Deep Republic Spearfishing & Freediving
Herradura, PU, Costa Rica

I left my life in the United States and moved here to chase trophy fish — and that's exactly how I run my charters, with that same passion behind every trip. I'm not the cheapest boat, and that's intentional. You're paying for quality gear, an experienced crew, and a captain who's willing to run to where the fish are. If the bite isn't happening, we move. My goal isn't to save fuel — it's to get you on trophy fish and give you a real fishing day.

I take a lot of pride in the way I run my trips — quality gear, a solid crew, and the freedom to run where the fish are. We run good equipment, keep our gear dialed in, and we're not afraid to burn fuel to find fish. I'm not here to sit in one spot and hope. I'm here to hunt fish.

Every trip is different, but the standard stays the same: we fish hard and we give you a real shot at quality fish — not excuses.

Whether you want to stay close to shore or get far offshore, every trip is run with the same mindset: fish hard, fish smart, and don't cut corners.

HALF DAY BILLFISH (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!

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

Yellowfin Tuna

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!

3/4 Day Offshore on June 11, 20254 adults
We had an amazing time with Josh and Dani today. Had to make a hard run to get to the tuna but had a fantastic day. These guys were prepared, experienced, a lot of fun and extremely kind and patient with my 3 teenage kids. I was very impressed with the preparation and effort and beyond pleased with the results. Highly recommend these guys. And the absence of any language barrier is a bonus. Can't complain about Spanish in Costa Rica but English speaking captain and mate makes things so much easier.

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!
