Sport Fishing Trips

Fishing trip: Half day (4hour), Full day (8hour), 3/4 day (6hour)

Location: Playa Tamarindo or Flamingo beach (25minutes from Tamarindo)

Fishing Report: Depending the season, Yellowfin Tuna, Marlin, Sailfish, Mahi-Mahi, Red Snapper, Grouper, Roosterfish & more.

A Good fishing Day: There are simply no words to properly describe what it is like to catch a large billfish. It is more like wrestling than fishing, and the excitement of watching a massive fish jumping and freaking out at the end of the line can not be missed. The adrenaline flows along with the beer, and the arm muscles burn like hell when the fight is over. Billfish change color and "flash" like electric signs when they are on the line, and by the time they are wrenched to the boat you will have a new respect for the beauty and power of these amazing animals. Costa Rica is arguably the best spot in the world for billfishing, and the close proximity to the continental shelf make for more fishing time and less motoring to the fishing grounds. On the day that this video was shot, we landed 5 billfish.

Price: Depend on the type of boat, length of the trip, and types of fish desired. In Tamarindo, prices per boat are always around $480/Half day - $1000/Full day and Flamingo $375 - $800/Full day.
