Prime Morning Fishing Experience
Target bucket-list species in the nutrient-rich waters of the Gulf of Papagayo. Timed precisely for peak morning feeding hours, our 5-hour charter combines active inshore trolling and live-bait fishing with top-tier comfort and safety.
After landing your target fish, our crew will prepare fresh sashimi right on deck, served alongside iced local beers and light refreshments.
This 5-hour charter gives you one additional hour of fishing time compared to the industry-standard 4-hour tours — more time on the water, more opportunities to land your trophy catch.

Every charter is led by Captain Stephen, a licensed captain (Instituto Costarricense de Pesca y Acuicultura) who comes from a long line of captains and began helping his father on the water at age seven. He has lived in Playas del Coco for nearly 20 years and knows the Gulf of Papagayo's reefs, currents, wildlife, and — most importantly — its weather, so every trip is planned around the day's real conditions. He speaks fluent English and Spanish, and is learning French.
You'll be aboard our 2004 Pro-Line 23' Sport center console with a 250 HP Suzuki outboard, head (marine toilet), and shade. It's designed around groups of up to four guests, with a fifth guest available on request. For anglers: Penn and Shimano rods and reels, outriggers for trolling, live bait, and a 2026 Garmin GPSMAP 1243xsv chartplotter with a GT56UHD transom transducer so you see exactly what's beneath you.
