If you’re ready to go sport fishing in Quepos, come aboard the Dia Tuanis. Captain Javier will be your guide, which allows you to benefit from more than 19 years of knowledge and experience.
Around here, fishing is popular for Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Black Marlin, Cubera Snapper, Roosterfish, Sailfish, and more with any luck. During the trip, you might be spinning, popping, trolling, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Fish caught during the trip are yours to take home, so long as they’re within the legal limit. The crew can even clean your catch for you. Have a cooler ready in the car!
Your fishing machine for the day is a 28’ Shamrock offshore sport fishing with space for 4 passengers. It has outriggers, a fighting chair, and all the essentials, plus a toilet on board for your convenience. Capt. Javier will provide rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.
Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. Remember to bring a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but avoid hard liquor and glass bottles. There will be light snacks available on board.
A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. Mates often work for tips, and it’s customary to offer them a 10–20% tip. 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 may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

3/4 Day Trip Offshore
Had an excellent day. Got on some good tuna and caught a bunch of 50/60 pounders. Absolutely wore me out. Javier, Tony and crew were excellent…super nice and knowledgeable. Great fisherman. Would highly recommend.

Javier and Andy are a great team! They made the trip easy for my group. We caught 5 big tuna which was really fun. Javier got us in the right place at the right time. Andy kept things running smoothly and even prepared some tasty snacks for us. We had a wonderful time and I Highly recommend them to anyone planning a fishing trip.

3/4 Day Trip Offshore
Javier is just an all-around great guy! He was unable to take us out due to unplanned maintenance on his boat, but he facilitated an outing with another captain (Randy) for the same cost (and a slightly upgraded boat) under a compressed timeline. I will certainly be using him when I return to Quepos. Be sure to ask about his multi-day trips!
