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!

Amazing! We took the half day AM fishing tour and Chato and Stephan exceeded our expectations! We caught a total of over 12 fish in the short period of time from red snapper, to pompano, to mackerel and more, ending with the highlight of a rooster fish that took 20-30 minutes to bring in. Chato and Stephan knew where to go and utilized their technology. Chato is a local and has over 30 years of experience. He frequently kept us informed and considered our objectives. Thank you for a memorable experience!
We love fishing and taking our clients to enjoy the same. The fishing has been good with many different species and constant action. We are so happy you enjoyed the trip with us and it was a beast of a roosterfish to end the day!
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.
We had a blas even thought it was a little rough. We got 2 really big jacks One well over 30lbs and had quite few bites more. 2 big fish also missed the topwater. I look forward to some revenge.
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
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.
We had an awesome day with good action throughout the day. Thanks guys for s fun day. The highlight was the toosterfish on a jig and light tackle
We recently spent the day fishing with Chato and Pollito and had a great time. We went with the intention of catching Rooster. Fishing was a but slow but the crew was determined to make it happen and they absolutely did!

Your captain
I am a marine biologist from the University of Norway with a Masters degree in Sharks. I have always loved fishing since I was young. We had a boat on the fjord and I would go out as much as possible. In fact, I was inspired by Hooper in 'Jaws' to become a marine biologist. I just feel relaxed on the water and am fascinated by marine life. In 2006 I bought a boat and started charters on the Oslofjord. In 2007 I moved to Costa Rica and my wife and I started Bahia Rica Adventures. We now have 3 boats and run fishing tours as well as other water-based tours.
