A New Wave: The seafarers Bringing storytelling to the sea.

When I started sailing professionally back in 1994, the most high-tech piece of equipment we had onboard was the radar — maybe a CD player if we were lucky. Our days were long, hands-on, and deeply rooted in the fundamentals: seamanship, service, and keeping the yacht running smoothly. Documentati...

Great conservation news: French Polynesia has created one of the world’s largest conserved areas on the planet, which includes two fully protected areas that span nearly 900,000 square kilometers (350,000 square miles).

The new protections will benefit the region’s biodiversity and way of life. https://pewtrsts.org/3SL6ZOi

East Yachts Ltd team coming to you live and direct from the Galápagos Islands on the latest destination tour.
We will be here for the next month visiting all the amazing spots selected for us by our local agent. I’ll be photographing all the activities we, and what all the local charter yachts around us are doing and doing featured posts of yachts offering Galapagos tours.

The Osa Peninsula, located in the southwestern corner of Costa Rica, is one of the most biologically intense places on Earth—and its geological history is just as fascinating as its ecological one!

🌋 Geologic Formation
The Osa Peninsula was formed through a unique and powerful mix of tectonic collisions, volcanic activity, and oceanic uplift over millions of years. Here’s a simplified timeline of how it came to be:

1. Tectonic Collisions (Millions of Years Ago)
The peninsula sits at a geological hotspot where the Cocos Plate (an oceanic plate) is subducting beneath the Caribbean Plate.

This subduction zone has led to the rise of volcanic mountain ranges throughout Central America.

However, the Osa Peninsula has a more unusual story: much of its base was once part of the ocean floor!

2. Underwater Origins
What makes the Osa Peninsula especially unique is that it's composed in large part of oceanic crust—basalts, serpentine rocks, and deep-sea sediments.

This means that the Osa was not originally part of the continental landmass. Instead, it was formed from fragments of ancient oceanic islands and seamounts.

These fragments were scraped off the Cocos Plate as it subducted and were then accreted (essentially stuck) onto the edge of the continental crust.

3. Volcanic and Sedimentary Layers
Over time, volcanic activity contributed layers of lava and ash to the region, mixing with marine sediments to form the varied geology seen today.

The region also experienced uplift, pushing these ancient seafloor rocks above sea level and forming the rugged terrain of the peninsula.

4. Corcovado Basin
A key feature of the peninsula is the Corcovado Basin, a tectonic depression that helped trap sediment and created fertile conditions for rainforests to thrive.

🌱 A Landscape Shaped by Its Origins
Because of its oceanic and volcanic past, the Osa Peninsula is rich in minerals, biodiversity, and unique ecosystems. Gold deposits found here—especially near Drake Bay and Carate—attracted early settlers and prospectors.

Today, the Osa’s wild landscape, from Corcovado National Park to Golfo Dulce, reflects this dramatic geological history. It’s a living testament to the dynamic forces that continue to shape our planet.
