Return to Sportfishing

Welcome to one of the most experienced sportfishing outfits in all of Costa Rica. With more than 30 years working the warm Pacific ports of this country, we guarantee our guests an unparalleled sportfishing experience. Other sites might book boats in Costa Rica, but none can claim a more intimate knowledge of the boats they serve, or the waters they fish. We can tell you everything you want to know about our boats, their equipment, the crew, the ports we fish from, and the habits and seasons of the various fish we catch. Costa Rican Dreams -  we can turn your sportfishing dreams into reality.       

Year-round big game fishing is what you can expect here. Quepos is considered by many to be one of the top fishing destinations in the world.  Pacific Sailfish (much larger than their Atlantic cousins), Marlin, Dorado, and 200lb. Tuna abound in these waters. The IGFA all-tackle for dolphin, an 87 pounder was captured here.  The other great thing you can usually count on is calm waters. Because the wind patterns blow to the northern part of Costa Rica, we usually enjoy flat seas. Our fishing grounds are anywhere from 12 to 35 miles out with most of our time spent about 45 minutes offshore. It is common to release a dozen or more sails and even a marlin or two in a single day, and not unusual to release 20 sails in one day. The all time tournament record of 1,691 billfish releases by 120 anglers in four days was established in Costa Rica a few years ago during the International Sailfish Tournament. At last count there were more than 70 current IGFA world record fish from Costa Rica waters including 17 all tackle marks. It's also not uncommon to hear about a couple Super Grand Slams (sailfish, #315A84, black and striped marlin released on the same day) each year, and during the peak season its routine to get a Grand Slam (three of the four billfish species released on the same day). Each year the Billy Pate International Sailfish Fly Fishing Tournament is held in Quepos. This tournament consistently posts the highest catch and release records of any similar tournament in the world.
