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!

Half Day Offshore

We had some mega bites!

VERIFIED

We had a great experience with captain michael and his crew. We had pretty rough seas, but that of course isnt in anyones control when you book it on a trip a month out. The crew made their best to accommodate my kids. We rode out and back slower to make it more tolerable. We caught three sailfish, while the other boats out that morning communicated they didnt catch anything. Call it skill or luck but they put us on em! Plenty of cold beverages, fresh fruit, and fresh fish for lunch. I would absolutely book with Mega bite again!

Yes me we had a very good day of fishing, except that the weather was not the best. Thank you very much for recommending that you fish with us. That's how fishing is, that's why it's called fishing. We were lucky, thank God, and we also saw the humpback whales, which is not at all common at this time of year. Thank you TJ. Blessings to you and your family.

Caught 3 beautiful Sailfish, one was huge, catch of a lifetime. It was a great day, Crew was great, the boat is a little older but worth it due to the inside cabin for shade and amenities Can't wait to go again!

8 Sailfish!

VERIFIED

3/4 day trip with captain Brandon and crew. They were fantastic! Once the fish hit, the guys got them hooked hood and haded over rods. So much fun fighting the sailfish, watching them jump? And finally getting them to the boat. Crew was so helpful, worked hard, prepared food, and helped with pictures. Must go!
