Leave the beaches of Playas del Coco behind and discover the magical world of the Pacific’s crystal clear waters. Go after some world-renowned, dazzling, and delicious fish to fill the boat, and head back to shore with much more than you left with.
Captain Roberto Hurtado is a native to Costa Rica’s Pacific coast and has been fishing since he can remember. A passionate angler to this day, he loves sharing his enthusiasm for fishing and his country with all his customers. Hop aboard and discover the true meaning of “pura vida” with Costa Rican hospitality.
There’s plenty of comfortable seating for up to 5 guests aboard the 24’ Boston Whaler center console, and you can soak up the rays or cool off in the shade at your leisure. On full-day trips, you’ll be treated to a full lunch, while every trip comes with plenty of snacks and beverages. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience, so don’t feel the need to skimp on the drinks!
Fitted with downriggers and outriggers, you’ll troll a vast expanse of water, giving you the maximum chance of luring that prized fish. You’ll head up to 30 miles offshore to the deeper spots to find the biggest fish out there.
Go after some global favorite game fish and table fare, such as Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Grouper, and Snapper. Each of these beasts will dazzle you and leave you breathless in more ways than one. Get ready for the fight of your life, especially if you hook a Marlin, and then the catch will taste even more delicious at the end of the day.
The crew will clean and prepare your fish when you get back to shore. Head to a beachside restaurant and keep the fun going long into the night. Everything you need is waiting for you on board, so just grab your fishing license and hop aboard with Costa Rica Extreme Fishing. The fishing trip of a lifetime awaits!

Overall, trip was great and we had a great time. Fishing was slow and we only boated one small tuna for bait and a barracuda. Crew was great but never asked our experience level in fishing and handling rods and reels. I personally would have liked to be in control of the rods instead of having the fish hooked by the crew and then handed the rod to reel in. One of the crew members spoke broken English so communications were a little difficult but we managed. Overall the trip was great but fishing has its bad and good days.
