Private Sunset Snorkeling & Fishing Charter: Costa Rica Open BarA private yacht charter in Costa Rica where you snorkel, fish and swim during a four-hour sunset sail with a captain and crew aboard. The boat holds up to 20 guests, includes snorkeling and fishing gear, a full open bar, lunch and snacks. You choose the departure time and which beaches or islands to visit from options around Tamarindo, Playa Grande, Playas del Coco and nearby coastlines.Is it for me?Book this charter if you want to control the day — the boat, the timing, the destination and who's on board. A private yacht means no strangers, no fixed itinerary and no compromise on where the captain takes you or how long you stay at each stop.
Playa Flamingo: 48ft Yacht with Snorkeling & Water SportsYou board a fully equipped 48ft catamaran in Playa Flamingo and choose your own mix of snorkeling, fishing, waterskiing, wakeboarding, or tubing over four hours. A naturalist guide and crew handle the boat and gear while you set the pace. Beer, wine, snacks, and all equipment are included; you return when the time is up.Is it for me?Right for families or groups who want flexibility over a fixed itinerary — you pick snorkeling, fishing, water sports, or a mix, and the crew adjusts the boat's route and pace to match. Plan for four hours on the water; that's the window, and it's what lets you fit multiple activities without rushing.
Fishing and Snorkeling Combo on Costa Rica's Pacific CoastA fishing and snorkeling combo on Costa Rica's North Pacific coast pairs inshore trolling for rooster fish, tuna, jacks and snapper with exploration of secluded snorkeling spots accessible only by boat. You board the 28-foot Beluga at 7:00 a.m., fish the waters near Las Catalinas Island, then move to pristine reef sites where resident tropical fish—parrotfish, triggerfish, angelfish, puffers—are the draw. A bilingual guide leads both halves; fishing and snorkeling gear, bottled water, snacks, tropical fruits, juices and beer are included. The trip returns to shore at 11:30 a.m.Is it for me?Book this if you want both fishing and snorkeling in one morning without splitting your day between two separate trips. The shared boat and fixed schedule mean you are with a small group of other anglers and swimmers, all moving through the same two activities on the same timeline.

Guanacaste: Catamaran Snorkel Cruise & Waterslide LunchYou’ll cruise Guanacaste’s coast by catamaran with a local guide, watch for dolphins and sea turtles, snorkel in warm Pacific water, try the wild Tsunami slide (if you’re brave), then relax with grilled fish lunch and tropical drinks before heading back salty-haired and sun-happy.
Playa Flamingo: Catalina Islands Snorkeling & Two Dive SitesYou get two separate snorkeling sessions at Catalina Islands with all gear provided, spotting sharks, rays, and reef fish among rock formations. Hotel pickup is included, and the morning timing means you're back by midday. Bring a towel and sunscreen — the boat provides water and snacks.Is it for me?Right for snorkelers who want two separate reef sites in one morning without arranging transport or renting gear separately. The early 7:30am start is what gets you to the islands when visibility is best and the boat traffic is light.
Flamingo Beach: Small Group Sunset Sail with Snorkeling & LunchYou’ll leave Playa Flamingo behind on a relaxed 50ft yacht with just 13 guests, sharing laughs with your local crew as you snorkel quiet coves and enjoy fresh lunch with an open bar.
