Sailing Tours from Four Seasons Papagayo

 

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.

We have various sizes of catamarans, from 32 to 60 feet, and many of them have an indoor salon, up to 4 bedrooms, 2 to 4 bathrooms, a trampoline as well as outdoor and covered seating areas to protect from the sun.

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
– Riu
– Tamarindo
– Conchal
– Flamingo
– JW Marriott
– Las Catalinas

Best beaches in Guanacaste Costa Rica

The province of Guanacaste offers some of the most beautiful tropical beaches in Costa Rica.

Beaches in Guanacaste
This extensive region, which begins at the border with Nicaragua and ends almost at the southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula, has paradisiacal beaches, which are also very varied.

There are the small beaches, charming coves surrounded by rock, where there are perhaps only a few hundred meters of sand and then rocky reefs at both ends.


There are also the long, sandy beaches, up to several kilometers long.
There are white sand beaches, perhaps not as white as in Australia or the Caribbean, but with extremely beautiful and again varied light shades, with beige, off-white, gray tones, there are even some with pink sand.


Because of the volcanic origin of the country, we also have beaches with dark sand and even extremely black, such is the case of Playa Azul, which is extremely dark sand, but equally beautiful.

The area, easily accessible from the north, has a slightly different climate, as it is a little more humid, which means that there are more rivers and the forests are a little greener.
Surfing


The province is also known for its fantastic waves, a surfer’s dream.
These beaches also offer a very complete variety of wave types, both in origin, shape and speed.


The best known beach breaks in the province include Witchs Rock or Playa Naranjo, Grande, Avellanas, Callejones, Marbella.
