Gladiator Sportfishing Samara
Gladiator Sportfishing Samara has a trip with your name on it along the stunning waters of Samara.
These waters are known for Black Marlin, Wahoo, Jack Crevalle, Blue Marlin, Yellowfin Tuna, Cubera Snapper, Mahi Mahi, Striped Marlin, Sailfish, Roosterfish, Yellowtail Amberjack, Grouper, and more.
Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself spinning, popping, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Simone also offers fly fishing and fly gear is included. Young ones are welcome, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board.
Your trip begins aboard a 28' Super Panga with room for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Mates often work for tips, and it's customary to offer them a 10–20% tip. The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.
A few items to bring include sunglasses, a hat, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. There will be drinks and snacks available on board, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.
And that's it! Your fishing trip with Gladiator Sportfishing Samara is just a click away.

Have you always dreamed of sportfishing in Costa Rica? We are located in Playa Samara with decades of experience in this excellent area for inshore and deep water. Our spots are not far away from our base; this makes our displacement to the spot short and allows us to take full advantage of the time on the boat. English, Spanish, and Italian spoken.
