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.

3/4 Day Trip Offshore
My husband and I had such a great time with Captain Javier and his first mate - from the very beginning Captain Javier's communication was timely and transparent. We got to head out early before 7 AM and were the first on the water. We caught 3 Sailfish and 1 Mahi Mahi. (One sailfish was scarily big 😳). The boat was clean and perfect for fishing; the cover helped - my sea sickness didn't last too long! LOL. The pineapple, watermelon, drinks, and snacks were very much appreciated too. We also got to see dolphins up close and personal. 🥹. If you're considering booking, do it! 💯. It was worth every penny spent - great value and even better experience that we'll remember forever!

5 Half day Trip (AM) inshore
Where to start? I booked a half day inshore trip for 3 with Captain Javier to target roosterfish as a bucket list goal for my girlfriend. We had a nice ride on the Dia Tuanis to our fishing area where we set our lines and got to work. Even though it was early, it was hot. But the ambiance and fellowship with Javier, first mate Junior, and Javy's girlfriend really made the trip. All the hard work eventually paid off, and my girlfriend caught a 31" Rooster! Although it was the only fish of the day, it was totally worth it!
