If you're ready to get hooked on fishing in Playa Flamingo, book a trip with Blackfin Sportfishing.
These waters hold game fish like Pacific Barracuda, Amberjack, Yellowfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Almaco Jack, Goliath Grouper, African Pompano Jack, Skipjack Tuna, Broomtail Grouper, and more, depending on when you go. On the day of your trip you're likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.
Any fish within the legal limit are yours to take home. Catch cleaning is available, so you can take your fish home without any hassle. How's that for fresh seafood?
Your trip begins aboard a 27' center console with space for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, a fighting chair, everything you need for a productive day on the water. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures.
A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.
Before coming aboard, you will need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.
It's always wise to bring sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks for you on board.

Captain and first mate were so kind and awesome! We had a wonderful time on the water and caught some great fish, too! I highly recommend them for a fun outing!
We had a great time during the charter, the captain got us on a blackfin tuna & spanish mack. We also got to dive to cool off once we finished trolling & casting. Definitely recommend doing a full day if you are going after bigger fish but overall had a great time!

Pick up is not your typical boat marina, as you board on the shore. Not a problem just FYI. Our captain Raul spoke enough English for us to understand each other and worked his tail off to get us on the big fish, but it just wasn’t meant to be. We caught a few bait fish (Bonita) and my son brought in the only decent fish, an ocean far. Didn’t even know there were far in the ocean. Other than that we got skunked. It happens. But, it wasn’t for lack of effort. Raul took us to multiple spots and tried multiple tactics to get the fish, they just weren’t having it. Next time I’m in CR I’ll be back with these guys.
This was our second trip with the black fin and hopefully not our last, ishmail and rolo did an awesome job getting us into fish, fun guys to hang out with and ended with a trophy size rooster of a lifetime, estimated to be over 80lbs They have the knowledge and the gear to get you on the fish

Raúl was great, skilled, and very entertaining. We were able to go fishing and snorkeling which was very cool. We hooked one really large fish that unfortunately got away bit we caught about 6 Bonita which was really fun. He even cut up fresh sashimi and prepared it with soy and wasabi which I have never seen a captain do before
Captain Luis is top notch. He’s a local that knows the waters like the back of his hand. We had a fantastic day, saw a lot of marine life and he put us on the fish with multiple catches. 10/10 would highly recommend.
These guys are the real deal! Boat and equipment were in perfect condition. Our captain, Raúl, was simply phenomenal. A huge source of knowledge about the area and fishing. We did fish quite a lot of tunas that we later had for lunch and were awesome. Super grateful of having the chance to live this experience.
Perfect day fishing. Captain and mate were awesome. I was looking to catch some rooster fish and boy did we. 6 rooster's, 1 jack and even a little shark. What a great day. Highly recommend these guys.

Romero was really good. Unfortunately not a great day for landing a boatload of fish. Super windy and choppy so we couldn’t get out real far. Romero did his best to get us on some fish. Landed 3, lost 2. I’ve never fished out here before so we were going in blind. Don’t know whether trolling was best or bottom rig. We trolled the entire time. We did take about 45 minutes to snorkel which was cool. Very low key and not touristy. Romero had some fresh caught sashimi ready for us as a surprise when we got back in the boat. The only negative I would say is we spent a good amount of time trying to catch baitfish (which I feel like he should have had on board already or at least cut bait). Only caught one bait and another boat gave us one of theirs, though we caught nothing on a live bait setup. Overall it was fun. No real complaints. It’s called fishing, not catching!

Nice day on the water, caught a yellowfin, triggerfish, barracuda and a few snappers. Highly recommended
