These waters are known for Great Barracuda, Yellowfin Tuna, Amberjack, Sailfish, Roosterfish, Black Marlin, Cubera Snapper, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Blue Marlin, and more – with any luck, it won't be long before 'Fish on!'

There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Capt. Jonathan has rods and reels for you, along with lures.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Mates often work for tips and it's customary to offer them a 10–20% tip.

You will need to buy 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.

Don't forget to bring sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks included on board.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Flamingo Beach Bay Watersport.

Great Captain
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 28, 20263 adults

we came down specifically for billfish and on a half-day trip. we knew the odds were against us but neing experienced fishermen this is what we wanted. They told us out the gate that its been slow and that we could do some in-shire fishing which was better. we told the Captain no we know ots fishing but want to try billfish. Capt Jonathon worked hard. He was doing everything that we would have done of we were fishing back home. we had four knockdowns, and had one MONSTER bull durado swim throuhh the baits. But ot was not to be. Still a great experience and Capt Jonathon is a very experienced fisherman. we will be back!

Rough Day Inshore But Had Fun
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 16, 20262 adults

Took the 4 hour inshore trip. The wind picked up throughout the morning, but it was manageable on the boat. The Captain and Mate were top notch. They knew the waters well and gave us every chance to catch fish. We trolled with lures and did catch a couple smaller bonita. Just not much biting. Switched to live bait and got two really nice fish on the line. Unfortunately they both broke the line before we could get them in. They kept trying until the very end, even stayed over the 4 hours just trying to get us on more fish. Word on the radio was nobody catching anything that morning. Captain and Mate did a great job and went over and above expectations. Definitely recommend them for future trips!

Rooster fishing - full day
Full Day Trip on April 14, 20264 adults

Me and my girlfriend booked a full day of chasing rooster fish. From the second we got onto the boat the captain and deckhand were super friendly and explaining our game plan for the day. They have tons of fresh fruit and drinks to keep you energized and hydrated for the full day along with lunch! Conditions were tough but the crew didn't stop trying once and always explained what our next move was and why not leaving us in the dark wondering anything. We ended up finding some water that looked productive and it produced. My girlfriend got her first big rooster and is still smiling from it. We did have a couple others chase and hit the baits around but just didn't want to commit but that's why we call it fishing and not catching! These guys know how to guide and do it well. Can't thank them enough and will be booking with them next year to chase roosters again!

Scenic Guanacaste Sport Fishing!
Half Day Trip (AM) on March 14, 20262 adults

We went in mid-March with Captain Jonathan and First Mate Carlos for a half day trip. The day was a bit windy so they started us off in the bay following the birds and caught a small jackfish right away. As we mulled about, we later caught a small black ahi tuna. We did come for the big guys, but we had to wait for the waves to calm a bit in the open waters, once they did we moved out of the bay and they setup the rigs for the big fish. We saw a couple of big sailfish, one hit our bait but ultimately they were uninterested and the day was a bust on catching anything else. We would love to try again during rainy season when the fish are more active! Overall, zero complaints about the trip because Capt Jonathan and Carlos tried the entire time to troll and get us a catch. Super friendly and the fresh fruit & drinks was a really nice treat! Hope to have time to do a full day someday!

The best part of our trip to Costa Rica!!
Half Day Trip (AM) on January 12, 20262 adults

We originally booked a 1/2 day trip with Captain Jonathan and Carlos, but we had such a great time that we extended our vacation and booked an additional full day trip, this time with Jimbo as our deckhand. Both trips we caught sailfish! The crew fed us delicious fresh fruit on both trips, and brought us sandwiches on the full day. Drinks are provided, and they even brought out a special treat for us on the 2nd trip (thanks for the coco locos, guys!). Johnathan and his crew worked hard both trips to get us hooked up, and their hard work paid off. Their experience fishing these waters was very apparent, and we loved hearing the stories they shared with us. We will for sure be booking with these guys again! To the crew: thank you so much for this experience, it was truly the highlight of our trip and we look forward to seeing you guys again!
