Bahia Rica Adventures can be easily described in 2 words – Roosterfish specialists! They are located on the Eastern side of the Nicoya Peninsula, which is a prime Roosterfish area.

This voracious and aggressive predator can reach the size of 100 pounds. The captain usually catches 50–70 lb fish on a fairly regular basis, but the average fish is around 25 pounds.

Roosterfish is not the only target, of course, and you can catch an array of other species, such as Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Jack Crevalle, Needlefish, or Cubera Snapper. The captain has the equipment for serious popping and jigging, which is really fun, even though it can be hard. If you want to try fly fishing, please bring your own equipment.

Your adventure starts on a 25' fishing machine. This Super Panga center console accommodates up to 4 guests, and there's enough room for everyone to fish in comfort. She can reach the fishing spots very fast, as she's powered by a 150 HP Mercury engine. The boat also features a private toilet, a tower, and lots of shaded areas.

Capt. Thomas will provide your fishing equipment, lures, and live bait. The trip price also includes drinks, snacks, and lunch, whether you booked a half-day or a full day. Fishing licenses can be bought online.

Fish with Bahia Rica Adventures and finally cross Roosterfish off your bucket list!

A jack of all trades
Half Day Trip (PM) on June 13, 20262 adults
As always, had a great fishing trip/time with Captain Thomas and Cato. I only caught two Jacks but one of them was over 35 pounds and took 25 minutes to bring in. Missed four or five from losing bait or missing the poppers/jigs. Alot of action and minimal boat travel to fishing locations. This was my second time with this captain and first mate and there will be a third one in the future.

Awesome day with Bahia Rica
Full Day Trip on July 23, 20255 adults
Awesome fishing, very accommodating guide and crew, great vibes. Totally recommend fishing with Thomas. Check out the other services he and his wife offer (tours, kayaking, guest house, etc) and stay in the area for a few days if possible. Our initial schedule didn't work out due to some boat issues, that evening Thomas rescheduled us for two days later to make sure we got out before our trip to Costa Rica was over. On the day, he was very accommodating for one of our group who had extreme sea sickness, and dropped him off with his tour group so the rest could keep fishing. Caught a few sharks, some good baitfish, and tons of Jack Crevalle. Assistant guide & captain Chato kept us in the zone and brought the good vibes all day. Would highly recommend Bahia Rica for fishing as well as the other tours he and his wife offer. Very friendly group and a beautiful setting.

Great day on the water - Huge variety of fish!
Full Day Trip on June 19, 20254 adults
We had an amazing day out on the water with this charter! From start to finish, everything was top-notch. We caught a ton of fish - including six different species - and even caught a 200 lb blacktip shark, which made for an unforgettable moment. The captain and first mate were fantastic - super knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. Their hospitality really stood out. They kept the energy high, made everyone feel welcome, and had everything covered: cold drinks, a delicious lunch, and fresh fruit throughout the trip. It was one of the best fishing experiences I've ever had. Can't recommend them highly enough - we'll definitely be back!

Catch fish Capt. Thomas
Full Day Trip on December 22, 20252 adults
My son (19yo) and I love to fish and have used fishing booker with varied results in the past. Thomas and his mate were experienced, friendly, professional - and most importlantly put us on the fish. Our second fish was a 35-40lb rooster. we caught 30+ fish of varied species. The scenery is stunning, beautiful water, good food, and a comfortable boat. I highly recommend this charter.

Stunning and plentiful fishing
Half Day Trip (AM) on February 27, 20262 adults
Thomas and his crew managed to orientate our outing in the best way possible, targeting the best places to optimise our chances to encounter the various fish. We managed to catch a lot, got well acquainted with the pelicans, sardines and foaming waters breaking on dark rocks … Wonderful memories in store ! Thank you Vigdis and Thomas
