Papagayo Fishing Charters

You may book with us a fishing charter for 4, 6 or 8 hours; it depends on the type of fishing you want to do.

The 4 hours goes from 7.30am until noon; the 6 hours from 7.30am until 1.30-2pm and the comeback for a full day charter (8 hours) is around 3.30pm, but usually a little more.

You can book an inshore (coastal) charter for: four, six, or eight hour. We recommend booking at least 6 hours and better yet 8 hours. The more hours, the better; therefore, we have the chance to try different tides (high, medium, low) and more distant places.

On the other hand, we reach offshore spots by chartering a boat for six or eight hours. We recommend booking the full day (8 hours) and have the chance to stay fishing for about 6 hour; since the running time of the boat is one hour or more in each direction.

You can request that we split a full day charter and fish, half a day offshore and half a day inshore on the way back; sometimes it is possible, sometimes it is not.

Deep Sea Fishing Charters

Gulf of Papagayo is the right place to target for Billfish (sailfish and blue, striped and black marlin) in Costa Rica; also very good-sized Mahi-Mahi and seasonal Wahoo and Yellowfin Tuna. The Humboldt Current flows from south to north and feeds this water. The very near continental shelf extents from 100 to thousands of meters and is a very productive place where to target for Billfish and other offshore species.

Inshore Fishing Charters

The Roosterfish is our main target; even more, when we fish for this specie, we can go after Cubera Snapper, large Amberjack, and other species as well; anyway, the bait and habitat are the same for these species too.

The largest Roosterfish, while fishing in Papagayo, is caught West in the Gulf, near the Catalinas Islands, near Flamingo Beach or North, near the Bat Islands, Playa Blanca and the Parrott Islands (Isla Las Loras), in shallow water, not deeper than 200ft.

Remember, to release for the future!!!
