Welcome to Costa Rica, where the thrill of world-class fishing meets the warmth of the Pura Vida lifestyle. Here, the waters are alive with action year-round, offering both seasoned anglers and adventurous newcomers a playground of opportunities. From battling acrobatic sailfish to taking on the mighty blue marlin, Costa Rica is a fishing haven that promises memories—and stories—that will last a lifetime.
Sailfish reign supreme in Costa Rica, dazzling with their electric blues and silver flashes as they leap skyward in epic battles. During the peak season from December through March, the waters are teeming with these charismatic creatures, offering 10+ shots a day at hooking one of these marine marvels. Looking for bigger game? Blue marlin are in the mix year-round and can be targeted during the summer months at the offshore FADs, where overnight and multi-day trips unlock heart-pounding action for serious anglers. Want to fill the cooler? The “groceries” are always in stock—mahi, tuna, and wahoo can load up your box in minutes when you find the bite.
For inshore enthusiasts, Costa Rica delivers with the giant roosterfish, a fan-favorite for their hard fights and unforgettable battles. Whether it’s sight-casting on the flats or hunting along the rocky shores, these fish provide all the adrenaline you can handle. Costa Rica is also one of the few places where you fish inshore in the morning and tackle a billfish slam in the afternoon—talk about versatility!
What truly sets Costa Rica apart is the heartwarming hospitality of its captains and crews. They don’t just put you on the fish—they teach you how to become a better angler. From perfecting the art of the drop-back to expertly handling frenzied sails and blues, you’ll leave with more than just memories—you’ll leave with skills. And when the day’s fishing is done, you’ll feel like family, often enjoying a dinner of fresh catches with your crew and their loved ones.
