Calypso’s super catamaran, Manta Raya, glides past more than seven islands in the Gulf of Nicoya. Her Port of Call is the
enchantingly beautiful, palm studded Tortuga Island where you can walk the impeccable white sand beach, swim in the turquoise waters and
investigate the marine life while the crew prepares a sumptuous feast (featured in Gourmet Magazine). Enjoy dining in the shade of
white umbrellas with tables covered in white linen.
The day begins at your hotel where you will be greeted by a bilingual guide and seated on an air-conditioned bus.
The bus ride takes you to the pacific port of Puntarenas stopping along the way for Costa Rican typical breakfast.
Upon arrival in Puntarenas you will board Calypso's super catamaran Manta Raya. She is actually designed by Calypso Passengers
suggestions since 1975. Manta Raya features fresh water showers and full bar. The spacious main salon combines with an expansive deck
area which includes 2 deck pools, offering a level of cruising luxury and comfort in 100% Calypso style.
Once underway the Manta Raya makes her way to the Gulf of Nicoya. Her white clad crew pampers guests with fresh tropical fruits and drinks.
In the morning the catamaran will pass the islands of San Lucas, Gypsy, Sugar Loaf, Guayabo; Jesusita, Cedros and Negritos with Tortuga Island as the destination.
Particularly enchanting for it's beauty, Tortuga Island is known for its immaculate white sand beach and turquoise waters, a perfect stop for swimming,
snorkeling and Calypso's famous lunch. For passenger safety and convenience Manta Raya has a bow ramp which allows her passengers to disembark directly onto the beach.
Sip cold wine in the shade of white umbrellas at tables covered with white linen and be served the midday feast. A sumptuous delight, featured in
Gourmet Magazine, starts with a ceviche appetizer and followed by a medley of salads. The main dish is a delightful bar-b-qued breast of chicken covered
in a mouthwatering tropical sauce accompanied with julienned vegetables all cooked fresh on the grill by Calypso's expert crew.
