Offshore Fishing Charters in Papagayo

Offshore Fishing Charter at the Gulf of Papagayo will provide you with 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 of the species you can target include Sailfish, Marlin, Bull dorado, Yellowfin Tuna, and many more!

Primarily, offshore fishing (or deep sea fishing) is defined as any type of fishing 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 travel duration of more than an hour.  Larger boats and 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 3 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!!

We took the Freedom II boat out for fishing and a BBQ. It was so much more than we expected. We caught black tuna and groupers, but even more amazing was the beach and BBQ. We had a private beach and a home cooked BBQ. These guys made us feel like friends/family. Awesome experience.

We went fishing with Tuna Boat Sport Fishing in Costa Rica. What an amazing trip we had!!! 5 dorados 2 sailfish which we released and a big delicious Mahi Mahi! Captain Jose and 1st mate Romario made the trip !! They are amazing and very knowledgeable about the fish. Thank you so much! Also Tunafish Sport Fishing helped us with a taxi for a fun day out in Cocoa Beach. I definitely recommend them!

The Crew was wonderful. Friendly and accommodating. We saw Humpback Whales, turtles, porpoises, dolphins, flying fish on the way out to the fishing grounds! Caught 6 Mahi Mahi and 2 Yellowfin plus had a 10 minute fight with a Marlin but lost that battle :). Lunch and snacks were great plus we got to have a quick swim in a private bay and a tour of the shoreline on the way home. Highly recommend !

Booked a full day offshore trip February 6th on the Tuna Fish boat and had an awesome adventure. We caught 7 big bull mahi-mahi and in addition to the fishing we saw humpback whales, numerous giant sea turtles, hundreds of dolphins, and thousands of jumping Devil Rays. The captain and 1st mate were great! We had such a blast that we booked another half day inshore trip 2 days later with them and caught bonitos and a bunch of small red snapper. These guys worked to put us on the fish and it paid off!!!

Had a nice fishing trip with Max and Jose. Jose worked very hard continually changing bates to give us the best chance to catch fish. We caught 3 Mahi Mahi and had numerous other hits. We also had a Sailfish hit a bate but lost him. Highlight of the trip was when my 12 year old Grandson had a Marlin on that Jose thought was over 200 pounds. We also saw Whales and numerous Dolphins. Max and Jose recommended taking our catch to the Monkey Bar for they to cook for us which we did. Highly recommend !! Great experience!
