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.

Soleil Sport Fishing is at your service, ready to start the engines!

Half Day Trip – Inshore on June 12, 20264 adults

Elliot and his partner took my family of 4 offshore fishing and exceeded our expectations. We caught Mahi Mahi and had more than we could even eat for dinner that evening. They were so professional with great personalities. Very kind and would highly recommend! Will definitely be using next time in Costa Rica!

Elier and Raoul work great guys. Easy to talk to, good English and professional!! we caught some young mahi-mahi, we saw sea turtles, lots of dolphins and tuna jumping… we have a few really good bites, but we're not able to land them… no fault of these guys! Was such a great experience thank you so much ❤️

"They know where the fish are"!
Half Day Trip – Inshore on March 22, 20264 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.

Great Crew, unfortunately no fish
Full Day Trip – Offshore on December 26, 20254 adults

We had an amazing day at sea, unfortunately the fish didn't bite - but that was not the Captains fault, all other boats today had the same problem. Elier & his companion were really friendly, professional and good hosts. It's called fishing, not catching - thats part of the game. But I would absolutely recommend them and book them again. Plus: We saw many Dolphins & Turtles.

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.
