I'd like to extend my warmest appreciation to Kristin and her amazing group of friends for choosing to rent our luxury megayacht in Costa Rica. They were an absolute pleasure to host, and we were thrilled to have them on board. From the moment they arrived, Kristin and her friends impressed us with their warmth, kindness, and infectious energy. They were a delight to be around, and their excitement was contagious. We loved seeing them explore the stunning coastline, try new things, and just enjoy each other's company. The megayacht is an incredible vessel, and we're proud of the way it showed off the beauty of Costa Rica. But it's the people who make the experience truly special, and Kristin and her group were fantastic ambassadors for our service. They were respectful of the crew, the boat, and the environment, and they went out of their way to make sure everyone felt included and comfortable. Their laughter and smiles lit up the entire yacht, and we were so happy to have been a part of their adventure. I can't say enough good things about Kristin and her friends. They were an absolute joy to host, and we would be honored to have them back on board anytime. If you're looking for a group that's going to make the most of their experience, look no further – Kristin and her friends are the epitome of a fantastic group. My sincerest appreciation to Kristin and her friends. We hope to have them back soon, and we'll always remember their sparkling energy and warm personalities.

Our group of 11 had an amazing time on our private catamaran. We opted to not be with a group setting and it was worth every penny. Communication to book was great, the staff on board made us feel comfortable and welcomed and happy to assist in whatever we needed. Lunch was AMAZING. Our ride to a bay with snorkel gear was so lovely. They clearly state the year of the boat, 1995, so we didn’t expect a shiny brand new modern boat, which is okay. We would definitely rebook it again! Thank you Mossimo and crew!!
