Brisa Elegante Sailing – From Manuel Antonio

Brisa Elegante Sailing Tour

If you’re looking for a sailing experience, we highly recommend the Brisa Elegante.

This is a 100-foot wooden sailboat that sort of looks like a pirate ship (you can even walk the plank!). The boat has a grand teak deck in the front for sun or shade as well as lots of shade in the back where the wet bar is.

The tour starts at Marina Pez Vela in Quepos and takes you south along the coast and then to a calm cover for swimming and snorkeling. Snorkel conditions in Manuel Antonio aren’t the best but it’s still fun to swim in the warm water and do some casual snorkeling. They have a SUP and kayak you can use as well.

The lunch is mahi-mahi with vegetables and pasta salad. Vegetarian and vegan options available. We’ve done several catamaran/sailing tours and this one is the most high-end experience.

Cost: $120 per person adults plus 13% tax. $60 per person children ages 6-12 plus 13% tax. Free for children 5 and under.
