Mowana Sailing offers fully private sailing tous departing from Playa Flamingo, Guanacaste Costa Rica. Each trip is reserved exclusively for you—no strangers, no shared charters—just your group and our. French-Costa Rican crew aboard the *Mowana*, our renovated Buccaneer 33 trimaran.
Enjoy a private sailing tour on a fully renovated trimaran that delivers an unmatched sailing sensation—an experience far superior to that of a standard catamaran. You will enjoy an exceptional, safe time on the water, relaxing on the boat's spacious trampolines.
Three options, an unforgettable coastline
We offer three private sailing tours departing from Playa Flamingo: a morning half-day trip, a sunset half-day trip, and a full-day trip.
Start your day on the Pacific with a four-hour sail along the Flamingo coast. We stop at secluded snorkeling coves—such as Playa del Amor, Las Catalinas, or anchorages accessible only by sea. Dolphins often come to play at the boat's bow.
The Gold Coast at sunset is an unforgettable experience. You sail due west as the sky turns orange and red over the Pacific—glass in hand, sails billowing. It is the perfect choice for couples and groups looking to end the day in style.
The full Mowana experience. A full day of sailing, snorkeling, paddleboarding, fishing, and lounging on the nets as the coastline drifts by. Unlimited food and drinks included from departure until sunset.
All is included.
Each outing includes unlimited drinks (beer, rum, soft drinks, water), a fresh Costa Rican BBQ meal prepared on board, snorkeling gear, paddleboards, and fishing equipment. We sail using wind and solar power—no engine noise, just the sound of the ocean.
A unique trimaran in Guanacaste
The Mowana is a Buccaneer 33 trimaran—wider, more stable, and more comfortable than a standard catamaran. It features giant beanbags on deck, nets suspended over the water, and a layout designed for groups who want to truly kick back and relax. Up to 12 guests per trip.
Our captain, Jean-Luc, has been sailing these waters for over 30 years and speaks fluent French, English, and Spanish. Mowana is a family-run operation; every detail on board reflects 30 years of local expertise and a genuine love for this coastline.
