Offshore fishing with Mega Bite is a must in Costa Rica! Captain Michael Ponce Sosa and his professional crew have years of experience in the area and they are ready to assist you every step of the way. Whether you choose to reel in your first big game fish offshore or want to chase tasty inshore species – these are the people you want by your side.

Their 36' Bertram is a luxurious sportfishing boat which will take you fishing in comfort and style. Powered by twin Yanmar engines, this vessel has the total strength of an astonishing 1,000 HP that will grant you more time to catch the fish of your dreams. Aside from safety and navigational equipment, this boat also has air conditioned, modern lounge areas and a clean private bathroom. A high Definition GoPro camera is there to capture the most exciting moments, so you can proudly share them with your friends.

Captain Michael offers both inshore and offshore trips. Inshore trips are close to the beach and you are most likely to catch Snapper, Grouper, Mackerel, and Jack Crevalle. The real treat of inshore fishing is Snook. Not only it will keep up a strenuous and exciting fight, it is also one of the most delicious fish in the world.

Offshore trips are reserved for trophy specimens and trolling. There is nothing more exciting than when a Sailfish or Marlin starts biting! You don't have to be a pro to start feeling like one.

The first mate will clean, fillet, and bag your catch, and after the trip you can take it to any nearby restaurant and they will prepare it for you. Please take Costa Rica's regulations into consideration, since some fish species have to be released for preservation. The crew will also prepare snacks and drinks before the trip.

With Mega Bite fishing is fun, comfortable, and easy. Book your trip with them and get ready for some serious action!

Great Boat, Expert and Friendly Crew
Full Day Trip on April 16, 2026 • 6 adults

Captain Michael and crew left no stones unturned. We caught Sailfish in the most pure light tackle way. They are expert and do all the hard work. They also served cold fresh fruit and a tasty hot lunch. Be advised that Fishing Booker left it to me to pay 80 percent of the price at the boat. Credit cards get upcharged 13 percent in Costa Rica, and it is difficult to get that much cash less than 4 days here. Id really like Fishing Booker to collect the whole payment up front so all I have to do is walk on the boat and fish rather than running around banking in a foriegn country. Tight Lines.

These guys are pros
Full Day Trip on December 22, 2025 • 4 adults

I cannot say enough good things about Capitan Miguel, Jorge and Flaco! These guys are real pros. We started by doing some bottom fishing, probably caught 15 fish. My 14 year-old had a broken hand and could not real with his right hand. So, the capitan recommended bottom fishing so my son could real with his left and catch some fish. We caught plenty, including a shark, and then we went after some bill fish. We ended up catching two sail fish as well. They knew exactly how to bring these fish in. It was a great day. Flaco is a dawg out there, catches everything and does everything. Friendly crew that wants to make you happy.

Response from Captain

Friend, thank you again for spending the day with us. You were excellent people and very kind. It was a pleasure for the three of us to fish with you. You are a lovely family, and your son Oso is an excellent fisherman. Even with his broken arm, he was able to catch fish. Excellent, very brave and strong. And about the shark of that species, it's the first one I've seen in my 22 years of fishing. Have a wonderful day with your excellent family. Thank

Great trip for first timers!
Full Day Trip on April 10, 2026 • 5 adults

Captain Michael got us on the fish fast! We caught two sailfish and a bunch of mahi. The two mates, Esteban and Josue, worked nonstop to keep the lines baited. All three members of the crew went above and beyond to make sure we had an awesome time. This trip would be best for beginners and intermediate anglers. We wore long sleeve shirts, lots of sunscreen, and hats but it was great able to go inside to get out of the sun.

Michael has been a captain for 19 years. He had a lot of different jobs before he became a captain, but nothing comes even close to fishing. He loves when people squeal and have fun, when they are excited for catching a big fish.
