If you can’t wait to hear the reel screaming as you battle big Roosterfish, Billfish, and other exciting species, you have found the right place. CR Fishing Charters invites you to explore the beautiful Playa Flamingo from the comfort of your own boat.

Their boat, the "Riviera" 38’ can comfortably accommodate you and up to 9 fishing buddies for a fun day on the water. She is outfitted with electronics, modern technologies, and professional accessories to save your time while searching for the big one.

Riviera can provide you with plenty of space and shade. As you ride across the waves, you won’t feel those bumps at all!  Inside, you will also find a private bathroom, which is a much-needed thing when spending your day on the water.

CR Fishing Charters has it all when it comes to fishing gear, including Shimano Tiagra tackle, outriggers, downriggers, and other equipment to put you on fish. You will be able to target whatever patrols the inshore waters or venture up to 26 miles out.

On your day out, you will have an opportunity to tick as many fish species off your personal angling bucket list as possible. Think of Marlin, Sailfish, Grouper, Red Snapper, Roosterfish, Spanish Mackerel, Amberjack, Sailfish, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, Marlin, Tuna, and many more!

You will be provided with everything you need to make a great catch possible.

3/4 Day Trip

Great boat and experience for whole family!

VERIFIED

Fished with whole family, 8 people ranging from grandparents to our youngest who is 8, and we were on our first sailfish with in minutes of setting lines out. We have already recommended these guys to people where we are staying in the area. The crew was attentive and tried their best to keep us on fish. They were extra attentive to our needs from food/drinks and comfort. Boat was well taken care of both inside the cabin and on deck. We have fishing CR before as well as many many other locations. This was a great trip and experience for everyone. Highly recommend this charter if you are in the area!

Crew and boat well equipped and friendly. Request was for billfish and other palegics. Released sail within 1hr then had to head in due to kids getting sick. With lots of time left on the clock, would have liked the Captian to offer inshore options to make the most of the full day payment. I do recommend them though it was obvious we would have released more sails and had a great chance for some eatable fish! Pura Vida

VERIFIED

Booked CR Fishing Charters based on the reviews and quality pictures and description of the equipment. Boat and crew are both great. Weather was a factor so the ocean was rough that day. The crew worked hard to put us on fish while fighting big waves. Hindsight, I should have inquired about a 1/2 or 3/4 day of bottom-fishing that may have yield ed better results.
