About This Tour

Skip the crowded group catamarans. Step off the sand at your Papagayo resort straight onto your own private 40 ft yacht — no marina transfers, no strangers, no schedule but yours.

Cruise the glassy Gulf of Papagayo past Monkey Head Rock to secluded beaches like Playa Huevos and Playa Nacascolo. Drop anchor in a calm cove, snorkel over volcanic reefs, paddle the SUP, or float on the mat with a cold drink from the open bar. Dolphins cross the bay often, and humpback whales pass through in season.

The charter we recommend for families, couples and friend groups staying at the Papagayo resorts — birthdays, anniversaries, proposals, or simply the best day of your Costa Rica trip.

Tour Itinerary

Coastal Cruise & Papagayo Landmarks Cast off and cruise the calm Gulf of Papagayo: volcanic cliffs, Monkey Head Rock and the peninsula's five-star coastline from the water.

Snorkeling & Secluded Beach Anchor in a quiet cove near Playa Huevos. Snorkel the reef, paddle the SUP, or relax on the floating mat.

Open Bar, Lunch & Golden Hour Cold drinks flowing, taco bar served (Full Day), music on. On the Sunset departure, cruise home as the Pacific sky turns pink.
