This was a fabulous experience for my husband and I. The perfect mix of luxury sailing, great home-cooked food, drinks and wildlife. I would recommend the full day experience for a relaxed tour of some great beaches and reef. Michelle and Clem are wonderful hosts and the crew member Carlos was instrumental in our snorkelling experience and finding some monkeys and turtles!

Clem, Michelle, and Carlos made sure everything was perfect for our full day of activities. Everything was so thoughtful and delicious. My kids (11 and 8) said “it was the best day ever”.  Michelle prepared the most delicious spread of food, including cheese and fresh fruit, guacamole, and finally chicken, potatoes, and pizza. Snorkeling we saw some of the most beautiful beaches and sea life. Sunset was stunning.
1000% recommend this trip!

We had the most perfect day sailing with Clem and Michelle. Easy pick up from our hotel and then we were immediately spoiled with fresh fruit and incredible drinks. We did some super amazing snorkeling (saw HUGE sea turtles) and explored some very private beaches. The day was so well planned that we were just able to relax and enjoy ourselves. Definitely the best way to explore the peninsula with the best food and service! Would definitely book again.

Expérience exceptionnelle avec Clément et Michelle ! Nous avons été traités comme des rois toute la journée, avec un parcours sur mesure dans les meilleurs recoins de la baie. Clément a su nous indiquer où voir des tortues de mer, des requins et même des raies !Pour couronner le tout, la nourriture et les boissons servies étaient excellentes, préparées avec soin et en direct du bateau ! On recommande vivement, de loin la meilleure expérience de notre séjour au Costa Rica

ABOUT US

In December 2023, after sailing from California down to Oaxaca, Mexico, we decided to continue south, setting our sights on Costa Rica as the place where we would settle.

We fell in love with this country — and especially with the breathtaking region of Guanacaste, home to what are likely the most beautiful bays, beaches, and hidden coves in all of Costa Rica.To continue living aboard our boat, we chose to create a daily charter experience, allowing us to share a piece of our passion each day with those who wish to join us — to feel the sea, the wind, and the joy of sailing together.

Anna Holala is a 34-foot sailing catamaran designed for comfort, stability, and true ocean adventure.

She has safely carried us all the way from
San Diego to Costa Rica, sailing down the Pacific coast — a journey that speaks to her reliability, seaworthiness, and spirit of exploration. She is not just a charter boat; she is our home and our trusted companion at sea.

Built on the renowned platform of the
Gemini 105M, Anna Holala blends performance under sail with exceptional comfort at anchor. Her shallow draft allows access to secluded bays, hidden beaches, and crystal-clear snorkeling spots that larger boats simply cannot reach.

What makes her special :

Proven Offshore Capability – Ocean-tested from California to Central America
Smooth & Stable Ride – Perfect for families and first-time sailors
Open hard deck– Relax, enjoy fresh cocktails, and feel the sea breeze
Authentic Sailing Experience – We raise the sails whenever conditions allow
Access to Hidden Coves – Thanks to her shallow draft design

More than a boat, she carries stories.
And now, she carries yours.
