Fishing CR is a family-owned business that operates out of Herradura. Captain Luis has been fishing in the area their whole life and know these waters like the back of their palm. Being very skilled and patient makes them great teachers for novice anglers. Use the opportunity to fish with locals, learn something new, and catch the tastiest lunch!
Come aboard the 28’ Panga boat. This center console accommodates up to 4 anglers, including children 4 years old and up. The boat is powered by a 150 HP Yamaha engine, which is more than enough to take you up to 30 miles offshore. Equipped with everything you need for fishing, First Mate Luis is ready to assist whenever you need him. Tipping is customary to show appreciation for his hard work.
The catch of the day depends on how long you stay on the boat and how far off the coast you go. In the nearshore waters, you can go after Roosterfish, Grouper, and Snapper. A few miles further you can hope for Wahoo, Barracuda, and Tuna. For the most persistent anglers, the true prize lies even further when you reach the home of Marlin and Sailfish!
Except for Billfish and Roosterfish, you can keep the catch, and the crew will clean it for you. They’ll also cover your fishing equipment, live bait, fresh fruit, and soft drinks. The longer trips also come with sandwiches included.
Whether you want the whole boat for yourself or to share it with other anglers, Fishing CR can make it happen. Experience Costa Rica in an authentic way and come fishing with locals!
