Offshore Trips for Every Angler

If you dream of billfish, our offshore charters put you on productive water fast. Boats target blue marlin, black marlin, striped marlin, sailfish, big mahi mahi, and giant yellowfin tuna. For those new to offshore fishing or traveling with family, our captains provide a friendly experience that keeps everyone comfortable and excited throughout the day. You can explore our offshore fishing page and learn more about what to expect on bluewater trips.

Top Destinations in Costa Rica

Fishing Costa Rica covers all the major hotspots. Jaco and Los Sueños remain two of the most consistent areas for both offshore and inshore action. Quepos offers access to Marina Pez Vela and some of the best sailfish months of the year. Northern destinations like Tamarindo and Flamingo deliver seasonal marlin, roosterfish, and big dorado. In Papagayo you get calm bays with great offshore access. In the south, Golfito and Puerto Jimenez offer multi-day FAD and seamount adventures for anglers looking for trophy blue marlin.

Inshore Fishing Adventures

Inshore fishing is perfect if you want action close to the coastline. Roosterfish are one of the most popular species in Costa Rica, and our captains know the right live bait and the exact structure where these powerful fish feed. Inshore anglers can also expect snapper, grouper, jacks, mackerel, and other hard-fighting species. For more information about techniques and locations, visit our inshore fishing page.
