Ocean fishing in Costa Rica?

Question

We are planning a trip to CR this May and my husband is interested in chartering a boat to fish for sailfish, etc. Anyone out there that knows of a good boat or any kind of recommendation?

Thanks :)

Ocean Fishing, yes yes, you will find some of the best sport fishing in the Golfo Dulce. A secluded gem of Costa Rica. Generally new to the tourism industry which means it is still very down to earth and believe me, it is where the Real fisherman come to adventure in Costa Rica.

The Gulf itself is situated inside the Osa Peninsula. From here you have access to both inshore and offshore fishing tours. There is a very functional fishing port town called Golfito in a smaller bay within Golfo Dulce and they bring in some nice mackeral, Jack, and tuna almost daily. I recommend staying at a sport fishing lodge like Crocodile Bay Lodge.

Boat Charters are available in Manuel Antonio which is on the Pacific Coast just north of the Osa Peninsula. Check out this company who is very reliable for booking charter fishing trips.

Quepos is a town in Manuel Antonio which I have heard is the spot for your sailfishing.
