About Your Trip

Costa Rica is home to some of the world’s premier billfishing, and the epicenter of this storied fishery is the seaside town of Quepos. Adjacent to Manuel Antonio National Park, Quepos is the destination for anglers from around the world who want to pursue every species of Marlin, as well as Sailfish, Dorado (Mahi Mahi) and Yellowfin Tuna. If you’re into big game fish, there's no better place. With the fertile currents of the Pacific Ocean passing right along the coast of Costa Rica, we have what many would say are the best Sailfishing grounds any where in the world. Captain Tyler is an expert in putting you right on top of these magnificent fish, giving you the best possible chance to hook up with a personal best!

Finest fishing outfitter in Costa Rica. Fished on all 3 boats during my week in Costa Rica. Each boat was staffed with skilled, experienced and friendly crew that truly catered to the needs of the clients. I won’t fish in Costa Rica with anyone else. This charter is the best.
