Sailing from Papagayo

Why people come to Papagayo.

Marina Papagayo sits inside Bahía Culebra, which means protected water on the days the rest of the coast is lumpy, and a deep-water basin that takes boats most Costa Rican marinas cannot. It is the shortest run from an international arrival at Liberia to a line in the water or a drink on the foredeck, and it is where our catamarans and larger yachts are happiest.

Season: Calmest water December through April. Offshore sailfish run strongest May through September. Papagayo winds can blow hard December through March — we plan departures around them rather than pretending they aren't there.

Getting here: About 40 minutes from Liberia (LIR), or roughly 4.5 hours from San José. Tell us where you are staying and we will sort transport to the dock.

Departures: Marina Papagayo. You get the exact vessel, berth and meeting time in your written confirmation — we do not leave you wandering a marina at 5am looking for a boat name.

Based here

The Papagayo boats.

4 of our 8 vessels are home-ported at Marina Papagayo. Boats do move between marinas for multi-day and corporate work — ask and we will tell you what is possible.

Endeavour, an Ocean Club sailing catamaran under full sail off Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Endeavour

Sailing Catamaran

Four cabins, each with its own head, which makes Endeavour the boat for anyone who wants to stay out rather than come back at five. Sails properly too — this is not a motorboat with a mast on it.
