Offshore Fishing Costa Rica
The blue marlin and sailfish game here in Costa Rica is one of the best in the world. We are proud to offer you multiple offshore fishing packages from day trips to overnight trips to fish the FADs. Whether you are trying to fly fish offshore or just use conventional gear, our trusted partners have you covered!
TOUR INFO
ABOUT: Quepos, which is known as the fishing capital of Costa Rica, has a long standing history of being the go-to destination for offshore and inshore anglers. And is only getting more popular because of the brand new Pez Vela Marina. Average run times are between 45 minutes and 1.5 hours depending on the destination. FADs trips typically require an overnight run.
TARGET SPECIES: Our target species here are typically sailfish and blue marlin. Black Marlin, Tuna, dorado, and wahoo can often be caught as well.
FISHING SEASON: Offshore fishing is truly year round with transitional months being May-August. Our high season is Dec-April. Sept-Oct are still great fishing for blue marlin, tuna, and mahi but you may fight the chance of an afternoon rain storm.
Offshore day trips, as well of multi-day FADs/Seamount trips available.
