North Pacific sportfishing
Why fish from Marina Flamingo?
Flamingo fishing charters provide direct access to one of Costa Rica’s richest sportfishing regions. The continental shelf lies close to shore, while the Catalina Islands, Potrero Bay and rocky Guanacaste coastline create productive water for offshore and inshore fishing.
Families can enjoy a shorter coastal trip, while serious anglers can spend a full day pursuing billfish, tuna and dorado.
