Captain Eric is your Key to unlock the renowned angling opportunities that can only be found off Quepos. Join Eric and his Crew aboard their 40-foot Luhrs for a half day adventure to stay a little closer to shore but still have the opportunity to catch some big bill fish! Though you can be limited as to how far offshore you can go on a half day trip, during the high season, from January through April, it is still possible to release sailfish on a half day trip in slick-calm weather conditions only 10 to 35 miles from the dock. If Sails are not in the cards, other fiesty and delicious pelagics abound Costa Rica's nearshore and close offshore waters like Mahi Mahi and Wahoo. Great Reef fishing is also a popular choice on these half day adventures to catch Groupers, Snappers, and other bottom dwelling denizens.

We had a group of 8 on March 22, 2021. We caught multiple Tuna and Sailfish. The crew cut up the tuna and made sashimi! Excellent fishing experience.
We vet our guides to make sure they are the best of the best. We want guides who not only catch fish, but show you a great time on the water, keep you safe, and give you a memorable experience with your group.
Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR code (like a mobile boarding pass). Just show your guide your QR code on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to go fishing. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!
In the case of inclement weather, our guides will make the call and we'll work with you to reschedule your trip or issue a full refund. Your safety is our top concern.
