The catamaran slips away from the marina, rigging whispering as the Pacific horizon opens. On a clear morning the light slides across a 50-foot deck and onto the white sand of Playa Fantasia, a low-key beach that feels a world from the highway. Guests step ashore to warm sand and a shallow reef that asks to be explored; gulls and frigatebirds wheel overhead, the surf nudging at your ankles.

This stretch of Costa Rica’s Central Pacific has long been shaped by fishing and maritime trade; more recent marina development brought sportfishing and luxury charters, but many coves remain protected by offshore reefs and seasonal currents. Geologically, the coastline here is volcanic and uplifted coastal plain—rockier headlands frame benches of sand and pockets where coral and fish gather.
Culturally, the trip passes working harbors and family-run beach clubs where local cooks prepare ceviche and grilled skewers. The crew operates this private, seven-hour charter from Jaco/Los Sueños, combining breakfast, snacks, a full lunch, and both nonalcoholic and alcoholic drinks with snorkeling gear included.
Practical guide: plan for sun and splash—reef-safe sunscreen, hat, and a lightweight cover are nonnegotiable. If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication before boarding; the crossing can be lively depending on wind. Mobility is limited at some beaches—expect steps and sand access rather than ramps. Confirm pickup if you’re outside Jaco/Los Sueños zones and bring ID if you’ll drink. For wildlife, keep cameras ready but hands off marine life; leave only footprints on the beach and take any trash back to the marina.
