Costa Rica is home to some of the best tuna fishing in the world, offering anglers the chance to battle powerful Yellowfin Tuna in the deep blue waters of the Pacific Ocean. These hard-fighting fish are known for their speed, strength, and incredible endurance, making them a top target for sportfishing enthusiasts. Whether you’re looking for an action-packed day on the water or the opportunity to reel in a massive Yellowfin Tuna, Caribsea Sportfishing provides world-class deep sea fishing charters from Quepos and Los Sueños.

Why Costa Rica is a Prime Destination for Tuna Fishing

Costa Rica’s Pacific Coast is a Yellowfin Tuna hotspot, with abundant schools found year-round. However, the peak season for trophy-sized tuna runs from June to October, when larger fish ranging from 40 to over 200 pounds are frequently caught.

Year-Round Fishing Opportunities – Yellowfin Tuna are present throughout the year, with peak action in the rainy season.
Large Schools of Tuna – These fish often travel in large groups, providing anglers with multiple hookups and fast-paced action.
Incredible Offshore Fishing Conditions – The waters off Quepos and Los Sueños offer ideal conditions for deep sea fishing, with plenty of baitfish attracting Yellowfin Tuna.

Tuna Fishing Techniques We Use

At Caribsea Sportfishing, we use various techniques to ensure you have the best chance of hooking and landing a trophy tuna:

Trolling with Artificial Lures & Ballyhoo – An effective way to locate and attract Yellowfin Tuna.
Live Bait Fishing – Using live bait such as sardines or bonito to target bigger tuna.
Popping & Jigging – This hands-on technique is exciting, as tuna aggressively strike topwater lures and jigs.
Chunking & Chumming – Scattering cut bait in the water helps attract feeding tuna closer to the boat.

Yellowfin Tuna are relentless fighters, often making long, powerful runs—so be prepared for an adrenaline-pumping battle!
