We had the most amazing experience with Soleil Sports Fishing in Costa Rica! From start to finish, the crew was incredibly professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. They went above and beyond to make my boyfriend’s birthday special, and they did not disappoint—we landed a beautiful Sailfish! The boat was clean and well-equipped, and the team made sure we were comfortable the entire trip.

If you’re looking for an exciting, well-organized fishing adventure with a crew that truly cares about giving you the best experience, this is the charter to book. We’ll definitely be back!

First trip to Costa Rica and i was so glad i booked this fishing trip out of Quepos with Soleil. Captain Elier was my point of contact and was very cordial and had great communication. He answered all of my questions promptly and gave me tips about fishing off shore as well. We went fishing for a full day with Captain Antonio and first mate David. We started inshore and caught sardines on sabiki rigs and then went trolling for roosterfish. Scenery was amazing but fishing was slow so we zoomed offshore and i’m glad we did! We hooked up with four sailfish and landed two! Catches of a lifetime! We were happy with this and wanted to go back inshore and try for roosterfish again and cubera snapper fish. They were very j accommodating and though we didn’t catch those species we caught some grouper, needlefish and some other species off the beautiful coast of Manual Antonio.  Capitan Antonio and first mate David were extremely knowledgeable, hard working and it was clear that their first priority was our satisfaction. They are expert fishing guides! Don’t hesitate to book with Soleil! They are great!

We chartered a full day off shore trip with Elier.
We immediately got onto Mahi and Yellowfin tuna. We lost two Mahi right off the bat but then hooked into two Yellowfins followed by a nice sailfish for my wife! We then caught another Yellowfin tuna. Towards the end of the day my daughter caught 2 blackfin tunas.

Even if we didn’t catch fish today, Elier is a fantastic Captain and his crew member, Anthony, worked the entire 8 hours. When he wasn’t busy rigging poles, he was filteting our tuna for us, or busy changing our rigs to better our chances.
This crew knows how to fish and they were professional and hardworking. The lunch provided was delicious and there were plenty of drinks in the cooler.
We couldn’t have asked for a better charter.

Captain Elier and his crewman, Anthony, were on time and very friendly.  After gassing up the boat we headed off to catch live bait.  Elier would explain what and why they were doing each task.  Both Elier and Anthony were very knowledgeable of the various species and locations that would offer the best opportunities for a successful day.  We ended up reeling in 3 tunas that Anthony expertly cut into fillets for us to take home.  As we were heading in for the day we experienced high waves, Elier estimated 9 ft waves, but our family felt safe traveling through the choppy waters with Elier at the helm. The only downside was the put in location.  It was a steep hill with rocks.  Had I known the conditions beforehand I could have been better prepared, as I have a disability the impacts my balance. Overall it was a wonderful experience and I would recommend Soliel Sport Fishing to anyone looking to spend the day fishing in Quepos.
