About Your Trip

Looking for the perfect way to experience everything Costa Rica's Pacific coast has to offer? This all-inclusive private adventure combines exciting sport fishing, beautiful beaches, snorkeling, and relaxation into one unforgettable day on the water.

Your day begins aboard a comfortable 22' center console as Helberth and his team take you to productive coastal waters where you'll have the opportunity to target a variety of hard-fighting fish depending on the season and conditions. Whether you're an experienced angler or trying fishing for the first time, the crew provides all the equipment, instruction, and local knowledge needed for a fun and productive experience.

After fishing, you'll head to a secluded beach where the pace slows down and the tropical scenery takes center stage. Enjoy a delicious seafood buffet, relax on the beach, or take advantage of the crystal-clear waters for snorkeling over colorful coral reefs filled with tropical marine life. If you're looking for even more excitement, you'll also have the opportunity to explore the coastline by jet ski before wrapping up the day with an open bar while soaking in Costa Rica's incredible coastal scenery.

This trip is perfect for families, couples, bachelor and bachelorette groups, or anyone looking to experience more than just fishing. Combining offshore adventure with beach relaxation makes it one of the most unique ways to spend a day in the Gulf of Papagayo.

Your private charter includes fishing equipment, bait, snorkeling gear, meals, beverages, and everything needed for a memorable day. Simply bring your swimwear, towel, sunscreen, sunglasses, camera, and your sense of adventure.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses.
