JW Marriott Private Sailing Tours

Private Sailing Tours from JW Marriott

JW Marriott Guanacaste is an exceptional beachfront resort. Departing directly from the hotel for a private sailing tour is not always the best option. For this reason, we highly recommend that guests staying at JW Marriott Guanacaste depart from nearby, safer boarding locations to enjoy the best possible JW Marriott Private Sailing Tours.

Where your sailing tour starts in JW Marriott

We recommend alternative departure points for JW Marriott Sailing Tours. The primary reason is safety and comfort during boarding. Playa Mansita, the beautiful beach located in front of the JW Marriott, is not ideal for direct catamaran or sailboat boarding. Below are the main factors to consider:

Open beach conditions: Playa Mansita does not have a protected bay or natural harbor. Waves can be unpredictable, and the seabed drops off quickly near the shoreline.
Seasonal surf and swell: During certain times of the year—particularly from December to April—Pacific swells can make it unsafe or impractical for catamarans to approach the beach.
No marina or pier: Without a dock or fixed boarding point, passengers would need to board using a small dinghy, which can be uncomfortable and risky when surf conditions are strong.

For these reasons, direct beach boarding is not recommended and may lead to delays, cancellations, or reduced comfort.

Guests staying at JW Marriott Guanacaste can enjoy a far superior private sailing experience—safer, smoother, and more memorable from start to finish when boarding in another location.
