Every trip is designed to give you the best opportunity for an unforgettable day on the water. With quality equipment, a dedicated crew, and the flexibility to adapt to changing conditions, the focus is always on finding fish—not just logging hours offshore.

Whether you’re chasing trophy roosterfish, tuna, mahi-mahi, sailfish, marlin, or any of Costa Rica’s incredible game fish, every charter is planned around the day’s conditions to maximize your chances of success. We don’t believe in trolling around aimlessly or sitting in one spot hoping the fish come to us. We actively hunt fish by reading the conditions, covering water, and making adjustments throughout the day. If Plan A isn’t producing, we’ll move to Plan B, C, or D. If the fish move, we’ll move too.

From experienced anglers to first-time fishermen, everyone is welcome aboard. Expect a safe, professional, and relaxed atmosphere where hard work, local knowledge, and great customer service come together to create an authentic Costa Rican fishing experience. Every trip is run with one goal in mind: giving you the best possible opportunity to catch quality fish and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Its called fishing and not catching !
HALF DAY OFFSHORE (AM) on April 26, 20266 adults

Cody was awesome I mess up my booking and he quickly responded to help change it to the correct day. Easy to find the boat and the crew was freindly and informative. Any question we had they answered made us feel comfortable and the whole nine. We had one bite and no catches but they cant make them bite. Overall it was a great trip great crew they really do work hard and keep it moving. We tried several spots and they kept it going to the bitter end. Thank yall for the trip and i hope to have better luck next time!

Deep Republic Offshore Charter
Special 6 hour trip for Brandon Davidson on April 7, 20265 adults

Our trip with Deep Republic was awesome. Unfortunately it was a slower day but we still managed to get one sailfish to the boat. Josh and his crew were great, professional, and friendly. They were working hard the entire time to get us on fish and the snacks and refreshments on board were a huge plus. If you are considering a fishing charter I highly recommend Deep Republic!

HALF DAY OFFSHORE (AM) on March 31, 20265 adults1 child

Captain and crew worked hard to get fish in the boat in a short amount of time…moved spots, changed bait size, and switched tactics to target different species. Was able to get fish for meals as well as a trophy. Would highly recommend and will rebook if ever in the area again. Thanks Josh!

Not afraid to chase the fish
Full Day Offshore on May 11, 20262 adults

We had a great experience with Josh and his crew. Like Josh says he's not afraid to burn Gas to chase the fish. We were targeting tuna and hooked into a few. Boat size was great especially to get out of the sun between runs. Would definitely booking again

Reported catch:
Yellowfin Tuna
