Hooked on Adventure

Your Next Big Catch is Just a Boat Ride Away

Embark on an unforgettable fishing adventure along the pristine waters of Costa Rica’s South Pacific, where both coastal and deep-sea fishing await. From the calm inshore waters of Golfo Dulce to the thrilling open ocean, our fishing charters cater to every angler’s dream, whether you’re seeking the adrenaline rush of big game fishing or the satisfaction of coastal catches.


Our fleet ranges from nimble 21-foot boats to a luxurious 60-foot yacht, each crewed by an experienced captain and skilled crew, ensuring that your experience is both safe and exhilarating. We accommodate groups of up tp 3 to 6 anglers depending on the boat, welcoming people of all experience levels—whether you’re a seasoned pro or trying fishing for the first time.

The South Pacific waters are teeming with life, offering a variety of hard-fighting species.
Inshore, challenge the powerful roosterfish or test your skills against snook and snapper.
Offshore, the thrill of chasing billfish, such as Pacific sailfish, is unmatched, and the waters are rich with mahi-mahi, yellowfin tuna, wahoo, and amberjack. For those seeking the ultimate catch, our FAD trips target the magnificent blue, black, and striped marlins.

We pride ourselves on using top-of-the-line fishing gear, from premium rods and reels to specialized tackle, ensuring you’re fully equipped to handle the toughest species. Whether you’re trolling for billfish or casting for tuna, we provide all the necessary equipment to make your trip successful.

In addition to providing an exceptional fishing experience, we are committed to responsible fishing practices. Our crew offers expert guidance on catch-and-release techniques, helping to preserve the rich marine ecosystem of Costa Rica for future generations.

If unforeseen circumstances arise, such as a flight cancellation, illness, or inability to travel to Costa Rica, rescheduling may be possible based on the availability of the boat on alternative dates. However, please note that no-shows will result in the forfeiture of the full deposit.

Fishing charters are subject to favorable weather conditions for safety and enjoyment. In the rare event that the captain cancels the tour due to poor weather, you will have the option to either reschedule for an alternative date or receive a full refund. Please be aware that the rainiest months, from September to November, often bring higher waves and more challenging sea conditions. We always prioritize your safety and comfort when making decisions about weather-related cancellations.
