Costa Rica is a world leader in tropical fishing vacations. Anglers on their first visit are always amazed by the quantity and size of the fish in the warm, deep waters off both coasts. Plenty of jacks, wahoo, yellow-fin tuna, tarpon, snappers and roosterfish are ready to grab the hook and battle with anglers until one becomes the conqueror and the other the conquered.

Costa Rica’s tropical waters attract anglers from across the globe to catch record numbers of sailfish, blue marlin, striped marlin, roosterfish, snapper and huge tunas off the Pacific coast. Costa Rica holds 40 line test records, 24 fly rod records and 21 all-tackle records – a total of 85 International Game Fish Association world records. Line test records include a 162-pound blue marlin and a 111-pound Pacific sailfish.

We can arrange any type of fishing anywhere in the country, whether on the Pacific or Caribbean coast or inland waters such as Lake Arenal at the base of the picturesque and active Arenal Volcano. The itinerary that follows is one of our most popular one-day fishing excursions off the Pacific coast.

One-Day Pacific Coast Sport Fishing Excursion: Quepos and Manuel Antonio

Our Sport Fishing is based in the small fishing village of Quepos, on Costa Rica’s central Pacific coast, near Manuel Antonio National Park, one of the most popular parks in Costa Rica. Manuel Antonio, with its great swimming beaches and abundant jungle wildlife, is often referred to as the “Jewel of the National Park System”. Clients from the United States, Canada, Europe and other parts of the world have enjoyed our superior sport fishing trips and plenty of exciting catches. We work with one of the best-managed sport fishing charter companies in the area, respected by international anglers for their catch-and-release policy that ensures no marine life is killed unnecessarily. We offer half-day and full-day charters as well as customized multi-day trips geared toward the interests of the client. Both inshore and offshore trips are available.

The boats have a full cabin, fighting chairs, GPS, marine toilet, Penn international reels, ultrasonic fishfinder, tower outriggers, marine radio and coast guard safety equipment. All captains and first mates have years of experience in catch-and-release sport fishing, and are intimately familiar with the waters off Costa Rica’s Pacific coast. They are skilled in the art of conventional fishing and specialize in offshore fly and light-tackle big game fishing. They have the knowledge and experience to quickly transport anglers to where the big fish are biting.
