Down To Fish

Make some memories in Playa Flamingo and go fishing with Down To Fish. With Captain Danilo at the helm, you’ll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.

Depending on conditions, you might hook into Black Marlin, Striped Marlin, Blue Marlin, Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Pacific Barracuda, Bluefin Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Roosterfish, and anything else that bites. On the day of your trip, you’re likely to troll and bottom fish. For the more adventurous among you, there’s spearfishing.

Your fishing machine for the day is a 48’ Viking sportfishing vessel with a capacity for 10 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, a fighting chair, and all the essentials. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Rods, reels, and tackle are included, along with lures. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

You’ll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.

There’s no need to buy a fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.

It’s always wise to bring sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be food and some light snacks provided on board.
