What anglers said about Sailfish Fishing in Costa Rica

Cash is king; almost all transportation is cash only (dollars or colones). Sunscreen and proper clothing; the sun is strong and the humidity is high.

The strong wind made fishing tough, and eventually we had to cut our day short, the Captain said that was an anomaly for this time of year. But we all know that is fishing, a word to the wise check your weather ahead of booking. This crew was awesome and made the trip in bad weather worth it.

The captain said some weather came through right before we were there so it was not as good as they sometimes experience. We still did manage to catch 4 tuna and had a good time!

I would recommend to prepare for the sun and heat!! Bring lightweight, long sleeved shirt, hat and lots of sunscreen. Also, have a plan for any fish you catch!

The trip is behind the pelican restaurant next to los suenos. A mistake I made was going to los suenos marina. Then I had to walk 20 min. To the actual spot.

Make sure your captain takes the time to catch live bait if you're fishing inshore! The more bait you have, the better.
