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!

Fantastic fishing
3/4 Day Trip on July 7, 20254 adults
We had such a fun trip with Gerald, first mate Jose and the captain. The crew were friendly, spoke excellent English, happy and very knowledgeable. They even picked us up on the beach at our hotel which was a bonus. We caught 3 tuna right away, a huge marlin and sailfish on our 6 hr trip. Gerald even expertly prepared a fruit platter with fresh pineapple and watermelon. Then he made a beautiful plate of sashimi with avocado, lime juice, onions, tomatoes, olive oil, soy sauce with the tuna we caught on the boat- most delicious sashimi ever! He is both a talented chef and fisherman. Would highly recommend this crew and boat for fishing.

What a day......
Full Day Trip on June 12, 20253 adults
Had a spectacular day on F/V Sea Star!!! After picking us up right off our resort beach, they asked what my two buddies and I were targeting. Sailfish has been at the top of my “bucket list” for a long time……so off we went. Captain Ronald and deckhands Gerald & Jose were EXCEPTIONAL. The gear prep was the best I’ve ever seen, and after an hour and a half run…..we were fishing. We landed SEVEN Sailfish and three small Mahi Mahi when it was all said and done……EPIC day!!! This boat is a fishing boat!!! Captain & Crew LOVE to fish…..and we could not asked for a better experience. To top it off, Gerald turned those small Mahi’s into the most delicious sashimi for our ride in. Top notch service, from a top notch crew!! Can’t wait to fish with these guys again!!

3/4 Day Trip on July 12, 20255 adults1 child
The Sea Star Crew really made it a great fishing day for my kids to remember. From pickup to drop off everything went very smoothly. The Deckhands Gerald & Jose made sure to interact with the kids and even showed them how and why they gear prep the way they do. Once fishing all the kids were able to catch fish. 2 Sailfish & 2 Mahi Mahi. Gerald even used some of the Mahi Mahi to make a delicious sashimi plate that the kids devoured. At the end we wished we could have fished longer, so next time we will definitely look at a full day fishing trip.

BUCKET LIST FISH!! 104" BLUE MARLIN
Full Day Trip on March 25, 20255 adults
First let me start off by saying we went on another charter earlier in the week with another charter and it was inshore and the six of us didn't even touch a fishing pole. Now Jose and Robbie were AMAZING! Everyone on the boat caught a fish and we all took turns on a 104 inch blue marlin. Now you can't expect this to happen on every charter but these guys worked their butt off to put us on fish. We also caught 6 mahi! I would highly recommend everyone to book with these guys! We also purchased a wall mount through grays taxidermy through the charter. Thanks for the once in a lifetime experience!!

Wonderful Day On The Water
Full Day Trip on December 25, 20244 adults
We really enjoyed our off-shore trip today with Sea Star on the 31' Big Eye. Captain Roland and crew Willam and Jason were attentive and owner Michael had excellent communication when booking. Captain asked what fishing experience we were looking for at the start of the trip and did his best to deliver. Caught a nice Mahi Mahi and also saw whales, dolphins, devil rays & flying fish. Ate tasty ceviche prepared with our catch and lunch. Snacks and beverages were plentiful and available throughout the trip. Overall a relaxing day on the water. Would 100% use this boat & crew again through Sea Star.
