Quepos Inshore Fishing Charter
Costa Rica is world renowned for its incredible bill fishing, but we also have an amazing (and little known!) inshore fishery as well. Here on the pacific coast of Costa Rica, we have some of the best rooster fishing any where in the world along with cubera snapper, amberjack, grouper and other species including snook.
Just this past year, we had one charter company break two world records for Pacific black snook and we have a feeling that will fall again in the coming months/years.
When is the best season for inshore fishing?
The great thing about inshore fishing is you can do it any time of the year and it typically is action packed, so great for avid anglers as well as youngsters that bet bored easily. Not to mention all the sea life you can see on any given day.
What type of charter should I book?
For inshore fishing, you can do full days, so you have some flexibility there as well. If you are coming down to fish a few days, we recommend giving inshore fishing a shot at least once as the species are diverse and there is something for everyone to enjoy.

Quepos Offshore Fishing
Quepos offshore fishing is what fishing in Costa Rica is all about! Offshore World Championship is being held at Quepos since 2012 for a reason. Catch and release records are being broken year after year. If you’re into big game fish, give it a shot on our charter boat! With the fertile currents of the Pacific Ocean passing right along the coast of Costa Rica, we have what many would say is the best sail fishing grounds any where in the world.
When to book a Quepos offshore fishing trip?
Offshore fishing is great year-round in Costa Rica. In December – May period, the migration of Pacific sails is concentrated in the central pacific region of Costa Rica and offers anglers the chance at double digit release days pretty much any time in that frame window. During this time of year, Queos also gets a lot of mahi mahi, blue marlin, yellowfin tuna and the occasional wahoo. For marlin in specific, Quepos area gets a really good bite during the months of May – October when the meat fish show up in good numbers as well.
If you are not looking for billfish, you can also target wahoo, mahi mahi and tuna which is great table fare. Regardless of the time of year you visit, there is always action offshore and just ask us when the best time is for your target species and our advise is free to you.
