Rent a yacht from Costa Rica to Panama.

1 Panama lies on the isthmus linking Central and Southern America and to this day still benefits of beautiful colonial remains. Known for the 82 kilometer long Panama canal which is essential for maritime trade, most of the country’s authenticity is due to its incredible nature; though less visited than its neighbour Costa Rica, Panama benefits an equally rich biodiversity. This tropical paradise is characterized by its volcanic mountains, diverse ecosystem home to several endangered species and last but not least beaches – with over 2 500 kilometers of coast which run along the Carribean Sea and Pacific Ocean thus offering a remarkable assortment of beaches.

To get the best of both worlds, your itineray will begin in Costa Rica – discover the Herradura beach; Isla Tortuga is a protected area with many islets; go river rafting in Pacuare River; Isla Del Cano is ideal for swimming with dolphins; explore the Corcovado National Park to meet its various species on the way to Sirena; Boquete is where you will arrive in Panama; Discover the largest island of Central America and go diving in Isla De Coiba; End your yacht charter in Puerto Jimenez.

We chartered a sailboat for a day for a family outing along the Riviera. Such a highlight of our trip! Gaelle was a wonderful captain and her team were incredible hostesses. I could not recommend this experience more!

I would highly recommend Arthaud Yachting for attentive concierge planning at any scale.

I wanted to create a special day on the water for our family and was happy to discover Loïc of Arthaud Yachting. Loïc immediately responded to my inquiry, asked me thoughtful questions, and then prepared a list of boating options, itineraries and costs. As I tailored our day and considered boat type, size, catering and activities, Loïc was always efficient in responding, and honestly impressed me that he took the time to read everything I wrote and make recommendations. I often expect people to miss a few of the details during busy times, so it came as a pleasant surprise to have him treat every aspect of our adventure with such care. The communication was excellent and timely, with everything going smoothly.

In addition, the day itself was perfect! We were delighted to join Captain Gaëlle and her Escapade crew for a relaxed day from the port in Nice, anchoring for an exceptional on-board lunch off the Iles de Lerins, with a final stop in Antibes. It was very easy to discuss routes and activities, and they were easily willing to make adjustments as needed to explore different areas.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time onboard the elegant and spacious Lagoon 560, visiting with the crew, learning many details about this special region, and left feeling as though we got exactly what we hoped from our day and more. We hope to return again!

We held a corporate event with Arthaud Yachting as part of Canne Datacloud Conference. They were truly exceptional from beginning to end. Polina, Hugo and the crew catered to every single request and communicated with me from beginning to end to ensure everything was to our satisfaction. The yacht itself was impeccable. If you're looking for high end service for a corporate event, I cannot recommend them enough.

Yagmur Tacar

We had a small wedding party in one of their catamarans in May 2026. Gabriele and all team were great at responding to our needs, answering questions thoroughly, and making necessary changes according to our wishes in the planning process. At the wedding day, all our guests loved the vibe of our captain François and his crew. They were smiling, chatty and made sure that our experience was the best throughout the night. They made sure that they followed all safety procedures while picking the best views and attending to each guest's needs. Food served on board was also delicious! We couldn't have imagined a better experience.
