Sail the Gulf of Papagayo aboard a 2021 Lagoon 42 catamaran that's yours alone for the day — no other guests, no fixed schedule. Anchor in secluded bays reachable only by boat, snorkel in clear water, explore natural sea caves and cruise the mangrove river past Monkey Head Rock. Your bilingual crew handles everything: open bar with cocktails, beer and wine, snacks and fresh Costa Rican fruit, jet skis, paddleboards and fishing gear. We come to the beach where you're staying and collect you by dinghy (Gulf of Papagayo). For guests outside the Gulf, we can arrange private transport at an additional cost. Ideal for families and groups who want the boat to themselves.
