Offshore Fishing Charters at the Gulf of Papagayo will provide an entire day of incredible adventures, allowing you to try inshore, offshore, and bottom fishing. In this complete tour, the captain will bring you to try different types of fishing and see the vast variety of local sea life around the Peninsula Papagayo coastline. Some species you can target include Sailfish, Marlin, Bull dorado, Yellowfin Tuna, and many more!

Offshore fishing (or deep sea fishing) is any type done more than 9 miles from the shoreline. When you’re deep sea fishing, you’re usually pretty far from land…roughly 20-30 miles out, in waters that are hundreds or even thousands of feet deep. Hence the name “deep sea fishing.” Offshore fishing charters have longer distances and more than an hour travel duration.  Larger boats, sometimes larger fish, heavy-duty equipment, and large heavy bait.

For your next fishing vacation, book a trip to Costa Rica and join a fishing trip with Tuna Fish Sportfishing. The day will be spent with our experienced captains, who have over three decades of fishing in this area – it’s safe to say they know the area intimately and will take you to the best spots to catch fish. Tuna Fish Sportfishing’s goals are to make trips child-friendly and enjoyable to all anglers on board, whether it’s your first fishing trip or your hundredth. For that reason, our boats and crew are the best options for you!

What are you waiting for? Costa Rica awaits you!!

Fradian was absolutely helpful with us. He was easy to contact, friendly, and provided us with detailed information about fishing. We booked three fishing days with Tuna Fish Sportfishing . These guys worked hard, and it was our best fishing trips ever. We highly recommend using Fradian's Fishing Charter for everyone. We hope to come back next year and definitely book again

I booked the boat solo.  The captain and mate were prompt with pickup and the boat was stocked with everything promised.  The water was clear and flat.  Great for sailing, tough for trolling.  But, they worked hard to try to get me a sailfish.  Had a couple marlin short strike and a wahoo bite the lure off but didn't get anything to the leader.  We stopped for some bottom fishing to get some red snapper so I wouldn't go home without reeling something in.  The chef at the steakhouse at Rui Gaunacasta made a great seafood buffet for us that we shared with others.  It was a good experience and I'd book the Tuna Fish Sportfishing again if we return to that part of CR.

This was an amazing experience for me
and my wife. Super friendly and expert crew had us fishing in no time. Tuna, Jacks, Barracuda, and Rooster Fish. Tuna prepared for a snack on the boat and some of our catch taken to be cooked for dinner. Wonderful. We will be back with the rest of our family!!!

Great time fishing with Moses and Alex on the boat Wasabi Junior.  They were on time, made everything aboard easy, and were very friendly.  We caught a barracuda, a mahi mahi, and a blackfin tuna.  The crew prepared ceviche on the boat and sent us home with clean fillets. Highly Recommend!

Really enjoyed going out on the La Lisa with Jose and his mate. We had a great time and caught lots of fish. The trip was highlighted with my first Roosterfish! Definitely a trip I will remember for a lifetime.
