Fishing is good for your health, so book a trip with Vitamin Sea Costa Rica Sportfishing today to get your dose. You’ll be fishing with a local, the bilingual Captain Armel Menendez. He has nearly 2 decades of fishing experience and loves to chase down Marlin. He’ll do everything he can to get you on fish and reeling in an awesome catch.

The day will be spent on his 38’ yacht. This beautiful boat has everything you need for a great day out, including air conditioning and a full private restroom. There’s comfortable seating that’s protected from the elements, and enough space on the deck for all 6 anglers to fish at once.

You’ll be targeting the likes of Blue and Striped Marlin, along with Sailfish, Yellowfin Tuna, Roosterfish, Cubera Snapper, Mahi Mahi, and more. The captain will let you know which fish will make the best dinner and have these filleted for you on the way back to shore.

Everyone is welcome on board – children over 4 will love going after their first fish. There are life vests on board for them.

Included in the price of the trip are rods and reels from Shimano and Penn. Whether this is your first fish or your hundredth, this gear won’t let you down.
