Experience the Ultimate Full Day on the Water
The definitive way to explore the Gulf of Papagayo. Eight unrushed hours combining world-class snorkeling, a freshly prepared lunch served on a private beach, water toys, paddleboards, and expert guidance across multiple hidden coves and secluded coastlines.
With complimentary pickup from the nearest water-accessible point to your hotel, you'll arrive refreshed and ready to explore. Our dedicated deckhand ensures premium service throughout the day—replenishing drinks, managing gear, and spotting wildlife above and below the waterline.
Turn your beach lunch into a celebration. Add a bottle of Dom Pérignon Vintage, chilled and poured on a private beach in the Gulf of Papagayo — perfect for honeymoons, birthdays, and milestone trips. Select it when you book or tell us on your pre-trip questionnaire.

Every charter is led by Captain Stephen, a licensed captain (Instituto Costarricense de Pesca y Acuicultura) who comes from a long line of captains and began helping his father on the water at age seven. He has lived in Playas del Coco for nearly 20 years and knows the Gulf of Papagayo's reefs, currents, wildlife, and — most importantly — its weather, so every trip is planned around the day's real conditions. He speaks fluent English and Spanish, and is learning French.
You'll be aboard our 2004 Pro-Line 23' Sport center console with a 250 HP Suzuki outboard, head (marine toilet), and shade. It's designed around groups of up to four guests, with a fifth guest available on request. Snorkeling equipment is always aboard. For the rest, you choose: stand-up paddleboards (two 10'4" and two 10'10"), a wakeboard, a 10-foot inflatable water hammock, and float noodles. Because space on the boat is limited, we'll send you a short questionnaire before your trip so we bring exactly what you want.
- Fully licensed & insured. Captain Stephen holds a valid INCOPESCA license, the boat is fully insured, and all required safety equipment is on board.
- We depart from the beach at Playas del Coco — guests wade a short distance through shallow water to reach the boat, which is standard for local charters. Wear water-friendly footwear for boarding. Marina pickup from Flamingo or Papagayo is available on request — contact us when booking.
- Up to 4 guests; a 5th guest can be accommodated on request. Captain plus one crew member.
- You should be comfortable in ocean conditions; this tour includes multiple snorkel sessions.
- Marina pickup and return available on request (Marina Flamingo to Marina Papagayo) — contact us when booking.
- Routes and stops may change due to weather, sea conditions, wildlife activity, or safety.
- Please tell us about any medical conditions, mobility limitations, allergies, or dietary needs when booking.
