Instead of loading every boat on the hub page, this section gives visitors representative choices from the main destinations and sends them to the dedicated location pages for the complete fleet.
The live Charters page also covers smaller and more remote destinations. They are worth keeping for long-tail SEO, but they are easier to scan when grouped separately from the main commercial charter hubs.
Start with where you are staying or the marina you want to fish from.
Offshore billfish and tuna, or inshore roosterfish, snapper and coastal species.
Match the boat size, capacity, comfort level and current rate to your group.
Send your dates and we can help narrow the best available options.

Jaco and Los Sueños are convenient for Central Pacific visitors, Quepos is a strong option near Manuel Antonio, and Tamarindo works well for travelers staying in Guanacaste. Your best choice depends on your lodging, target species and trip dates.
Current published full-day rates on this website range from around $1,050 for some smaller Jaco boats to more than $3,600 for larger premium sportfishers. Prices vary by destination, boat, trip length, taxes and availability.
Choose offshore if marlin, sailfish, yellowfin tuna or mahi-mahi are your priorities. Choose inshore for roosterfish, snapper and other coastal species, or if you prefer less travel time.
For offshore fishing, a full day generally gives the captain more time and flexibility to locate productive water. Half-day and three-quarter-day options are often a better fit for inshore trips.
Yes. Many inshore and shorter charter options can work well for families and first-time anglers. Tell us your group size and experience level so we can recommend an appropriate boat.
Inclusions vary by boat but can include captain and crew, rods and reels, bait, tackle, drinks, snacks, safety equipment and other trip-specific items. Confirm exact inclusions before booking.
