Banana Bay
Marina is located at the edge of a beautiful tropical rainforest
in Golfito, Costa Rica. The town and marina sit in a natural, deep
draft gulf offering excellent protection from the swells of the
Pacific Ocean. Just north of Panama, it is an official point of
entry into and exit from Costa Rica.  Cruising
yachts find a safe haven in this beautiful location, and often extend
their visit. In addition, Banana Bay Marina is a full service sportfishing
center and provides services to sportfishermen as well as yachts
and sailboats in transit.
The Golfito area has a population of approximately 3,000 people,
and was at one point in history a true "Banana Republic." Up until
1985, Golfito served as the area headquarters for the United Fruit
Company. The town derives its architecture and culture from that
50 year association and it retains much of that rich flavor and
boasts inhabitants from many countries and cultures.
Access to most goods and services such as provisions, repair parts,
and travel services is readily available. Golfito has a large Duty
Free with the lowest prices in the country. Additionally it has
a hospital, seven day a week access to branch offices of the national
bank, and several fine restaurants.
Access by almost all modes of transportation is a breeze! Golfito
is served by two major commuter airlines with several regularly
scheduled flights daily to San Jose, Costa Rica's capital city.
Flying time is about 45 minutes. In addition, the staff in our travel
agency can book direct charter flights from San Jose and many other
points in Costa Rica.
Southern Costa Rica offers excellent ecotourist activities including
a major research facility of the Organization for Tropical Studies
and easy access to some of the world's most unique and biologically
diverse protected natural areas, such as Corcovado National Park
and the Golfito Wildlife Reserve. The zone also offers excellent
beaches and tropical rainforests with several lodges nearby offering
a break from the boat. Other popular activities include world class
surfing, horseback riding, spelunking, sportfishing, and kayaking.
