About Fishing Charters Costa Rica
We help anglers find the right private boat on Costa Rica’s Central Pacific coast. You see clear prices, honest advice and boats from three ports on one site.
Why we built this site
Booking a fishing trip in Costa Rica used to mean a dozen emails, hidden prices, and every captain saying his boat was the best.
We wanted it to be simpler. So we put the boats from Los Sueños, Jacó and Quepos side by side, with real photos, lengths, guest limits and published rates. You can see in a few minutes which boat fits your group and budget.
Once you’ve narrowed it down, we do the legwork. We check which boats are free on your date, confirm the total, and send the dock and meeting time.
What you can expect from us
Prices up front
Each boat shows its real full-day rate, so you can compare before you message anyone.
Private boats only
You never share the boat with strangers. The captain, mate and deck are reserved for your group.
Honest matching
If a smaller, cheaper boat suits your group and target fish, that’s the one we suggest.
Help before and after
Questions about dates, docks, licenses or what to bring are answered by a real person.
Three ports, one place to compare
Each port has its own fleet and style. Pick the one closest to where you’re staying.

Billfish go back in the water
Healthy fish stocks are what keep this coast worth fishing. Every sailfish and marlin caught on our charters is released, and crews use circle hooks to help the fish survive.
- Sailfish and marlin are always released
- Dorado, tuna and snapper kept only for eating
- Every angler holds a Costa Rica fishing license

About booking with us
Which boats do you list?
Private sportfishing boats that operate from Los Sueños and Herradura Bay, Jacó, and Marina Pez Vela in Quepos. They range from 28-foot boats for two people to a 58-foot yacht.
Can you help if I don’t know which port to choose?
Yes. Tell us where you’re staying and what you want to catch, and we’ll suggest the port and boats that make the most sense.
Are the prices on the site final?
They are the published full-day rates. Taxes and inclusions vary by boat, so we confirm the exact total in writing before you book.
Do you only do fishing?
Yes, fishing is all we do. Some of the larger boats can split the day between fishing and cruising, which suits mixed groups.
