The experience
The day starts on a new sailing catamaran, 50 feet long, with the Pacific right beside you. Warm, pristine water invites a swim, and floats wait around the boat for lazy stretches between dips. Feeling bold? Climb up and jump off the roof of the catamaran. Snorkeling gear is on board for exploring what lies beneath the surface.
Then the boat carries you to Playa Fantasia, a hidden white sand beach far from the tourist hot spots. Its beach club is open only to guests on board, so the sand is yours to share with your own group. Hammocks and beach loungers are set out, and there is a bathroom. Paddle boards and boogie boards are ready, and each guest gets a banana boat ride.
Your private chef brings out snacks and dips, fresh fruit and fish ceviche, then a lunch built around kebabs and fresh bread. An open bar keeps the drinks flowing while you swim, float and bounce across the waves on the banana boat.
