Guide to Costa Rica

Nestled between Nicaragua and Panama at the heart of Central America, Costa Rica serves as a perfect starting point for yacht charters in the Caribbean. However, with its stunning landscapes, fascinating wildlife and pristine coastlines of white sandy beaches and azure waters, the country is also ranked as one of the top yacht charter destinations in the Pacific.

As one of the most biodiverse destinations on the planet, Costa Rica is teeming with wildlife. Humpback whales, hammerhead sharks, turtles and dolphins can been frolicking in the translucent waters along the coast and iridescent coral abounds underwater to create no-end of spectacular reef diving and snorkelling opportunities.

Jutting off the southeast of Costa Rica is a mass of untrodden islets and tiny islands known as the Osa Peninsula. Here, desolate beaches are bordered by coastal rainforests, thriving with tropical birds and home to some of the world’s best natural white-water rafting rapids.   

Meanwhile in land, National Parks such Tortuguero hold the nesting grounds of green turtles and the famous Corcovado is home to the bellowing call of howler monkeys. Plus, dramatic volcanoes, steamy forests and deep river valleys create the perfect setting for adventure-fuelled activities such as hiking, zip wiring and rock climbing. Plus, Costa Rica is also world-renowned for its amazing surfing spots.
