If you are looking for the dream fishing trip in Costa Rica, Sea Star CR is the charter company for you. The all-inclusive trips they offer have something for everyone. Whatever your experience level, and whatever you want to do on your trip, these guys will make your fishing dreams come true.

If you want to fish 40 miles offshore for big game, the captain will get you there. After catching a delicious Mahi Mahi or Tuna, the crew can prepare them immediately on board – there has never been fresher ceviche or sashimi!

If you are looking to battle Roosterfish instead, he will happily take you to those waters instead. This fish is strictly catch and release, so have your camera ready. For the rest of your catch that will need cooking, the crew will fillet it for you to take to a local restaurant after the trip.

You will spend the day on 'The Big Eye,' a 32' recently restored Jersey Custom Express Sportfish boat. She boasts 350 HP engine and a maximum cruising speed of 25 knots. She has ample seating and shade, a fighting chair, private head, sound system, and sonar fish finder. What more could you ask for? This boat is designed for sportfishing, so will give you the edge when chasing big game.

Let the captain know before the trip how you would like your day to go. You might want to go to private beaches and lounge in hammocks or go far offshore for that trophy fish. Maybe you want to tick off snorkeling in a volcanic reef off of your bucket list. However you would like to spend the day, Sea Star CR can accommodate.

You will be provided with Penn International reels for professional-grade tackle. Plenty of food is provided – you will need to keep up your strength after all. There is snorkeling equipment on board for those who fancy a dip into the clear blue ocean. These guys have really thought of everything – all that's left to do is join them out there!

One of the best experiences I've had
Full Day Trip on June 14, 20263 adults

Captain Adelson and his first mate are hands down the best charter I've ever had. Not only were they friendly and talkative, the fishing experience they gave us was absolutely incredible. We ended up catching 3 mahi mahi, 2 tuna, and to top it all off, we caught a sailfish! Cannot say enough good things about these guys. If you're looking for a good and reliable charter, book this one! You won't regret it!

Enjoyable trip.
Full Day Trip on January 15, 20264 adults

We had an 8 hour trip and started out trolling and caught a 15-20 lb mahi but seas were rougn and trolling was slow and no other boats were catching anything so we did some bottom fishing and caught 7 red snapper and then decided to try for roosterfish inahore. We caught one nice one and then that slowed down. The crew made fresh mahi ceviche that was out of this world good. This may not be typical, but since we were staying close to Captain Moies , he offered to to cook our mahi and snapper and brought it to our rental. It was a fantastic meal and over and beyond!

Another Masterclass
Half Day Trip (AM) on June 16, 20263 adults

We went fishing again with this charter and again, they did not disappoint. We went out for 4 hours and caught 5 roosterfish! Again, we cannot say enough good about this charter. They are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the area as well as knowing their stuff when it comes to fishing. If you are having a difficult time deciding what charter to book, this is the best!

Captain Moses is the best!!!!
3/4 Day Trip on December 9, 20252 adults

i have fished all over the world and Capt Moses and his crew were not only the most knowledgeable salt water guides i have ever fished with, they were fun and so attentive to our needs during the trip. Most important, Capt Moses went out of his way to make sure we had a great time. We caught lots of fish and i was able to fulfill a bucket list goal of landing a Sailfish!!! i am recommending them to all of my friends and plan on coming back to fish with them in the future! Thanks Moses, Alex and Andres for a grrat time!!!
