Costa Rica Boating

With miles of beautiful coastline along the country's Pacific coast, Costa Rica is a boaters paradise. Currently, there are a couple of ports and docking facilities along the coast. Los Sueños is the only international marina at this time. It boasts modern docking facilities including potable water, electricity, 24-hour security, mini-self- storage units, a state-of-the-art fuel station, a marine supply store, bar, restaurants and more.

Recently the Costa Rican Tourism Institute (ICT) approved new marinas in Quepos and the southern Pacific port of Golfito. The former is under construction; the latter will have more than 200 slips. A new marina is under construction in Flamingo in the north Pacific area, and the ICT is currently studying applications for 15 other marinas on the Pacific Coast.
