About the boat

Offshore charter out of Marina Flamingo aboard a 31-foot Bertram with twin Caterpillar 350s, fishing marlin, sailfish and tuna. The crew competes in offshore tournaments, which shows in how they work a spread.

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.

Guanacaste Charters, sportfishing charter
Marina Flamingo $$$$

Large-group sportfishing out of Marina Flamingo on a 47-foot Post, set up for up to a dozen guests. The right call when the group is big enough that a 30-foot boat means taking turns on the rods.

Playa Flamingo $$$

Runs fishing charters and surf trips to Witch's Rock and Ollie's Point from the Flamingo side. Good for a mixed group where some want billfish and others want the boat to drop them on a break.

Tamarindo Sportfishing, sportfishing charter
Playa Tamarindo $$$

Catch-and-release billfish operation working out of Playa Tamarindo, carrying on a fishing lineage that goes back decades on this beach. Boats launch from the sand, so boarding is by tender through the surf.
