Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of person sails aboard the Lazy Lizard ?

A: Since our boats are very stable, shaded, and safe, they allow us to take out every type of person from youngsters, to seniors with some physical challenges. We pride ourselves in making everybody feel "at home" on our boats.

What should I bring with me?

Bring a towel, sunscreen, swimsuit, change of clothes, sunglasses, hat, and your favorite snorkeling gear if you have it. We provide snorkeling gear, but you may be more comfortable with the fit of your own.

Do I get wet?

Only if you like. The area in the back of our catamaran is completely protected from sun and spray. You may get some spray on you when you venture on to the sunbathing trampolines on the front of the boat. But since the water in Costa Rica is very warm, this is very refreshing. We offer an outdoor fresh water shower to wash the salt off.

Can I help with the sailing and learn to sail?

Yes. We are sailing instructors and would be happy to let you take the wheel or handle the lines. This can be a "hands on" experience, or you can just lie around and relax.

Is there a bathroom aboard?

Yes. We have a large bathroom below decks and a private changing area.

What about those Sea Kayaks ... will I be able to use them?

Yes. Our specially designed "sit on top" kayaks are perfect for beginners and are easy to paddle and very stable. We will be glad to give you a few pointers, help you get into the kayak and send you off exploring...

Will I get seasick?

Since we use a specially designed catamaran, we have had very few guests get seasick on our trips. Our boats simply don't roll around like all single hulled boats. Our non-rolling catamaran is especially nice while we are at anchor in a cove; snorkeling, and enjoying snacks and drinks.
