COSTA CAT I

The Luxury Catamaran

What are catamarans?

Catamarans are a type of watercraft with two parallel hulls, which provide the ship with stability, requiring less power from the engine. This results in a smooth ride, with less wave-induced movements. The Catamaran has a shallower draft than monohull vessels; hence having less of the boat below water. This allows the captain to pull the boat up to the shore for a calmer disembarkment.

We currently have two Catamarans, Costa Cat I and Costa Cat II. These Costa Rican vessels were built to meet USCG(U.S Coast Guards) safety specifications, and are fully insured. Our fleet complies with all Costa Rican requirements, including MOPT and ICT Tourist Declaration.

Our Luxury Catamaran

In 2016, Captain Jim Kitchell and his brother Joe with Kitchell Boat Works began offering tours on our luxury custom-designed 55ft Catamaran, the Costa Cat I.

Costa Cat I has comfortable seating for 40 passengers inside the air conditioned cabin, as well as ample outdoor seating for those who would like to enjoy the sunshine and sea breeze as we cross the bay to Tortuga Island. Our premiere catamaran can accommodate up to 70 guests and has amenities that include two onboard bathrooms.

Costa Cat I is available for our public and most private tours.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nothing short of perfection. The boat was well maintained and clean, the crew was outstanding. I didn’t have to ask for a thing, they were ready to pamper their charter guests. Lunch was carefully prepared and delicious. The island had amenities and activities to keep us entertained for hours. 10/10 would recommend this company and the crew. They made the trip amazing.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We did a tour to Tortuga island with CostaCat. We made the booking at Jaco through Carlos from Best of Jaco Tours, I can highly recommend him.

Everything (and I really mean everything) was well organized. From reservation, pickup & return, catamaran ride, drinks on the catamaran, drinks and lunch on the beach, beach chairs, bar and several activities.

But best of all is the amazing crew that takes excellent care of everyone non stop! Never experienced this before on any boot tour I already did. Well done CostaCat crew !!!

So, if you are in Cost Rica this is for sure a must see island and with CostaCat you will get a day never to forget. Bonus were the 3 whales we saw on the way back!

After trying various alternatives, none have matched the meticulous attention to detail, exceptional service, and dedication to guest satisfaction that Costa Cat Cruises provides. The crew's commitment to excellence and their consistently cheerful demeanor made a lasting impression. Every moment of the trip was enjoyable, and we were thoroughly impressed by the high standard of service delivered.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We booked a full day trip to Tortuga Island on the Costa Cat II and were absolutely blown away with the service we received! My husband and our friends were a bit skeptical due to the price, however, at the end of the day we felt we weren’t charged enough. The food and drinks (included in cost) were some of the best we experienced in southern CR. Marco and his crew were nothing short of amazing! They took time to learn everyone’s names, they catered to anything and everything we needed before we even knew we needed it, and made the whole experience one of the brightest highlights of our whole Costa Rica trip. For those that are worried about getting sea-sick: I struggle with this terribly and the catamaran never caused me any issues. 100/10 would URGE everyone to book a trip with Costa Cat!
