Costa Rica Fishing Charters

Explore the depths of Playa Del Coco with Costa Rica Fishing Charters! Join Captain Robert, who’s been fishing in the area for over 30 years. He’s always in touch with other anglers and has the latest information about the best fishing spots and where exactly you should go on a certain date. For him, it’s all about the next trip. Each day on the water is different and each fishing trip is unique.

You’ll be fishing aboard a 27’ Panga boat that accommodates up to 4 anglers. She features navigational and trolling equipment, a live bait tank, and a cooler. If you’re up for some snorkeling, simply request the equipment in advance. The design of the boat keeps you close to the water, so you can reach Pilot Whales if they happen to pass by, or rescue a turtle that’s tangled in plastic. It’s not just about catching fish, it’s about experiencing sea life to the fullest!

Capt. Robert specializes in topwater poppers, which you’ll use to target Roosterfish, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Yellowfin Tuna, Sailfish, Snapper, and more. The fish species you can encounter depend on the fishing grounds you visit and the season. You get to keep the catch (within regulations) and the captain will clean it for you.

You’ll have Shimano and Penn rods waiting for you on the boat, a variety of lures, and you’ll catch fresh bait on your way out. Bring your snacks, drinks, and sun protection for the day, and make sure your phone is fully charged to take lots of amazing photos!

Costa Rica Fishing Charters is at your service year round. You just need to tell them when you’re coming!
