We are a fully licensed and insured fishing company ready to take you out for a full day or a half day. We offer a wide variety of fishing options in the Papagayo Gulf: inshore, offshore, coastal, bottom, casting, fly and spear fishing. If you are looking to save money or prefer not to fish alone, Lisa can arrange a split-charter with other fisherman/woman looking for the same. Captain Daniel has over 40 years of fishing experience and his mate Jose has over 20 years. Snorkeling can be included at the end of your fishing trip at no additional cost. Costa Rica sportfishing is known worldwide as one of the greatest sport fishing/surfing destination and is fun for the entire family. Surf trips to Witche's Rock and Ollie's offered as well with a guide and you can rent surf board and boogie board through us. We look forward to hearing from you. Pura Vida! « less
