Captain Elias is the man at the helm of Cat Costa Rica, which he runs alongside a friendly crew. Depending on the trip you opt for, you’ll be welcomed by your captain and up to 3 crew members. This means you’ll be treated to plenty of helpful local tips and tricks!
Experience isn’t a barrier when it comes to fishing these glorious waters, either. Guests of all skill levels are warmly welcomed, from hardcore anglers looking to chase huge hard-fighting fish, to families wanting to add an exciting angling adventure to their sun-drenched Costa Rican vacation.
Your captain offers a variety of fishing trips, which all take place on board an impressive 32’ Polar offshore sport fishing vessel. There’s room for up to 7 guests, so you can bring along the whole family, or your best angling buddies. There’s no minimum age for children, and you’ll be provided with life jackets, too.
Fully restored in 2018, this vessel is also decked out with top-quality marine electronics and safety gear, a flybridge, shower, kitchen, and beds. On board, you’ll find outriggers, downriggers, which will come in handy if you want to cover plenty of ground when fishing!
Your captain recommends that newer anglers join him for a shorter trip, which will usually see you targeting species such as Wahoo, Roosterfish, Mahi Mahi, and Snapper. If you have more experience under your belt, you can opt for a longer trip – which means you’ll encounter some seriously huge fish! Tuna species, Sailfish, and Marlin are all in the cards.
Fishing gear, a license, and snacks and drinks are included on every trip. Come aboard Cat Costa Rica and get ready for an unforgettable adventure!

Cat Costa Rica is owned by Captain Elias. They have been in business since 1999, since his dad (also a captain and still on one of the boats) needed some help. Elias decided to finish business school and join his father, who was a commercial fisherman for a long time. Over the years, they have sailed thousands of miles working in commercial fishing in far-flung waters such as The Galapagos Islands, as well as working as divers and captains on many other local vessels. Besides that, they have been doing aquatic and jet ski tours. This is a family business – besides his father, his wife is one of the employees. They love the sea and nature, are very eco-aware, and part of the money they earn is being donated to a local school. This business is their baby, and they love what they do. They want to be friends with their clients, so they come back again and again. They have 3 fishing boats at the moment and have catered to clients such as Tornado Hunter Group and AAA.
