Peak season for Seamount fishing is from April – December.

What sets Quepos apart from other fishing destinations in Costa Rica?

The fishing here is great year round and the location offers a diverse option of fishing styles you can enjoy. Whether you are looking for an overnight trip to the famed seamounts for Marlin, a day trip chasing sailfish and other pelagic species, inshore for roosters and cuberas or something totally unique like fly fishing on the Savegre River, there is a bit of everything.

The reason Quepos is arguably the best fishing destinations in Costa Rica is because of the location as it relates to the best fishing grounds and sea floor in Costa Rica. If you look at the wind maps and current charts, you will see the central pacific area of Costa Rica offers slick calm sea conditions and perfect currents to hold pelagic species as well as inshore species year round. Our average run time to the fishing grounds is 45 minutes to 1.5 hours unlike other parts of the world where it takes ours and sometimes days to get to the fishing action.
