Setting Sail from Potrero

The sun was high in the sky as I made my way to Potrero Beach, ready for an afternoon of adventure on the British Private Charter. As a seasoned surfer, I’ve spent countless hours on the water, but this was a different kind of thrill. The promise of wildlife encounters and snorkeling in the pristine waters of Costa Rica was too tempting to resist.

Upon arrival, I was greeted by Mike, who was prompt and efficient, quickly getting us aboard the boat with Captain Romero. The boat was comfortable and well-equipped, perfect for a laid-back afternoon on the ocean. As we set sail, the coastline of Costa Rica unfolded before us, a stunning backdrop of lush greenery and deep blue waters. I couldn’t help but feel a sense of freedom, the kind that only the open sea can provide.

Snorkeling in Paradise

Our first stop was a secluded beach, a hidden gem that promised the best snorkeling experience. As someone who has spent years chasing waves, I was eager to dive into the underwater world. The snorkeling gear provided was top-notch, with a valve that made it easy to clear any water, ensuring a comfortable experience.

Captain Romero was more than just a guide; he was a reassuring presence in the water. His hospitality and attentiveness were unmatched, offering drinks and snacks to keep us refreshed. For those who might feel anxious in the water, like one of my fellow adventurers who shared their story of overcoming a fear of deep water, Captain Romero was there every step of the way. His kindness and patience made the experience truly special, allowing everyone to enjoy the vibrant marine life below.

Sunset Serenity

As the day began to wind down, we set our course back to Potrero, but not before pausing to take in the breathtaking sunset. The sky was painted in hues of orange and pink, a perfect end to a day spent in paradise. Sitting on the deck, with a cold drink in hand, I reflected on the day’s adventures and the simple joys of life on the water.

The British Private Charter had delivered an unforgettable experience, one that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Costa Rica. Whether you’re a seasoned ocean lover or a first-time snorkeler, the combination of stunning scenery, abundant wildlife, and the warm hospitality of Captain Romero and Mike make this a must-do adventure. Until next time, Pura Vida! 🤙
