About the experience.
The day tour checks in at the Maritime Terminal at 8:45 am, serves breakfast on board and sails at 10. The first two hours are given to the show, contests and face painting, then the ship anchors off Majahuitas from noon to 2 pm for snorkeling, kayaking and banana boat rides, with a treasure hunt on the beach. Food is served from 2 to 3 pm and the pirate party runs until 4. The whole day lasts six hours.
The night tour is a five-hour cruise that leaves just before sunset. Boarding comes with a live musical comedy show and a pirate toast, and the evening moves through a pre-Hispanic show, sword fighting, acrobatics, dancing fountains and a fireworks display. Dinner is served with a premium bar of national and international brands, and there is live music and dancing until the ship returns.
Both cruises depart from the Maritime Terminal. Choose the day tour for children and a beach afternoon; the night tour is written for adults.

Rhythms of the Night
A dusk cruise across the bay, torches flickering on the shore at Las Caletas, dinner by candlelight and a show on a stone pyramid stage in the jungle.
Sunset Sailing
Wind in the sails, a drink in hand, and the sky over the Pacific turning gold, red and pink.
Las Caletas Beach Hideaway
The director John Huston once called this cove home. Today it is a private beach on the South Shore, reachable only by boat.
