Craig Smith, Captain at Aqua Vida Sailing

Experience the pinnacle of coastal indulgence with Aqua Vida Sailing, the premier provider of private boat tours in Playa Flamingo, Costa Rica. Led by the seasoned expertise of Captain Craig Smith—who brings over 20 years of maritime experience—our charters offer an intimate escape into the Pacific’s turquoise waters. Whether you are seeking a serene sunset or an adrenaline-filled afternoon, our all-inclusive luxury boat charters are meticulously designed to provide families and small groups with a world-class nautical adventure.


Step aboard our sleek, 38-foot Gemini Catamaran, a state-of-the-art vessel built in 2019 and powered by reliable twin Yanmar diesel engines. Unlike crowded public tours, we strictly limit our capacity to 15 guests, ensuring an airy, spacious environment where you can relax in total comfort. Our catamaran features a versatile open-concept layout, offering the perfect balance of sun-drenched lounging areas and cool, shaded seating. With a premium sound system pumping music throughout the deck, there is even plenty of room to dance as we cruise at a peaceful 5 knots.


As a top-rated snorkeling and fishing charter in Playa Flamingo, we provide high-quality gear for all ages and skill levels. Our flexible itinerary allows us to scout the best hidden coves based on daily conditions, ensuring the clearest waters for underwater exploration. For those who want to feel the tug of the deep, we include professional rods, reels, tackle, and even your fishing license, giving you the chance to catch fresh seafood right off the deck.


Your comfort is our priority, which is why every private tour features an open bar stocked with beer, wine, and spirits, alongside a variety of delicious refreshments. Savor a spread of fresh tropical fruits, gourmet chips, and dips, or enjoy a signature dish served straight from our onboard grill. For guests looking for a bespoke culinary experience, we offer customizable meal upgrades to suit any palate. From the moment you step on board, our friendly and professional crew is dedicated to making this the absolute highlight of your Costa Rican vacation.


We recommend guests bring hats, sunscreen, and polarized sunglasses to fully enjoy the tropical rays. From the flexible destination choices to the personalized service of a private crew, we invite you to discover why we are the gold standard for luxury catamaran tours in Playa Flamingo.
