Costa Rica has transformed from a beach lover’s paradise into a true nautical haven—a place where the ocean becomes part of daily life. With breathtaking coastlines, world-class infrastructure, and exclusive services, Costa Rica is now a top destination for yacht owners, sportfishing enthusiasts, and high-profile travelers who want a lifestyle where the sea is always in view.
⚓ World-Class Marinas, Communities with Purpose
Along Costa Rica’s stunning Pacific coast, seven marinas welcome visitors and locals alike, each offering much more than just a place to dock a yacht. They’re vibrant communities, hubs for luxury real estate, and gateways to unforgettable experiences.
Here’s a glimpse into Costa Rica’s nautical jewels:
- Marina Los Sueños (Playa Herradura, Puntarenas)
- Marina Pez Vela (Quepos, Puntarenas)
- Marina Papagayo (Gulf of Papagayo, Guanacaste)
- Marina Flamingo (Playa Flamingo, Guanacaste)
- Marina Bahía Golfito (Golfito, Puntarenas)
- Marina Banana Bay (Golfito, Puntarenas)
- Marina Bahía del Coco (in development – El Coco, Guanacaste)
Each marina has its unique identity. Los Sueños is the epitome of nautical lifestyle with a vibrant community and championship golf course. Flamingo Marina sits against one of Costa Rica’s most iconic beaches, offering modern luxury. Papagayo blends high-end hospitality with pristine natural surroundings, while Golfito in the south Pacific is emerging as a new hotspot for tranquility and adventure alike.
At Playas del Coco, Guanacaste, the country’s next major marina development is underway—a project that will feature 299 slips, modern commercial spaces, and significant impact on tourism and real estate.
These marinas are more than places to berth yachts; they’re catalysts for high-value real estate, hospitality, and commercial developments. For investors and ocean lovers alike, they represent the ultimate gateway to a lifestyle connected to the sea.
