Private fishing charters from Marina Pez Vela aboard the Double Nickel, a 42 foot boat taking up to 12 anglers with a professional Costa Rican crew. The operation specializes in light tackle bait and switch fishing for sailfish, marlin, mahi mahi, and yellowfin tuna, with online booking through FareHarbor.
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.
