The right choice when you want to catch the fish of your dreams. Join Captain Luis and target monster pelagic species all day long. Your guide is a pro when it comes to offshore fishing and has a successful career in Quepos.

You'll be fishing on a 28' boat, named Cocodrilo XVII. This Mako center console was custom-built and restored in 2019. She features enough space for 4 anglers to fish in comfort. The boat is powered by a 300 HP Suzuki engine and reaches the speed of 25 knots. Besides navigational electronics, the boat also has a private toilet, a livewell full of fresh bait for inshore fishing, and Tuna tubes for anglers with bigger fish to fry.

During the summer months, it's great to start an inshore trip. This is where you get to target Cubera Snapper, Jack Crevalle, Roosterfish, and other tasty species. But if you're ready for something more challenging, take an offshore trip and target big game species, such as Black, Blue, and Striped Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Sailfish, and Tuna.

You can choose between light and heavy tackle, depending on your targets. All fishing equipment you'll need for the day is included in the price. Fly anglers are also welcome to bring their favorite fly fishing gear. Your snacks and drinks are also covered.

    50lbs mahi-mahi!

    3/4 Day Trip Inshore on April 14, 2026 • 4 adults

    We had a great experience! We would definitely repeat and recommend it. The initial idea was to catch some tuna, but the plan changed and we ended up catching two sailfish and a 50 lb mahi-mahi. The crew members were very knowledgeable about fishing spots for live bait and the small details of the area.

    Fishing with Sushi Hunter

    Full Day Trip Offshore on January 14, 2026 • 2 adults

    We boarded the boat at 7am, Pika, the captain, introduced us to his deckhand, Steven. Very nice, polite and helpful guys. We caught AND released a big roosterfish and a 120# sailfish. We had enough bait for both species and the gear was great as well. The guys were very professional, easy to talk to and know these waters. BOOK THEM! You wont be disappointed!

    Thank you for an excellent time fishing! Catching the bait was the hard part. The sardines were not cooperative but once we had enough to fish, we caught 6 huge red snapper! Thank you!

Great trip out.
Half Day Trip on October 3, 2026 • 1 adult

Had an excellent fishing trip in Costa Rica! We caught bunch of fish and had a great time from start to finish. The boat was in great shape, clean, and well maintained. The captain and mate worked extremely hard the entire trip and did everything they could to keep us on the fish and make sure we had a great experience. You could tell they take pride in what they do and genuinely want their customers to have a successful day on the water. Great boat, hard-working crew, and an awesome day of fishing. Highly recommend!

Response from Captain

Hi Jason, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience and for the kind words about our crew. We truly appreciate it. Fishing can be unpredictable at times, and while the mahi-mahi weren’t cooperating that day, we’re glad the team stayed committed, kept moving, and ultimately found action on the live bait. Catching 5 yellowfin snapper and seeing the boys enjoy landing fish of their own is what it’s all about! It was a pleasure having your family aboard, and we hope to welcome you back to Costa Rica for another adventure. Next time, we’ll be ready to chase even bigger fish together. Tight lines and safe travels! Captain Oscar & The Sushi Hunter Team 🎣🐟🌊

Some days I have the pleasure of taking people out to the ocean for their first time ever. Those trips have been some of the most memorable. I fish with anglers of all skill sets, and often times our goal is catching a personal best, Sailfish, Dorado, Marlin, and other big game fish, as well as inshore species such as Roosterfish and Snook.
