Book your next trip with Swordfish Sportfishing and find out what makes the fishing in marina pez vela quepos
so unique. With Captain Randy at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

Fishing around here will often see you targeting Amberjack, Mahi Mahi, Black Grouper, Jack Crevalle, Black Marlin, Blue Marlin, Striped Marlin, Snook, Sailfish, Yellowfin Tuna, Cubera Snapper, Roosterfish, and more, depending on conditions.

Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself spinning, popping, trolling, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Randy also offers fly fishing, and the gear is included. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned. Now that's dinner!

You'll be casting lines from a 31' Offshore sport fishing that holds up to 5 passengers. It comes with downriggers, a fighting chair, all the essentials no fishing machine can run without, and a toilet on board. What's more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary. You might need to get a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Don't forget to bring sunblock (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. Drinks and snacks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.

Adventure awaits! Book your trip with Swordfish Sportfishing!
