Bring a towel, sunglasses, hat, sunscreen, food. They have drinks and fruit. You cannot wear your shoes with sand on the boat so if you want to fish in shoes bring another pair. Not sure if there is a bathroom on boat but I doubt it.

Watch the weather especially the wind. Nobody likes rough seas. Even though the fishing can be best with rough seas.

Consider the 3/4 day trip. If we only fished 1/2 day we would not have caught fish.

If you are only going for a half-day, try and decide if you would rather have faster action with maybe less-desirable fish or try for the desirable yellowfin or larger mahi mahi but may not get many bites. The fishing grounds for each are far apart and the boating time between each area drastically cuts into your fishing time.

We only set out for sailfish, but we were told that mahi and tuna were in season as well. March is a great time to fish in Costa Rica.
