In Quepos, the Pacific doesn’t whisper — it roars. And if you’re the kind of angler who chases adrenaline as much as fish, this is where you belong.

Your captain knows these waters like a second language. He reads the tides, hunts the currents, and takes you straight into the action — whether that means spinning over boiling bait balls, trolling bluewater highways, jigging deep structure, or dropping into the world of spearfishing. Bring your fly gear and you can test your skills against some of the most explosive species on the coast.

Your day on the water unfolds aboard Orca, a sleek 30' Center Console built for both speed and soul. Her twin Suzuki engines push her to 36 knots, launching you ahead of the fleet and into untouched water before the bigger boats even clear the marina.

She’s spacious enough for large groups, agile enough to thread tight inshore channels and tough enough to punch offshore swells — the perfect balance for anglers who want range, speed, and versatility.

Onboard, you’ll find outriggers, downriggers, quality tackle, bait, lures, a private toilet, a shaded deck, and a cooler packed with lunch, fresh fruit, snacks, sodas, water, and ice‑cold Costa Rican beer. A skilled first mate keeps the pace high and the lines tight. The crew works hard before, during, and after the trip. 10–20% tips are customary. 

Families are welcome, and children’s life vests are also available as safety is always at the forefront.

Billfish are released with respect for local regulations, and your captain will guide you through best practices. A fishing license is required and can be purchased online through INCOPESCA.  **hidden content**.

Meet us at the public dock at Marina Pez Vela — drive to the end of the road and step into a day built for adventure, speed, and unforgettable catches.

At the helm is Captain Soto — the newest face running charters out of Quepos, yet with deeply rooted experience. Born and raised with the Pacific Ocean as his backyard his fishing career was forged in the toughest waters and his maritime journey spans commercial decks, mega‑yachts, and elite service. From a young age he learned to read the tides, track the currents, and understand the rhythms of these waters with an instinct only locals possess. As a teenager, he entered the demanding world of commercial fishing, mastering the physical intensity and precision required for deep‑sea operations. By his early twenties, he earned his official Captain’s License, marking him as a trusted professional on the water. Between service years, he captained a 269‑foot mega‑yacht, navigating complex routes and delivering high‑end hospitality to international guests. During his service with the Coast Guard, Captain Soto faced the ocean at its most unforgiving — including surviving two major hurricanes at sea. His calm under pressure, safety protocols, and split‑second decision‑making are unmatched. When you step aboard his vessel, you’re in some of the safest hands in Costa Rica. He’s also a fierce competitor, having fished numerous high‑stakes tournaments both locally and internationally, refining his techniques against top anglers worldwide. What sets Captain Soto apart is his humility and dedication to excellence. Though he brings global maritime experience, he honors the unique nuances of the local fishery. He has spent countless hours collaborating with regional veteran sportfishermen to pinpoint promising fishing zones, shifting local currents, specific tidal patterns, and hidden hazards. By blending his training, heavy-seas experience, and inherited family traditions with the modern secrets of the local fleet, Captain Soto offers a charter experience that is safe, professional, and devastatingly effective at finding fish. Book your trip today and experience the Pacific with a captain who truly lives and breathes the sea.
