Discover the crystal clear inshore and offshore waters of Costa Rica with Kavelas Tours Charter. Based out of Puntarenas, you’ll have a short run to the productive fishing grounds of the Pacific, making the most of your holiday

Under the guidance of Captains Joseph and Josue, you’ll have everything you need for a productive day out. Both are local fishing enthusiasts, with plenty of years of experience behind them. They promise to cater to your every needs when on board, getting you the most out of your Costa Rican fishing experience.

Step aboard the 25 Mako custom-made boat and explore these productive fishing grounds. Up to 6 guests are welcome aboard to enjoy stunning 360-degree views, making use of the spacious deck to steady yourself against monster fish. Make yourself at home as you take advantage of the free bottled water on all trips, while the crew will even provide sandwiches and snacks on offshore trips!

When it comes to the fishing, you’ll be using the latest rods and reels, with live bait provided for free on offshore trips too. Get ready for an intense day out, as you go up against some of the ocean’s biggest creatures.

Test your bottom fishing skills against Jack Crevalle, Snook, and Snappers inshore. While an offshore trip will see you hit the deep waters in search of huge fish. Troll the open waters to entice the bite of Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Barracuda, and Kingfish, and settle in for the fight of your life as you look to fill the boat with plenty of meat to take back to shore.

If you’d like to cool off after working up a sweat, you’ll even have the chance to go snorkeling and discover the magical world underwater. Let your captain know in advance and he’ll make sure all the gear is on board.

Before coming aboard, the crew can even pick you up in the nearby area for a nominal fee, so everything you need is taken care of! Come aboard Kavelas Tours Charter for a thrilling day from start to finish, and make your trip to Costa Rica one to remember!

This trip was a fun activity my siblings and I took. The captain was great and super helpful, took the time to show us the islands around and even got to see spider monkeys and dolphins. I recommend to make this part of your itinerary.

The Captain was very friendly and tried hard to keep the hooks full. We got several bites right away and then he took us to a beautiful beach with a restaurant and banos when the fish stopped biting. After refreshments we went out and were able to catch a few more. All in all, a great experience! Thank you Joseph, for making my 40th a memorable experience:)

Misleading Ad

VERIFIED

Started with the ad has a map that shows the location pinpoint at Los Suenos, which is where we were staying. Went out and found out the boat was in Puntarenas, an hour and a half away. We Ubered there and back and were very late, of course. When we arrived the boat was nothing like the pictures - small (even for bottom fishing). very old and no cover at all. There were two of us and when we got in I noticed one rod and reel. I asked where the second was and they said they would go get one, which they did but would not have had I not asked, I guess my wife and I would have had to take turns. The crew was nice and good to be with although we could barely speak as neither spoke the other language. We charter boats a lot, read carefully
