Sailfish and marlin offshore, roosterfish and snapper on the inshore reefs, and a marina full of captains who spend more days on the water than on land. We know these docks personally. Below are 31 operations we track across the three main fishing centers on this coast: Marina Pez Vela in Quepos, Los Suenos in Herradura, and the Golfo Dulce lodges around Golfito and Zancudo.
Tell us your dates, group, and target species, and we will match you to the right boat and confirm current rates. That is what our concierge is for, and it costs you nothing extra.
Before you book, one honest note. Prices, departure times, and what is included move with the season here. Rivers rise and drop, tides reset the schedule, boats come out of the water for maintenance, and operators adjust rates without telling anyone first. The details on this page are what we last confirmed directly with the operator, and we go back and check them, but your booking is with the operator and their confirmation is the final word on price, timing, pickup, and what you get. If a detail matters to your trip, whether that is a dietary need, a mobility question, a birthday, or a tight flight, ask us before you book and we will confirm it with them directly rather than guess.
Full day or half day, offshore billfish or inshore roosterfish, big group or a couple: every boat below fishes differently. Tell us what you want to catch and we will handle the rest.
