Overview
Guanacaste's waters are full of fish all year round. Charter a private 34–36 ft sportfisher with captain and mate for up to four anglers: work the rocky points inshore for roosterfish, tuna and wahoo, or run offshore for sailfish, marlin and dorado. Full tackle, drinks and snacks are on board, and we take care of the ride from your hotel.
