An exclusive private tour for your group or family! Where we will visit the magnificent Tortuga Island as well as other breathtaking beaches, go snorkeling and diving, have time to relax, have a delicious cocktail, and if you feel like it, even fish a little.
A great opportunity from Manuel Antonio, Jaco Beach, and Herradura beach.
"Amazing as always!
My family and I have used Zuma Tours for 15 years now, and everytime it's a great experience. Super friendly crew, great stop spots, and the best part about the private tour is that they'll take you to places the group tours don't go to. My family loves this trip, as do visitors that come to see us. I'd never use anyone else in the area! Thanks guys!!!!!!!!!"

Our fleet features two premier 42-foot vessels, the Dolce Vita III and the Campari Spritz, both designed to bring a luxury touch to your ocean adventure. These sister boats share a spacious 10-foot beam and are powered by twin 250HP V6 outboard motors, comfortably accommodating up to 25 passengers. Each boat features a raised captain’s tower, 70% sun coverage, cozy lounge areas, a private toilet, a freshwater shower, and first-class sound systems. While the Dolce Vita III was fully renovated in November 2025 to enhance its elegant interior, the Campari Spritz (joined in 2024) is specifically equipped for professional sport fishing. Whether you are looking for a refined cruise or an active day of fishing, these vessels offer the perfect blend of comfort and performance.
