See Why We're #1 for Yacht Charters in Costa Rica

It's a day trip. Every charter here runs 4 or 8 hours and returns the same day, with no overnight stays. The 4-hour trips leave in the morning or afternoon, and most 8-hour days add lunch, such as the taco bar on the 50 ft Private Motor Yacht Papagayo – Family Beach Day.

Yes, every boat here is chartered privately for your group. Private yacht charters start at $2,995 for the whole boat, up to 8 guests. The 40 ft Private Yacht Charter Papagayo – Snorkeling & Open Bar picks you up from your Papagayo resort beach for a snorkeling stop, paddleboards and an open bar.

Every charter includes drinks, from unlimited open bars to wine and cocktails, and most boats carry snorkel gear and paddleboards. Full days usually add lunch, and the 46 ft Private Catamaran Costa Rica – Sunset Sail serves fresh fish ceviche with vegan options on its menu. Crew tips and transportation cost extra.

Yes, superyachts sail from Marina Papagayo for 4 or 8 hours. The 75 ft Princess Superyacht Charter Papagayo, Costa Rica has a deck jacuzzi, air-conditioned bedrooms and a crew-served group lunch on full days, while the 80 ft Sunseeker Superyacht Charter Papagayo, Costa Rica pairs its jacuzzi with a premium bar, wakeboard, water skis and tubing.

Most charters cast off from Marina Papagayo, and some board right from a Papagayo beach, such as your resort's. In Tamarindo, the 51 ft Power Catamaran Charter Tamarindo – Jet Ski & Surf boards at Langosta Beach Club, just south of town. Transfers aren't included but can be arranged on request.

Papagayo charters cruise the gulf to secluded coves where you can snorkel, paddleboard or float.
