Come aboard the Rhino Charger, a 31’ Island Hopper. With a top speed of 30 knots, this boat can reach Costa Rica’s Continental Shelf in just 30 minutes. Custom designed, she has a huge 12.5’ beam, which translates into smooth, dry rides. The spacious fishing cockpit provides plenty of room for all guests, and the flybridge provides plenty of cool shade where you can relax. Below the deck, a V-berth cabin and bathroom ensure everyone is comfortable. Extremely stable and safe, this boat is as tough as her name.
Whether you’re hoping to get your hands on one of Costa Rica’s famous Billfish or to explore the coastal areas in search of Roosterfish, this charter will provide you with top-notch sportfishing gear and know-how. Expect Shimano reels, custom rods, and Penn spinning gear, as well as an array of lures.
There are a huge number of species available in Tamarindo. As well as Billfish, you can get your hands on Mahi Mahi, Cubera Snapper, Yellowfin Tuna, Jack Crevalle, and many more. Your captain’s expertise will give you an insight into this unique fishery and give you a fighting chance to bring in your personal best.
Rhino Charger Sport Fishing is not only about the serious aspects of fishing, though. Instead, it’s their positive attitude and joy of fishing that makes their customers want to come back. They want you to have a good time, and they will go out of their way to make sure it happens.
Captain Maikel Rodriguez or Captain Victor Suazo, backed by more than 20 years of experience, are ready to impart their wealth of knowledge and ensure an unforgettable journey on the open seas.

Half Day Trip
Half Day Fishing Extravaganza
This was an excellent trip for 6 Canadian Fishers who had never been out for real deep sea fishing! Despite some of our weak stomaches on the boat, we had a great experience doing a half day of fishing with Maikel, Milton and Victor who are true professionals and fun at the same time! Upon arriving at the beach they were right on time, helped us easily on to the boat and we had a good chat regarding exactly what we wanted to get out of the day. We decided to shoot for the trophy fish as there had been good luck that week from them and other boats catching Marlin and Sailfish (Catch and release species in Costa Rica). We then set out off shore for about 45 minutes before they set out all the lures and we were off. We set a catch order for the 6 of us, as there is one main fishing chair, and quickly got a small Mahi Mahi and Tuna on deck. In this time they set up some super fresh pineapple right there on the boat and provided us with beer, pop and water to drink. We also managed to see dolphins which came right up to the boat and turtles all over. We then moved spots a bit while trolling and quickly caught a big Mahi Mahi. Upon getting the Mahi Mahi on board we got our pictures with it and they quickly filleted it and put it on ice for us (we got to take home all of the 4 fillets and make it into some amazing ceviche and tacos!) After this they provided us with some salsa and chips for a snack. We then continued fishing and caught one more small Mahi Mahi and a Skipjack Tuna. As there was 6 of us, we unfortunately did not each get to real in a fish; however, the captains apologized and said this was quite a slow day for them (we understood that they cannot control this) and we also had two sailfish hit and one jump near us that we just couldn’t quite hook. They had 8 rods out at all time, were very attentive to the rods and incredibly quick to respond to hits, and they gave great direction on how to best handle the gear. The boat was also in great shape and comfortable for all 6 of us, and although the bathroom was small, it is a huge luxury on a boat and we greatly appreciated it. Overall if you are new I would highly advise getting some anti-nausea medications to avoid getting sick, however the ride was excellent and the crew even better. Could not recommend anymore and will definitely be back out with Rhino Charger Sportfishing if we make it back to Tamarindo one day!

We had an unforgettable fishing adventure with Captain Michael and his crew out of Tamarindo, Costa Rica! From start to finish, their professionalism and enthusiasm made the trip exceptional. While fishing always comes with uncertainty, Captain Michael and his team went above and beyond to put us in the best spots to hook some incredible catches. We reeled in several trophy yellowfin tunas and a couple of inshore jacks, including a stunning Rooster fish that was a highlight for our family! Beyond the fishing, the wildlife was absolutely spectacular. We were thrilled to spot whales, turtles, dolphins, and a variety of other marine life, which made the day even more memorable. The crew’s knowledge of the area and passion for what they do truly set this charter apart. If you’re looking for a top-notch fishing experience in Tamarindo, we highly recommend Captain Michael and his team—they’ll make sure you have an incredible time on the water!

Here’s a polished review based on your experience: Incredible Sportfishing Experience with Tamarindo Rhino Charger! I had an unforgettable fishing trip aboard the Tamarindo Rhino Charger! The day was action-packed—we raised five sailfish, had bites on one, and even spotted hundreds of spinner dolphins along with a pod of spotted dolphins. One of the highlights was casting into yellowfin tuna breaking the surface, an exciting experience for any angler. The real thrill came when we landed a striped marlin—an absolutely fantastic fight that made the trip even more special. The boat was top-notch, equipped with cold drinks and an awesome lunch, making the entire experience comfortable and enjoyable. The crew was extremely professional, and the fishing gear was top-quality, ensuring a smooth and successful day on the water. If you’re looking for an incredible sportfishing adventure in Tamarindo, I highly recommend Rhino Charger Sportfishing. I’ll definitely be back for another trip.

Great time!!
Had a wonderful trip with Captain Mikeal and his crew, Milton and Victor. Very professional and fun! The boat is great. Easy to get shade when needed, fully stocked with beverages and snacks along with all the necessary equipment to catch’em! It’s never a guarantee to catch anything but we were fortunate and caught some amazing sailfish! My son and I would definitely go out on a trip again with them!
