Jaco, Los Sueños and Quepos are major Central Pacific fishing destinations, while Tamarindo and other Guanacaste areas provide strong North Pacific options. The best choice depends on where you are staying, your dates and your target species.
Choose offshore fishing if your main targets are marlin, sailfish, tuna or mahi-mahi. Inshore fishing is ideal for roosterfish, snapper and coastal species, and can also work well for families and shorter fishing days.
Fishing is available year-round. On the Central Pacific, sailfish are especially popular from roughly December through April, while marlin, tuna and mahi-mahi can be strong during other parts of the year. Inshore species such as roosterfish and snapper can be targeted year-round.
Prices vary substantially by destination, boat size and trip duration. Smaller boats and half-day trips cost less, while larger premium sportfishers and full-day charters cost more. Request current availability so we can recommend options for your group.
