The stunning azure waters of Playa Coco, located in Costa Rica, offer up some incredible scenery and photo opportunities, but did you know that they’re also a hotbed of top-quality angling action? Come aboard Tropical Explorers and get ready for an angling adventure set in paradise! Captain Brayan Gerardo, who’s usually behind the helm of this charter, describes it perfectly: “Expect the best fishing experience, in the most beautiful place!”
Depending on when you visit, you’ll be traveling on your adventure with Capt. Brayan, or one of Tropical Explorers’ other knowledgeable and friendly captains. Playa Coco offers top-quality fishing close to the shore, and this charter is local to the area – so all crew members are well-educated when it comes to where the hottest fishing spots around are. They’ll even take you to their favorite secret locations, too! Whether you’re a newbie or a seasoned fisherman, they have just the adventure for you.
You’ll be traveling on board a 27’ Striker center console. She has room to accommodate up to 6 anglers, with plenty of space on her deck for ample angling action. She’s decked out with top-notch navigational and safety gear, including life jackets for little ones. On board, you’ll also find outriggers to maximize your trolling potential, a private toilet, and an ice box to keep your catch fresh. When you return to shore, your crew will catch and fillet it for you!
As for the species on offer here? It’s a real “who’s-who” of saltwater favorites! You’ll have the chance to battle big game such as Mahi Mahi, Marlin, and Sailfish, hook Red Snapper, Grouper, and other bottom-dwellers, and come face-to-gills with plenty of other impressive species. Your captain will have you bottom fishing, trolling, and more, and will be on hand to show you the ropes.
Your trip includes top-notch rods and reels, bait, tackle, and a fishing license for a small extra cost. Come aboard Tropical Explorers and get ready to fish in paradise!

Half Day Trip (AM)
I booked a half-day trip for my self and my 13-year-old daughter. We had a really great time and the crew was really excellent. The day started out a little slow but we ended it with two massive sailfish. Estaban and Jimmy worked hard to put us on the fish. The boat and Equipment were top-notch. We also saw a very large leatherback sea turtle and lots of dolphins. It was a wonderful day

We had a fantastic morning out on the water - we only caught one fish but Juan prepared it right on the boat for us and it was great! The crew was really friendly, they had great snacks and drinks, we had no complaints, only a great time! Highly recommend this trip!

We had a great trip landing five mahi and just as many black tuna. The smaller tuna were a welcome catch for my 7 and 9 year old boys. We also saw numerous whales and sea turtles. The boat was new and fast and the crew worked hard to set us on fish.
