Soleil Sport Fishing offers year-round adventures out of Quepos, Costa Rica. If you've always wanted to feel the adrenaline rush you get when the fish bites your bait and starts pulling the line - this is it! With an experienced crew by your side, you'll feel like a pro in no time. And when you realize how easy it is to book a trip with them, you'll wonder why you even waited for so long.

Everything starts with a boat. The captain will meet you on a 28' custom built boat that accommodates up to 5 guests. This reliable center console was built in 2019, so she features new navigational electronics and a 150 HP Yamaha engine. The boat features a live bait tank, a cooler, and snorkeling equipment, just in case you want to swim for a bit. Please note that the trip starts at the Marina, there's an additional $40 entrance fee, but if the trip starts next to Bahia Azul restaurant, there's no additional charge.

Fish whatever is in season. If you stay closer to the shore, you can go after Roosterfish, Snook, Jack Crevalle, Cubera Snapper, and Grouper. But if you're ready for a true adventure, take a few hours more and sail offshore. This is where you get the opportunity to catch Marlin, Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Sailfish, and many more.

What do you need to do to get ready? Just pick a trip and show up! The crew takes care of fishing equipment, drinks, and even catch cleaning. Food is included in full-day trips. You just need to bring a fishing license. It's never been that easy to get ready for the fishing trip of your life.

    "They know where the fish are"!

    Half Day Trip – Inshore on March 22, 2026 • 4 adults

    Very good charter for cost on the low side these days. The Capt. and crew were great as we took turns on the rods. Bring your own adult drinks as they provide water and soda. For older folks I would strongly recommend asking the Capt. to pick you up at the marina or the City dock.

    Fish didnt work as hard as the crew

    Full Day Trip – Inshore on January 3, 2026 • 3 adults

    Had a half day chasing roosters. My dad landed one plus we caught a cuda and a needle fish. The captain and Raul worked very hard and made the best of a slow bite. I’d recommend anyone who likes panga style fishing to book with these guys. Pura Vida!!!

    Great experience for fishing in Costa Rica.

    Full Day Trip – Inshore on July 23, 2025 • 4 adults

    Captain Elier and crew were amazing and went above and beyond to ensure we had a good time at sea. We spent the first couple hours catching live bait and then went off to start trolling the waters for fish. It was a little slow to start but eventually caught a nice Jack and then had a few strong bites that got off the hook. Towards the end of the day we starting trolling with lures and caught a few different species as we worked our way back to the marina. Overall was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend Elier and company if you're looking to get out and catch some Costa Rican fish.

I've been born and raised in the area, so fishing is in my blood. I've always loved the boats and dreamed of having my own one day. That wish finally came true in 2012, when I started my own charter business.

    Captain and mate were nice. They were caught a bit unprepared to go after our target fish ( rooster) with no live bait. They did try to change techniques to get us into some other fish. Lots of dolphins and see turtles as well as stunning view of the coast. Overall good day on the water.

    I took my 16-year old son off-shore fishing for the first time. We caught a sailfish but the rest of the day was slow. Captain and crew were pleasant and friendly. They made us some awesome burritos, cut up some watermelon and had plenty of drinks. Thanks, Soleil!
