A Luxurious Escape to Costa Rica

Some of our BGYB brokers recently had the opportunity to step aboard the 99m CHRISTINA O for a familiarisation trip in Costa Rica. This experience allowed them to explore the yacht’s layout, amenities, and services while following part of a charter itinerary. With 17 cabins accommodating up to 34 guests and a crew of 40, CHRISTINA O offers a well-balanced mix of space, service, and comfort. The brokers experienced the on-deck bars, jacuzzi, pool, and spa, gaining first-hand insight into the yacht’s guest experience. By stepping into the client’s perspective, they developed a deeper understanding of the yacht’s operations, key destinations, and what makes CHRISTINA O a sought-after charter option.
