Costa Rica is known as one of the top Billfish destinations in the world, with magical Quepos being one of its fishing epicenters. If you’re looking to explore these bountiful waters with the help of the best, The Relaxer should be at the top of your list!
Join the skilled and knowledgeable crew aboard their newly remodeled 34’ Venture boat. This beauty combines the best of both worlds, the comfort of a center console, and top-notch fishing gadgets. It features twin 300 HP Suzuki outboard engines, outriggers, a Livewell, and an ice-box. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. The Relaxer can comfortably carry up to 10 anglers fishing simultaneously.
Quepos waters are famous for Marlin, Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and Sailfish. Offshore trips usually take place 25 to 40 miles from the coast. In addition to the aforementioned deep-sea species, you’ll also get to target the likes of Roosterfish, Amberjack, and Snapper, depending on the fishing location and your preferences. The First Mate will be there to help you make the most out of your trip. Tipping is customary to show appreciation for their hard work.
You’ll be supplied with top-tier fishing gear, mainly by Shimano, as well as live bait and lures. Fly fishing is also an option if you bring your own gear. Fishing licenses are easily purchased at the marina for $17 per person per day. Soft drinks, beer, and water and included. Full-day trips include lunch, while shorter trips will have light snacks. Bring sunscreen and sunglasses, and The Relaxer will take care of everything!
Join them on the water and let them create your next favorite memory!

9 Hour Trip – Offshore on January 17, 2026 • 4 adults
From the time of booking, i receieved whats app messages, text messages, and fishing booker app messages from 3 differenet people!! The first was a confirmation text for wrong boat and date! every line of communication I emphasized that we only wanted to fish for Tuna. Owner of charter ensured me live bait would be on the boat in preparation for tuna fishing! when we arrived to the boat on the charter day, the captain asked 'what are we targeting for'?!!!! Are you serious, i texted Steve, Johnny, and Didier that we wanted tuna and you ask on our arrival what we want to target! And guess what, there was no live bait on board! Organizational skills for this operation is not what earned stars! capt and first mate are not at fault, they were a great crew, but to have to go through our 5th. charter out of quepos and still not be prepped for tuna which was noted on app from time of booking, is poor business!

The fish didn't cooperate but the trip was still great
9 Hour Trip – Offshore on January 10, 2026 • 8 adults
We booked The Relaxer lookingbfor an experienced captain and crew, not a bunch of creature comforts. If you are looking for a cabin where you can hang out and be comfortable until there is a fish on, this is not the boat for you. If you are looking for a local who will work their butts off to get fish, even on a day no other boats are catching, this is your boat. Bring sunscreen, a sun shirt, a hat and a good attitude and you will have a blast. We didn't catch as much as we wanted but we did get some, and we saw plenty of sea life. We would definitely book The Relaxer again.

Exceptional Experience!
7 Hour Trip – Offshore on February 6, 2026 • 4 adults
Our favorite deep sea charter fishing experience. We've gone on about 8 charter fishing trips over the past few years in Central America and this one checked all of the boxes. Very fair price. Extremely knowledgeable first mate and captain. Easy communication. Easy pickup/dropoff. Fish everywhere. Boat was spacious for 4 people easily. They prepared all sorts of food for us. 15/10 will go again!

A Fun Five Hour Near Shore Trip
5 Hour Trip – Nearshore (PM) on February 15, 2025 • 2 adults
Captain Yiyo and First Mate Warner were excellent. They were easy going and did their best to make our trip successful. We caught Spanish mackerel and Jack crevalle. The crew worked hard to find the fish using Rapala trolling and sardine live bait techniques. Warner was very attentive and did his best to teach me live bait fishing, but it was a tricky...especially in not setting the hook too soon. There were several major location moves. The unspoiled and pristine coastline with mountains in the background was truly a memorable sight to behold. We got a lot of fishing in during the five hours. At the end, the guys forgot to give us our fileted catch. Luckily, we remembered to get our fresh fish, and a restaurant did a beautiful job of preparing our fresh mackerel meal. I recommend The Relaxer. My wife and I had fun, and it was good value for our experience.

Great experience!
9 Hour Trip – Offshore on February 18, 2025 • 2 adults
We had an excellent time. If you are like me and on this website unsure of what to look for, this is a great pick. We wanted to land some big fish and that's exactly what we got! The captain and mate were friendly and knowledgeable. The boat is comfortable and well outfitted with equipment. There is a bathroom! We got several sailfish and tuna. We are very pleased with the experience. We would definitely recommend this outfit to other people looking for the fishing trip of a lifetime!
