On boarding Pegasus you’ll be offered a welcome drink before our crew take you through a short orientation; we’ll tell you important safety information, show you the boats amenities, explain the spots we will visit and what to expect throughout the day.
As we set sail out of Flamingo we’ll pass beautiful Playa Penca and Penaguaste Island as we head towards Las Catalinas and Honeymoon beach. Here the ocean is rich in colourful and diverse wildlife. It’s often possible to see jumping dolphins, friendly sea turtles, gliding manta rays and breaching whales - keep your eyes peeled! We will select the optimal spot to drop the anchor, based on the days weather and visibility conditions. Here the group can enjoy jumping into the warm glistening waters whilst the crew prepare your lunch.

Great time on the water. Captain and first mate were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the weather was not ideal for sailing but that did not stop us from having a great time.
We had an amazing time! Worth it for the sunset views! The food was great - chicken tacos, fruit, etc.
Rodrigo and Eric are amazing! We booked with them due to the amazing reviews and let me tell you the other reviews are spot on. We arrived at the beach, were promptly picked up and taken to the boat. On board we were greeted with drinks (kid drinks as well for our 3 children - 9, 6 & 4) as well as a large plate of refresh fruit. We enjoyed the boat ride to the snorkeling spot where we saw various fish! Our 4 and 6 year old were nervous snorkeling but Eric was so great with them while Rodrigo was cooking up an amazing lunch on the boat. After snorkeling we enjoyed an amazing lunch and spent time on the beach before heading back. The kids enjoyed some fishing as well. Highly recommend especially for families!
We had a great time. The guides were awesome! They were very knowledgeable about the area and waters. They made us a great dinner, and everyone was well fed. I would highly recommend! Thank you for an amazing evening (sunset)!
Wow! This was great. Rodrigo, Eddy, & Simon were a fantastic crew. Chill and attentive. We did later in the day being able to catch the beautiful sunset. 10/10 would recommend. Good was yummy. Fully stocked with everything you need for food or drinks. We had two teenagers and they loved every minute being on the water. They had snorkels and a floating mat with noodles. Be sure to bring towels :) could not be happier with our experience with these guys. Thank you so much!
Captain Rodrigo and Eric were great hosts on the Pegasus. Our family had a wonderful and relaxing afternoon and sunset excursion. We highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun and adventurous day on the ocean.
I wish we could give 6 stars - highly recommend booking with Pegasus! We booked the Sunset cruise from 2-6pm and everything from pick-up to drop-off was excellent. The shuttle arrived early, was clean, air-conditioned and our driver Edgar was friendly and recommended many local sodas to us. Once we arrived at the marina, Rodrigo and Eric picked us up on the tender and took us to the boat. We can't say enough great things about our experience. The snorkel spot was beautiful and relaxing and we stayed up until sunset - all of the other boats left before us so we enjoyed the cover all to ourselves for a little while. The food was prepared fresh on board and was very tasty. Eric kept our drinks full and made sure we were always taken care of. Thank you for making our day so fun and memorable. We will definitely be booking we Pegasus next time!
What a wonderful experience- the highlight of our CR trip! Eric, Rodriguez and Colette were amazing hosts who were so very helpful and kind! Tacos were great; swimming was most lovely and the sunset was spectacular! Many many thanks!
Fabulous time with Rodrigo and mate.Attentive from the start; delicious food - chicken fajitas , fruit plates ,etc… no hungry and better than many restaurants…the views beautiful and wonderful way to experience the area . Sunset was spectacular . Highly recommend this group to anyone considering this activity … i would go again … a highlight of the trip.I can’t think of any ways it could be better
We did the sunset tour and it was fantastic. Rodrigo and Noami were both very courteous, friendly and made the trip enjoyable. The boat was perfect for our group and the food provided was fresh and probably the best food we had on our trip. Drinks were provided and they had a variety and all were very cold! Would highly recommend!
