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!

Capt Elier and his mate Raul were both very nice . we caught bait first thing , and filled the live well pretty quick, then started trolling pretty quick for rooterfish along a secluded beach , we tried for a while and had no luck so we motor to a spot more out in open water and started fishing for something for dinner and pretty quickly started hooking up. i caught 5 Jack Crevalle which were pretty nice size and very strong fighting fish. a couple of Blue Runners and 3 Rainbow Runners which i kept for dinner. we the shot over to the rocks between MA and Quepos and trolled for Roosterfish again the area we were trolling in was amazing. Elier tried and tried to get me a Roosterfish but it wasnt to be that day.
l did a full day inshore trip and he fished right up to 3pm and then some.
Also the Capt brought drinks, watermelon and some empanadas for lunch which is a nice plus
Raul filleted my fish up at end of trip and I was eating it an hour later. Can’t get much fresher than that
2 things worth mentioning are
1) there is no head on boat , so may be an issue for some.
2) i got picked up at Bahia Azul Resturant. to board boat there may be difficult for some. If you have any balance or mobility issues,he offers pickup for $40 extra at the marina next door, so that may be a good idea for those folks.
Overall I had a very positive and memorable experience

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.
