Costa Rica by Private Yacht: A Journey into Wild Luxury

If you’re craving a destination that blends untamed beauty with barefoot luxury, a Costa Rica yacht charter offers an unforgettable escape. Here, lush rainforests tumble into the sea, wildlife outnumbers people, and your days are filled with discovery,  all from the comfort of your own private floating villa.

This is where raw nature meets refined adventure. It’s the perfect charter for those seeking meaningful connection, with loved ones, with nature, and with themselves.

When we talk about yacht charters in Costa Rica, we’re specifically referring to the country’s Pacific Coast, which offers the ideal combination of charter-ready infrastructure, calm cruising conditions, and breathtaking landscapes. While Costa Rica also has a Caribbean coastline, the Pacific side is where the majority of luxury yacht experiences take place, thanks to its protected bays, thriving marine life, and a greater range of high-end charter yachts and marinas. From the golden beaches of the Nicoya Peninsula to the wild, lush Osa Peninsula, this coastline was made for exploration by sea.

An Untouched Coastline Waiting to Be Explored

Unlike busier charter destinations, Costa Rica’s Pacific coast remains largely undeveloped, which means more space, more solitude, and more magic. From remote coves to wild beaches and island hideaways, the cruising grounds offer a new adventure every day. One moment you’re paddleboarding through a mangrove estuary teeming with scarlet macaws, the next you’re sipping sundowners on the deck as howler monkeys echo through the jungle canopy.

A Wildlife Lover’s Dream

Costa Rica is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world, and the best way to experience it is by sea. Snorkel with sea turtles and reef fish, spot dolphins racing alongside your yacht, or take the tender ashore to hike through tropical jungle alive with sloths, toucans, and tree frogs.

The Osa Peninsula, often called “the most biologically intense place on Earth”, is a highlight for nature lovers. Anchor off Drake Bay, explore Corcovado National Park, and end the day with a gourmet dinner aboard, surrounded by stars.

Surf, Snorkel, Soak It In

Whether you’re an adrenaline-seeker or a hammock enthusiast, Costa Rica delivers. Surf world-class waves in Santa Teresa, kayak along the Golfo Dulce, or snorkel the reefs near Isla Tortuga. Prefer to unwind? Let your private crew serve a fresh seafood lunch on a secluded beach while you relax under swaying palms.

With TCYC, every experience is customized, from yoga on deck to guided rainforest excursions, we craft your perfect pace and itinerary.

Local Flavor, Elevated

Costa Rican cuisine is a vibrant mix of fresh ingredients and bold flavors. Think grilled mahi-mahi with lime, tropical fruit platters, and ceviche made just hours after the catch. Your onboard chef curates every meal to your preferences, blending local flavor with elevated dining. Want to explore on land? Visit a beachfront cantina for a cold Imperial beer and tamarindo cocktails, or enjoy a private dinner under the stars at a jungle ecolodge.

When to Charter in Costa Rica

The best time to explore Costa Rica by yacht is during the dry season, from December to April, when seas are calm and skies are clear.

How to Get There

Most guests fly into Liberia (LIR) or San José (SJO). From there, your adventure begins, with our team coordinating every detail, including private transfers, pre-charter hotel stays, and provisioning for your yacht. You can embark from popular Pacific Coast departure points like the Gulf of Papagayo, the Nicoya Peninsula, or down south near Golfito, depending on your itinerary.
