Nestled in Costa Rica's Southern Zone, Golfito offers world-class sportfishing experiences in pristine waters. This tropical paradise serves as the gateway to the Golfo Dulce, a unique tropical fjord where the rich biodiversity creates perfect conditions for both inshore and offshore fishing adventures.

Golfito fishing is renowned for its year-round opportunities, with the prime season running from November to May during Costa Rica's dry season. These months bring the coveted Pacific sailfish, which can reach impressive lengths of 3 meters and weights up to 100 kilos. The waters also host the mighty blue marlin, recognized as one of the ocean's largest and strongest fish, measuring over 4 meters and weighing more than 600 kilos.

Anglers visiting Golfito can choose between deep-sea expeditions or fishing within the protected Golfo Dulce. Offshore adventures, typically 10-20 kilometers from the coast, target migratory giants like sailfish and marlin. Meanwhile, the bay offers exciting opportunities for dorado, tuna, roosterfish, snapper, wahoo, and grouper.

The area's natural harbor combines with stunning tropical surroundings, including picturesque beaches, brackish estuaries, mountainous rainforests, and rugged coastlines. Local captains are highly skilled at locating prime fishing spots, whether you're rock fishing off Matapalo, fly fishing at river mouths, or heading to blue water for 'the fads.'

Beyond fishing, Golfito serves as an excellent jumping-off point for exploring nearby attractions, including Puerto Jiménez across the bay, Corcovado National Park, and the surfing breaks of Pavones and Zancudo. With its combination of exceptional fishing opportunities and natural beauty, Golfito stands as one of Costa Rica's premier fishing destinations.
