Yacht Charter Costa Rica

Experience Costa Rica by yacht. From Papagayo Bay to the Osa Peninsula, discover the Pacific coast aboard luxury vessels like the Sunseeker 82.

Yacht charters in Costa Rica occupy a different space entirely from the established circuits of the Mediterranean or Caribbean. Here, you are not cruising from port to port along developed coastlines. You are exploring a wild Pacific shore where tropical forests meet the sea, where humpback whales breach offshore, and where secluded anchorages remain genuinely undiscovered. The Sunseeker 82 at anchor in the Gulf of Papagayo Why Costa Rica by Yacht Costa Rica's Pacific coast presents a paradox: one of the most biodiverse marine environments on Earth, yet largely inaccessible by road. The yacht solves this equation. From your vessel, you reach beaches where howler monkeys are the only other visitors, dive sites where manta rays glide past in formation, and sunset anchorages where the jungle sounds replace any trace of civilization. Taking in the untouched Guanacaste coastline from the aft deck Access to remote beaches unreachable by road Marine wildlife including whales, dolphins, and sea turtles World-class snorkeling and diving at pristine sites Combination of adventure and genuine luxury Far fewer vessels than Caribbean or Mexican waters The Sunseeker 82: Our Costa Rica Flagship Based in Playa del Coco, the Sunseeker 82 represents the pinnacle of Costa Rica yacht charters. This British-built vessel combines genuine offshore capability with the interior refinement you expect from a world-class yacht. Four staterooms accommodate up to eight guests.

Further south, the central Pacific coast—Manuel Antonio, Quepos, and beyond—combines jungle scenery with excellent marine life. For the adventurous, the Osa Peninsula and Golfo Dulce provide the most remote and pristine waters in Costa Rica. Cruising along the Guanacaste coast Typical Itineraries Day charters from Playa del Coco typically explore the Gulf of Papagayo, anchoring at secluded beaches for swimming and snorkeling. Multi-day voyages can reach the Catalina Islands for diving, the Bat Islands for experienced divers seeking manta rays, or journey south toward Tamarindo and beyond. The captain tailors each voyage to conditions and guest interests. Day trip: Papagayo Bay beaches and snorkeling (6-8 hours) Overnight: Catalina Islands for diving and remote anchorage 3-day: Southern exploration to Tamarindo and Santa Teresa Week charter: Full Gulf of Papagayo and beyond When to Charter December through April defines Costa Rica's dry season—blue skies, calm seas, and optimal conditions. This coincides with humpback whale season (December-March), when pods migrate through these waters. The green season (May-November) brings afternoon showers but also fewer tourists and lush landscapes. Serious ang
