Boating in Guanacaste
Guanacaste, Costa Rica is a sun-drenched Pacific playground where golden shores meet tranquil bays and rugged headlands—an ideal setting for Guanacaste boating charters. Consistent weather and wide-open vistas create inviting conditions for days on the water, from relaxed coastal cruising to adventure-filled outings.
Out at sea, clear waters reveal colorful reef life, making snorkeling and swim stops a highlight. Depending on the season, it's possible to spot dolphins gliding alongside the bow and sea turtles surfacing near the boat, while dramatic cliffs and secluded coves invite unhurried exploration and beach picnics accessible only by water.
Popular launch points such as Playas del Coco, Playa Hermosa, Tamarindo, and the Gulf of Papagayo provide easy access to calm anchorages and scenic islands. Many itineraries include island-hopping around the Catalina Islands for snorkeling over rock pinnacles, or a leisurely coastal run to tucked-away beaches sheltered from the swell.
Choose from spacious catamarans for groups, classic sailboats for a laid-back tack along the coast, sleek motor yachts for quick hops between bays, or nimble ribs for shoreline sightseeing. Morning trips are perfect for glassy-water snorkeling, mid-day charters suit beach-hopping and paddleboarding, and late-afternoon departures deliver unforgettable Pacific sunsets as the coastline glows gold.
Whether you're planning a family-friendly day on the water, a photo-ready getaway with friends, or a romantic sail, Guanacaste boating charters make it simple to experience the region's standout scenery and marine life—comfortably, safely, and at your own pace.

Great Family Adventure!
Boating is great! Saw turtles, water because of the current this time of year is beautiful blue but not conducive to the best snorkeling(still fun)
- 5.0/5(Special 7 hour trip for Jessica Lord)
A great day!
I’ve never been on a sailboat before so the rocking and tilting of the ship with all of the wind was a little scary, but it’s completely normal so learning that made me more comfortable.

10/10 Highly recommend! Excellent communication and quick response!! Customer service was top tier! We had an absolute BLAST!! Everything went very smooth with our Captain and Co Captain!! The food and drinks were all good!
5.0/5(4 Hr – Friends & Family Snorkelling)Ola che🔥
We spent the whole morning fishing with my girlfriend and a couple of friends. Knowing next to nothing about fishing, I still managed to catch around 5 fish! The captain was incredibly attentive and even made sashimi for us with our catch. We also stopped at a beautiful beach with reefs, where we relaxed on inflatable loungers and went snorkeling while they prepared our food. The service was a solid 10/10! Not only a great captain, but a chef too! Thanks, Ola Che! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
5.0/5(Private Boat Tour Snorkel & Beaches)Boating with Alberto Alejandro
Alberto was awesome! Picked us up at the beach at the Andaz. He took me and my boys 6 and 8 on an adventure. First a cave from a story book then 2 snorkeling spots. We saw turtles, blow fish, needle fish etc! Also had great snack and drinks for us. He was very patient and great with kids. We did a 3 hour tour and it was perfect.

Highlight of our trip to Costa Rica!
We can’t recommend this boat tour enough! The crew is amazing, very attentive to all on board, including our 4 high energy children! We caught two fish, saw dolphins, snorkel, and swam in an almost secluded beach. Our lunch was delicious and the crew kept the drinks flowing! The cherry on top was the sunset view at the end of our trip. Book the susnset cruise, I promise you won’t regret it! Thank you again to the wonderful crew. You were all amazing! we will be back!

- 5.0/5(The Beautiful Sunset In Papagayo)
Really enjoyed this experience!
Captain Alberto was so much fun! He took us all over, stayed out longer than the tour to accommodate us and make sure we got to see everything, took us snorkeling and found sea turtles, dolphins, and monkeys! I even had a sea turtle swim right up to me! We brought our 15 month old son with us and he took us over to the monkeys! It was such a good time! Drinks and fruit were included! Thank You Alberto, you gave us an experience we will be talking about as a family for a lifetime!

- 5.0/5(Sunset Tour All Included)
Great Experience, Friendly Crew
We thoroughly enjoyed our private tour for four. Great boat. Had all the equipment for snorkeling, fishing, floating in the ocean. The crew was friendly, attentive and professional. Plenty of food and drink. Tour cut short by bad storm. Crew was great about safety and getting us back to the marina quickly. Highly recommend.
- 4.3/5(Midday escape. 10 am to 3pm)
Fun day on the water.
The captain and crew were great! We did a little fishing, a bit of snorkeling, some diving and swimming and relaxing on an inflatable deck off the back of the boat. Be aware that the boat is not docked in a marina, you have to take a small tender boat from the beach to board the boat. Might be difficult for very small children and definitely not for anyone disabled.
4.7/5(5 Hour – Sunset Signature Cruise)The captain and crew made sure we had the best experience despite a cloudy day
The weather was not our friend that day, but the crew made sure we had the best time possible, very attentive and kept us out of the rain as much as possible, would definitely do this trip again! Food was amazing!
- 5.0/5(Sunset Tour - Food & Open Bar.)
Amazing boat day in Costa Rica!
This was my favorite day of our 7 day trip in Costa Rica! I highly recommend this excursion to have a private boat day to do snorkeling, floating, exploring the beaches!
