Private Catamaran Sailing Charters from Flamingo: Explore the Pristine Northern Coast of Guanacaste

Set sail on a truly unforgettable experience aboard one of our private catamaran sailing charters departing from the world-class Flamingo Marina in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Designed for those who seek both adventure and tranquility, our custom charters take you north along one of the most spectacular and untouched stretches of the Pacific coastline — where hidden beaches, rich marine life, and clear turquoise waters await.


⛵ Your Journey Begins: From Flamingo to the North

After boarding your private catamaran at the new Flamingo Marina, we’ll hoist the sails and head north along the scenic coast. With the sails full and the sun shining, you’ll feel the rhythm of the ocean as we glide past forested hills, rocky cliffs, and remote beaches only accessible by boat.

Our expert crew will take you to some of the most breathtaking and lesser-known gems in the region:

  • Honeymoon Beach – A secluded white-sand cove surrounded by jungle and crystal-clear waters. Its serenity and beauty make it perfect for swimming, sunbathing, or simply disconnecting.

  • Playa Dantita – Nestled beside the more famous Playa Danta, Dantita is a peaceful and pristine beach framed by lush tropical hills. Its calm waters are perfect for snorkeling or paddleboarding.

  • Guacamayita – A wild and untouched beach with golden sand and rocky outcrops, often completely deserted. It’s a fantastic spot to anchor, relax, and enjoy nature at its purest.


A Natural Ocean Safari

As we sail along the coast, keep your eyes open — you’re entering one of Costa Rica’s most vibrant marine ecosystems. Our guests frequently spot:

  • Dolphins playfully swimming alongside the boat

  • Sea turtles gently surfacing for air

  • Reef fish in bright tropical colors while snorkeling near the rocky reefs

  • Occasionally, even manta rays or whales during the right season

The ocean here is full of life, and each trip brings new surprises.


Swim, Snorkel & Play in Paradise

Once we anchor at a calm and protected cove, it’s time to jump in and enjoy the water. Whether you prefer floating with a drink in hand, swimming freely, snorkeling among fish-covered rocks, or paddleboarding along the coast — we provide all the gear for a fun, active and refreshing time.

Our catamarans are fully equipped with:

  • Snorkeling gear

  • Paddle boards

  • Floating mats & noodles

  • Easy swim platforms for all ages

  • Freshwater showers


Onboard Comfort and Service

Throughout your trip, enjoy our open bar with tropical cocktails, cold beers, sodas, and juices. We also serve freshly prepared snacks or full meals, depending on your charter length — all made with local ingredients and love.

Relax in the shaded lounge, sunbathe on the trampolines, or sip your drink while soaking in the views — the experience is yours to shape.


Customize Your Private Charter

Whether you want a half-day morning tour, a sunset sailing adventure, or even a full-day escape, we tailor every charter to your preferences and group size. Our charters are ideal for:

  • Couples looking for a romantic experience

These beaches are accessible by boat or hidden trails, and offer a perfect setting for couples, photographers and nature lovers.

3. From a vantage point or luxury resort:

Located in the middle of the Guanacaste Conservation Area, north of Roca Bruja, it is a wave located far away, however, the epic trip is worth it, considering the quality of the surf, as well as the natural environment that surrounds the beach.

Few people venture to the area, which means that there are usually few surfers in the water, maybe or many times, no one but you.

– Drinks on board
– Rich, freshly prepared food
– Captain and crew

Departures:

Daily departures subject to availability. Advance reservations are recommended.

Private Surfing Charters to Ollie’s Point: A Remote Right-Hand Dream in Guanacaste

For surfers chasing the ultimate wave in a raw and untouched setting, Ollie’s Point (Potrero Grande) is a bucket-list destination. Tucked away in the far north of Guanacaste’s coastline—just north of Witch’s Rock—this legendary right-hander lies deep within the Guanacaste Conservation Area, one of the most ecologically significant and protected regions in Costa Rica. Accessed only by boat, Ollie’s Point is as remote as it is perfect, making private surfing charters the ideal way to reach this surf sanctuary.

The wave itself is a long, fast, and perfectly groomed right-hand point break that can deliver rides of up to 300 meters or more when the conditions line up. Best on a mid to high tide with a strong southwest swell and light offshore winds, Ollie’s Point offers glass-smooth walls, playful barrels, and long carving sections that are a dream for intermediate to advanced surfers. Its relatively narrow takeoff zone keeps the lineup uncrowded, especially for those arriving early on a private charter.

But the surf is only half the story. The journey to Ollie’s Point takes you along a stunning stretch of coastline lined with pristine beaches, towering cliffs, and lush forest, all part of the larger UNESCO-designated Guanacaste Conservation Area. It’s not uncommon to see dolphins riding the bow wake of your boat, manta rays gliding below the surface, or tropical birds overhead as you cruise through this untamed marine wilderness.

Private charters to Ollie’s Point typically depart from coastal hubs such as Tamarindo, Flamingo, Conchal, Playa Grande, Potrero, El Coco, Hermosa, Ocotal, and Papagayo. These exclusive boat trips offer early access to the break, flexible schedules, shaded seating, and knowledgeable local guides who know the tides and swells like the back of their hand. Many charters can also combine a surf session at Ollie’s Point with a stop at Witch’s Rock, making for an unforgettable dual-surf adventure in Costa Rica’s surf-rich northwest.

If you’re seeking uncrowded perfection, a flawless right-hand wave, and the chance to surf in one of the most remote and wild locations in Central America, a private surfing charter to Ollie’s Point is the ultimate escape.

Surfing Witch’s Rock, Guanacaste: A Barrel-Rider’s Paradise in the Heart of Nature

Nestled within the pristine Santa Rosa National Park in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, Witch’s Rock (Roca Bruja) is a legendary surf destination known worldwide for delivering fast, hollow, and perfectly peeling barrels. This iconic wave breaks off a massive volcanic rock that juts dramatically from the Pacific Ocean—making for an unforgettable visual backdrop as well as a marker for one of the best surf spots in Central America.

Witch’s Rock is most famous for its powerful, sandy-bottom beach break that offers consistent waves throughout the year. During the dry season (November to April), offshores powered by the Papagayo winds sculpt flawless barrels. In the rainy season (May to October), southern swells light up the break with more size and energy, offering world-class conditions for experienced surfers. The wave is fast, punchy, and often hollow, ideal for those who chase tubes and love technical riding.

But the magic of Witch’s Rock goes beyond just the waves. The area is surrounded by thousands of acres of untouched tropical dry forest, part of Santa Rosa National Park—one of Costa Rica’s oldest and most ecologically rich protected areas. As you approach the break by boat, you’re likely to see howler monkeys swinging in the trees, sea turtles swimming nearby, and the occasional osprey soaring overhead. The combination of epic surf and wild, remote nature makes Witch’s Rock not just a surf destination, but a full-blown adventure.

Daily boat trips to Witch’s Rock depart from a number of coastal towns in Guanacaste, including Tamarindo, Flamingo, Conchal, Playa Grande, Potrero, El Coco, Hermosa, Ocotal, and Papagayo. These charters are ideal for surfers looking to escape the more crowded breaks and score epic waves in a setting that feels completely off the grid.

Whether you’re a seasoned tube-hunter or just want to surf in one of the most naturally stunning environments on the planet, Witch’s Rock delivers the kind of surf experience that stays with you for life.
