Costa Rica: The Gold Coast Charter Itinerary

Costa Rica: The Gold Coast Itinerary

Costa Rica: The Gold Coast Yacht Charter
A week along Costa Rica’s Pacific Gold Coast, a route of crushed-shell beaches, coral reserves and tropical fjords teeming with life. From Islas Huevos to the biodiverse Golfo Dulce, this is pura vida cruising at its finest. Expect scarlet macaws and nesting turtles, some of the clearest water on the coast and rich rainforest reserves, a warm and rewarding voyage.

Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain to a quieter anchorage. What follows is one considered way to read it; the rest we tailor to you.
Day 1

Islas Huevos

Begin at Islas Huevos, with its lush green forests and pristine white beaches, the perfect place to start. Anchor off the sand, snorkel the clear water, and settle into the tropical rhythm.
Day 2

Papagayo

Cruise to the Papagayo Peninsula, an eleven-mile oasis of tropical adventure and sheltered bays. Interact with the local wildlife, swim in a golden cove, and take to the yacht’s toys.
Day 3

Playa Conchal

Sail to Playa Conchal, an amazing crushed-shell beach home to some of the clearest water on the Gold Coast. Snorkel the reef, laze on the unusual sand, and swim in the turquoise shallows.
Day 4

Tortuga Island

Cruise to Tortuga Island, widely regarded as one of the most beautiful anchorages on the central Pacific coast. Anchor in the turquoise bay, snorkel the reef, and laze on the white sand.
Day 5
