Marina Bahía Golfito is an IGY-network marina in Golfito offering sportfishing packages in the Golfo Dulce alongside 54 yacht and megayacht slips. The marina books inshore and offshore charters for blue marlin, black marlin, sailfish, yellowfin tuna, snapper, and roosterfish, with November through June as its high season. It operates alongside the on-site Amaka Ocean Living Lodge and Paka Paka restaurant.
We book this boat for our guests as part of the trip: the day, the pickup from the villa, and the fish going to a restaurant that night if you want it cooked. Prices, departure times, and what is included move with the season, so we confirm the current numbers with the captain before you commit.
