Description
Set sail on a journey of discovery aboard KONTIKI WAYRA, a boutique expedition yacht designed for travellers who seek meaning in every mile. Cruising between Costa Rica and Panama, she offers an intimate and immersive way to experience Central America’s Pacific coast — where untouched rainforests, golden beaches, and vibrant cultures converge.
Each luxury yacht charter in Costa Rica aboard KONTIKI WAYRA is curated to reveal the region’s most authentic side: snorkel in the turquoise waters of Isla Tortuga, kayak through mangrove forests in Golfo Dulce, or visit the remote indigenous communities of Coiba and Pearl Islands. For the truly adventurous, optional expeditions to the legendary Cocos Island promise world-class diving among hammerhead sharks and marine life found nowhere else on earth.
Built in 2011 with sustainability at its core, KONTIKI WAYRA combines modern design with eco-conscious materials and locally inspired craftsmanship. Her interiors blend Costa Rican wood, natural fabrics, and elegant neutral tones, creating a refined yet grounded atmosphere. Spanning four decks, she accommodates up to 18 guests in nine convertible staterooms, each featuring panoramic windows, sustainable bedding, and hand-crafted décor.
Onboard amenities include a Jacuzzi, Organic Bar, and Chill Parlour, as well as a full spa and gym for wellness at sea. Her generous outdoor decks invite guests to dine beneath the stars or simply unwind as the coastline drifts by. A vast selection of water toys — including Seabobs, paddleboards, kayaks, a floating pool, and a 9-meter water slide — ensures every day brings new adventures.
An experienced crew of 13 and two expert naturalist guides curate tailor-made experiences, from sunrise yoga sessions to wildlife safaris and cultural immersions. On land, guests can explore tropical jungles, zipline through canopies, visit cacao plantations, or join local conservation programs.
In 2025, KONTIKI WAYRA underwent a series of enhancements, from teak upgrades and refreshed interiors to a new onboard Panamanian chef, elevating both comfort and culinary excellence.
With her seamless fusion of luxury, sustainability, and exploration, KONTIKI WAYRA redefines what it means to travel by sea — offering a transformative way to experience the heart of Costa Rica and Panama, where every voyage celebrates nature, culture, and connection.
