Black Marlin Sportfishing
Black Marlin Sportfishing
Make some memories in Herradura and go fishing with Black Marlin Sportfishing. With Captain Nigel at the helm, you'll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.
Fishing around here will often see you targeting Amberjack, Mahi Mahi, Marlin, Sailfish, Roosterfish, Wahoo, Cubera Snapper, Broomtail Grouper, Yellowfin Tuna, Great Barracuda, and more, depending on the season. On the day of your trip, you're likely to troll and bottom fish. Capt. Nigel also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear.
Your adventure begins aboard a 28' Apex Zodiak center console with room for 4 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. Capt. Nigel will supply rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.
You will need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.
You can't go wrong when you bring sunscreen (non-spray), a hat, and sunglasses. Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be food and some light snacks available on board.
Your trip with Black Marlin Sportfishing is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

these guys are great and make sure to do their best to ensure you catch fish!!
This was our first saltwater fishing experience and we were very pleased. It was clear that Capt. Tito and his mate were working diligently to get us into a variety of fish, both inshore and off shore. They offered kind guidance to us beginners, and ensured our success. We caught several species, bucket list fish and couldn't have asked for more.
Was a fantastic fishing day
While it took awhile to start fishing due to rough seas, Captain Tito & deckhand Oscar got us on two nice sized Rooster fish (35-40lb & 25-30lb), along with catching a large Spanish Mackeral. Crew and boat made for a very fun trip.
It was a good day
Captain Adriel was on point from the time I booked until the day we arrived. Communication was top notch. He put us on fish all day, his first mate was a pro and they were not only kind but very fun an funny. Ill be back on his boat again soon.
Captain Tito exceeded all expectations. Not just fishing but catching! 4 sail fish, 1 mahi and 3 bonita landed. Also, several hook ups. Couldn't have asked for a better day. If you are comfortable with a center console boat I highly recommend Marlin Mania. Price was good too compared to Costa Rica standards. Good luck!
