Running angling trips out of Quepos, Top Notch Fishing Costa Rica invites you to check out the local fishery in style.
Capt. Rolando and the crew will do their best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. They specialize in bottom fishing and trolling all to get you on that bite. This involves 4 to 8-hour trips, mainly fishing for Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, Roosterfish, Tuna, Marlin, and Wahoo, depending on the season and conditions of the day.
Your fishing adventure starts on a 45’ Viking boat that can safely take up to 8 anglers. This boat features a toilet, an AC, an ice box, and a fighting chair.
When it comes to rods, reels, and terminal tackle, everything you need is included in the price. Please keep in mind you’ll need to get a fishing license before the start of the trip. You’re welcome to keep all legal species caught during the trip.
Here to help you with anything you need, the first mate will be on hand during the trip. Leaving a cash tip for a job well done is customary (20%) and much appreciated.
You’ll find free snacks and drinks on the boat for your convenience, but you’re always welcome to pack your own drinks and snacks should you want to.
Up for a family trip? This is a children-friendly business, so bring your loved ones to share these memories with.
Book your trip now and hit the water with Top Notch Fishing Costa Rica.
