Fish Tale 2 | Playa Flamingo/Marina Flamingo
Fish Tale 2 is a premier private fishing charter based out of Marina Flamingo in Guanacaste, offering world-class offshore and inshore fishing experiences built around performance, comfort, and reliability.
Under new ownership, the vessel underwent an extensive two-year rebuild and modernization, featuring twin Caterpillar engines, upgraded transmissions, new onboard systems, and updated equipment throughout. Designed with both serious anglers and guest comfort in mind, Fish Tale 2 offers an enclosed air-conditioned cabin, a clean private restroom, and a spacious, comfortable layout for relaxing between bites.
Fully equipped with premium rods and reels, tuna tubes, dredges, deep-drop rigs, and top-tier offshore tackle, Fish Tale 2 is ready to pursue marlin, sailfish, tuna, wahoo, and mahi-mahi offshore, along with roosterfish, snapper, and grouper along the coast. Onboard amenities include Starlink internet, refrigeration, and a quiet EcoFlow solar-powered electrical system, creating a smooth, modern, and comfortable experience on the water.
Fish Tale 2 operates exclusively as a private charter — never shared trips — allowing every group the freedom to customize their day and fish at their own pace.
Conveniently departing from Marina Flamingo, guests enjoy quick, easy dock access and fast runs to productive fishing grounds, maximizing time spent fishing instead of traveling.
Backed by an experienced crew committed to preparation, professionalism, and attention to detail, Fish Tale 2 is dedicated to delivering a first-class experience from the moment you step aboard.

We had a family of 7 for our trip. Captain and crew did their level best to try and catch fish. We only caught one. I might note that we only booked half day trip, so we only stayed near shore. I fish quite a bit off the Texas coast and this crew was excellent. While it was a tough day catching, the crew was very knowledgeable and we learned quite a bit on history and geography of Costa Rica. I would book them again if I travel here again.
Thanks for choosing us to be a part of your Fish Tale 2!

Your operator
The crew of Fish Tale 2 runs trips out of Playa Flamingo in Costa Rica aboard a 35' Cabo Sportfisher. These waters are known for Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, Roosterfish, Snapper, and many more and the crew will show you how to catch them, whether you're bottom fishing, trolling, or spinning. With years of experience, they have a trick or two up their sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join them out on the water!
