Private sailing from Four Seasons Papagayo

The Four Seasons Papagayo, on the beautiful Peninsula, is one of the most incredible hotels in Guanacaste.


It is located on a wooded peninsula, dramatic in topography, and has several beaches, including Playa Virador and Playa Blanca, which face opposite latitudes, but at the same time, are distanced by only a short distance of 160 meters.

The Papagayo Peninsula is one of the best places for sailing, as the waters are calm, and the geography and topography make for an abundance of small coves, islets and rocky reefs, which greatly enhances the sailing experience on a sailing catamaran.

Luxury Yachts in Guanacaste Costa Rica

Luxury Yachts in Guanacaste

The province has a fairly extensive fleet of yachts, however, the vast majority of them are sport fishing yachts.

Luxury Yachts
Contrary to the luxury boats and yachts that can be rented in the United States, Mexico or the Caribbean, in Costa Rica there are really very few or almost no motor yachts for leisure travel.

Costa Rica is more of a sailing destination for sailboats and sailing catamarans, largely because of the country’s image itself, which reflects sustainability and the environment.

Sailing catamarans

Guanacaste Sailing
As for sailing catamarans, we do have a good variety of sailboats and catamarans of different sizes and budgets, which operate different private tours, such as the half-day morning tour, the half-day afternoon tour, as well as the full-day tour.

The quality of the crews is equally high quality, and the captain, deckhands and service personnel on board are not only professional, but also customer service oriented, offering a perfect combination of activities such as snorkeling, paddle boarding and swimming as well as beverage service, meals and sound system for listening to music.

Sailing charters
Luxury and service

Contrary to what some people may think, catamarans offer the same facilities on board as a leisure yacht, even, they are to some extent, more spacious, ideal for group trips, families or even couples.

Some of the areas we serve are:

– Papagayo
– Hermosa Beach
– El Coco
– Ocotal

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.
