For the sports enthusiasts in your group, you can try your hand at sportfishing, something Playa Potrero is famous for. As the region is the sailfish capital of the world, Sentido Norte Restaurant is the perfect setting where you can delve into the local cuisine and experience the local culture first hand.

Samara is one of the many beautiful small beach towns in the Guanacaste province of Costa Rica and a perfect location to visit during your Costa Rica luxury yacht charter. It has a local vibe as well as plenty of boutique shops for those in your party that have a love for shopping which is supplemented by many delicious, yet healthy, food options, most notably L’Authentique. It plays host to the stunning and palm-tree-lined Samara beach, where you can relax, or beginners can try their hand at surfing the small waves. Isla Chora is about a mile from the beach and is a magnificent way of spending a few hours as you explore its vibrant and colourful coral reef. The more experienced divers can investigate the area’s shipwrecks where white tip reef sharks and snapper lay in wait, with a chance of hammerhead sharks and bull sharks also appearing. Malpais, an old fishing village turned surfer’s paradise, is 27 nautical miles south of Samara in the Puntarenas Province and, according to Forbes, is home to one of the top ten most beautiful beaches in the world (Santa Teresa's beach, its neighbour, also has a beach of equal calibre) . Surfing and snorkelling in Malpais or the neighbouring Santa Teresa gives you hours of fun or, if you are looking for something different, you can trek to the famous Montezuma Waterfalls where you can dive off a 50 foot waterfall or swim in the tranquil pool of a lesser neighbour.
