Multi-boat sportfishing operation with a fleet based in Quepos: the Mono Grande, a 52-foot Viking offering day and overnight trips with hot meals and full crew; the Monkeyshine, a custom 35-foot express built specifically for offshore fishing; and the Monkey Sea, a 31-foot Bertram once owned by King Hussein of Jordan, suited to both billfish and inshore roosterfish. The company is affiliated with a resort in Manuel Antonio.
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.
