Royal Charters Costa Rica

Tours & Activities in Playa Flamingo, Guanacaste, Costa Rica.

Royal Charters Costa Rica offers private yacht charters and private catamaran tours from Playa Flamingo in Guanacaste. Crewed excursions also reach Playas del Coco, Tamarindo, Langosta, and the Papagayo Peninsula on Costa Rica’s Pacific coast. The published boat is a 51-foot Leopard power yacht, and the charters are all-inclusive.

Morning, sunset, and full-day trips are the three private formats. A captain, first mate, and chef come with the yacht. Snorkeling gear, paddleboards, and a stocked bar are included. The operator presents the day as time with family and friends on Costa Rica’s Gold Coast, with beaches, coastal scenery, marine life, local cuisine, and water sports among the attractions.

The private yacht

The rental is for one party. It is not a seat on a shared cruise with a rotating guest list. The 51-foot Leopard is a power yacht, and the same service is also described as a catamaran tour. Both names point to this Flamingo-based private charter.

Royal Charters calls this the premier yacht charter in Costa Rica and offers it as a luxury yacht rental. Behind that language, the concrete package is the private 51-foot Leopard, a captain, first mate, and chef, and an included bar with snorkeling gear and paddleboards.

All-inclusive here means the crewed yacht, the stocked bar, and the listed water gear travel with the booking. The chef is aboard, so food service is staffed on the private day. On the sunset charter, fresh local hors d’oeuvres are served at the beach arrival. That hors d’oeuvre note is written for sunset, while the chef and the bar belong with the private charter as a whole.

Sunset hours, price, and beaches

Sunset is marked most popular. It is listed from $2,500, runs five hours, welcomes all ages, and takes up to 35 people. Those figures are the sunset charter’s own card. They are the price, length, age note, and capacity published in detail for this operator.

The sunset arrival is one of five Guanacaste beaches: Honeymoon Beach, Zapotal, Brumel Island, Guacamaya Beach, or Playa Conchal. At that stop the crew serves the hors d’oeuvres, and the group can snorkel, paddleboard, swim, or float on a giant party mat. The five names are alternative shores for that arrival, not a chain of landings inside the same five hours.

Thirty-five guests is the sunset maximum on this yacht. A large celebration can use that ceiling. A smaller party takes the same five-hour plan with more open deck around the boards and the mat. All ages means children may join the sunset charter. The maximum is capacity, not a number the group has to fill.

Honeymoon Beach, Zapotal, Brumel Island, Guacamaya Beach, and Playa Conchal are the only sunset shores written by name. A group with a favorite among them can name that beach when reserving the five-hour charter. Playa Conchal also sits near W Conchal and Westin Conchal on the wider service list, so a Conchal stay and a Conchal beach stop can be paired when sunset is the format.

Morning and full-day rentals

Morning and full day are the other private rentals. They use the same style of crewed yacht rather than a second published boat. Morning is the shorter daytime format. Full day is the longest of the three named charters. Only sunset prints five hours, a starting price of $2,500, an all-ages note, and a 35-person maximum.

Captain, first mate, chef, snorkeling gear, paddleboards, and the stocked bar remain part of these private trips. The five-beach arrival and the hors d’oeuvres paragraph sit on the sunset description. A morning or full-day booking is its own reservation, with its own timing, rather than an automatic copy of the sunset card.

One departure belongs to one party. Reserving morning, sunset, or full day is a choice of which private block to take. It is not a set of boats leaving together under one group reservation. A shorter morning block is an option when the rest of the day is already spoken for. The full-day rental is the option when the yacht should hold the main hours.

Where the yacht can start

Playa Flamingo is the base. Published service also covers the Papagayo Peninsula, Playas del Coco, Tamarindo, and Langosta. Named points in that service include Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton, Waldorf Astoria, Playa Hermosa, W Conchal, Westin Conchal, Riu Palace, and Riu Guanacaste.

Those names help a group already staying on this coast. Papagayo resort properties sit at the northern end of the list. Playas del Coco and Playa Hermosa are the other northern service points. W Conchal and Westin Conchal sit beside the Conchal shore. Tamarindo and Langosta, including the two Riu properties named by the operator, are the southern points.

A private charter uses one start for the party. Flamingo remains the home base when that is where everyone is staying. A stay at one of the named hotels or beaches is a reason to book service in that area. The service map runs from the Papagayo Peninsula through Flamingo to Tamarindo and Langosta, so the start should match the coast where the group already is.

Water gear, meals, and the bar

Snorkeling gear and paddleboards are included on the charter. Sunset also names swimming and the giant party mat once the yacht reaches the beach. Boards are there for guests who want to stand on the water. The mat is there for an easy float. A mask and snorkel are there for a look beneath the surface at the stop. Each of these is part of the yacht day, not a separate activity ticket.

The stocked bar means drinks are included in the charter. Sunset adds fresh local hors d’oeuvres at the beach. With a chef aboard, food service is part of how these private trips are staffed, alongside the local cuisine the operator highlights. A hat, sun protection, and a light layer are sensible things to bring on a bright Pacific boat day.

Some guest comments describe a friendly crew, music, a good lunch, snorkeling, a quiet beach, and dolphins or turtles on a particular outing. Those comments show the kind of day some parties had. Sightings are not a fixed item on the charter the way the crew, the bar, and the sunset beach arrival are.

Fitting the day together

The booking that lines up with the published offer is a private departure on the 51-foot Leopard, taken as morning, sunset, or full day. Sunset is the format with the printed price, the five-hour length, the all-ages note, and the guest maximum, plus one beach from the five named shores. Morning and full day are the other lengths of that same private yacht day.

Place the start inside the published map: Flamingo as the base, or Papagayo, Playas del Coco, Playa Hermosa, the Conchal hotels, Tamarindo, or Langosta when the group is already there. Keep the party on one start, and keep a sunset group inside the 35-person maximum, with fewer guests if open deck around the boards and the mat matters. That match of format, coast, and party size is the practical way to reserve the charter.
