Good Catch Costa Rica - Spike
+43Good Catch Sportfishing welcomes you to Drake Bay and invites you aboard for a great fishing experience on the waters of Costa Rica. Your captain is a skilled angler who’ll take you inshore, nearshore, as well as offshore, and make sure you land a fine catch and enjoy your trip to the fullest. Join the friendly crew and explore Costa Rica’s rich sea life!
You’ll start your trip on a 30’ Mako saltwater fishing boat that’s big enough to carry 5 guests. It runs on a twin 115 HP Yamaha engine with a maximum cruising speed of 20 knots. Together with the quality onboard GPS, fishfinder, and radio systems, this boat will take you to the fish quickly and safely. Its wide-ranging fishing equipment includes outriggers, tuna tubes, snorkeling gear, and a livewell. Throughout the trip, on board will be a first mate who’ll gladly help you with anything you might need.
Costa Rica in general is famous for its fish variety and there’s no difference when it comes to Drake Bay. You can go after Marlin, Roosterfish, Mahi Mahi, Pompano, Sailfish, and other intriguing species. Using light and heavy tackle, you’ll catch them by bottom fishing, deep sea fishing, trolling, spinning, jigging, and popping. Kids are allowed to join on board. While Marlin and Sailfish will have to be released, all the other species are yours to keep and take home if you wish so. The crew will also clean and fillet one catch for you, free of charge.
There’s no need to think about what you’ll need to bring for the trip because you’re covered for absolutely everything. From fishing gear to food and drinks to licenses, the captain provides you with everything. Yours is just to pick a date and arrive on time.
Book today and have a wonderful experience on the water with Good Catch Sportfishing!

Had an awesome experience with my family fishing outside Isla de Caños. It was impressive to see Brian and Chip's determination in getting us into some big fish. And then the smiles on their faces after we had succeeded! 😀💯 (Also, as a detail, the cooler was well equipped.)

Full Day Trip – Offshore on March 11, 2022
Super Tag Offshore die Crew kennt sich gut aus und gibt sich große Mühe einen zum gewünschten Fisch zubringen was in meinem Fall geklappt hat . Zudem haben wir sehr viele Delfine ,Schildkröten und Mantarochen gesehen also ein Trip für die ganze Familie. Und es gab die beste Verpflegung die ich bis jetzt auf einem Charter Boot bekommen habe mit einer großen Auswahl an Getränken Früchten und sogar ein warmes Gericht 👌

Your captain
Drake Bay, Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica
Captain Elsa was on a fishing trip in Costa Rica when she met Bryan, one of the best captains and angler she had ever met. They quickly became friends and decided to create their own sport fishing company. They love fishing because there are no two similar days on the water. They are always looking for something, such as a specific fish, or they just want to practice a specific fishing technique. But eventually, something happens. A fish they didn't expect, practicing a technique, a creature shows up from nowhere, and so on. Captains Elsa and Bryan don't have favorite species. Fighting a fish is what brings you excitement, and this is what they love: the feeling of fighting! Snapper and Tuna don't fight the same way, and neither does a Marlin. The captains like adjusting their gear and technique in order to optimize the feeling while fishing!
