Four Seasons Papagayo Morning Sailing | Ganacaste Costa Rica

Private morning half day sailing from Four Seasons Papagayo in Guanacaste.

Our 4 hour am charter combines sailing, beach, snorkeling and paddle boarding from Four Seasons.

Sailing Four Seasons Papagayo

The private tour departs from the beach at Four Seasons Papagayo aboard our sailing catamaran or luxury yacht.

We pick up guests directly on the beach, and there is no need to move to any pier or marina nearby.

Once on board, our crew will welcome you, and will be attentive throughout the charter. It is important to know that our crew has been evaluated as the most accommodating, attentive, knowledgeable crew in Papagayo and Guanacaste in general, which is very important.

During our private morning tour several activities are included, among them anchoring near a reef or beach for snorkeling, paddle boarding, fishing with the canoes that the catamarans carry and visiting a remote and beautiful beach, where you can go down and swim calmly in the sea.

During the whole tour on the catamaran, drinks are included, light meals of good quality and our clients can play the music they want.

Dolphins and whales

While dolphins are seen all year round, during the months of August, September and October whales can also be seen, especially humpback whales, and since our tours are tailor-made, during those months a special focus can be made on trying to find them.

Private Sailing am includes:

– Drinks

– Light meals

– Snorkeling

– Paddle Boards

– Visit a remote beach

Four Seasons Papagayo

The Four Seasons Papagayo is one of the most luxurious hotels in Papagayo and all of Guanacaste. It is located on a narrow peninsula, which still retains much forest cover of dry tropical forests, as well as several beaches, the most popular of which are Playa Virador and Playa Blanca.

Four Seasons Papagayo Hotel

The waters of the Papagayo Peninsula and the Gulf of Papagayo, where the hotel is located, make for an ideal and unforgettable sailing experience.

Diving and Sailing Tours in Guanacaste

Catamaran and Sailing charters with Scuba Diving Tours included

Scuba Diving Murcielago

In some of our catamarans and sailboats, we have the possibility to carry dive gear. Since we also own a Dive Shop near Papagayo, Guanacaste, and have a knowledgeable scuba diving crew, it has become quite common to combine a private sailing charter with two tank dives, both at the local dive sites or even in the famous Catalina Islands and also the Murcielago Islands.

Equipment on the catamaran

One of our catamarans in particular, which is the one we use for overnight dive tours to Cocos Islands, comes with Tank Racks and Dive platform. Therefore, it is perfect in case some members of the group are PADI or NAUI certified and wish to dive while the other clients maybe snorkel around a rocky pinnacle or a rocky reef more suited for snorkeling.

The immersions have an additional cost, but they are below the regular 2 or 3 tank dives when booked along with the charter.

Best sailing and diving destination combined

One of the famous dive sites is Murcielago Island, which is part of the Guanacaste Conservation Area. While quite far away from the developed coast of Guanacaste, it is a must to book the overnight sailing tour in order to dive there. We also recommend to book 3 tank dives ( 2  OR 3 ) in order to make the most of this fantastic dive destination. The Murcielago Islands are world famous for a good visibility, absolutely unspoiled environment, and large schools of big fish, including large Manta Rays, large Bull Sharks in the outer islands and large schools of coral and oceanic fish in general. Fishing has been forbidden near the islands for decades, therefore, a very healthy environment is present.

Other local dive sites can be quite good, and are ideal for divers when they only book a half day sailing charter of the full day sailing charter. Local 2 tank dives can be booked additionally during of after booking our catamaran.
