Why Costa Rica is the next yacht hotspot
The beauty of exploring Costa Rica by superyacht is the access to the untouched. The North Pacific Coast offers unmatched views, abundant marine life and incredible diving opportunities. Guanacaste is one of the least populated areas of Costa Rica, and home to the enchanting dry forest for those seeking some time on terra firma. Meanwhile, the South Pacific Coast offers glistening rainforests and the rugged beauty of the Osa Peninsula – proudly holding the enviable title of “one of the most biologically intense places on Earth” by National Geographic. This is why Costa Rica is the next hotspot destination for yachts.

People often ask how we have such an encyclopaedic knowledge of the world we share. Travelling extensively to all corners of the globe not only gives us firsthand knowledge to report back on, but also the chance to meet like-minded adventurers, artists, explorers and entrepreneurs along the way – people who, like us, think beyond borders and imagine the unimaginable.
To design memorable and meaningful travel experiences, we work with an intricate network who live and breathe the places they call home. It’s not just a breathtaking location that inspires us, it is also the people behind it who really help bring the experience to life.
