Fantasea Sportfishing & Tours

Based out of Playa Flamingo, Fantasea Sportfishing & Tours is your ticket to a memorable time on the water.

Come on aboard! Our priority is to get you on some fish. Expect to use techniques like bottom fishing, trolling, jigging, and popping, based on the species you’re targeting. Speaking of which, you have the option of 4 to 6-hour trips, where you’ll be fishing for the likes of Mahi Mahi, Roosterfish, Tuna, Sailfish, Marlin, and Wahoo, depending on the specific season and the day’s weather.

You’ll be fishing from a 28’ Albin Marine boat with enough room for up to 5 anglers at any single time. It also includes a toilet and an ice box.

When it comes to rods, reels, and terminal tackle, everything you need is included in the price. No need to worry about fishing licenses, as they will be provided and handled by the charter.

You can keep anything you catch, as long as it’s legal to do so (ie. Marlin, Sailfish and Roosterfish have to be released).

Here to help you with anything you need, the first mate will be on hand during the trip. Leaving a tip for a job well done is much appreciated.

The price of your trip also includes complimentary snacks, drinks (water and beer), lunch, but you’re welcome to bring your own. Please let the captain know if you have any questions or special requests.

This is a children-friendly charter, so you’re welcome to bring your kids on for a fun fishing adventure.
