratitude, Velero del Sol Team

The Highlight of Costa Rica!
FAMILY FRIENDLY - A+ : Taca & Pardo were insanely good. Words can’t express how incredible they were. They went above and beyond - they took care of Archie, our rowdy toddler, and quickly became his tios. They stressed that the ride was our time to relax and they were okay with him … & they weren’t just okay- Pardo took him on a paddle boat ride, Taca let him stear the boat, and Pardo even chased him around as we were sailing back so we could take a beat (or a few). As a parent.. as a human… I can’t suggest this co & these two more. I’ll be back many times.
Response from the operator: Dear family, Your beautiful words truly touched our hearts. It was a genuine pleasure to welcome your family aboard Viajero del Sol. Knowing that your time with us became such a special part of your journey means more than we can express. Seeing little ones feel comfortable, curious, and free to enjoy the adventure is one of the greatest rewards for our crew. Thank you for placing your trust in us and for sharing such a heartfelt review. It reminds us why we love what we do every day. With sincere appreciation, Velero del Sol Team

Crazy girl’s trip
We had an amazing time! All the crew members were very friendly & gracious!! We had plenty of drinks & delicious food! We swam out in the bay & some of the crew swam with us. They had plenty of swim noodles, snorkeling supplies & a paddle board. 5 from our group swam out the the island & the captain seam with them & showed them around. We saw a beautiful sunset!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much, Paula! We're absolutely delighted your girls' trip was such a blast. It means a lot that you enjoyed the food, drinks, and our crew they had just as much fun swimming and paddling with you all! That sunset was truly special, and we hope to see you back on board for another adventure soon.

Trip highlight!
It was a fantastic girls trip and the cruise with a highlight! From the moment we met the crew, we felt very taken care of. Taco was a knowledgeable and super experienced captain while Aczel was friendly and through lines out for fishing and pipi the bartender provided wonderful food and drinks. The sailing was so fun! We anchored and Taca swam with us to the island and with great joy found a spider starfish to show and teach us. What an amazing experience!
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! Reading that our sailing trip became such a special part of your vacation truly means a lot to us. Your thoughtful words will definitely be shared with our crew—they’ll be so happy to know they helped create such a memorable day for your girls trip. Wishing you many more amazing adventures together, and we hope the ocean brings you back to Costa Rica someday! ⛵☀️

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Sailing Charter in Tamarindo-Viajero Del Sol: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tamarindo.
How much does Private Sailing Charter in Tamarindo-Viajero Del Sol cost?
+
Prices start at $900 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tamarindo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Sailing Charter in Tamarindo-Viajero Del Sol take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tamarindo is not rushed.
Is Private Sailing Charter in Tamarindo-Viajero Del Sol worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tamarindo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Sailing Charter in Tamarindo-Viajero Del Sol?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Sailing Charter in Tamarindo-Viajero Del Sol suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Sailing Charter in Tamarindo-Viajero Del Sol?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tamarindo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tamarindo and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Sailing Charter in Tamarindo-Viajero Del Sol start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tamarindo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tamarindo?
+
On Outty we rank every Tamarindo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Surf Lesson in Tamarindo - Stand Up or Your Money Back!, Sunset Catamaran & Snorkeling Tour in Playa Flamingo, Fundive Catalina Islands (2 dives, only for certified divers). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tamarindo?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tamarindo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Private Sailing Charter in Tamarindo-Viajero Del Sol?
+
Included: Use of snorkeling equipment; Bottled water; Meals; Carbonated beverages; and Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Private Sailing Charter in Tamarindo-Viajero Del Sol?
+
El Chiringuito Restaurant Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Private Sailing Charter in Tamarindo-Viajero Del Sol offered in?
+
