I've spent 8 years learning which captains put you on fish and which ones just put you on a boat. That difference is what I sell.
I've fished with most of them. I know who works hard when the bite is slow, who calls it early, and who will have you back at the dock with stories worth telling. You're booking my judgment, not a listing.
Most people book the boat and figure out the rest when they land. I've seen that go wrong too many times. I handle the hotel, the transfers, the in-between days. You show up ready to fish.
Most fishing sites are run from the US by people who've never met the captains. I live 20 minutes from Los Sueños. When something changes on the water, I know before you could Google it.
Tell me the basics. I'll put together something real, not a price list with packages you didn't ask for.
Got it. I'll have your custom quote in your inbox within 12 business hours.
Anyone who gives you a single best time to fish Costa Rica hasn't actually fished it. It depends where you're going, what you're after, and what you're willing to sit through to get it.

Honestly, there's good fishing somewhere in Costa Rica every month of the year. What changes is the species and the zone. Share your dates and I'll tell you where to go.
For two people on a full trip — charter, hotel, transfers — you're looking at around $4,000 as a starting reference. It scales from there based on the group size and how many days you want on the water. My cut comes from the operators I work with, so planning costs you nothing.
There are four main marinas in Costa Rica: Los Sueños and Quepos on the central Pacific near San José, and Papagayo and Flamingo up in Guanacaste near Liberia. You can also fish plenty of great spots without a marina at all. It really depends on where you're flying in, what you want to catch, and when.
Not at all. I plan trips for experienced anglers, first-timers, couples, and families. The captains handle the fishing — you just need to show up.
At minimum I handle the charter, captain selection, and logistics. Full packages include hotel, airport transfers, fishing days, and anything in between. If you already have your accommodation and flights sorted, I can also just book you the boat. It depends on what you need.
Offshore you're looking at sailfish, blue marlin, black marlin, striped marlin, yellowfin tuna, dorado, and wahoo. Inshore there's roosterfish, snook, cubera snapper, jack crevalle, among others. Costa Rica produces IGFA world records almost every season — the sailfish in particular are incredibly aggressive.
Zero. I work on commission from the captains and hotels I book — no extra charge on your end. If you don't go, I don't get paid.
